Like many Americans, I spend a great deal of time on the internet. A decent chunk of that time is spent looking at images of all kinds. Today, for instance, I found this lovely blog of interior photography in real people’s homes called An Afternoon With…, and it pretty well knocked…

Today’s Weight: 158.2 lbs. It’s hard to believe that I’ve cleared my first major hurdle and finally made it into the 150’s. Don’t get me wrong, I know this kind of drop is too good to be true, and that I’ll probably fluctuate back and forth for awhile, but just…

Today’s Weight: 160.8 It’s Sunday, and for me Sunday means homework. I have a HUGE homework assignment due in a manner of hours, and I’m still trying to figure out where to go with it. It’s the final assignment for this class, and is worth 25% of my grade. I’m…

Today is the 10th day of my 30 Day Bikram Challenge, and I’ve only been to eight classes, counting a class this morning. One of the more forgiving aspects of the challenge is that your only goal is to do 30 classes in 30 days, so if you don’t go…
