been a good weekend so far. friday was pretty average, i think. i honestly don't remember what i ate... for saturday, i had some eggs in the morning and brought the parent's and younger sister over and made some dinner. we had fruit salad (just fruit. mangoes, pineapples, apples, and oranges), sauteed asparagus (pepper, garlic, and olive oil), and top sirloin. SOOOOO good workout, did a couple hours of weeding on saturday and nothing on friday. does anyone else count weeding to be a workout? i do because i get sore and start sweating a lot... but if no one else does, i won't either... just want some input on that

pretty normal day yesterday. breakfast was eggbeaters and grapefruit. lunch was flank steak and more grapefruit. for dinner, i had a lean burger patty with some broccoli. workout was a half an hour run around the neighborhood again. no rain this time. for the weigh in, last week i weighed in at 249 i believe. i weighed in this morning and dropped 5.7lbs and am down to 243.3

breakfast yesterday was the normal eggbeaters and grapefruit. for lunch, i had some rotisserie chicken (without skin) and corn. dinner was a nice steak with some baked asparagus. really good workout was a quick 25 minute run around my neighborhood while raining. i actually kind of like running in the rain. reminds me of when i was a kid playing soccer.

not a good day yesterday... forgot my wallet at home and couldn't get any food until dinner... it's really kind of amazing how much energy you won't have if you haven't eaten food all day... for dinner though, i had a ceaser salad wrap with light dressing and a spinach wrap. pretty good... no workout though...

weekend wasn't as bad! i don't really remember what i had for food on friday and saturday but sunday and monday were pretty good. sunday, for lunch i had these strips of some steak... not sure exactly what kind it was though because someone else ordered it for me for dinner, it was the normal chicken and veggies. monday, i missed breakfast like i did on sunday (seriously though, home is the worst place for me to remember to eat breakfast) but for lunch i had some of the leftover chicken from the previous night. dinner, ok. i don't remember if i ate dinner or not... if i do, i'll just edit it in... anyways, workout... it was kind of a pseudo workout this weekend. it was pretty nice outside and our backyard is overgrown with weeds... (no lawn yet, just straight up weeds) so i went and pulled a bunch of weeds for about an hour and a half on sunday and then on monday, spread some weed killer and used one of those garden rakes to try to get out a bunch of the rocks... i'm SORE! back, legs and arms... so i'm counting those two...

thanks again for the info guys. i had one question, i'm still planning on going back and taking classes but i was wondering if ya'll had some good resources that you used to help learn or keep up with the languages. the next class i'm planning on taking is a Java class and that's not until June. so i wanted to get a little bit of a head start. thanks again!

hrm... i really have to go check this out.. i've heard people talk about this a LOT and have never seen it... anyways, Welcome!

i would have to agree with the previous two posters. it's pretty sick.

welcome to the Rebellion, Dan! Good luck on turning your life around! here's a great place to start because everyone is so supportive!

the vast majority of my time (99% i would say) is spent on my computer. the rest of the time is on the xbox 360.

awesome! thanks a bunch for the info! i was thinking the exact same thing you wrote, Titsworth, about becoming well-rounded and learning many languages because this is something that i do think i want to do for a career and anything that will help me have success there is worth doing and doing well. honestly, i had no idea about the scripts that you posted but i'll definitely have to look into them. SirKerrald, let me know how you enjoy C. that was another one of the many languages i was looking at too. Thanks a lot for your two guy's input!

OK! so for all of you who do some type of programming, what style do you mainly work with/enjoy? i've been working on HTML, XHTML, and CSS and have been enjoying it a lot but i'm wondering what other people like. i'm not 100% sure i want to do web programming for my career and want to kinda feel other languages. and yes, i definitely think that i do want to go into programming of some sort for a job. I love looking at the code and just messing around with it to make things better. the code just looks cool in my opinion! i've been looking at javascript and java. i'm not completely sure what kind of programming i want to do though... So, any thoughts on different languages is much appreciated! Thanks!

my week was pretty bad... had a hard time actually getting out and doing the workouts this week... in fact, the last two days were skipped... i've also been forgetting to post, which doesn't help any... i'm down a pound from last week when i weighed in on saturday (woke up late for work on friday so didn't have enough time to weigh)... but at least it's a pound...

lol! i love that comic. i wonder how many people got sick at pax east a few weeks ago...

i'm not going to be going this year. i've been going the past two years and had a blast... just be careful with those intel cards they have... i blame me getting swine flu on those cards... but yeah. definitely a lot of fun. if you have a chance, go to the inevitable Wil Wheaton panel. he is freaking hilarious! but it's definitely a great experience
