Into The Wild Blue Yonder

Bright and early tomorrow morning, Aaron and I will be driving up to the Detroit airport and flying out to Hawaii. Don’t expect to hear much from me for the next week or so (not like I’ve exactly been the prolific blogger of late). I may post occasional updates to my Twitter from Aaron’s Nintendo DS (since our phone is incompatible with Twitter — damn Tracfone), so keep an eye on my Twitter page.

Expect us back in a little over a week (factoring in recovery from jet-lag) with photos and stories and video and a great tan.

Aloha!

Japan Trip, Day 3, Part 2: Meguro, continued

I seriously doubt I’m going to get through blogging the remainder of our Japan trip in the next few days. We’ll see, though.

When we last left off, we had just finished walking through the Meguro Parasitological Museum. Considering that it was free, and that we got to see elephantitis of the nuts, we felt it had been worth our time.

As we made our way back to the subway station, we saw that the city was finally awake and alive, unlike when we’d first arrived. Sure, salarymen and women had been crowding the crosswalks on their way to work, but no restaurants or retail stores had been open yet…

weight loss

Spring Challenge, Week #6

I know it seems like weight loss updates are all I’ve been posting lately; at least, it does to me. I’ve been spending more time playing Culdcept Saga and figuring out some blog coding tweaks than sitting down and blogging, so I haven’t really been posting any substantive blog entries of late. I wish I could promise that will change… but I can reliably promise no such thing. I can but try.

At any rate, I’m back on the decline! Tuesday’s WW weigh-in had me down 2.4 pounds from last week, and today’s Spring Challenge weigh-in had me down 1.5 pounds from my spring starting weight. Any way you look at it, it’s good news.

BUT. Next week starts my vacation.

Am I taking a vacation from healthy eating and exercise? Not entirely. I’m planning to continue tracking my food until the day we leave for Hawaii, and begin tracking again the day we return (or once the jet lag subsides). While I’m in Hawaii, I’m going to stick to reasonable eating habits: not stuffing myself overfull, not going completely ballistic on booze and sweets, and definitely staying active. We’ll be in Hawaii, for gods sakes! Beautiful weather, all the time. Swimming, walking — I might even join the local Aikido club for an hour’s romp.

I honestly don’t expect to gain much (if any) weight during those seven days. That’s the plan, anyway.
