Workout Web Page

I finally created a web page to log my workouts. Makes it easier when I am in the gym to log my workouts.

Tested it out today, it works. Created a shortcut on my home screen.

Need to get some sleep though, need to be in bed before 1AM.

I think that will improve my performance.

Set up an area by my desk to test ESP32 WLED HUB75 and LED systems.

Did Nothing Of Note This Weekend

This was a very unproductive weekend, I think I just needed a break.

Been burned out and the stuff I normally do was underwhelming.

Notice a bit of lazy creeping in.

Late post reversing by an hour.

Search For Fur Buddy Continues

Went to a few more places with my daughter to look for a dog. The Tacoma one was promising, had a lot of choices but it was far. Auburn Humane Society was small, and went to relook at Regional Animal Shelter at King County and there is one I kind of like that is still there.

Did a park run today

Time: 55:35

I had the wrong strategy also I was tired.

Weight almost reset to above 310 but weighed in under 310 again resetting the 3 day clock. I did not cheat.

Dog Adoption Search

Went dog looking again, saw one we may want, but got adopted. Still early in the search so I am going to let it happen by chance.

There is a concern with my weight though, 2nd day above 310 another day and I will be officially over 310, but got a park run tomorrow and that may do it.

Dream Team Loses

Today watched the LA Rams that was anointed this year’s super team, lose to division rival the San Francisco 49ers.

Waiting for the Internet to go crazy.

Weight is up there, but not to worried.

First Game Of Season

First game of season on the Seahawks won. Barely, was exciting though.

I worked out in the morning and did my 1 hour run so I didn’t have to worry about working out in the evening.

It was a weird Wednesday game too, I think the second on in league history.

Won so was worth it.

Afterwards got my mile walk in.

Been Sleepy All Day

Not sure what is going on with me, all I know is my body is telling me I need sleep.

Been dozing off at my desk a few times.

After work, I took a look at my LED project, chatgpt got me back to modifying code, I really thought it was just a configuration issue.

Memorial Day 2026

I Tried, I Failed. If I were to score a day, Saturday would be a win, today would probably been a loss.

I tried to get a weird LCD display working, it failed bad

Test 123

I tried a lot of things and it just did not work. Maybe another program not WLED would work.

But I did learn a few things, I have to keep an eye on power and voltage drop.

Power Supply For WLED

I did work out early today, but still got my steps in late. Gym closed at 11AM today, got my workout in though. Looks like 3.5MPH at 2.0 incline for 30 minutes is what I will be shooting for.

Finished Overdue Tasks

Finally painted the deck, well at least the main part, it has been long overdue. Still need the railings and trim but at least those normally don’t impact traffic.

Another thing was cleaning the dining room, an the living room (mostly).

Its good enough.

Administrative note, was out late, could not post from my phone so posting now and back dating it an hour.

I did it

Huge goals met, first off, with the help of my son, daughter and some planning I was able to meet my goal of sub 50 for the 5k. Such emotional joy. I didn’t think I could do it, watching the video of me coming in, and I looked slow, but I gave it everything I got and I made my goal of cracking 50min.

My day was not done though, after the 5k I was still at 306.2 had a bit more to go. I walked a mile with my daughter, I consumed very little, I spit a lot.

Yet when my wife came home I was only 306, so she went and walked with me for half an hour and then we went grocery shopping.

Before dinner, my son saw me weigh in at

Posted this on facebook with the caption “Been struggling but I am ok now”

So happy both with accomplishment and relief. Milestones are rare, this is my first double milestone.
