Tomorrow is the Day

Tomorrow, my little bro Simon comes home from his mission!!! I can't believe that he has been gone for two years already. I am real excited to see him. It's gonna be weird for a bit, but it'll be good to have him home!

Less than a week

Well, the countdown is almost to an end. My little brother Simon will be home from his mission in less than a week. I AM SO EXCITED!!! It'll be nice to see him again since he has been gone for 2 years, serving a mission in San Bernardino. I am hoping to help him get a job too at ADP where I work. We shall see. I'll just be excited to hang out with him again. Woo hoo!

New Video Card

Well today I got spoiled. I got a new video card for my computer. The nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS. Probably not the best one on the market, but it's pretty darn good. I can play all my games at the highest resolution, and the games flow so nice. I'll tell ya, it makes such a difference to play a game the way it's supposed to be. Way awesome!

Losing Weight - Contest Results

I did it. I won. Just barely. In one month, I was able to lose just over 11 lbs. Not too shabby. I have now officially lost about 21 lbs since May. I lost 3.77% of my body weight, while one coworker, came close to that by losing 3.43%, or something like that. All I know is that I won, and I am happy about that. Now I just need to take this new found motivation, and keep it going for the next years...or I should say my whole life. I don't want to stop trying live healthier. I set up a spreadsheet for me to track my weight. The goal is 2 lbs a week, which will put me at 258 by New Years. If I can reach that goal, I will have lost just under 70lbs this year. I will be a happy man... We shall see if the 2 lbs a week is a reasonable goal during the next few months. We are starting another contest tomorrow, which is a Monday. Hopefully we can get plenty of people to join us this time, as people are starting to drop out of our contest. Either way, I am going to continue to try and eat less, and to keep working out.

Losing weight - NOW!!

Tomorrow is the weigh in day for our weight loss contest. I am now going to spend the rest of the evening trying to lose as much weight as I can, so that I can win the $125 prize money...

Good luck to me!

I'll have to report on the happenings of our contest after it's over tomorrow.

Random Ramblings of the Day

Well, I don't have an actual subject to blog about to day, so I thought I would ramble on for a bit. Today I spent mostly at work, and then Amy and I ran to Sam's Club to grab some groceries and a cheap hotdog for dinner. Yum! Then I spent the rest of the evening watching my brother Sam at football practice. He is trying out for quarterback this year. He played wide receiver last year, but really seems to like the new position. He is doing well, and I enjoy watching him play. Games start August 25th, and I am way excited. I have created a page on my website for YouTube videos and pictures that I take of his games. I have two videos now. http://www.stewee.com/jordanfootball.htm . Only two more weeks until Simon comes home from his mission in California. I am excited to see him, as it's been two years already since he left. I am doing good still with my weight loss. I just made a spreadsheet to track my weight over the next year, and by next April, I hope to have lost 70lbs. That's 2lbs a week for the next few months. I hope to keep it up. Well my mind is blank, so I think i'll end here for the day...

Losing the weight

Well, it's good to say that I am finally making some progress with my weightloss goals. I am really excited. When I started to lose weight I was at a whoping 322 lbs. Today after coming home from the gym, I weighed a nifty 298. I was very happy to pass the 300 mark. I really need to stop weighing myself everyday, but I can't help it. My goal for 2007 is to weigh 250-260 by Christmas time. I am hoping to stick with my diet (better eating) and keep working out.

Battlefield 2142

Well it's about 10:20-ish. I just finished a few good solid hours of BF2142. I was proud to pass the 300 unique dog tags mark. Woo hoo. I know no one really cares. But I still think it's cool.

Blog - Started Over

Well, my blog was giving me problems, so I needed to delete the old one. Look for updates shortly...
