Very proud of myself. I have learned how to cook a bigger variety of foods and tastes without sacrificing the healthy aspect of my diet. This is a huge success so far!! I can’t really get in a habit of blogging, mostly due to the fact that I don’t feel like I have anything to say that anyone cares to read. Oh well.

So I had my first weigh in on Tuesday. My goal was a 4 lbs weight loss, and I was really nervous. I don’t want to be one of those people that looks at a scale everyday, so I think doing a weigh-in once a week with my trainer to track my progress is a good thing. Well the good news is I made my goal…and some. I was excited to hear that I had lost 7 lbs in the first week. I am realistic in knowing that the first week might be the highest weight loss week, but the fact that I lost weight and feel great made for an amazing surprise. I am not celebrating yet, I do have a bit of work to do to accomplish my goal, but I feel good!

Pretty funny if you ask me, because I am still looking for an excuse to use Hadoop, but alas nothing comes to mind.

So far…. so good, and it looks like it’s going to be another solid release from the WordPress team. I have been thinking that it is about time I get involved in the WordPress community as developer, seeing as I have been using the software now for years. Not sure what I am going to do first, but I plan on building something.

Not much else new to report. But eventually I will update this thing more frequently.
