Hello everyone,
Day two of the new year, and it was very COLD! I didn't do anything very exciting today- I got a sweater for Christmas that I had to exchange, and I ended up with a wire bucket (for magazines) and a picture frame for the living room. So it wasn't a bad exchange in the end. I also went shopping at a few other places, and ended up at home watching some Netflix before writing this blog.
Day 1 Weigh-in: 274.6 lbs.
Goal: 225 lbs.
That is my weigh-in for Day 1. I will be weighing in each Friday and tracking my lbs. lost on here. No- this won't turn into a blog completely dedicated to dieting and fitness (I have a life... I promise!) But every Friday I will do a quick little blurb on my weight loss journey.
Now, I know I promised a review on my Nike+ shoes yesterday, but since I was unaware of the gym being closed today I wasn't able to go and try them out. I did however find a great app to help me lose weight, it's called My Fitness Pal. So far it's pretty great! You just have to answer a few questions about yourself and your lifestyle, and it will calculate your daily caloric intake, track your exercise and your weigh-ins. You can also add friends on there as well, so it's kind of like a weight loss Facebook! And did I mention the best part? IT'S FREE! I will be working out tomorrow and I have my iPod playlist all set up (too bad I don't have any Van Halen yet).
So keep warm outside folks, and drive safe, this year is off to a cold start!
Until next time-

The Four Seasons
Hello everyone,
Today was a very busy day. I had a presentation in the evening and decided to put off everything until four hours before class. It was over floor coverings in a commercial space, and I chose to do a child care facility. Modular floor tiles are easy enough, so it all worked out. However, I ruined my favorite pair of Nike shorts in the process. I was gluing down a carpet sample onto my board, and SPLAT! it landed right on my thigh. I threw them in the washing machine, but to no avail.
Not to fear, my project was a success.
Here are a couple photos of the sample closet for you all to enjoy. And a photo of my Saumur 35 sitting atop some sample books.
The semester ends next week, and I can't be happier. I think next Friday I will be a much happier man.
However, I did watch a great movie on Netflix while I worked on my project. "The Four Seasons" from 1981. It has Carol Burnett, Alan Alda- and Francis McDormand!!!! She is among my top favorite actresses. I went to see "Friends with Money" back in 2006, and I loved her in it. She's great.
About the movie:
It truly was a great film, and for having been shot in 1981, I feel as though it is still very relevant to current day issues regarding friends and loved ones. And Carol Burnett is always a pleasure to watch. Another great part about this movie, is the soundtrack. It features Vivaldi's Four Seasons. So that was an added bonus for me since I love those concertos. And for you vintage Dooney and Bourke lovers- Francis McDormand carries a green toggle bag through the second half of the film.
All-in-all today wasn't a bad day. I don't have my film class tomorrow, or work, so it will be relatively short. I have an AutoCad project I need to finish up for next week....
Until next time-

About the movie:
Three middle-aged wealthy couples take vacations together in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Along the way we are treated to mid-life, marital, parental and other crises.
