This is a sure way to get Obama re-elected in 2012. Nominate this guy. He can pull in a good 30% of the vote.

Well it’s been a week since my last diet post. I’m down 5 lbs in a week with only one day of any real exercise. (an 18 mile bicycle ride) The Lost It! app for the iPhone is awesome. Right now it has determined that I need to eat less than 2160 calories per day in order to lose 2 lbs per week. Eating 2160 calories is like not being on a diet at all. ( Of course this number will have to go down as I lose more weight). It’s 5pm and I’ve eaten 720 calories today and I’m not hungry at all. I’ve eaten three small meals and had some coffee.

Alright then, I’m a week in and still doing well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I’ve been out of work sick for the last couple of days with a cold, flu or whatever. It actually started on Saturday so I got to be sick over the weekend too.

Today I started on what’s called the Hacker’s Diet. It’s an engineering approach to dieting written by the guy who started AutoDesk. It’s a little old (1991 or so) but the book is free. Basically eat less than what you need to maintain your weight. I’m using a program on my iPhone called Lose It that helps you track how many calories you’ve eaten and how many calories you’ve budgeted per day. One of the major points that the Hacker’s diet makes is that you should pay attention to a moving average of your weight instead of what you weigh day-to-day. This makes a lot of sense to me.

The other thing I’m doing is making sure that I have an accurate calorie count for everything that I eat. Since a two or three hundred calorie difference per day can seriously add up, if I don’t know how many calories are in something, I find something else to eat.

Hopefully this will work better than the other diets I’ve tried.

If there are frequent updates on this blog about the diet that will mean I’m doing well. If you never hear about it again, that means it didn’t work. We’ll see.

I’ve moved all of my posts that show bicycle or motorcycle track data to the ‘maps’ category. You can see the maps by clicking on the maps menu item at the top of the page. I expect to be putting up quite a few of these and I don’t want the blog becoming a big collection of maps.

I saw this car a while back and thought it was interesting because it obviously doesn’t conform to the idea of a stereotypical Prius driver.

RIP Farrah Fawcett. I had this poster above my bed when I was 12 – 13. I pretty sure every boy my age did at the time.

Olivia Munn - Not nearly naked enough

Damn it! I was crushed this morning when I learned that although Olivia Munn is going to be on the cover of Playboy, she’s not going to be posing nude. There should be a law or something. I mean seriously WTF. What the Fuck!

Look, Playboy’s whole purpose in this universe is to show nekkid women. Not almost nekkid. Nekkid. No clothes. Boobies, butts and bush. If I want to see almost nekkid, I can just buy cosmo or TV Guide.

I don’t blame Oliva Munn. Good for her. Playboy on the other hand should have standards. Nekkid or not on the cover.

As Taggert said in Blazzing Saddles, “I am depressed.”. I guess this means I can forget about seeing her in Gang Bang Girl 52.
