Yard Work Sucks

My step son and I went out to the long neglected back yard and did some yard work.

Yard work sucks.

Seeing as no one can see the back yard unless they are stalking through the woods, I tend to let the leaves go and only worry about the grass getting too long. That means the wind blows the leaves against the house and they just stay there. Today we started the chore of tackling that particular pain in the scrotum. We got a lot of it done, but I have to go back out tomorrow.

Yard work sucks.

Weight Watchers Math

Okay, so now that I have a value to play with for this year’s weight watchers run I can do a little math to bring together last year’s account with this year’s.

(My starting weight on 8/30/14) = X
(My starting weight on 4/11/15) = Y

X-Y=15.4

As stated in the previous post, my weight loss so far in this year’s account is 9.6 pounds. Add that to the total prior to 4/11/15 to get the total weight loss so far, given that my weight on 8/30/14 was far and away the heaviest I’ve ever been.

15.4 + 9.6 = 25

I have lost 25 pounds since August 30, 2014. Which also means I’ve gained 12.6 since hitting my peak of 37.6 pounds lost on December 13, 2014. So… yeah… let’s just focus on the new account and the 9.6 pounds. That is the healthier way to look at this.

Although, there is no way in hell I’m going to be able to just forget about that 15.4 left over from last year.

Math is fun.

The First Week Ends

Well, we are one week into the weight watchers wagon.  I did all right.  Very little snacking, and almost all of it was what they call power foods.  Portion sizes were WAY down and few if any questionable eating choices were made.  Additionally, I only had caffeine once this week and that was only because the building I was working in didn’t have a water fountain.  How cool is that?  Zzzzzzz zzzzzzz

My week one weigh in happens within the next hour.  Wish me and my beloved wife luck!

Post Formats

Standard format posts won’t full screen, but image format posts will. Looks like it will only take one image in a post though. Can I use two images in an image post? What about Gallery posts?

Nope, one per post for image and gallery looks exactly like standard. At least when pulling images from the web. It’s probably different for images uploaded to the wordpress.com account.

Oh well. My kingdom for full screen. Ello does it. Medium does it. What the hell is wordpress.com’s problem?
