I should not have stepped on the scale today. It's been I while and I have been getting lazy. I need to correct that. I am going to try to get back to being able to run 3 miles at a time. I think for now that will be my only goal. I think having the little coffee shopright around the corner from my desk is not having a positive effect on the health front. I will try to come up with some reasonable goals for my self this weekend.

Also in case it wasn't clear I think I'll start blogging again as that seemed to keep me motivated and progressing. The Eee pc and bluetooth will make that easier as well.

Log time no blog! Did the Bike today felt good my ankle was stiff though. Not sure why.

I have a new Job too! I am going to be a System Analyst at a rather large insurance company. The position sounded interesting and the opportunity is excellent. It's bittersweet to be leaving the uni but over all I think it is the right move for me at this point. I will probably blog more about this at some future date.

Still doing level 4. Although today my heart rate was not getting up as high as I would like. It may be time to kick it back up to 5.

It was hard to get through today. I managed it but it was not fun. But hey, it's Friday and there is cold beer in the fridge!

Did level 4 again today. Felt pretty good. Found out I'm going to miss my regular thursday sushi lunch. Not sure what I'm going to do for lunch now.

Got back on the stepper today, decided it might be good to go back down to level 4. It was not bad. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

Having a frustrating time at work the last couple days. apache's commons-http library is not behaving well for us. It is used by spring-web services to call a web service. Our issue lies in that the http request for the call does not include a charset header in the content-type. This causes the CICS transaction server to choke. The frustrating thing is that this only happens on the server. On our workstations the charset is passed as expected. On the server not so much. This has led me to believe that there is a difference in the way the library behaves on linux vs windows. Which is odd since outside of base OS the setups are identical. This is really quite frustrating.

My Legs were still a bit stiff this morning so I did the bike. My legs are feeling much better. Father's day was wonderfull! I got a new hat and some shirts. I smoked a brisket and made BBQ sauce to accompany. It was delicious. The inlaws came up and we all had a good time. I like nice weekends like that.

Back is still stiff, but feeling better. I am going to do the stepper in the morning and see how that goes. I hope to get the other grass out this weekend then the weeding should be mostly done!

It was a good weekend. Played with Ruby, dug in the yard, made lamb chops. My back will definitely be paying for the digging though.

Not sure if it's the weather or not but I was all stiff and congested this morning. Was definitely not up for the stepper. Walked on the treadmill instead.
