Day 153 of 1000 The GaugeCam team met with Tom D. at NCSU yesterday to try to figure out how to commercialize our idea.  We had a pretty good brainstorming session.  All of us left the meeting with something to … Continue reading →

Day 152 of 1000 Kelly is drawing again!  You can see it all here.  This makes me happy.  She is getting killed at school so we finally decided she did not have time to do a Betty Blonde comic strip … Continue reading →

Day 151 of 1000 (207.3 lbs) We are all driving a LOT these days.  I am working at least two days per week in Charlotte with some additional driving around the Carolinas and Virginia.  Lorena and Christian drive about forty … Continue reading →

Day 150 of 1000 A good buddy of mine who was hugely influential in my loving Mexico and Spanish so much is thinking about blogging about a big trip.  That is a FABULOUS idea.  It is especially fabulous right now … Continue reading →

Not much else to say.

Day 149 of 1000 (209.8 lbs.) Note the weight!!!  I thought I was going to get killed, but I am doing OK.  The big news, though, is that Christian has started blogging again at his website Nerdhow.com (Nerdhow.net also works) … Continue reading →

Day 147 of 1000 I got into a big discussion with a good friend about sports this weekend.  I was a sports fanatic until I went to college.  In college, I was a Judo fanatic, but started to lose my … Continue reading →

Day 146 of 1000 I have worked in my new job for a month now.  It is (and will be) a crazy life for the next few months.  We live a three hour drive from the main office, so I … Continue reading →

Day 136 of 1000 (210.7 lbs.) I was dreading getting on the scale again this morning, but I think my battle with the flu might have helped me a little.  Woo-hoo.  I made it through the holiday season and am … Continue reading →

Day 132 of 1000 It seems right to worship God on Sunday morning as the first act of 2012.

We win.

Day 130 of 1000. (Not weighing until January 5) Count ‘em. Not one but two driver’s licenses to play havoc with our insurance bill and college savings plan.

Day 126 of 1000 (212.2 lbs.) Christian and I went down to the Hill Library at NCSU while everyone else went out to what is arguably the busiest day of the year at the mall.  Why anyone would do that … Continue reading →

Day 125 of 1000 (212.2 lbs.) I cannot believe that I weigh less today than I did yesterday.  We had TONS of good food sitting around all day including pizza and candy.  It must be the salad and the rigorous … Continue reading →

Lauro and Conchita work on our annual holiday puzzle… While Lorena, Kelly, and Christian make chocolate pretzels for meeting!

Day 124 of 1000 (no scale, but will weigh and post when I return home – 212.5 lbs.  Ouch but better than I thought) Today, the kids and I will go shopping, just the three of us.  It should be … Continue reading →

Day 123 of 1000 (Blew it big time on Filipino food – it would have been ungracious not to!  I will weigh again tomorrow) Our very, very good friends May G. (who works in China), Mary Lou G., and their … Continue reading →

Day 121 of 1000 (no scale, OK but not as good as yesterday) Man, this shaming thing to get myself to lose weight is a GOOD thing.  I actually think of the fact that I am going to have to … Continue reading →

Day 120 of 1000 (no scale, but doing good!) I am over here in Charlotte again with my first trip to visit a customer on the schedule today.  It is a great little problem–pretty easy to solve, but pretty hard … Continue reading →
