Batteries Not Included

I tried weighing myself on my Wii today, and it turns out, the batteries were dead. As were the batteries in my real scale. So I'll need to buy some before posting an update. I'm guessing by the end of today.

I'm back!

It's been a long time since I last posted here. Admittedly, I had to do a fair amount of searching to even find the blogs address. A lot has gone on, and I know my weight and health aren't doing too well. I started my own business, AlisalTech, and it's going well. Profits are up and down, some months bringing in a lot, others not so much. It's enough to get me by, and enough to make me want to continue and help the business grow.

With the new year, I am planning a lot of major changes in my life. Some of these changes include:

• Getting married.
• Losing weight.
• Writing more.
• Blogging more.
• Expanding my business, (in both size and profitability.)
• Getting healthy.
• Gaining muscle.
  
• And more...

These are in no particular order, and I'm starting with pretty much everything at once. Later on today, I'll do my first weigh-in in a long time to see what the damage is, and work from there. Eating better, dusting off the old Wii Fit and EA Active, daily push-ups and sit-ups; these are all in my agenda in terms of health and weight loss.

First Major Problem

I do a variety of things within my business, from standard computer clean-ups and repairs, to working out tech needs for school districts, and even web-mastering (though you wouldn't know it from this blog.) One of my biggest projects however, is writing IT-related articles for TrainSignal, Inc. I absolutely love writing, and more-so, I love writing about technology. The problem is, it's hard for me to concentrate on writing at home. There are far too many distractions (people, chores, entertainment, etc.) for me to write efficiently. My solution has been to write at night, usually at Denny's where I can zone everyone out.

This is where my problem begins. My schedule (body clock) has been horrible. Some days I'll be up all day, other days I'll be asleep all day, and others I'll be up for two days at a time. This is really bad for my body, and eventually, I'd like to set up a "real" schedule, be it day or night-shift that I can try to stick to. Otherwise, my body is going to have a hell of a time burning off fat and gaining muscle efficiently.

A Possible Solution

I'd like to try some sort of mid-scheduling, perhaps waking up at around 9pm, eating "breakfast," working out early, taking a shower, and around 2am (after the Denny's night-crowd leaves,) heading out to write for TrainSignal, my personal sites, client sites, and here. After my writing (lets say around 6-7am,) I would have about 5-7 hours allotted to both hang out with the family, and take care of any tech clients. Finally, I would go back to sleep around noon or 1pm, giving me a good 8 hours of sleep before I start all over.

This would be a temporary, but working solution. Eventually, we'll be clearing out our back room so I can turn it into an office for my writing and web-work. Once that's done, (which will likely take months due to its current state,) I can return to a normal 8am - midnight schedule, allowing me to spend more time with the family while still being able to write in a more comfortable, quiet, and peaceful setting.

Thanks for Reading!

That's all for now! Ill be back later in the day for my weight in and possibly more commentary. Thanks for checking in!
