Overall, a good starvation week :/. That Friday I took on added calories from beers at a Halloween party, but I am okay with that.

I lost a total of 5 pounds this week, for a total of 11 pounds lost in 2 weeks. So what does 11 pounds equate to? Well if I have lost pure fat, than it would look something like 44 sticks of butter smeared all over me (imagine it).

I have been exercising more than normal as well. I have ramped up to about 1 hour of intense aerobics and weight lifting every day. I even rode my bicycle to work one day. I am feeling stronger and leaner that is for certain, but waking up in the morning is harder and harder (sore and tired). Once I get going at 7:30 AM, I seem to recover my stamina by 10 AM.

I received an e-mail this afternoon with an offer to order a Chumby. Finally! I have wanted to get my hands on one of these for a while. I selected the latte colored Chumby. I think this color scheme will stay cleanest as it is a hands-on computing device. I have an idea for a cool application for this using the on-board accelerometer.


I should get mine around Nov. 7th. Take a look at even more Chumbies on Flickr.

I was watching some TV program last night and I heard them mention these to companies. A quick read of their literature and I am convinced. Check them out.

Aside from the increase in calories over the weekend, the only other tweak I need to make is that those high calorie days have all contained over 70% of my calories in the dinner meal (parties I have had to go to). If I can have a larger snack just before I workout in the afternoon I might be able to cut short my dinner binging.

Total weight lost this week: 6 pounds

I was playing a rousing game of classic Balderdash with some friend the other night when we came upon the word Flapdragon. It turns out it is an antiquated game played with burning brandy and raisins. Naturally, this got me curious.

After doing a little research, I am now contemplating starting a Flapdragon game night. Anyone interested?

I hope this means that Joe and I will be skiing together in exotic location as his Travelocity travel discount covers us >;)

These would probably work best with experimental/ambient tracks:

1. Looking through holes in the clouds from above (I see the desert)
   
   
2. From 35,000 feet I can't even make you out
   
   
3. Happy children are flying alone
   
   
4. I think your guitar might have been crushed by that guy in orange
   
   
5. You left your banana in the seat pocket
