Jrod’s Blog

I broke my 2 week slump and lost 1.6 more pounds.  This is in despite of limited exercise and bad eating.  Something still must have clicked though.  Last week was customer service week at work, there were cookies, ice cream, cake, and candy all over the office.  Yes I snacked but I have no regrets, I tracked it all and still stayed within my points.  So I am happy to say I have lost 59 pounds…

I hope to drop a couple more this week to take me above 60 pounds lost.  Cool huh?

In unrelated news, my damn laptop died on me.  I cannot boot into Windows, cant chkdsk from the recovery console, cant see the drive via minipe or bartpe.  I dusted off some old Linux skills and downloaded Knoppix, burned the CD and booted to it.  I am able to see the volume and am recovering my files.  I am glad this works, and am glad I remembered basic Linux commands.  Prior to tonight it had been at least 3 years since I sat at a bash shell typing commands, scary huh.  I am composing this blog post from my Knoppix Live CD as I copy files to an external drive and have been surfing the net this way all week.  I am done being a nerd now.  Back to ESPN.
