Computer & Internet Troubles

My original intention was to update this blog daily so I could have a document of my progress and share it with others. Unfortunately, the past week-and-a-half have not been good for me computer-wise so I was unable to keep this blog updated.

For a full week my internet service was largely unavailable. Sometimes it would work for a short time, most of the time it would not. So I couldn't post regularly.

Then the day the technician came out to look at the internet problem, my computer failed to boot. No matter what I did, it would not boot. My computer was not usable for three days. I assumed it was a hardware problem, so I removed all my cards like the modem, soundcard, etc. It still would not boot. I had a couple of spare data ribbons that connect the hard drive to the motherboard laying around, so I removed the one I had and put in a new one in a final act of desperation . My computer booted!

My weight

I weighed myself Saturday morning. I weighed 187.6 lbs. Slow but steady progress, you could say.

Exercise

I haven't gotten any exercise today. Just as I hopped on my bike and started down the driveway this morning it started to rain. Within seconds of me sitting on the bike seat the rain started. How's that for luck?

I went for a one-hour walk yesterday and one again on Friday. Even though I wasn't able to post about my exercise, I did still get some.

My back is sore from bending over the computer earlier today, so I'm just going to rest this evening.
