Day 11

I’m down to 123.2 kg as of this morning, the diet is not so hard now. I’ve caught some flu or cold or something and feel like crap. I have been sleeping most of the day.

Day 4 - THD

So, yesterday wasn’t quite so hard as teh day before, I think I ate a little more than the 500kcal, but I still managed to get down to 124.8kg which is down considerably from sunday when I weighed in at my heaviest of 129.2kg … about 4kg down in all. Now, obviously I can’t expect to [...]

End of Day 2

Well, I have managed to make it to the end of the day, and its not as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve managed to stick pretty much to the 500kcal, though I’m thinking the salad I had for dinner was more than 300kcal just because of the size of it… there was [...]

Lunch

I was pretty dismayed to read in my lunch break about the guy who tried to form a suicide party on-line over IM. This is pretty way out there. Also, the other thing that interested me was about an altered HIV virus that attacks cancer cells in mice. Is this a taste of things to come? [...]

Day 2

Oh my god

its 5:25 almost, and my stomach is really complaining now about the lack of food. What is making it worse is that it is valentine’s day and there is chocolate to be had all around the office, and I can’t have any of it. I’m really going to eat a huge amount of lettuce when I [...]

Starting today

As said before, I’m starting my diet today. Goal weight: 80kg. Current weight (as of this morning): 128.9kg (trend). The diet recommends starting the first three days with a fast, limiting yourself to around 500kcal of intake for those days. Sometimes its 4 days, sometimes 3 days, you basically just have to watch the scale and [...]

Losing weight the Hacker’s way

The Hacker’s Diet has always been a favourite of geeks, mostly because it was written by a fellow geek, one of the founders of Autodesk, Inc. I had read it before, but only a few pages, and yesterday while I was slothing around the house I decided to read it cover to cover. The main basic tenets [...]

Fuck the god of war.

Found this on Groove Salad - a MP3 radio station I listen to: I’ve been searching Gods all my life, now I know them. There is a meaning to life. There are things worth believing in. There are things worth being passionate about. All of this plays a part in trying to give a positive sense of [...]

Bridging on Fedora

I was looking for a way to use the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to setup bridging on fedora. I found the following page: http://www.slriv.com/~samr/bridging.shtml It works.
