I feel rather dehydrated this morning. I only drank about 4 quarts of water all day yesterday, so I'm fairly certain my numbers are lower today as a result of that.

I had a snack bar for breakfast, and then went out to lunch with coworkers where I had fried catfish, mac&cheese and about a third of the fries they served me. For dinner last night, I had one Miller Lite at around 9:30-10 (liquid bread etc. etc.). Now, I'm off to work, so that I can continue to keep myself in the style to which I have become accustomed. Tonight: we party.
As an aside, these weigh-in posts were originally meant to be a stopgap for when I absolutely didn't have time to write a full food log and other rambling madness. I realize that they've become more the norm than an exception, but my sleep/work/social schedule is keeping me from writing much more, and I'd like to think that the most important part of the whole process is still being conveyed: the numbers. Still, apologies for not managing the full load that I'd originally been doing.
Later, Fatheads.

It Kills Productivity
Another fast one today, because the snooze alarm is my hated enemy.

I had a South Beach bar for breakfast, a yogurt and an apple for mid-morning snack, and a small bag of peanuts for lunch. For dinner, I had Chinese delivery of teriyaki chicken skewers and some fried dumplings (the skewers alone weren't enough to meet the minimum order).
I had to do a bunch of laundry and cleaning yesterday, and ironing took up far too much of my time. One of these days, I'll get back into an exercise rhythm, I'm sure.
That's all, Fatheads.

Ah well, I should have just enough time to put together work foods and get cleaned up to get in when I want to, as long as I don't start internetting.
Man, I'd forgotten how awful the music video version of that was. Ah, well.

God Save Donald Duck, Vaudeville and Variety
The long march towards progress begins. Someone recently asked me if I wasn't still on Nutrisystem, and I jokingly responded "sort of, I'm undergoing lifestyle change".

Mostly a joke, but not entirely. I had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast yesterday, a small turkey and bacon (I feel I may have been shorted on the bacon) sandwich for lunch, and another bagel and cream cheese at around 4 or so. This is hardly the healthiest day I've had, but it's reasonable and not exactly unhealthy. Certainly a far more bready day than I like to have, but we work with what we've got.
Today, I actually woke up and got out of bed at the right time, so I've prepared my breakfast to Nutrisystem spec, as well as packed my traditional snacks/lunch for work. It's odd, for most of the last week or so, I've become used to just grabbing a South Beach snack bar for breakfast, which is just fine for when I'm in a hurry, but this feast of a piece of raisin bread, a Nutrisystem Chocolate Chip Scone and a small juice box just feels like a lot of food for breakfast. Maybe it was the quart of water I drank before eating (I do try to drink a half-gallon with breakfast... and I just hit that mark, whoopee).
I spend all day going up and down stairs at work, especially at the location I switched to this week. Even if I didn't need to go climbing about to do my job, there's about 2 flights between me and the restroom, and I try to drink at least 4 quarts over the course of my day. You can imagine what this means for my relationship with the restroom.
When I was younger, meaning as recently as my teens (I'm not all that old, I have to remind myself) I always used to take the stairs two at a time. At some point in my fatness, it became uncomfortable to continue to do so. Yesterday, I realized I'd started up that habit on an occasional basis again.
Feels good, bro.

Experimental Log
So I decided I wanted to try writing today's entry on the iPad, since I'm planning on trying to use it for business travel. This will, of course, mean basically nothing to you, but I find it interesting how many of the Google apps and accounts I take for granted on my other devices are verboten on this thing. If I DO travel without a personal laptop, I'm going to have to find a way to upload photos taken with my DSLR. The Droid has great integration with my Picasa albums, so any pictures taken with it are always easy to upload.
Weight: 289.6 lbs
Body Fat: 39.3%
Water: 46.5%
I'm fairly happy with that, since the weekend was a net weight loss, despite a certain amount of drinking and improper eating that took place. I mostly behaved myself, but there were certainly some moments if bad behavior. For dinner last night, I ordered chinese pandit noodles and teriyaki chicken skewers. I tossed a little more than half of the noodles, so that was good? otherwise, I didn't exactly eat yesterday, except for a South Beach bar in the morning, and some Nutrisystem lunch bar. Back to the grind today, though.
I suppose I could get the SD card attachment, transfer photos from the DSLR to the iPad, and then transfer photos onto the micro SD card for the phone... I hate this already. I definitely need to buy a few more SD cards, on that related note, since I can fill up 4GB without really trying in an afternoon on that camera, and I don't want to burn iPad memory on picture warehousing. Thank god SD cards have become so cheap.
I keep trying to use my mouse on the damned thing, because I'm sitting next to my computer with it. Need to break myself of that at some point.
All right, have a good one, Fatheads.

Never Volunteer
... because there's always more to do than you think there is. I was at work fairly late last night (around 8) and I realized while I was there that I would need to return this morning.

I'm comfortable with not calling this weight gain, as I was completely dehydrated yesterday morning, and that's why my weight was ridiculously low. Yesterday, I ate a South Beach bar for breakfast, and I went out in the early afternoon for a half-sandwich and a half-salad from Panera. For dinner, I came home and ordered a Jimmy Johns unwich (lettuce wrap) sans cheese, mayo or oil&vinegar.
I can't stop playing with my fondle-slab I picked up yesterday. I bought an original flavor 64GB iPad, which means no camera or built-in 3G, but I also picked up a Verizon MiFi hotspot, which is about a third of the size of my cell phone, and works pretty amazingly well. I'm starting out on the 1GB/month plan, and I only plan on keeping it activated when I'm traveling. (hint, I'm traveling).
The travel is actually the big reason I bought the thing. If I'm only traveling for a few days or a week for work, I travel with just the work laptop, but I don't use the work laptop for any of my personal business (blogging, reading my feedreader, Youtube, etc. etc.) so when I travel for longer than a week, I always have to carry the extra laptop. I have a 17" Dell that is just a fantastic machine as a desktop-replacement, but leaves something to be desired on the portability front.
Clearing security with both that and the work machine is always a bit of a chore, too (although I've yet to be the slowest person in line, fucking tourists). I think that, somehow, having just the work laptop and the iPad will be a bit easier to deal with than the current setup. I had to pick up a wireless keyboard for it, because the onboard one is alright for everything but actually typing long sentences. The standard Apple case and the Verizon sleeve are both fairly worthless, so I'm looking in to an alternative right now.
I could ramble on about the damned thing, but I need to get going in to work. Have a pleasant Sunday, Fatheads.
