Day 241

What I did:

• Had a rough morning, during which I really wanted to come home. Why didn't I? Because tonight was Commander night, and I didn't want to drive back. Magic kept me at work today!

Day 240

What I did:

• Sent both of my sons to cub scouts. This is significant because it was my younger son's first time.

Day 239

What I did:

• Received a glowing performance review. On a scale of 1-5, with 3 being "you're doing your job", I scored an average of 4.3 with no category being below 4. Hooray for me!

End of Week 34

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 33: 236.8
End of Week 34: 238.6
Lost 65.0 lbs

A slight setback this week, though it isn't surprising. Friday was pizza, Saturday was a birthday party and a buffet. I should have behaved myself, but I didn't. Oh, well.

Day 238

What I did:

• Paid bills like a responsible adult. I wear that disguise well.

Day 237

What I did:

• Went to church, did the church thing, came home, did the home thing

Day 236

What I did:

• Baptized my son
• Ate way, way, way too much food

Day 235

What I did:

• Was working on a new import process at work so intently that I didn't even notice time's passage. I looked up, and suddenly, it was 3:00 PM. I like it when that happens.

Day 234

What I did:

• Bailed out of Commander night to go to my son's pack meeting. I figured that was more important. And it was.

Day 233

What I did:

• Worked from home because my little girl was complaining that her head and her throat hurt. I did manage to get some work done.

Day 232

What I did:

• Tried to watch The Monuments Men with my fantastic wife. We couldn't finish it. It was just so dull...

End of Week 33

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 32: 238.6
End of Week 33: 236.8
Lost 66.8 lbs

Another week gone. Another couple of pounds down. Once again, I was expecting to go up or at least stay constant. I wasn't very good this week. Maybe my body has gotten used to this and is better at processing inputs, now?

Day 231

What I did:

• Had a normal, boring day, during which nothing of any import occurred

Day 230

What I did:

• Bounced a balloon with my daughter about half an hour. We supplied only because it was dinner time. She would have kept going (and going and going).
• Did some small birthday things with my son. He turned eight today.

Day 229

What I did:

• Mowed the lawn
• Took my family to Cracker Barrel for my son's birthday dinner. I may have overindulged on that baked apple dumpling dessert. It was oh so good.

Day 228

What I did:

• Was worried that I would have to work late because of other people taking their sweet time, but they managed to get their stuff done
  

Day 227

What I did:

• Rocked Commander night again. Played two, won two. Go, me!

Day 226

What I did:

• Had a relatively uneventful day. Not much to say, today.

Day 225

What I did:

• Watched Saturday's Warrior with my amazing wife. The story is timeless, but those costumes and hairstyles sure aren't. I still haven't figured out one thing: why Saturday?

End of Week 32

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 31: 240.8
End of Week 32: 238.6
Lost 65.0 lbs

Hey, look at that! 65 lbs! I wasn't expecting that. In fact, I was expecting to actually gain a pound or two. I wasn't very good this weekend. Worked out, okay, I guess.

Day 224

What I did:

• Went overboard on the Alfredo sauce again. But it was sooooo good!

Day 223

What I did:

• Went to Olive Garden with my amazing wife and ate way too much good food

Day 222

What I did:

• Went to Tucson with the family to see the Discovering the Dinosaurs exhibit. It was pretty fun. There were a lot of dinosaur statues, most of which were animatronic.

Day 221

What I did:

• Left my house at 7:15 AM. Returned at midnight. It was a very long day...

Day 220

What I did:

• Played some more Commander with a new deck built around Màrton Stromgald. The first game was lame, with one pleasure completely talking over everything, but the second game was long and very hard-fought. I won that one. :)

Day 219

What I did:

• Beat up the code that's been bullying me for the last three days. Yeah, I finally won!

Day 218

What I did:

• Got beat up by code at work again

End of Week 31

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 30: 241.6
End of Week 31: 240.8
Lost 62.8 lbs

I don't have much to say tonight. I'm almost out of the 240s, which is pretty cool. And that's about all I've got.

Day 217

What I did:

• Had a pretty rough day at work. Nothing external. It's just that none of my code seemed to work the way that I wanted it to. That's very frustrating. I did have some success, which is good, but I'm not done, yet. Tomorrow. Blah.

Day 216

What I did:

• Visited some cousins whomi haven't seen in several years. We had a good old time, talking about... stuff... and... things...

Day 215

What I did:

• Attended the baptism of one of the children in my Primary class. It was a short and simple event, but no less beautiful. She asked me to be one of the two witnesses! I was surprised and very honored that she thought of me.

Day 214

What I did:

• Scalded my fingers while taking corn out the microwave. Steam is awful hot.
• Played a bunch of Final Fantasy XIV. It was glorious.

Day 213

What I did:

• Played some more Commander. Two games, the second of which I completely dominated. It was pretty awesome. I think it's time to build a new deck, though. I just haven't figured out what, yet.

Day 212

What I did:

• Managed to remain skeptical of everything that I read on the Internet today. Stupid April Fool's Day.
