So It Begins

Weight is finally going down again, time to get my weight done.

At least I am back down to under 330, so the clock resets.

Hoping doing 12k steps a day for a week will get me down. Will see, for two days in a row I hit 12k.

Weight: 329.0

Weight Is Too Much

Day 1 of 3 chances, I finally cracked 330 again, I think it was a fluke though, doesn’t seem right that I gained so much weight.

Anyway, it did motivate me to push for 12000 steps, as I post I qualified for the 10k fitbit goal, but standing at 11102, so another 10 minutes of walking in place should do it.

Going to bed early, need some sleep.

Also eating a light dinner.

Case for Storage

Found a large case with a bunch of 5.25″ external interface ports so I can install multiple hot swappable disk trays.

It is not going to look pretty but it will be secure.

Tomorrow I got some down time, so I will work more on my annual plan.

Did my 12000 steps but as I post I do not have my 10 floors. I should get it before midnight though.

Making Goals

Meeting more goals like going into the office, and little tasks like getting stuff done at work. I actually feel productive, although I am still tired, things are working out for me.

I watched my son swim meet today, I saw his first event and then there was an hour gap. I took advantage of this time and walked around Lindburgh High School’s track. There was light, it was an easy cushioned walk,. Racked up 4500 steps (6 laps) during that time.

I should be tired. Son will be too, he did a 200M and a 500M swim. I think it is meters, could be yards.

Hail Weather

Was going to walk outside today, would have gotten it done in less then an hour, but hail stopped that. It took longer, but will get it done in home.

As I post, I am at 5300 steps and 10 floors. I will make my goals before midnight, but should have been done by now.

Light Coming Out

The sun is still out when I begin my walk, but it has been getting darker. I walked around RTC three times, started at around 5PM got done at 6:30, almost an exact pace of 30 minutes a lap.

Was starting to get dark when I started, so it was dark when I finished, but I think it will get brighter.

Finally, the ESXi host is at its final config. I really don’t have to touch it unless I need to add more resources.

Win Win All Around

Starting to work towards my goals one step at a time.

Today I traded CPUs with my son’s PC, he got a faster AMD 5500 and I got a compatible AMD 2600 CPU for CentOS 7.

Got little things done as well like removing the RAM to move to old server, cleaned office a bit, got some steps in.

Also got Rocky 9.1 to kickstart and install a GUI so I can get MATE desktop on it.

Step by step getting to my goals.

Didn’t Start Goals

Hope it isn’t a trend, but did some other things today and not really worked towards my goals.

I did do some errands but it did not feel productive.

At least meeting the minimum workout goals.

Seahawks Done Back To Work

With the Seahawks loss today, they have ended their season. It was a great run for a rebuilding year.

Now it is time to get back to work on my goals.

Got my new drawing tablet connected to my PC.
