Odd statistics

Suddenly my blog is having mad statistics compared to what I had last year, and I don't really link it anywhere so I have no clue why. Are people really reading this?

My body is sore and I've been slacking off a little yesterday and today to heal up. But it's nice that the body's getting a workout, and that I can feel it's strain. Squatting around on the floor while building the new computer took it's toll too, so I figured I have that covered.

What's less fun though is that I appear to be losing weight, this is not really part of the plan... But I suppose it's to be expected when my weight is more water and fat than muscle.

I took a trip down memory lane the other day, going through a box that's been standing around untouched since I was 13. It contains some of my first drawings from when I decided to start drawing for real and not just whatever we did in elementary as part of the education. I sorted out some stuff, but I still have to sort through it again; a second screening in what has to go. Then comes the next step which is dealing with dealing with my shelf. Once that is done I can take care of my briefcase and put my old comics, drafts and doodles in the shelf instead, and I dunno... Return the briefcase to my grandpa?

I want to get rid of the clutter. So much clutter... and it's not so much that it takes time to sort through it as that it's exhausting just thinking about it. I'm gonna sort through the storage room as well eventually, and put the clutter I just don't have the heart to throw in there.

One nifty way of saving space that I'm putting the boxes of the computer parts in the box the case came in. I estimate I can fit the boxes for both computers in there. Handy.

That's all for today.

Building a new computer!

Today I can't brag about doing more than eating a whole chicken with noting to it and building a computer. The later brings more pride than the sooner...

It's not a tiny little thing and I built it for someone else, but it was FUN! It took me about 5h but it was well worth it. Building computers is sooo much fun!

This computer is twice the size the one I built two years ago, also in November, but also twice the power.

Now I' gonna walk my dog and go to bed.

Puppy play-date

So today we met up with this guy who has a 5 months old GSD puppy, and this lovely hangout (filled with my derp-dog doing ANYTHING to get the puppy) lasted for 4½h. I just went back inside and passed out. When I woke up my arms hurt like never before! Just woke up in time for another little pee-walk.

Now all that's left is the butt-sercise and another dog walk before I hit the hay again.

But I did learn one thing today;

Just because I lost the argument, it doesn't mean I'm wrong; it just means I'm bad at arguing.

Someone convinced my through an argument that salt in a cake can make it taste sweeter. The argument arose from me reading an American version of sticky cake, with salt in it. Upon reading it, my first reaction was "YUCK!". But I lost the argument and it seemed plausible that salt makes cakes taste sweeter. So I decided to reward myself with some sticky cake off the American recipe.

It's edible, but it's not tasty. YUCK!

My entire body hurts from the activities I've been keeping up since the 24th. 3h dog walks/day plus the exercise... No wonder, but it feels a little good if you ignore the fact that I can't muster any brain-juice or get anything done but the physical activity.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be better so that I can build my boyfriend's new computer.

T-that's all folks!

Joined the club...

Starting up exercising is kinda like having a baby; suddenly everything revolves around it. Everything you say, post and think of is workout, food and your performance. And I suppose it's exactly as uninteresting to everyone else.

I'm thinking about starting up a specific blog about it, and flood that one with what I do/don't do instead.

Right now, I think I've earned myself a nice shower, and some nommy food. I don't know if I'll make chilli or fish soup yet, but either will be delicious.

My exercising isn't about losing weight at all so I will probably still eat a lot of junk, but as long as I gain muscle on the glutes and improves my general physical condition, I'm happy.

/over and out.

Time for a new life!

Oh my, well lookie here! My old li'l blog that noone reads!

So, what's happened this last year?

Actually... Nothing. I've survived and grown fatter, that's about it.

Now; the weight is nothing much to bother with, but... I had a really shocking revelation yesterday going to the store to buy new pants. That I've become larger isn't a secret, I intentionally chose larger sizes because there are two reasons for why I need new pants:

1. My old pants don't fit.
2. The few ones that does fit, are so old they are basically falling apart.

Then I find myself in the changing-room, the pants fit without any problem. "Ok, I've moved up from a big 34 to a big 38. It's not that bad, I was thinking I'd moved up to 40-42. Now let's see how the look in the problem area; the back..." I find myself thinking and adjust the mirror so I can see my rear in the big mirror behind me.

What greeted my eyes... I knew it wasn't gonna be pretty, but I have no full body mirrors at home so I had no idea to what extent it was.

I'm not a crybaby, but I really wanted to cry in shame. Turns out my better half has been very kind and lenient on me about what I actually look like from behind...

So, I have started off my "new life"! I managed to jog my first kilometre ever last night, took my measurements and now I'm weighing myself every morning and hopefully every evening as well.

I've bought an exercise ball and I'm gonna try to construct my own little yoga-program to do daily. There's gonna be a lot of focus on the butt, but the rest of me isn't exactly fit, nor nimble. I'll let you know more about that later.
