Day 3:

Ate more than I would of liked to admit today,

Breakfsat was two pieces of raisin bread toast (P), and shortly after a plain bagel with cream cheese and turkey. Then I had some "Truffulls" or something like that bars, supposed to make you not as hungry.
For lunch, had a bowl of that soup again, and a bag of sun chips, some pasta salad, and another set of those bars.
For dinner, made some cheese tortellini, with sausage and pepper sauce. Served with pita pizzas, Hummus, Spinach, Red and Green Peppers, mushrooms, feta cheese. had a big huge glass of naked juice with it too.

Todays mood is rather dejected, not a fan of work today, hoping tomorrow and the day after will be easier.
Hoping Dieting will feel easier too.
They say I think it's 21 days in a row, and something becomes habit? Today is 1/7th of the way there.

Day Two:

Yesterday, I started the morning off with some raisin bread french toast (P) and an english muffin (P). Had some neutella on the muffin too.
For work time, I had a bowl of the Zesty Sausage Potato soup, My spurge for the day, some cheese crackers, I tried to make a sugar free coffee, thought it tasted nasty.
Went home, had some Jello Boston Cream Pie SF (P) and the rest of the spinach salad (A) and some Organic Annie's Ravioli (A).

Moods were pretty down, went out and bought a new pair of walking/hiking shoes.
We've had rain for the past couple days, so I hope when it clears up, I'll get us out on the trails again.

First Day



Thus ending Day One:

Also in mind, I've considered recording everything I eat, and a sort of budgeting way.
(A) All, (P) Partial,
For Lunch, We had some Tandoori Naan(A), with Hummus (P) Cucumber (P) Carrots (P), and a Spinach Salad(A) from the store.
I had a bottle of water, and a Chocopie (P) with it.

For A mid day drink, I had a Cappuccino(A) thingy, Fridge Section of the store, needed some caffeine, cutting out the soda and all.

For Dinner, There was some Naked Blue Machine juice(P), another bottle of water, 1 & 1/2 fillet of Tilapia(A), Coated in Panko(P), fried in a very small amount of oil. Also had a rice ball,(A) with some Furikake(P), Surprisingly sweet. and an Asian style warm bun with Azuki bean paste(P) in the middle. Yum!

I'm still motivated today, and I hope I don't use it all up =P Lifestlye changes, Not just like a "This week Fad" I assume take more than just good intention.

Wonder how I'll handle at work... Might be a little tricky with all the temptations abound. I'm sure my boss will be happy with my lack of Grazing. Or at least my attempt at not doing it so damn much.

Ugh...



So in the most recently I discovered I've gained about 50 lbs.
Yikes!
It's one thing when it's ten, or well, even twenty, but man oh man, I added a 1/4 onto my total weight. Yuck!
So here's somewhat like my "Battle Plan" To shed some pounds, because I cannot allow this to continue!

Being too, that since this is a blog, I can check back, see progress, and keep myself motivated.
So here's kinda my "Checklist for success"

  • Only drinking water, and Juice. (Juice: http://www.nakedjuice.com/ )
  • Completely cutting out soda, lattes, milkshakes, ext.
  • Eating as much "Fresh" "Unprocessed" foods as possible, Fruit, Veggies, ext.
  • Bread is still allowed, so is pasta, but doing it in a way thats healthy, wheat when possible, flat breads, pitas.
  • I'm planning to cut meat out at lunch, stick mostly to hummus and something.
  • Eat a meat dish for dinner, Chicken, Fish, or Beef (rare on the beef)
  • Use whatever veggies I don't use for dinner items for breakfast Omelets
  • No Bacon, Sausage, for breakfast. Maybe a slice of ham lunch meat style.
  • I'm still allowing sauces to be premade, but I'll thoroughly look through the label before it comes home.
  • Still allowing one night a week to be "Go eat out and enjoy" (Special occasions may occur)
  • I'm also looking into a lot of Asian foods as well, Bentos excite me
  • Cheeses, I'm allowing Feta, low fat Mozz, and other than that, we'll look at labels.
  • I'm also planning to record recipes.
So thats the battle plan of currently, and I'm planning to begin executing it as soon as I go to the store today!

I feel bad, because I love the pita's a store about... 30-45 minutes drive away has, but I really HATE to drive that far for ONE thing. And I really don't want to go shopping for clothes or anything like that, especially since I'm planning to lose weight!
So I may have to experiment with some of the store brands, see how that goes.

I wish you all well, I know this is a completely opposite direction for a "Gamer's" blog.
I haven't really had much to screen shot in warcraft lately. *Shrugs*

Tuesday, the perfect day to blog.

So out on the hunt again, got quite a bit of stuff done this week. Got my R-A-F's all up over 62. The Druid's LW is already over 400. She's almost 66 too. I really want to push the rogue and the paladin this week, since they're both ready for northrend trades, but need to get that level so they can get them. Plus too, at 65 I can finally open those damn'd lockboxes that are driving me mad.

My rogue will be having much time spent on her too, thats for sure, JC is a HUGE money maker, Zomg. I'd never imagine.

I also must admit, I am going to have to buy those adorable plushy windriders. And I can't wait for the pet! So CUTE!
Ugh, now I'm acting like a woman.

!!




I was down farming Blasted lands for lockboxes and mithril here on Direlyn, found 3 rares!

Was on the shaman, found this rare after I farmed my way out of the Yeti cave after a server restart.
I also was really lucky this past week, got two raptor nests. Did I mention I'm a minipet whore?

First outland rare for this paladin, He didn't drop anything good, some plate vest with spirit. ugh.
And the other raptor nest I found! Woo!


So I've definatly done a lot of thinking about the new server changes up and coming. I'm excited to know the costs to produce some goods will decrease, and supply will increase from cooldowns being removed, overall, reducing the price of the good/service.
Also: When price decreases, quantity demaned should increase. So in theory, if you could only sell 1 Titiansteel bar a day, because you could only make that, and make 100g. If now you can make 2, and sell them for 60g each, you'll increase profit. Not per item, but total revenue.
So really the question will become, how long does it take to collect the required materials?
24 Saronite Bars?
6 Titainum Ore?
3 Frozen Orbs?
Or the Eternals themselves....
If Frozen Orbs are selling for suuuuper cheap, which I doubt they'll continue to be when the use for them explodes, (Hence, this is also saying, buy those now before increased demand, and constant supply remains.) However, If the price of frozen orbs goes back up to the 100g they once were, I see people abandoning this sort of trade off. And heals and tanks reap all the eases in the world.

I'm very interested to see what happens to the market.


Valentines day decorations can really get creepy >_>

Refer A Friend, Lots of Spoils.

So due to a super awesome amazing concept from blizzard, I now have 10 characters, and not a 1 of them is under level 60.
Yesterday alone, I got 4 characters to 60. Granted, they're a little ... naked... at the moment, and outland quests can be a little hard when they're done in SM gear... but I'm working on that.
I've gotten a Druid with LW/Skinning, a Pally with BS/Mining, a Rogue with JC/Mining (She's already cutting northrend gems) and a Hunter with Mining/Skinning. I worked with the hunter first, got pretty lucky, Found a raptor nest for another cute hatchling, tamed a rare Zaricotl. So now her skinning and mining is ready for outland related activities.
I have the Druid just about to start in Thick leather, but she's gonna be able to skin up most of these things to level her own skinning.
The Rogue got to explore the guild bank in a joyous way, and now is ready to craft northrend gems. Her mining hasn't been leveled yet, and with that which she gathers...
The paladin has just started on Mithril, and has her own mining to level. I'm really banking on 25 arcane crystals, and I'm gonna try transmuting on my masta, seeing if I can get a few extra bars, tehe!

So this has been fun at least, after all this chaos, soon the actual leveling will begin, oh boy!

I'm obessed with finding rares...

I find myself with not the same amount of time as I used to, I have recently really enjoyed hunting rares. Few of the ones I got were on such a surprise I didn't get a picture of them in the beginning, King Krush, Skoll, I found the War maiden again last night on my shammy. Got a nice belt for my warrior, finally no more +35 stam belt no other stat waste of a slot belt, lol. I'm a little over half way to getting the warrior his epic flying, been farming quite a bit as well. I really hope I get a few bites on a few of the items I've gotten from these rares I didn't gobble up for my alts lol. I think it'd be crazy if I were to ever get the frostbitten or bloody rare achievements, and yet it's something I aspire to have.

The raptor pets are also on my to do list lately, they're so cute! Don't have any extra hands though to help me farm the ZG ones. Oh well, what can you do?
Earn 100000g to throw it?
I did earn the bread winner achievement, and the 2000 quests completed on my mage, that was nuts.
