Course Completed

I just finished the 13 hour Adobe CS4 Mastery series at Lynda.com with a 1200 calorie session on the elliptical trainer.  My weight is 181.

May Was Killer

There were just too many receptions, parties and celebrations in April and May for me to have any success at all in getting more weight off.  Also, having two ingrown toenails worked on put me out of commission on the elliptical  for quite a few days.

Lynda and I celebrated our 35th yesterday with all sorts of yummy badness like champagne, sushi, beer and ice cream.  I ate some Mary Janes on the way home from Fresh Market.  I bought a couple of chocolate filled croissants which we haven’t even touched yet.  We’ve got a wedding to attend this weekend and I plan to keep on with our afternoon wine time until then but after this coming Sunday’s champagne I’m serious!

In other new, I spent almost two hours on the elliptical this morning, finishing up two tutorials I had left incomplete, Dreamweaver CS3 Beyond the Basics and Site Point’s Crash Course in CSS

Been Busy

I recently spent quite a few hours struggling to make and maintain a consistent connection between Dreamweaver and a remote MySQL database.  After many Googles I found the source of the problem which merely amounted to changing <?php virtual(/Connections… to <?php require_once(Connections… . Amazing.  I think I know why that error was occurring but, to be honest, I don’t care anymore and prefer to move on to the next dumb problem I’m sure to encounter.

Now that the database connection has been made I’ve made good progress using a database to control image navigation for the upcoming site.  Yay!  I even had to learn some quick SQL in order to create the proper queries to retrieve the desired information from the database.

Meanwhile, I’ve continued to exercise daily and eat right and I finally got my weight below 175!  This morning I’m going to make a grocery run to Wal-Mart and will find some way to reward my efforts, I am sure of that.

Friday I’ll call to get the lab results from last week’s colonoscopy.

I received a new disk of images from L Craig Roberts and added another house to his portfolio site.  What a monster!  The house, that is, L Craig is a very nice guy.

Scoped

I have exercised almost every day since Christmas!  I missed yesterday because I went to the hospital for a routine colonoscopy.  I had one five years ago so I knew what to expect this time and it really wasn’t bad at all.  Today I am fully recovered and back to doing my two hour elliptical routine so, yay.
