Day 1 - Power 90
Well, here I go. Again. This time I have a different kind of goal. Kari's wedding. Gotta lose the weight and get in shape. I don't want to be the "old man" walking his daughter down the isle. People I haven't seen in a while saying "God, look at Keith! He looks so old! Man, he's put on some weight." You know, that guy.

So today I started Power 90 from Beachbody.com. After doing today's workout, I realize that there is no way I could have done P90x. I'm just way too out of shape. I plan on doing that next tho'.

Today's 30 minute workout kicked my butt! Hell, I'm so out of shape I have to do the "girl" pushups. Ugh. There were even some of the exercises I couldn't finish. Shameful.

Anyway, I thought I'd get this written down and hopefully will track my progress here. One day down. Eighty nine to go. Wish me luck. I need it.

Setting up SpamAssassin on Windows
Just wanted to drop this in here so I don't forget where it is.

This is a really good explanation of setting up SpamAssassin for Windows and hMailServer...

http://www.alterprocedure.net/articles/alterprocedure/how-to-configure-spamassassin-for-hmailserver-in-windows-server-2003.aspx

Really helped me out. I'm running it on Windows 7 in case you think you have to have an installation of Windows Server.

As far as the setup in hMailServer, I used localhost for the server address.

Ridin' Shades
I should have wrote about this a long time ago, but better late than never. I started a little online business and it's called Ridin' Shades. I sell sunglasses and accessories. They're pretty cool, tailored mostly toward bikers but really anyone can wear them. Most of the sunglasses are uni-sex but I also have some women's styles.

I built the site because I wanted to do an ecommerce web site. I think it turned out ok. I did the design myself which is a miracle actually, but I think it looks ok.

Business is, how should I say it, less than booming. But, I really didn't think I would get rich off of this. I would like however to have a sale from someone I don't know! It's only been about five months. I guess we'll see. I need to do some marketing!

You can find us at www.ridinshades.com. We're also on facebook and twitter. You should check us out!

Eat less/move more
I'm gonna lose some weight. I have to lose some weight. The ultimate goal is 30 pounds. Well, actually 31 pounds. I want to hit 185 by Kari's wedding. That's May 19th 2012. That's185 days. The first intermediate goal is to be at or below 200 pounds by the first of the year. I'm currently at 216 so losing 16 pounds in 6 weeks shouldn't be too hard. As long as I stick with it.

I'm going to use portion control and do some exercises in order to do this. Not sure what exercises yet but I'll figure that out.

So here we go...

A Realization
I realized today that my daughters are a great inspiration to me. I've been kinda lazy lately as far as my career and Ridin' Shades. They are both working very hard right now. Jamie is busting her butt putting in 55+ hours a week as a restaurant manager and Kari is working full time and trying to get her business started. I need to be more like them right now.

Ridin' Shades should be up and running. I have no excuse. If I had that going, I could then be working on the19thTee.com. Get on it Big K. Snap out of this laziness. Be more like Jamie and Kari.

Another one bites the dust
Damn. Lost my third gazebo in the backyard yesterday. Blew right into the neighbor's back yard. I give. I'm not wasting any more money just to have it blown over again. Sigh.

"If you don't ride, you don't know"
There is NOTHING like riding a Harley.

Nothing.

I. Freakin'. Love it.

And fall? is the best. There's something about that cool/cold air.

boating, camping, vacationing, and being a biker.

The worst day so far
Tomorrow will be the most difficult day of our lives as we say so long to our younger  daughter Kari . She is moving to South Carolina to start a new chapter of her life with her fiance Bryan. We are so proud of them for having the strength to make this very tough decision. We wish them all the luck in the world and we are confident they will be successful in all they do.

Never forget you are always in our thoughts and in our hearts. We will miss you terribly and we love you both.

Ahhhhh
It's amazing how good you feel and how much you can get done when the weight of the world is off your shoulders. It's been a really good day. :)

You Don't Know How It Feels - Tom Petty

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

Emotional Rollercoaster
I go from being happy for her, to being mad at her, to extreme sadness, to downright depression. I hate this.

Heartbroken
Kari is leaving on the 11th of August. Just over two weeks away. My heart is breaking. I keep trying to tell myself that this will be good for her and for Gayla and me. I'm a liar.
