Getting in Shape: End of Week 32

And here's the latest update.

Beginning Wii Weight: 223.8 (My heaviest ever)
Wii Weight on 6-3-14: 204.1 (a gain of .8)
Total: 19.7 pounds LOST

Weight Watchers on Initial Weigh In: 224
Weight Watchers on 6-3-14: 205.8 (A loss of 1.2.)
Total: 18.2 pounds

Weight Watchers has me close to my all time low of 205.4. I am 1.9 from my all time Wii low of 202.2. About a week ago, I was the hoover vacuum of food at Wiscon, so to get most of that 3 pound gain off in a week I feel is good.

Firm Summer Goal: To be under 200 by the time I go back to school. Given the time I plan to spend working out and watching my eating this summer, and that I have two months, I will do this thing. I've been hovering in the lower 200's for long enough.

Last week: Con crud slowed me up, but obviously not too much. I am ready to get back to exercising.

Impediment: Iowa is full of small bugs that I seem to be allergic to, as are many Iowans. This means I'll be inside for a lot of exercise. Sigh.

Well, back to it. Health, I am in you!

Paradise Icon is FULL!!!

Normally, I'd be putting up a sticky post to encourage all you writers to check out Paradise Icon over Icon weekend, which is October 31-November 2 this year. However, the workshop filled up in ONE FREAKIN'DAY!!!!

That's right, our 10 slots are filled, and happy journeyman writers will be gathering in Cedar Rapids to read and critique and be on panels and have seminars.

Some old friends and some new are coming our way. I'm excited. No, I'M EXCITED!!! ALL CAPS TRIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS EXCITED!!!

I'm also apologetic if you were thinking about the workshop this year. We'll no doubt run it again next year, and I hope you will consider it then.

But right now, I'm just shell-shocked. The first year it was just me and Shannon Ryan, pioneers that we were. Last year we had 8, and we had room right up to the con. This fill up in one day, well, I believe the correct word is woah.
