I have been using www.myfitnesspal.com and the accompanying iPhone app to help track my calorie intake as well as my progress with my weight loss program. So far so good! I also purchased WeightBot which is a great app for tracking your weight.
Not much else going on. Got paid today, really small paycheck since I was out sick for a full week. At that point and time I wasn’t past my introductory period with the new company I am working for therefore I did not have sick leave to use. I was recently notified (today) that I am now a full fledged employee. That means I can now use my sick leave if and when I’m sick. Also the company is picking up my entire health care plan.
Hopefully going to catch the USC vs. University of Hawaii tomorrow.
Just a word of advice, don’t use the same password for all of your logins, especially email and banking. Try to have a unique password for every login you make. In case your account is comrpomised, the attacker will be left with one single account. If you use a universal password, which a lot of people do, then you can be screwed royally. I had my GMail account compromised recently and was shocked to find out it was sending out spam. I noticed that someone from Spain had logged in to my account. In any case, I recently switched from using one universal password to using extremely unique passwords. I’m talking 20 alphanumeric and characters such as !@#$%^&*()_+.,’”; to thwart would be crackers. Just a heads up!
Went to work for 11.5 hours, got a phone call during work telling me my son’s football pads were in my wife’s car. My son couldn’t go to practice. That bummed my trip. Hate to see him miss football. Hoping to get to work by 6:00AM so I can leave earlier. That means I have to fall asleep by 10:00-10:30PM at the latest otherwise I will be screwed. I won’t have enough sleep and I’ll be unbelievably tired in the AM. I got my Fatlace lanyards today. It’s the new white ones that say Fatlace on them that they recently released.
I bought four of them since the last time they sold out of their illest lanyards and never restocked them. At least it wasn’t $15/lanyard.
I quit eating white rice in my attempt to lose weight. I noticed that I get hungry very quickly after eating a decent sized meal. I just had some kalua pig, lomi salmon, chicken long rice and am still hungry. I think I’m going to get some desert.
My uncle died. He was only 49 years old. That’s a pretty young age to go. I wish he was still here. Although we weren’t close, my mother and him were very close. He was like the brother she never had. It sucks that cancer takes good people who have so much more in their lives to share with everyone. I guess the only thing I learned from this is that try whatever it is to keep cancer at bay. Lose weight, eat less red meat, don’t smoke, don’t drink in excess, things like that, or so they say. Just keep the faith.
It’s pretty crazy how quick the year has gone by. In April I lost my job and found another in May. I am not sure if I will stick around at my current job. I wish the hours were a little easier but I’m not going to complain, the main thing is I got a job. But at the same time, it does take a huge toll on me and my family.
In that regard, it’s almost Monday and I am dreading going in to work. Wish I didn’t feel this way. In closing. Have a great week.
Got my drive back. It comes and goes. Lost my previous job and found another one that is alright. Trying hard to figure things out before it’s too late. Re-added all my RSS feeds back for shoes, clothes etc.
Best purchase you can do for your computer, an SSD. Preferably the Intel X25-M G2 80GB or 160GB. The 40GB is way too small to really be beneficial. I plan to pick up a 160GB hopefully within the next six months.
