This is great!
I’m down another pound. I really don’t know what I’m doing differently for everything to just fall off of me. It’s a great feeling. None of my clothes fit though, a constant complaint from a girl - I know. I’m just happy that they don’t fit because of them being too large and not because they’re too small.
Weight loss and water beds?
I’m happy to say that I’m down another 3 pounds, this puts my complete weight loss total at 33 pounds. I’m getting so close to my 200lb goal that I can almost taste it. I’m also tasting some turkey at the moment because for some reason I went ahead and had an early Thanksgiving, I’ve been cooking all damn day. I probably wound up doing more sweating in the kitchen then I did on my mile walk in the heat this morning. It was worth it though, plenty of left overs and I’m still working hard on maintaining portion control. It’s weird, after 22 years of eating anything you want with no real structure behind it, it’s strange to be able to stop myself from over eating. I’m happy either way, 27 more pounds to go!
Sean and I are still house hunting and now his new thing is investing in a waterbed. I think it’s a crazy idea but I’m also factoring in that the reason I loathe waterbeds is the fact that I felt I was always too fat to really sleep on one. Then I thought back to a few years ago. An ex boyfriend of mine was never comfortable in a standard bed so he invested in one of those massive king sized waterbeds and it never caused him any trouble. This guy was over 450lbs, easily. I think he’s only gotten bigger since then but when you don’t have a job, never leave the house and spend all of your time in front of a computer with food surrounding you that’s never going to change. I wish him well but at this rate he more than likely won’t be around for long.
Maybe if I can get Sean on my diet he’ll be able to lose some more weight, he’s turning into a work-out fanatic but all he’s really doing is working off that days calorie intake and not going beyond that and working out the previous 22 years worth of calorie intake with it. Time to be extra convincing!
Another five pounds gone!
In order to give people a sneak-peak of what I’ve been up to, I’ve uploaded one of the free templates I’ll be offering when I finally get around to launching the themes section. This template, when completed, will be available in all of the colors on the rainbow and more. So far I’ve completed the red, orange, yellow, green and blue templates - I’ll have the rest completed sometime over the course of the next week. The sidebar is completely widget powered. I need to alter that for my own personal usage so I’ll have my blogrolling based links up and running as soon as possible!
I did quite a bit of walking in the last few days, and since I’m cutting back on spending I’ve done a bit less eating as well. I’m down another 5 pounds which brings me 25lb weight loss down to 30. I’m only 30lbs away from dropping under the 200lb mark, a place I haven’t been since high school. ::jumps for joy::
With all of the money I’m saving on food, I’m putting some aside so I can buy some new clothes. Mine are falling off me, I’ve switched over to pants with elastic bands instead of my usual pair of jeans. I can finally say that I own a pair of fat jeans, I just can’t hold them up with pride just yet…heh.
The importance of online storage

As someone in the web design profession, I understand the importance of being able to access files even when you don’t have your personal computer with you. I use almost half of one of my six servers specifically for online storage. Unfortunately, not many people have this luxury so naturally using a company like ibackup.com would be the next best thing. For a small fee of $9.95 per month you’re given 5GB of disk space to use as storage for your files. This could be for a quick back up of files before having to reboot or even if you’re running a business and want your client to have the ability to gain access to these files via the internet but don’t personally know how to go about doing it.
The beauty of ibackup.com is you don’t need to worry about web hosting just to be able to access files from any place in the world - you can do it through them for $10 to $300 per month (depending on how much disk space you would need, naturally). You should check them out.
Busy, busy girl!

Considering how busy I’ve been for the last few weeks, something tells me that once things begin settling down, my portfolio is going to be updated with more than 50 templates. I’m working on four at the moment and I’m thankful enough to have enough creativity to the point that none of them look the same minus the Web2.0 styling on the graphics themselves.
Someone shoot me?
