I hadn’t planned on spending my vacation working…


TxCowboyDancer Designs Logo with shadow ©2012…but that is exactly what has happened for the past three and a half days.  I’ve been learning CSS and refreshing my rusty HTML skills, setting up my new CafePress Store:

I did good!  I likes it!  I likes it!
And I did it all by myself!

I’ve been toying with the idea of opening an online shop selling t-shirts, mugs, buttons, etc., for ages.  But I’ve never gotten around to doing it.  I’ve got literally hundreds of quotes, quips, and design ideas jotted down on paper.

Most of the designs are dance related.  Surprise!  LOL!

Oh, and the other designs are LOL related.  As in LOL Cats.  You may have noticed that I’ve created a few LOL Cats for my blog, using them to illustrate whatever the topic at hand may be.  I’m putting the best of those into the store first, since they represent already created artwork.

Web Gleanings: Success


Just a quick post to share an image which a friend posted to my Facebook wall.

Success

To which I replied….

“Amen Sister!”

I need to keep this in mind the next time
one of “my small steps” turns out to be a backward step!

See ya on the dance floor!

New Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks


Jenny Craig LogoOk, here’s a couple more tips and tricks that have helped me so far.

You can see all my “Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks” either by clicking on it in the “Diet & Fitness Drama” menu up above or by clicking this link:  “Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks Archive”

Buy a Magnifying Glass

The Jenny Craig entrées are designed to be easily and quickly microwaved, part of the reason that I like the program so much.  But, being a single guy who does not like to cook or keep any cooking related information in his brain, I can NEVER remember how long a certain entrée needs to be stuck in the nuker before it is ready to eat.

So, I have to read the box.  Which, sadly, is a problem for guys like me who are now in their mid mumblemumble and fast approaching mumble.   😉

2012-01-05, Week 3, Weekly Progress Photos


Progress Photos 2012-01-05 ©2012Yee Haw!  As you can see in the photo, this week’s hat is a Cowboy Hat in honor of my recent trip to the UCWDC Country Dance World Championships.

Each week I’ll wear a different hat just to keep it interesting and so that the photos don’t look too much alike.   I have quite a few hats so it should be a while before I repeat.  [grin].  Oh my!  This could be FUN!

2012-01-05, Weekly Stats — Week 3


2012-01-05-Ticker ©20122012-01-05-Table ©2012The main thing this week was that I had a trip out of town to go to the UCWDC World Championships (Worlds XX)  Because of that, I was not able to follow the Jenny Menu for the whole week.  I tried to make sure I chose the healthiest choices when eating at the event, but, I pretty much didn’t worry about not drinking Diet Coke.

All in all the numbers are not that bad.  Weight is headed down.  Inches are headed down.  Body Fat is headed slightly up / staying level.  But as soon as I kick in the exercise component, which starts this week, then the body fat numbers will drop as well.

All in all, we’ll chalk this one up as a “win”.

See ya on the dance floor!
