So I've had my first weigh in since I started using the personal trainer and no I won't say how much I weigh, not yet at least, but I am happy to say that I've dropped 7lbs(3.18kg) since I started. So it seems its actually starting to work. Along with what I've already lost from starting to eat right, I'm really hoping that by this time next year I'll be able to put up a pic of me that I can be proud of instead of ashamed of.
Not much else is happening. I've mostly been spending my time at home or at work. The only change was Sunday when I helped throw my father his 60th surprise birthday party.
Ohhh, I'm curious to know if anyone around me is interested in trying a GURPS game at my place once or twice a month. Let me know. |

So I've been working out with the trainer a few times now. I'm sore, but each session I have been able to do more so I'm slowly improving. An hour each time though takes a lot out of me so far. Though we work on pretty much my entire body each time. I will say though that wearing ankle cuffs in front of an older gentleman telling me to do things....is.....odd. Heh, enough on that tough, we've been doing basic stuff and weight lifting exercises. I don't think he believed me at first when I told him that 50lbs (22.7kg) wasn't that much. He got a surprise when he saw that I could do that with one hand. I may not look strong, but I am. Not much else to say about it at the moment, hopefully I'll start to really show weight loss in the next few weeks. I'll let ya all know.
On another note, we've had not heat in the apartment for a few days now, super came in and looked at it, couldn't fix it so now we have to wait for the power company to comp as they have the repair contract. Earliest I could get them to come was Friday morning between 8am-2pm. So I am gonna be waiting at home all day in the cold for em. I just hope they manage to fix it on the spot as its getting colder each day outside.
Now for something that I snarked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) thaily I must say that this is probably the best explanation of what even I think of the whole Prop 8 thing. |

So I had my first session with the personal trainer last night. Had 30 minutes of talking and figuring things out plus paperwork to fill up and then 30 minutes of trial exercises to see what I can do, what levels I'm at and what equipment he needs to bring with him next time. His name is chuck and he's a pleasant older gentleman, quite gaunt but knows what he's talking about, so hush all of you with the hitting on the trainer jokes.
On a side note, seems like life didn't like me being only a lil sore and threw a car at me as well. I'm fine as is the car, he rear ended me and caused no damage to my car, his car was another story. The beauty of metal vs. plastic. It just left me a bit more sore as it was a low speed impact, stop and go traffic and he thought he could go before I did even though I was in front of him. |

OK, I know its been a while since I posted last, but I decided didn't really make sense to post till I had something good to post.
So here's the good news, I've started to lose weight and starting tonight I begin sessions with a personal trainer. My parents are covering them, guy comes to my flat, brings whatever equipment is needed and we do a one hour workout session. We're starting at 3 a week and then taper it down after a few weeks and I keep going on my own. Hopefully it'll work out that in not to long of a period I'll be half the dragon I used to be.
The only real thing that concerns me with this is my knee. Some of you have heard that my knee basically blew out about 2 months or so ago, I had to be rushed for an emergency MRI and could barely walk. Turns out I have a partially torn ACL, hypermobile patella and chrondomalcia patella. I'm gonna have to make sure the trainer knows this and doesn't do anything that'll cause the ACL to tear further, last thing I want is to have to go for surgery. I've been rehabbing it at home since I haven't found a good rehab place around me that takes my insurance and now I can even walk without my knee brace. Stairs are still an enemy and I use a cane outside but not for walking. My knee still gives out from time to time as its not up to par yet and so the cane is if it gives out so I can catch myself outside.
As for other things, not much to tell, been working and doing little things here and there, went to AC and Fur Fright. Mostly though been keeping to myself and working long hours, so nothing really new there. I do have amusing pictures of a hard drive that failed on a comp I was working on. http://www.falconeio.com/HD the first two show the magnetic dust on the inside cover the rest show where the exploded magnetic head use to be and the gouge ripped into the plate.
Uhmmm..not much else to say, we'll see, I'll try to post more often as ppl have been bugging me. |

OK, I just got a phone call from a non-fur down in florida. He had, had Bucky staying with him from Nov 1st - Dec 14th as a house boy, helping him out since he's sick. While I was on the phone with him, the florida police called me up to ask me if I know Bucky and when I've seen him and all that, confirming the validity of the other call that I was on. (Yes, I backtraced the caller ID number to the police station) Turns out he had run on them after figuring out how to open the safe, steal all that was inside and had also stolen some of their credit card numbers and gotten cards for himself. So now the cops in Florida are talking to the cops in New Jersey and want to also talk to the cops in New York once those reports are finished being filed. He got away with a few thousand in cash and also with pieces of sentimental jewelry that meant a lot to this guy. So if anyone has seen Bucky since December 14th 2007 and especially got jewelery from him, please contact Detective Randy Wilson
of the Delray police department at 561-243-7895.
Now this guy had found me cause he googled Bucky's name and all the posts ppl have repeated over and over brought mine and Q's info, otherwise we would never have known about each other. I really have to thank you all for the support we've seen so far in this situation and it has paid off in a few ways it seems.
Ohh and on a side note, this person said that Bucky had told him that he was AWOL from the Army National Guard since he didn't want to go to Iraq, but was supposedly in contact with them to try and smooth his way back in. |

I've been stuck at work since 11:00. Got called at 06:30 by the administrator who informs me that no one can call into the facility and so I have to deal with it. After waking up I made some calls to vendors and couldn't solve the issue over the phone. So I rushed to work and found that both smartjacks were showing red on the alarm lights. With this knowledge I called the phone company and got nowhere with them other than they have an issue and a possible fibre break somewhere. Now I am stuck here till they fix the issue so that I can ensure that the system works once it comes back up.
The problem is that I've discovered what actually happened finally and am not going to stay till its done, I'm outta here by 20:00. Someone sliced through one of Verizon's primary OC12's in Manhattan and since its before the switches, they can't do reroutes. So I could be here another hour or another 4 and still not have them done. I'm too tired for that. I'm going home, cya all. |
