Weight Loss Update & Giveaway
August 2nd, 2009
Shameless! Avert your eyes!

I am doing my first BlogHer review. I don’t typically do reviews on products unless (a) I think that it will somehow benefit my readership (THAT’S YOU) and/or (b) it is a product that I really do think is worthwhile.
In this case, I did a review on the new Acer Timeline Series Laptop. I really believe that computers should be made for the masses (i.e. affordable) and Acer is a company that works really hard at being accessible at a range of price points. We’ve had ours for a couple of weeks with nary a problem at all.
As part of the review, I get to give a laptop away to one lucky devil. Check out the review and contest guidelines here.
Woot!
Okay, on to the news at hand.
I wish I could say that I’ve been really diligent about going to the gym, but I haven’t been at all. It’s been so hot here that finding the motivation to get EVEN MORE sweaty seems pretty ludicrous. Instead, I’ve really been trying to watch what I eat … staying away from the things that may have gluten in them. There have been mess-ups for sure, but for the most part two or three meals of indulgence does not mean a setback. In means that I am leading a real life.
I know I said that I would post a “progress picture” last week, but I really couldn’t get a decent picture of myself because (a) I don’t know how to use the timer function on my new camera and (b) I really need to invest in a tripod. Instead, here is a picture of my latest weigh-in:

You can imagine my sigh of relief knowing that I am down 2 lbs. from last week. Nothing increases your motivation like things trending in the right direction.
This week’s goal? Getting back into the gym routine.
