I finally got around to updating to Wordpress 2.5.  I was hesistant at first because I’m using it on a few of my other domains and I really don’t like it very much at all.  But since there are a lot of security fixes with it, I figured it was worth putting in the effort so I logged into my control panel and went through with the automatic upgrade.  While I was initially against using Fantastico on my servers, I’m kind of happy that it’s there now.  It takes a lot of stress off me for having to do manual upgrades for clients.  I can point them into the direction of their control panel and the rest is history.

I went out tonight to just have some alone time.  I wondered into Dollar Tree and landed some great deals on some items I use regularly.  I picked up a few boxes of tissues (2 for $1) and I loaded up on some carpet fresh too.  I also am in a decorating mood so I bought to small mirrors to hang up above the bed, I’m going to throw a picture up in between them and that will add some visual interest to the room.  The walls are so bland right now, it’s just a blue-grey wall color that’s got quite a few holes because the room I’m in used to be Sean’s office.  So when he took the shelves out of there he kind of just left the holes.  One of these days I’m going to get in there and fill in the holes, throw some paint over the spackle and then hang a few things up.  The rest is history really.  It’ll give me something to do, that always counts for something - right?

I’m still doing pretty well on my diet, I’m not losing that much weight anymore but I think I’ve hit the point where it’s getting harder to lose weight.  I did cheat one night but I don’t think a small slice of cake would really stop me from losing weight over the course of the next few weeks considering I burned off those calories that night at the gym.  I didn’t hit a brick wall - per say - but I have hit a wall and I need to figure out how to change things up a bit.

I’ve been looking into Gillian McKeith Detox Vegetarian Diet, where for 8 weeks you only eat vegetables and then slowly reintroduce good proteins such as chicken and fish.  I can’t do the fish aspect of things, I have a horrible allergy to it.  But I think the detox would work out pretty well.  I’ll pick up her book eventually, right now I really can’t afford it.  But, I already have a good balance of fruits, vegetables and whole grains as well as fiber in my diet, but her “detox diet” is nothing but all natural organic living.  It’s an idea that I threw Sean’s way but I think he’d only jump on board when it comes time to introduce grilled chicken salad into the mix.  I also don’t have the best of storage in the kitchen to house all of these veggies so I may hold off on it until after Sean and I have our own place.

For now I’ll stick to what I’m doing, I’ll just work out a bit more and introduce a 5th “meal” to my day to jump start my metabolism a little.  I typically have breakfast, a piece of fruit before lunch, a small lunch, another piece of fruit and then dinner.  Maybe if I introduce another slice of fruit into the day (probably as a dessert) I should be able to jump things up a bit more.

Worth a shot, right?
