Making Things Public

Perhaps TMI for most of the visitors here, but I have decided to make my FitDay.com profile public. Maybe knowing other people will see my progress will help me to actually follow through and do something about it.

The goal in February was arbitrary, it doesn’t have to be February. But you have to put something in. 3lbs a week is probably pushing it a little. (most places say 1lb a week is healthy) – but we’ll see how it goes. My starting weight is a guess too – I need a new scale.

So, here is the link!

You can see my calories consumed and all the other information from my consumption and calories expended. So, heeeeere we go!

Hitting The Low

There is supposed to be a saying about “hitting rock bottom” or “the lowest of lows” but I can’t seem to find it. Regardless, I think I’m there.

I finished NaNoWriMo, and that’s all fine and dandy. Now what? I auditioned for the role of Uncle Teddy in “Arsenic and Old Lace” – the dinner theater production at the community theater in February… I suppose that will take up some of my time between December – March… if I get the part.

My diet was broken in late September after some good progress. All it took was one rainy day to prevent me from walking and blammo.. I was out of there. I’ve bloated back again in full force, and with the holidays it is not going to be a pretty picture. I watched The Biggest Loser finale tonight on TV, flipping through to the Iowa State Basketball game here and there. What I would give to just say “Blam!” theres 50 lbs or so gone.

So yeah, the lowest of lows. Sometimes I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up twenty or so years earlier. Im not exactly “old”. Yet. I don’t think. Am I? LOL.

So yeah, this Christmas season isn’t exactly shaping up to be all fun and goodliness.

Fallen Behind

I fell behind on the blog entries during the holiday, I’ll try and “fill in” but I hate back-dating entries. sigh.

It’s another wonderful week – Happy Monday!

Cool

Dunno why, but I find this really cool.

Search Phrases

I look at my web page stats regularly – probably too much. One of the sections that always amazes me are the search phrases people type into google or yahoo, which then lead them here to troyrutter.com.

Some are understandable. For instance, I see a lot of referrals from people searching for Nora Dunn, and I took a picture of her that is in my gallery.. Another understandable one is for “Cobra Kai Costume” since I mentioned the one I made two years ago several times in my blog, and have a web site cobrakaidojo.com. I suspect now that Pat Morita died, that I will be getting more and more traffic there as well.

Some however, don’t make any sense. For instance…

I have had 16 referrals to troyrutter.com for people typing in: “i farted on santa s lap” which I guess is a song.. Don’t know why they are brought here, but hey – I welcome you. Click on the link above and you will be whisked away to Amazon.com – buy now, buy often.

Another search term is: “www.tmnt.com” – and while I used to like the little heroes in the half-shell, not sure why I am coming up for them either.

Anyway, if I find any other strange search terms, I will post them. They are kind of fun to go through.
