Today was the Insanity fit test. Kicked my ass. I woke up at 6 AM (ugh!) to do it. I got through the first 6 (of 8) exercises and then felt like I was gonna hurl. Hopefully I can last longer in the coming days/months. The diet might be harder than the exercise – I’ve never done any type of diet in my life. I’ve always eaten whatever I wanted. The diet they put you on is 5 smaller healthy meals a day and just water to drink. Before most of the meals today I wasn’t really hungry. I’ll have the same 5 meals every other day. Tomorrow is 5 new meals – and an actual workout (not a fit test). I’m sore already from just the fit test… I’m sure I’ll be incredibly sore after a workout.

Starting Insanity Tomorrow
I’m stating the Insanity workout tomorrow. I’m 5′ 11″ and 174 pounds – I’m not overweight (though I’m near the top of the range), and my BMI is in the healthy range. I’m out of shape though – seriously out of shape. It’s been ages (and by ages, I mean YEARS) since I’ve done any real exercise. So, this should be fun. I’m not looking to lose weight, just looking to get in shape.
Today I’ve been prepping food for the week – I feel like I’m prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse. Seems like I prepped all day.
New job!
Yesterday was a big day for me. After almost six years at my current job, I am changing jobs and I have accepted a job offer from a local non-profit and I start on July 9. Words can’t express how happy and excited I am to start this new job.
Star Wars Light Saber Lamp
I did this DIY project a few weeks ago and just wrote this up and posted it on my site, geekcrafts.com. It turned out better than I thought it would. I still have to do the logo in the shade though – that’s part 2. Also, it was posted on Ikea Hackers today too!
Real World 3D
Here’s a sign your kid has been playing too many video games/watching 3D movies:
Daughter (while riding in car with me): Daddy, look at those clouds – they look 3D!
Me: They are 3D. The real world is 3D.
Both of us: LOL
