My wife emailed me this little blurb in today’s paper … I wonder if she’s trying to tell me something? Hmmm

Fri Feb 16 2007

THE producers of a weight-loss reality-TV show are holding an open casting call in Winnipeg this month.
X-Weighted, a reality/documentary series that follows subjects as they try to reach their weight-loss goals with the help of expert coaches, will hold auditions for its third season on Feb. 24 and 25 at the Holiday Inn South.

The show’s producers are looking for overweight subjects who will commit to being filmed for six months while following a diet and exercise program, whose families and friends are also willing to be recorded, and who have a meaningful and reality-TV-worthy goal they’re looking to achieve with their weight-loss effort.

Monday February 12, 2007 Weigh In

275 lbs

>> UP 1.0 lb
>> YTD down 7.0 lbs

Reflection

I think I’ve got to ask my wife to stop buying me these Kellogg’s Nutrigrain Sweet & Salty Chocolatey Almond Bars. The point value is 3 points per bar, but I’m eating them as if they are 2 points and filling up on them. I’ve slowed down on the salads and the oranges. But .. GEESH .. those Pearson Nut Roll Bars that I really like - are 8 points each.

I’m glad that I ended up with 13 unused splurge flex points, because in my mind that was my goal for the week.

I have now successfully completed the upgrade to the latest wordpress version 2.1

There were more than the usual amount of plugins activated prior to the update, and I have not only deactivated some that were known not to be compatible .. but I have added a few new plugins.

While I was tinkering with the files and data, I’ve decided to resize 100% of the photos that were previously inside this blog to a maximum of 1000px wide by 1000px height. Basically, that translated to reducing my pictures of about 650kb size to about 120kb in size. I figured that I would only have about 1.4 years left of daily pictures of my meals to upload, before I would have to upgrade this account’s hard disk space .. or resize all of the pictures anyway. I think that this maximum size is still sufficient to review closer details of my delicious dinners (and other camera shots) and the savings will be enormous over time.
