The Road to 50
Oh Happy Day
Monday, November 19th, 2007The last couple days have been pretty good. I’ve managed to exercise, eat pretty well (even when I went out), and I’m close to reaching the 50,000-mark for Nanowrimo…more than a week before the end of the challenge. Best of all, Thursday is Thanksgiving and Santa’s appearance at the end of the Macy’s parade is […]
Another Weekend
Friday, November 16th, 2007Why do short work weeks always seem to be busier than normal ones? My job can be pretty quiet for weeks on end, but this week I hand a pretty constant stream of requests to handle. Some of them were pretty interesting and unexpected, but I wasn’t really in the mood to do much more […]
An Ordinary Day
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007The Tuesday after a three-day weekend is not easy, but is often more like a Monday times two. My day started out with me deciding I’d rather not wake up with my alarm (until I realized that it was a work day), I spent a majority of my time at the office half-asleep, and I […]
A Good Day
Thursday, November 8th, 2007After having a much better night’s sleep, I felt much better today and managed to get quite a bit done. Work was busy so the day went quick. I did manage to take my two breaks and walk about 1 1/2 miles, I went to the gym this evening and did another five miles on […]
Twice in One Day
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Yes, I’m procrastinating again instead of working on Nanowrimo project, but I’ll get back to that in just a few minutes. I just had to write a quick post to say that I managed a ten-minute walk break today, another 5.13 miles on the recumbent bike at the gym this evening (that’s two days straight […]
A Quick Update
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007This morning, I passed the 12,000 word mark for Nanowrimo. The writing is going fairly well and we aren’t even a week into the month yet. This is probably the most work I’ve done early in the month than ever before and I really think the preparatory outline and research have helped a lot. A […]
A Hard Habit to Break
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007After two weeks of the Great American Weight Loss Challenge I’ve lost a total of…(drumroll please)…a half pound! That’s right, I haven’t even lost an entire pound in two weeks and the weight I did lose is probably normal fluctuation since I tend to have a five-pound range of that at any given time.
My lack […]
Too Much, Too Little, Too Late
Sunday, September 9th, 2007Despite my good intentions, I did work on my Film Festival stuff before going bike riding…and darkness had fallen before I finished so I couldn’t get out. I did take a quick walk around the block (.76) so at least I got outside. I guess all the housework today will have to serve as my […]
Another Saturday Night
Saturday, September 8th, 2007Only this one follows a busier-than-normal day for me. I’ve already mentioned my bike ride and plans for earlier today, but I also spent the afternoon visiting the library, a bookstore, and getting a few groceries. Then, this evening, I decided to go out and do a practice walk of my tour route […]
Come Saturday Morning
Saturday, September 8th, 2007Bike riding is much easier and more fun first thing in the morning. Today I went out for a quick spin around the block…and ended up riding 5.5 miles (average speed 8mph, top speed 15.4 mph, and a total ride time of 41:31). The morning was so beautiful that I just couldn’t bear to head […]
