Exercise Log: the weekend and Monday

The weekend was interesting... we had house guests the entire time and socializing stuff to do.

On Sunday, I actually got lots of activity in as myself and my financee's father did some work around the yard (insulated a crawlspace under an extension that was never done properly and fixed a big problem with crumbling mortar at the base of our chimney).

It felt good to work outside and it wasn't too hot. No real cardio was involved, though. I really need to get back into the machines in the basement. My diet has been terrible lately as well.

Last night, no sleep...

Test post from Google API Sample App

Just testing posting to Blogger with Google API sample app. Trying to learn how to use the Google APIs from .NET for 15 minutes a day (doing this before beginning work on work projects).

Energy Drinks

Update - 2007-08-27 - Superstore is now selling a case of 24 Red Rain for $27 + deposit. Nice. My most significant food discovery lately has been Energy Drinks .

Late night work and driving are the two times I really can't afford to be drowsy and I was telling a friend this, when then said "we get Red Bull free at work" and told me it helped them get through all-nighters. I tried a can of Red Bull on my next road trip and it worked. It worked really well. The drowsiness (and fear that I would fall asleep at the wheel) were gone. I soon began drinking them as needed (not very often). Anyway, now that I have established that these are used by me as needed and I am not hooked or a

Quick post

Taking a quick break from work to post here (haven't done it in a long time, stuck on a problem at work... this should help). Brain dump: been gardening with my wife... should have a decent yield of greens and hearty vegetables plus some excellent herbs and tomatoes put up a clothesline at the house with my brother (it was a raining a little but we got it done) trying to go to the gym every day before work; I have been working at home more though, and not bothering to hit the gym... I think I need to go anyway on those days or do a P90X workout or something action packed weekend planned featuring comedy fest, brunch, and a concert (Joel Plaskett is opening for the Bare Naked Ladies)... That last one should boost my Google ranking, but for all the wrong reasons. OK, back to work!
