Day 003

It's New Years Eve. I ate a lot. I didn't exercise. I also didn't manage to read. At least not yet. If I'm going to be honest with myself and with you, I would say not to count on it. But I might surprise myself and all of you. I still have two and half hours of this day.

Suggestions

There are a few things I'd like to do here that I'm not yet doing. The biggest one being that I want to post a photo of myself everyday so that you can better see the physical changes that are occurring. But where should I post these photos? Should simply embed the photo into each post? Should I host them on a photo hosting server such as Snapfish or Google's Picasa? I want to make this as easy as possible and don't want anyone to have to go make a profile for a service they'll never use just to look at some bad photos of me. So, I'm looking for suggestions. Post 'em below.

Day 002

I realize that it's early in the day, but I don't see myself having time later today to do this.

Last night I finished off with two slices of left over Little Caesar's pizza and a little bit of left over lunch. But I did skip having anything for desert. I actually didn't eat anything after 6:00pm. I hear that's good for some reason. I ate a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and had a glass of OJ this morning.

Caspian and I played outside despite it being a little cold and damp. I imagine that that is going to be the extent of the physical activity for me today.

I read my passage of Philippians 2:1-18. Paul equates humans with nothing in verse 7. I'd say he's pretty spot on. Go check it out, you silly little nothing you. It's rather humbling.

Check back tomorrow for more. I'll be at work Friday through Tuesday. Those are going to be the hard days. I should be able to migrate this portion of my blog over to a dedicated blog just for this stuff so that it doesn't get lost on all of other rantings and shenanigans.

Day 001

So it's the first day of my journey to making myself a better person in the three areas I mentioned here. According Plasma Biological Services, I weigh 231lbs today. I have no reason to dispute this.

I had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast and a lunch that was some sort of chicken, pasta, carrots, broccoli, and a ranch seasoning. It looked healthy. It tasted healthy. Melissa said it was healthy. I'll assume it was healthy.  I also had a hand full of Wheat Thins. My beverages have been water and OJ. You can count on some chocolate milk being thrown in there before the day ends.

I can't say I've exercised my brain a whole lot. I watched Hell Boy and two episodes of HOUSE M.D. while I was plugged into the machine. I plan to spend some quality time with Tom Welling in Smallville later today. We all have our stumbling blocks. Don't judge me.

I just finished reading Philippians 2:1-18. Melissa has been reading that over and over again and asked that  do so with her. This has, unfortunately, been my first time through. She's been doing this for two weeks or so. I haven't lied about it to. She just never asked.

The part that sticks out to me is the part where Paul tells the Philippian Church to stop complaining. Anyone who knows me knows that I like to complain. For proof of this, see my facebook page or my other blog posts. So, I will take those words to heart and attempt to become less of a complainer. You can help contribute to this by praying that I am successful along with these other goals.

I plan to post a photo of myself every so often (ideally everyday) along with these posts on a separate blog. I haven't walked the steps of actually making that a possibility. I find myself with free time at work on the weekends. That will probably be when all of this happens. Until then, check back with me tomorrow right here.
