Turned on some sharing features, which don’t look great in the Kubrick theme. I may have to hide a bunch of them behind a Share button, otherwise anything other than very long posts look stupid. I’m still going back and forth on whether I want this visible to Facebook people; while my Real Life friends have known about my more successful forays into blogging in the past, I haven’t really had a blog presence in any sort of serious fashion since moving back to South Bend, and no one here has access to any of the stuff I’ve written. Then again, it might drive some hits, and actual interaction with people will keep me writing more than hurling pixels into the void. Worth thinking about.
Plus my Facebook feed is nothing but what-I’m-reading and what-I-cooked-today now anyway, mostly, so everyone I know has probably blocked all of my FB posts.
First day of summer break, officially, so naturally I’m going to work tonight. At some point after I write this I’m going to go downstairs and get at least a moderate amount of exercise. I’ve become fascinated with the FitBit Flex recently (I can blame Warren Ellis, of all people, for this, which shouldn’t be true but is) and am currently fighting hard to keep myself from spending $100 to get one. I’ve noticed lately that technology does seem to be helpful to me keeping my weight under control, and after taking a break from my weight loss regimen (still down 50 pounds, though) it’s time to get back on the horse again. Part of the problem is that I’ve been cooking so much lately, and cooking foods I like to eat; “stuff I cooked” slides right underneath my “eat healthier” filter somehow, especially since homecooked foods don’t have convenient bar codes on them that I can scan to get calorie information. So I’m going to shift tactics a little bit and focus less on controlling food intake (not “ignore,” just “focus less”) and more on increasing how much exercise I get. It’s summer; this ought to be fairly easy.
Gonna fiddle with the theme a bit more. I’ll be back if I come up with something valuable to say before I go to work
ETA: Moderate amount of exercise achieved.
Very, very moderate.
