Images of my weight loss journey
Before
While i am still working on weight loss. This is what i look like now
The weight loss journy continues
Today I hit an important mile stone on my weight lost journy. Today I hit 154 pounds, why is this number an important one, it is because given my hight of 5 foot 6, that puts me at a BMI of 24.9, or stated otherwise I am no longer medicly over weight now, I hit the normal weight for my hight. My goal is still 125 pounds so I have 29 more pounds to go. But I am no longer over weight medicly. It been a long journy so far, as I started out at 300 pounds. So to date I have lost 146 pounds.
Tired of the incompantancy of bge
Well last night we had the monthy power failer from bge, I am so tired of the constant power failures. Yet another device of mine has been damaged beause of it. I call and complain constantly about the constant power failures yet they don’t seem to care one bit. I hate that I live in a region that has power worse then most 3rd world nations.
Last week work sent me to training for Angular
First about a month ago where I work sent me to training for React, at that time after class I wrote up a a web site for my streaming stuff. While I did get it up, I was not fully happy with it, I don’t like the language of React it felt clunky and I don’t like how you have to put the HTML code inside the ES code area. Well last week they sent me to training in Angular. One thing I really liked was that the HTML and ES code are split between the files, so the code does not get ugly. So I fully rewrote the site in Angular. True there is more code then the React version, it a lot cleaner looking and more readable. And it feels it will be easier to update and implent more features for the site in the future, and it will be easy to add it to the site.
While I still prefure a language in the C family, between React and Angular I much more prefur Angular over React.
Weight lost journy continues
Well as of today, I weighed in at 175 pounds, so as of today I have lost 125 pounds in this indever. I still have 21 pounds till I reach my goal. I will also say medicly once I loss another 25 pounds I will TECHNICLY no longer be over weight (according to the NIH for the US I should be between 114 to 154 pounds to be a healthy weight. I am only 5 foot 6 inch.)
Yesterday I tried on a pair of 36″ waist pants and while they were a bit tight, they did fit.
The weight lost journy continues
Well as of Friday I weighted in at 185 pounds, and being at 5’6″ I can finally say I am no longer obese. I am still over weight, acourding to the charts I will be overweight till I hit 154 pounds. My goal is still 125 pounds. But for now I have lost 115 pounds from my hight of 300 pounds.
Working on lossing weight.
I been for the last serveral months worked on lossing weight. I let my weight get out of hand, back on March 31 of this year I hit 300 pounds, and for someone that is only 5’6″ that is far to much. Today I weighed in at only 202 pounds. I still have a long way to go, but as of today I have lost 98 pounds. I still have 79 pounds to go, but at this point I am past the 1/2 way mark on the amount of weight I need to loss.
Nintendo proves the problem with the digial only future
Well the news lately is that Nintendo has shutdown the ability for people to download games they paid for for their Wii. So people gave money to nintendo for nothing. But with physical you don’t have to worry about a company just decided remove your rights for what ever reason. This another reason to fear the digital only future.
One nice thing about physical games.
The other day I was at a Retro game store, and asked the guy that worked there if they had a copy of Hydro Thunder a game I played a lot in the late 90s at the arcade when I was in colage. They did, true I had to buy a N64 for to play it, but here we are 20+ years later and I was able to get a game I remember and enjoyed. Now imagin if you will in 10 years someone looking to play a game they enjoyed in the past and also imagin it was a digiatal only game on the Wii, well that game is forever lost to history. But for me since I was looking for a game that had a physical game I was able to spend the money for the game (and in my case the money for the console also since I did not have a N64)
Why I did not buy the new Diablo 2 that was release
For a while I was excited to get the Diabloe 2 game that they are releasing, but then I found out they will not be doing a physical copy. And that right there stopped me from getting the game. I will not buy a digital only game.
Bought a new domain, and the spam phone calls are annoying
I been streaming lately. And I bought a domain name for my streaming activities. And today I have gotten 5 calls so far from scammers claiming to be web developers wanting me to higher them to build my website. Why would I even bother higher a web developer that does a cold call. I am a web developer so I don’t need someone else to do it. I been telling them to stop calling me, then T-Mobile has a app to report scam calls. And any “web developer” that would cold call anyone with a new domain is a scammer, so I been 1) blocking their phone number, and 2) reporting the scammers to T-Mobile.
Changing my wireless accesspoints
A while back I got the eeors wireless access points for my home network, But I have been increassing disastified with them as they do not support VLAN. So yesterday I invested in some Unifi wireless access points. First they do support VLAN. Next it does not require a app on my cell phone to manage (been working on reducing the number of apps I “HAVE” to have installed on my cell phone) and then lastly it will be nice to manage the access points from the same system I manage my router, and manage switches from.
Well if you needed even more reason to leave social media
This artical, talks about how the dems, are using social media to supress the 1st admendment. The sad thing is these social media giants are more then happy to go along with them. The more and more I read about things like this the more and more I am glad I deleted my social media accounts.
Remember how you were a nut if you thought the lab leak theory of the china flu was valid, but now that what they think.
Also notice how the people that want to censor idea or people they don’t like they always say it for your own good
“Oh these posts can kill people as it not the correct info for covid” — bidin adminstration
“Oh these books will send you to hell if you read them” — church of rome (when Luther, or Galilo published their ideas)
“Oh it for the children” — People against Video games, comic books, TV (or anything they don’t like)
Mind you I am not making judgment on truth values of what is being said, or what is being blocked, I am just saying cencorship of any type is bad. And also I am saying the 1st admendment does not have an exception for if a democrate does not like what is being said, or if it goes against a administration desired narative.
I guess the dems would have been ok with the book burnings of the in Germany in the 1930’s too.
Tomorrow is the day
A couple of days ago I posted to facebbok (first time I went on facebook in months) to let the people there know i will be deleting my facebook account. And i decided to do the deletion on independence day as it will be my final freedom from facebook so tomorrow the day the page is already open on the browser ready for the clicking of the confirm butto3.
