Ketones, loose skin and other nastiness…

I’ve been checking my ketone levels for the past couple days and I’m definitely in ketosis. My test strips have been bright pink after going back into induction as opposed to the light pink they were before. Speaking of which, I guess ketones and ketosis are out while lipids and lipolysis are in. I received […]

Big Brother is Watching You!

Big Brother is really watching you. New RFID tags the size of a speck of dust will be embedded in everything from paper currency to ballpoint pens. Don’t you just love living in the age of information? More information, as always, available on Slashdot.

Pure De-Lite Chocolates

A few weeks ago I ran across the Pure De-Lite line of sugar free low carb chocolates at the local Wal Mart. After finishing my box of six bars, I tried to look for bargains on the Web for bulk pricing. I had no idea that the Wal Mart pricing was better than anywhere else! […]

I’m off the Xenadrine-EFX…

I’ve decided to stop taking the Xenadrine-EFX since I no longer feel that it is really doing anything. When I first started taking it as a supplement I found that I had more energy and I didn’t feel so run down. Now that I’ve lost quite a bit of weight I seem to have just […]

We have clean power again…

The power seems to have cleaned itself up. Either Mass Electric fixed it or everyone turned off their air conditioners.

Going back into induction!

Since I’ve found myself cheating a little bit and my weight loss progress has tapered off, I’ve decided to go back into the induction phase of Atkins. I’m only losing two pounds per week right now and, although that’s acceptable progress, I’d really like to be losing more. I’ll also be paying more attention to […]

Atkins for Life

Kelly came home with a copy of Atkins for Life the other night and I’ve started flipping through it. I’ll definitely read it from cover to cover at some point, but it’s written as a reference manual to help configure a lifestyle change to maintain weight that’s already been lost. It is possible to start […]

Brownouts suck.

So all of the UPS boxes in my office were firing randomly all night. Plugging a voltmeter into the outlet revealed consistent drops under 112 VAC every minute or two so I called Mass Electric to report the problem. After blaming my internal wiring the incredibly chipper CSR agreed to dispatch a tech. A few […]

Tanita BF-662-S Scale

Since our aging analog scale has been getting more and more flakey lately with fluctuations of up to four or five pounds I’ve decided to bite the bullet and order a Tanita BF-662-S digital scale with athletic mode and body fat analysis. Tanita has quite a few other scales available, but the BF-662-S seemed like […]

[email protected] has been terminated.

I got responses back from systems administrators at primushost.com and livin4.com. The user account that was being used for the fake Love@AOL Web page has been shut down by livin4.com and the open formmail.pl script that was being used to send the email was terminated by primushost.com. What’s really a shame is that [email protected] sounds […]
