Time for yet another weigh-in. Man, the weeks are flying by – I’m already on week 5. This week I stayed the same weight as last week (162). I’m not concerned, though. As i previously mentioned, weight is not everything. The pictures are looking better each week, and that’s what matters. A some point I may even start gaining some weight (muscle) once I’ve burned all the fat off. Now, for the front pics:
And the back pics:
This week I moved my day off up. I started last night at dinner – we had a pre-season soccer party Friday night for my son’s soccer team and their families. I grilled up some burgers and hot dogs for everyone. Even though it was my day off, I still opted for the turkey burger and turkey dog, which is much leaner than the beef burgers. They have about 1/3 less calories and fat than the all beef ones. My day off will end before Saturday’s dinner.
My daughter has a dance competition that we’ve been at all day today. Now, for a little bit of my geeky side. I edited my week 5 photos before I left the house and uploaded them. The rest of the post I’m writing from my iPad. When we bought our iPad lasts year, we opted for the WiFi only version. We already pay enough for internet between our cable modem at home and data plans at $30 each for mine and my wife’s phone – then throw another $15/mo on top of that for mobile access on the iPad that we don’t really need…sheesh! You have to draw the line somewhere. Plus, we mainly use the internet on the iPad at the house, so WiFi was just fine for us.
Ok, back on topic to my off topic geek-a-thon. How am I posting this from the bleachers of a high school gym in-between dance performances? The answer: using the internet I already pay for on my phone. Did I pay extra for the tethering package? NO!! Why should I have to? That’s just plain dumb. I already pay for unlimited internet for my phone at $30/mo. Why should I have to pay AT&T an additional $15/mo ($45/mo) just to be able to tether from my iPhone? They sure are trying to milk Americans for as much as they can. How am I tethering from my iPhone to my iPad, you ask? I jailbroke my iPhone using redsn0w, bought the app MyWi from the underground app store, Cydia, for a one-time fee of $19.99. Now I can turn my iPhone into a mobile WiFi hotspot that the iPad can connect to for internet access. I can do the same from my laptop in a pinch – like the other day when I was working from home and the internet went out. I tethered to my computer and was still able to work while Time Warner Cable resolved the outage in our area. My question for all of the ISPs out there is “When will you stop gouging Americans and truly provide an all internet access fee regardless of where you are or what device you’re using?” Have a plan that makes sense, and I’m there.
Peace out.
