...50 am. My dad was awake, so stayed up talking, crashed for about 3 hours, then got up again and hung out with the family. Sleep has been an increasing problem for me as of late. After 2 weeks of averaging about 4 hours a night, I finally just crashed basically all day on Sunday. Since then though, I've been back to my about 4 hours a night. It's just getting really tough as of recent to stay down...

the numbers game

... first weekend, but my weight bounced around between 157-158 for the next week and a half. On top of not going to the clinic, I worked 6 12-hour night shifts in a row and wasn't able to sleep well (averaging only about 4 hours a day, yuck). I'm sure that didn't help my efforts. Yesterday was my 24th birthday and I wanted to be a healthy weight by that day, but I didn't quite make it. This week, I...

Springfield and beyond

...striding to get it right, but at this point I'm happy if she's facing forward and not jumping off the side at me. Boing!s weave pole performance has gotten faster since the last time I timed her. She was averaging around 2.4 - 2.5 and this weekend she was between 2.1 and 2.2. On the last day she hit the weave poles too fast in JWW and smacked herself in the head with the third pole, which caused ...

RIP Whale

..., sound advice for the real world. I can shear 15 sheep an hour in a woolshed, but often my work is in a paddock, and I have to pack up and travel every four sheep or so, so I end up averaging about 6 an hour - which is not that good an hourly rate after costs. However, this is not the real world we're talking about. This is a magical fairy world full of sheep with names that you can walk up to in...

just wanted to share and a weight versus dress size goal question

i have officially lost my first 20 lbs today! (the first of many to come) it took 10 weeks..so i'm doing really well averaging 2lbs/week. this is mostly due to food portion/type control. i plan on slowly adding in exercise after the crazy holiday season is over. i'm doing weight watchers..so when i hit my 10% goal i have to come up with a long term weight goal based on the bmi chart. i have a ...

Looking at the calendar and some shipment dates for my Sandisk Sansa, I'm surprised it's the 24th of November already. Tomorrow is the last day of school until December. I've been averaging exactly 6.00 hours of sleep a weekday this month (vs. ~6.8-7.2 in junior year to April), more due to bad habits than being forced to stay up by work. I'm exploring new music again with Pandora and Last.fm, ...

SUCK IT CBS!

... first time in the network's history, Fox is projected to win the November sweeps ... and win big. Thanks to a suspenseful World Series and the network's most stable fall lineup ever, Fox is currently averaging a 3.6 adult demo rating for the month. Not only is the network expected to retain its led, but Fox projects it will close the deal by the largest November sweeps victory margin in five ...

... prosperous in Latin America due to fiscal discipline and the profound free-market reforms of the past 30 years. But Chile's explosive, Asian-style growth of the 1990s has given way to expansion averaging just 3.5% annually this decade. And despite efforts to diversify, volatile copper earnings continue to account for more than half of total exports. So Chile's leaders are seeking to reduce that ...

Overdue Update

... 26th. It's a high in protein, low fat and low carbs mix with both High Nutritional (protein) supplement drinks, and a variety of other dietary supplements. I've lost 17.5 pounds in 29 days. I'm averaging 4.37 pounds a week over this time frame and hope to reach my goal of losing 118.5 pounds in about 27 weeks total (including the weeks already in). This program guarantees 2 to 5 pounds a week, so...

For averaging 13 points and seven rebounds against Loyola Marymount and New Mexico State, Ally Wade, one of the blondes at Long Beach State, was named Big West player of the week. Wait a second, lemme explain. Last season I was talking to LBSU coach Mary Hegarty, and I wanted to ask about Wade or Courtney Jacob, but I'd forgotten which was which, so I said, "uh… one of the blondes… one's a ...
