It's already bad when you miss like 2 days of your supposed daily blog. But I've never been one for punctuality. Plus, I guess when I have nothing to write about, writing then feels like more of a chore than something pleasurable. Anyway, this is mid week, and so far the week has been good.
So let me just start off by saying, I'm overweight. Now when I say overweight, I don't mean by like 50 lbs or so. I mean fat as fuck overweight. Yeah, I'm not so bad where I'm pushing around a Wal-Mart in motor cart, but if I lost "50 lbs" that would be "just the beginning" of my weightloss journey. I'm essentially 6'4 and 385 lbs. Just 15 lbs shy of the big 400. So yeah, definitely knee deep in the "fat as fuck" territory. To my non US friends who don't know the imperial measurements, there is google for you, because I'm being kind of lazy right now.
Anyway I bring that up, to talk about the fact that I have recently hired a nutritionist. My main issue is that I work from home full time, and basically don't eat a lot. And when I do eat, and this being Philly, UberEats is a 30 minute delivery away to a high calorie meal. My fat meal of choice are wings. I can do without a lot of stuff, but I'm weak as hell to wings. Especially buffalo wings with shitload of blue cheese and a shitload of sauce. Anyway, at 37 years old, doesn't seem like the most efficient way to lose weight.
Anyway, today and Monday were days I actually stuck to some sort of healthy eating. And I think I'm starting to get this down, eating oatmeal in the morning, 2 salads during the day, and ending my day with another salad. And drinking water along the way. So I actually did really good today, and I'm proud of myself.
As far as work is concerned, I'm a DevOps Engineer. I work full time for a company who change their "direction" as much as they change socks. I do puppet development and write the occasionally utility scripts in Python or bash. Anyway in typical fashion, some work I was doing has now be removed from some application stack I was working on.
Anyway I hate Puppet, it's so complicated. Actually I hate Enterprise Puppet. For something that is meant for automation, it can be a challenge to automated Puppet itself. Anyway, I won't get much into that.
All in all, great day that ended on a pretty high note. Plus I get to really design a Jenkins solution this week that I've been stalling for awhile. Tomorrow I meet back up with my nutritionist, can't wait to tell her I've doing good the last 3 days.
Song of the day:
Miki Matsubara - Stay With Me
Definitely a punchy and catchy tune from the year I was born, 1979:
being overweithed its a problema with an easy solution, eat only healthy things! and do exercise! specially proteins, eat healthy even if u have to spend more money, cut expenses which r uncesary, always remember the life u r taking in order for u to survive. we must eat everything we are supossed to, nothing else. caloriies control, good luck. stay in shape! do not surrender to the ego of apetite ;)

Awesome track, Junko Yagami? Never heard of her, but will definitely be checking her out. This is nice early 80s synth funk right here.
