This is going to be my first entry. I realize this is public so I'll do my best not to say anything I'll regret online, but I need a place to both vent and unwind. Hopefully this will help me accomplish this.
I'm sure to talk about everything from my family, to work, exercising, and of course computers and Linux! I think I do a little of all right now to get started.
If you made it here you more than likely know me already, if not I'm married with two great kids a boy (3) and a girl (2). They're really fun most of the time, and the rest, well they make me insane but I can't complain because at least I get a break unlike my wife.
The break of course is work. I'm a technology specialist at my home town school. I love it, and it's inspired me quite a bit. It's made me think in different ways and allowed me to experience aspects of technology I may have never tried out. Aside from that I've become interested in teaching as well. In the future I hope to pursue this, we'll see how it turns out.
The best thing that happened with this job was a bigger push personally into open source software. I wasn't a stranger to it before, but with this job I didn't just use one or two open source softwares, I jumped all the way in using Linux and some amazing tech. Each day I learn more, though not as much as the first couple months. It's been a great time for me.
Well that pretty much brings it all together as far as how things are going for me right now. I mentioned exercise before though so I'll bring you up to date on that as I will likely use a section of the blog to post my calories and exercise. Should help me keep on track! I started off at 225lbs at an Dr's appointment in December. Since then I've dropped to about 200 give or take. My wife and I began counting calories in January, and soon after I began exercising with my brother-in-law. I progressed from just lifting weights to using the treadmill and now average 250 to 300 calories burned a day on it. I feel a lot better because of it, and hopefully I can get back into the fitness I was in while I was in the Guard.
Alright, I guess I'll continue next time!
