Monkey wrench with Driver's Ed. 180 spots for 500 kids. How does that work?

This is probably the one subject I do not want to homeschool.

esSO: Great picture of you and the kids.

2 servers down at 7pm last night for 40 minutes. Planned hardware upgrade that didn't notify the apps team. Standard monkey business here.

Oh, yeah, don't forget to check This out before tomorrow!

yes, chickenpox. Even after two vaccines against. I get to work from home for at least two days. No monkeying around here.

Code Monkey think, "maybe manager wanna write goddamn log-in page himself."

Code Monkey get up, get coffee

Code Monkey go to job

Code Monkey have boring meeting

Sinead O'Conner: Nothing compares to you.

Good morning or bad morning?

bugger, didn't get to the apple in time.

Lucky for me there are no buses in the gym!

+10 points if you manged to not get hit by a bus while bicycling and reading and highlighting.

How many + points for flu shots, CBCs, and chem panels?

And how many extra MET points do I get for bicycling and reading & highlighting research papers at the same time?

Lost a half a pound.

I fit into my pants that I could not even pull over my hips before I left the states!
Hurray for student life without a car!

Ok, so I'm thinking Thomas has chickenpox, even though he has had two vaccinations against it and has no fever. What is there? like a 2% possibility of that? Guess we'll see at 4:15. Doctor's office wants us to wait down the hall, away from the people with H1N1 symptoms...this should be fun. We got masks to wear...just like Halloween, kind-of.

RBO, too bad you don't get to vote in this race.

One mini twix bar. Minus 25.

Okay we're into November, the suggestion lists are up under x-Mas, please add a few suggestions for yourself or someone else that you have a great idea for, but don't have their name. This is for you adults! If nothing else, put up your sizes so people can get you the correct size on what they buy.

whew, that was close. almost forgot to eat the apple.

1 carrot
1 orange

again... mixing it up today, brought an apple and a carrot. The caffeine withdrawal last night was not pleasant. Then again, maybe it was just sleep deprivation. Still have not walked farther than from here to the car.

0.8|Standing/Waiting with surly disposition: 0 mph (∞ min/mi)

How many points do I get for standing in the train for 20 minutes? The train was shorter than usual so there weren't enough places to sit, there almost wasn't enough space to stand either. I stood between four people and had to lean on each according to the direction the train was swaying in at that moment.

I thought it was stuck on high speed?

Fantastic idea on the bike on treadmill. Now if I could figure out how to hook the treadmill back up...

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

I think we already established that our idea of "desserts" is different when you said fruit for dessert is cheap.

That is precisely why the drinks are per-drink, not per-day.

Let me see you see 6 desserts in a day.

What I realized with the way the points are figured is that once you've eaten the dessert (Halloween candy included), you've already lost the points, so you might as well eat 5 desserts. And eat dessert for dinner.

well, I guess I have been caught cheating already with the pizza and forgot about the halloween candy.

I think the worksheet is easier than fitday.com. It took me 30 minutes to fill in my breakfast.

Did I mentoin they are bitesize mints!!

Does riding a bike on the treadmill count? Maybe that will make it a usable pace for Michele??

How many points for not counting points?

um...that worksheet is a lot of work. Might try fitday.com for logging all your meals and activities. Anyone who meets their goal is a winner then.


-5000 halloween candy
+1,000,000 run 5K with Tracy in the rain WITH cape on. Laugh at other runners.

Well I can't resist the temptation to get healthy via a competition. Here's my score from yesterday:
+50 Fruit
+50 Veggies
+345 Jogging 2 miles
+115 Walk in woods with girls

Total for day: 560

I think 3 peppermint patties counts as dessert. I'm very interested to hear other opinions on this though. I do not think the Propel sticks count as a full sports drink though. Isn't there a ton more sugar in Gatorade?

Eric and I are in trouble - our treadmill isn't working unless you can run at full speed the entire time and never stop. That will have to change if we want to compete.

I would count that pizza that we ate on Sunday as 'fast food'.
But I would also count that walk in the zoo as 2 hours of a slow walk.

So how many points does Halloween candy count for? I'm on my 3rd peppermint patty this morning. The bike ride in this morning was lame, I didn't even need the headlight, pshhh.

It's as safe as the brakes on a big wheel, and we all know kids have the safest toys.... I still remember going full steam on the big wheel down Grandma's driveway(feet off the pedals).
My method takes some specialty parts depending on your hub style and size, the easiest method is buying a track bike wheelset.. the cheapest ones I've found are: http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=1618
I'll stick with my $10 dangerous mod. Patent pending

A wagner riding something unsafe? Preposterous!

I'm not convinced your method of fixing the gear is completely safe. When you come for a visit, you can show me what you did to the hub.

Was that ride in on a fix gear yet????
