1. Work/Programming Busy busy busy at work. Yesterday I had lunch with my boss’s boss (who works out of the Florida office) and a bunch of the other San Francisco group that report up to her. One of the guys complained about how busy we are. I shushed him and reminded him that it’s better to be busy than not…
Friday Five – Friday the 13th edition
1. Work/Programming My pet project went to production yesterday. I finally got all the right permissions and got it live in the afternoon. So far nothing seems to have blown up. I’m heads down working on the next version. Currently it has 3 features and I’ve finished work on one of them. Luckily the one that’s finished is the hard…
Five Things – Post War Edition
1. Work/Programming My pet project has sucessfuly exited formal QA.. but I’m still waiting on RichMedia QA to complete. This means it may launch either tomorrow (doubtful) or maybe Thursday (or later). Today the Project Manager contacted me to get an estimate of how long it will take to do the next feature.. the feature I started, finished and tested…
R1P3D3 – Catching up
Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.3 Today’s change: -0.0 Net change: -1.7 “No Starch, No Sugar” Day 3. This recording stuff is hard. Catching up. R1P3D1 Saturday Weight: 283.7 (change from day before: -1.8) We went out for a late breakfast. I had half an omelet and cottage cheese and was stuffed. Then I was just never hungry…
R1P2D26 – Transitional Logic
Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.5 Today’s change: -0.0 Net change: -1.5 VLCD day 26. Stubborn. I’m fairly certain I was totally on plan yesterday.. and yet my weight stuck at the same number. Just no telling. Anyway. Today is the last VLCD day. Tomorrow I get to have breakfast. The plan is to stick with the “no…
Friday Five – The calm before the wars
1. Work/Programming My pet project is officially in QA. Now the waiting begins. In a meeting yesterday someone wanted to use my pet project in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used. They didn’t really like the answer of “it wasn’t scoped to be used like that.. and won’t work like that without an update”. They can not…
R1P2D25 – BACON
Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.5 Today’s change: -0.0 Net change: -1.5 VLCD day 25. All things considered I had a good day yesterday. We decided to celebrate my birthday by going out to see the movie “Brave” (sans popcorn). The movie started at 5:40 but wouldn’t get out until 8-ish so I knew by the end of…
R1P2D24 – Birthday
Last Injection Weight (LIW): 287.0 Today’s Weight: 285.5 Today’s change: -1.5 Net change: -1.5 VLCD day 24. See what I mean.. if I were sticking strictly to protocol.. then I’m pretty sure tomorrow I’d have to overeat to stay withing 2 lbs of last injection weight.. and that just feels silly. So I’m not going to do it. (Fearghus did…
R1P2D23 – Last injection day
Starting weight: 298.0 Today’s Weight: 287.0 Today’s change: -1.6 Net change: -11 VLCD day 23. I’m conflicted. First as previously mentioned today is my last injection day. Which means according to the manual that for the next 3-6 weeks I should keep my weight within +/- 2 lbs of my last injection weight (LIW). BUT that seems silly since I’m…
R1P2D22 – DOH~!
Starting weight: 298.0 Today’s Weight: 288.6 Today’s change: +5.1 Net change: -9.4 VLCD day 22. Lesson learned: Day trips are possible.. but a whole weekend with cooking ends up being a massive load of fail. Too little water.. plus too much food not on plan. I had packed all of my lunch meals.. and figured I’d be able to cook…
