Another morning, a new me. Started off the day eating half of a kolchie and an apple fritter. Better than last week but since Fridays seem to be Donut day for the kids, I take what I can get.

I feel pretty good today, I need to go around the house and open some windows so it is not so dark while I work. Getting sun really makes me feel better.

Daddy/daughter dance at our church is tonight, I will get some pics up tonight so you can see how big my daughter is. We went last year it was pretty fun, but this year we also have soccer the same night, so we will have a game first then run and change to get to the dance.

Tomorrow we will get a sitter and Tiffany and I will be going out for a date. It has been awhile since we have gone out, so it will be nice.

A new me

Well, going to try and get my blog going again. In helping with my better fitness and health, I am going to start using this blog site to start a journal. Some of the things that I am going to write daily are:

Today's weight:
Sleep hours last night:
Number of fruits and vegetables today:
Type of physical exercise and # of minutes:
One thing that motivates me today:
On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being terrible and 10 being the best, rate your:

Quality of sleep
Mood
Anxiety
Attention
Energy
Memory
Impulse control

I am also going to use this site to write what I had to eat with photos. I have to know what to eat and know what I am eating to become a healther person. I have lost about 15 pounds over the last 6 weeks, now I am on to loosing more and eating healther for the rest of my life.

Weekend WoW

Well, back to work and boy the week started off with a bang. I ended up waking up right around 8:00 because my alarm on my phone did not go off. Not sure why it did not, but it did not. I think it had something to do with the time change and my phone did not work right because of it. Finally got to work and the kids to school though.

The weekend was pretty good, not much went on. Tried to keep it simple, there is a lot around the house that I need to do, but have not had a chance to do. Some things that I want to get done around the house this year are:

1. Get surround sound speakers setup.
2. Redo the laundry room (add pantry and cabinets and maybe a laundry sink)
3. Add some landscaping to the backyard and possibly add a walkway down the side of the house.
4. Paint the living room.
5. Clean the carpets.

That is a pretty good list for now. I need to get it written up and tacked somewhere so we can get it done. Hopefully once we I get my truck paid off I can get some money to get some of these things done.

Weekend

Well the weekend is now over and I am back at work. I went home and tried to help my mother though a few things that she is going through but it did not work out so well, so now I am back at home and at work.

After work today I am headed up to North Little Rock to drop off some stuff for a consignment sale that my wife is putting stuff in. I have to run home and put together Masons old crib so we can sell it. If the weather holds off I might try and go jogging later tonight, don't know though. I really want to get back into something.

I have found a new love for coffee. It seems that it really gets me going in the morning and this morning I was dragging pretty badly but once I got that cup of coffee I was ready to go. I am going to look into a decent coffee maker because the stuff that they have at work, is pretty bad.

Till again..

Kids room

Back to work today. Had my yearly review and all is good, but other than that not much happened today. The kids seemed to be in a weird mood today. Neither one of them wanted to behave. Not sure what was the reason for that. Will be a busy week with Soccer practice tomorrow, game on Friday and birthday party on Saturday.

We got Megan some new furniture a few weeks ago and finally got it setup over the weekend. Mason got the old furniture and Megan got some new stuff that hopefully she will be able to go into. Mason and Megan both seem to enjoy their new/newish stuff.

What a week.

Well, it is the weekend finally. I have to work this weekend installing servers into the new datacetner, yay for me. the kids are getting shipped off to the in-laws for the weekend, so even if I work into the early morning on Sunday, I should have a nice morning to sleep it off.

I have found a new way for ppl to keep up with what is going on with me. Check it out:
http://flavors.me/opie . It is a cool and easy way to create a home portal for yourself. I like it and think it is a very cool idea.

Have a good weekend, I know i will try.

Slacking

Well, I have been slacking lately. Not working out much. Once I get motivated I will get back at it, and usually when the weather turns better I feel like getting outside to getting some exercise.

Starting to study for my MCITP-EA. For the non technical person, that would be the enterprise administrator for Microsoft products. I downloaded a few training videos and will get heavy into studying this year. I really want to get that certification. To pass this certification, I will have to take the following test.
