Just sitting up here in Sac waiting on Tim to get home, so we can make a quick trip to LA and back to pick up two rigs.
Nothing to bitch or rant about life seems to be going good.

Yes I’m still here. I’ve been buried in work stuff and have been focusing my energy there.
I’ve also haven’t had a who bunch to blog about that needed more then a tweet or a facebook status update.
Well it’s a new month so here goes for some of my personal updates.
Weight loss progress
Well I’ve kind of stalled out for the month of April, with all the changes that happened at work and going on vacation to an all inclusive resort, didn’t bode well for the diet plan. However when I was at the resort I did use the gym 6 of 8 days there so it helped a little. I’m still up about 4 pounds since my last weight in in March but I haven’t done much exercise in April except for soccer. I’m going to start hitting the gym again today since I have cleared my lunch schedule with my new manger. I’m still gunning for 225 by July which is 10 pounds down for where I am right now at 235. My overall goal for 2009 is to get down and stable at 205, but one goal at a time.
Work Stuff
Things for me a work have stabilized, I’m still doing what I do best and I’m happy where I’m at. I like my new manager, not that I didn’t like my last manager he is a great guy. The nice thing about my new manager is he gets what I do and I’m happy to be on team again. I was getting tired of being by myself, now some people might think that is great, but it really is lonely when it comes to dealing with work stuff.
After a few months of bleakness things are looking up for me, even though the world around me is full of unemployment and H1N1 flu. In my life things are good for me and seem to be getting better, now if I can just get my Palm Pre things would be even better.

Well after two months of waiting I finally found out that I get to keep my job. I’m very happy about this since I really do enjoy doing what I do and I’m glad that folks out there saw that I really put my all into the program. I’m also glad that most of the people I work with on my program made it through with the exception of one. So overall we are going to be able to continue with out too much change in the plan of action.
I”m am sad that there were some really good people that I have worked with over the years that got cut. It’s hard to have friends that you have worked with have to leave the company not by choice.
We will all leave one day and I really hope when it’s my time to leave the company it’s my choice to walk away knowing I completed what I wanted to and I can move on to the next challenge free and clear.

I’ve just finished cleaning out the stuff from my desk in Dublin I want to keep if I get let go this week. It’s amazing the amount of crap we collect over time and why we keep it. I didn’t empty my entire desk figure I’ll leave some stuff for the vultures and let them throw out all the crap I don’t want.

On Jan 5th I started on my current program to get myself down to a better weight, I was tired of being way too heavy. I was tipping the scale at 256.8 according to the Wii fit body test which is what I’m using to track my progress. I’m using the same settings and trying to weigh in at the same time everyday and wearing the same kind of shorts, this is as controlled as I can get without being in a lab. So as of this mornings weight in I came in at 236.6 20 pounds down from when I started. So I’m shedding at this point around 10 pounds a month with my current routine. So I’m doing something right in my opinion. I’m still 11 pounds off from my July 15th goal of 225 and the next 11 pounds are going to be a lot tougher since I’m going to need to change the routine up a bit just so I don’t fall into a rut, and I’m going to an all inclusive resort.
I’m still going to be hitting the gym but I’m think I’m going to employee the services of a friend that is a personal trainer to help me setup some new routines, that way I have a better idea of what I’m doing since right now I’m spending a lot of time doing heavy cardio work but light weight training and I know what I’m doing weight training wise is a bit hit and miss. My overall diet is doing better too, I’m still doing the muscle milk light in the morning and afternoon and a reasonable dinner , I’ve cut back a lot on beer and have cut out all soda with the exception of a on tap root beer the other day, my water intake has gone way up since I picked up a camelbak water bottle. I don’t know why but I’m using it more then a simple glass, and I’m glad I’m not spending money on bottled water as much anymore since I try to fill the bottle and take it with me.
I’m also seeing the benefits of my hard work, I’m playing soccer much better now. I have definitely had a positive increase in my speed. I’m able to explode into a sprint much better and don’t need as much recovery time after the play.
One big bump in the road coming up will be in April when we swim to the bar. I will have to take my stuff with me and use the gym in the morning so I drink and eat more.
