What am I doing?

20-May-12

Pain is my dieting kryptonite. I’m not over eating per se, but I’m definitely not caring at all. And my goal number, if you recall, was so close! And yet so far away. As part of my recuperation, I need to do physical therapy – I have lost sensation in my right foot, indicating that [...]

It’s true.

From Indexed, by Jessica Hagy (filed in my reader as a daily read). There were times I feel like I was so caustic to people that I care about that it was embarrassing. I’m trying (and continue to try) to not be so cynical or sarcastic. I definitely don’t want to be the guy at [...]

The question was

…how to correlate SpO2 values. My answer: The two wavelengths act to correlate the reading. A = l (e1c1 + e2c2 + …. + eycy), where A is absorbence, e is molar absorption (i.e. extinction coefficient, which is a known value at purity, e.g. oxyhemoglobin), c is the concentration, l is the path length. There’s [...]

It’s your spine, man

This is my first day of being percocet and prednisone free. However, the latter was by accident. Apparently (according to the lawyer of the house) I can’t claim lost sleep as damages. Anyway, Wednesday morning I woke up with back pain. This isn’t atypical (which should’ve been a warning bell, of course) and I did [...]

No more Dexter. With the panel’s opacity turned on, it’s a pleasant looking desktop to be greeted by.

Baltimore

26-Apr-12

I‘m beginning to hate the city of Baltimore. To be fair, it’s more like I hate the government of Baltimore. I think I’m going to troll them hard today. What’s the worst they can do, delay my application? They’ve been sitting on it for 70 days!

Miscellany #74

20-Apr-12

After an amazing birthday weekend in which I consumed a lot of food, I did not go back to my diet. Shocking, right? After all that hard work? On Sunday, I decided to re-arrange our bedroom – by myself. So I moved the bed, frame, dresser, and all the other furniture all while watching Isaac. [...]

100%

13-Apr-12

I ended up losing eight pounds, which is right on track for healthy loss. 8.5 would’ve been a stretch, so I’m happy with the result. With any luck, I will be past my goal by next weekend. I look smaller, but not significantly different I don’t think. This is by virtue of doing cardio exclusively, [...]

Home stretch! I hit a massive pothole that nearly derailed the whole thing. It was the lowest of lows. I got paranoid and angry, and Lisa patiently pulled me out. I don’t think I’m going to make my target, but according to LoseIt I will by the 17th, which isn’t bad. CD=Catabolism Day, which was [...]
