Just today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll weigh myself and use Nutribase and the tools of The Hacker’s Diet to help me reach (and keep) my goals.
And Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice, drink 2 liters of water , walk 5 miles, NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.I think things are coming together into a routine. One of my plans was to help my parents for a few hours every day (or weekday at least) doing anything they might want.
My dad and I have been working on a computer project off and on for over 20 years. But, with me working full time (in fact he was still working full time back when we began it) and the routine emergencies of life — we have a spurt of progress and then have to set it aside for months or even years.
And I could be helpful with projects around the house. Or just company on a lazy day. Whatever — there’s almost always something, isn’t there? But they weren’t really into the idea of me coming every day — it seemed excessive to them. And four days went by where I didn’t visit.
Well. When I showed up yesterday my dad told me that he WOULD like me to come everyday!! It seems he makes more progress on his goals if he knows I’m going to show up to discuss them. Ain’t that the truth – maybe now we’ll see something happen!
Meanwhile?

!!!20 years!!! That’s like eternity in computer time!
Woof. Well, I still felt pretty full from the 1/2 order of chicken nachos I had as a late supper last night, so I didn’t start getting hungry until 11:15 or so. Good thing, because I forgot to get more oatmeal. After a few more minutes, I walked to BK for an early lunch (veggie burger). I was pretty sweaty by the time I got back, but the A/C inside the office felt goooooood.
This just in: Yayyyy! the meeting got cancelled! That almost makes up for the NWS upgrading the chance of rain from 30% (take the rainsuit) to 50% (take the car) this afternoon.
Anyway, J4TROT (the rest of the day) I’ll finish drinking my water & consider carefully how much meat I eat.
huh! The first computers we bought for the project were the VERY FIRST IBM PCs, in 1982!!
To Eternity and Beyond!
Hi KB! I hope that you’re not still using those old PCs for the project. Every day? So this will be almost like working full time again.
Hi boran! No those poor things bit the dust a long time ago. I was reminding Dad of them just today (I guess they were on my mind) and he reminded me that the project was “very different” back then. Duh!
I go over at 1pm and stay until they’re talked out — between 4 & 5 so far. They really appreciate it. And it’s giving me some structure to the day.
I just realized that I missed posting today though. So, I’m still working on structure!
