Using the Dukan Diet and P90 (no X) for exercise.

Starting stats. 5’7”, 205lbs. snug 38 inch waist.

Weight lose time

Well, I finally had enough. No more procrastinating on getting fit and losing weight.

I have been doing Power 90 (not P90X) off and on for awhile but never really changed my diet. This equals no real change. I recently read The “The Dukan Diet” by Dr. Pierre Dukan. I like his very structured approach. [...]

Reading challenges update

I have been a bit of a slacker when it comes to posting my book reading. Check my LibraryThing page for current and past books for 2011. I have been keeping LibraryThing up-to-date.

iPod Nano 5th gen

I have been thinking about getting a refurbished iPod Nano 5th gen from the Apple Store. They were plentiful before last Christmas. Now they are hard to find, which makes sense since it is a previous model. I check the Apple Store periodically for availability on refurbished iPods.

Well, this morning, to my surprise, the [...]

Book reading for 2011

I am still reading books working toward my reading challenges. Check Books tab or Read in 2011 sub tab for more info. I have been out-of-town off and on since last Christmas so I am getting behind on writing the actual book reviews. I will work on getting caught up by end of the month. [...]

K2 WordPress theme

I have used the K2 WordPress theme since around version 0.9 with WordPress 1.5. I usually try to use the most current nightly version. Occasionally, I found the nightly versions did’t work well immediately with whatever WordPress version was current at the time of the K2 nightly release but with dedication from the K2 developers [...]
