When we saw it Fearghus said he’d be interested in trying it. A quick grep of teh Intarwebs found this recipe. I’ve slightly tweaked it for my…

Blood of an Athlete!
I got a call this morning from the Blood Center. The guy asked if everything was all right since they hadn’t heard from me in a while. I told him that at some point last year they stopped calling me.. so I stopped coming in :D. He apologized and asked if I could come in to give blood. Today is…

Tuna Snack (like a Scooby snack only fishier)
Per Dooce: snack on canned tuna … So I buy little cans of StarKist solid white albacore tuna and add a little flavor either with soy sauce or a spicy mustard. It’s 110 calories with 20 grams of protein, and I’ve never had a snack keep me so satiated between meals. Also, it helps my muscles recover after my workouts.…
Friday Five
1. Work/Programming “We interrupt this new project to bring you and update from the old project”. I’m still fighting to setup an environment for the new project.

C25K Day 1
This morning I did my first day of C25K. It actually wasn’t that bad. I’m glad I did straight walking and then walking interspersed by jogging last week as a warm up for this. But even then doing 1 minute of jogging followed by 1.5 minutes of recovery wasn’t -too- bad. I’m listening to a podcast of music where the…
“Finally decided”
I keep wanting to say “I finally decided I was tired of being fat” but that’s not totally true.. I decided I was tired of being fat a long time ago. When I was size 18 in college. When I couldn’t put the tray table down on the airplane flight. When I had to ask for a seat belt extender…
