Lowering my fat % - records

Here is a public link to my weight tracking

Lowering Percent Body!

I have set up my diet and am tracking my weight. I am starting at 241Lbs and want to get down to 200 Lbs at least. The daily plate is a really nice website for tracking this stuff. I particularly like how I can track the calories burned from exercise. In the past I would try and diet, but after I exercised I would eat too few calories and I would feel like I was starving. In response I would binge and feel like I had no self control.

Tracking my calories burned and eating appropriately fixes this problem. Also eating low glycemic index carbs and eating 5 smaller meals rather than 3 larger ones really helps to eliminate those feelings of hunger.

French Toast for a sick polarbear



















Rachel is pretty sick today, so I made her some french toast, placed it next to her pillow and woke her up.

Flash Drive Recovery Success!

From Project Pics


The USB connector had broken off Joby's flash drive and she needed the files asap. There was no time to send it back to Corsair. I was able to solder on a new connector to extract the files!

The soldering job is pretty messy; it's one of my first real soldering jobs and the solder contacts are pretty small. I think I could make it much much neater if I did it over.

Think we'll learn this time?

Maybe with history and vast knowledge at our fingertips we can stop making the same mistakes?
