Weigh-in & FMF - Dr. Demento edition

So, yeah. I weighed in at 199.0 this morning. Would you believe that I was HAPPY about this? I was, because it's actually down 2 lbs from last Friday, and a whopping seven since Monday. Of course, Monday was all fake weight, my body's way of saying "Dude--What the hell?!" about the MS150. Still, it's kind of nice to watch 7 lbs fall off in 5 days.

Also, I'm focusing back on weight loss around here again, now that I don't have a specific event to train for. I created a SparkPeople account, and I really like the site so far. In fact, I think it may be the best diet/weight-loss site I've ever used. The calorie counts are reasonable, the site's easy to use, and the meal plans contain foods I would actually eat. And it's completely free!

This week, I just recorded everything I ate, rather than try to hit the target range...man, do I eat more than I thought! I mean, I knew I wasn't eating weight-loss calories, but it turns out that I regularly eat between 2000 and 3000 calories/day. And that's when I'm paying attention. Lord knows what it's been like for the past 3 months, when I've just been eating whatever/whenever. Yikes. Anyway, I'm following one of their meal plans to the letter today, and hoping to end the day at about 1880 (they set my range at 1600-1950). We'll see.

As for music...I was listening to a podcast the other day that features "podsafe cycling music" at the end, and the featured song was "Code Monkey". I'm not a programmer, but I still got a kick out of it. So then I went looking for Code Monkey, ended up at Thing a Week, and well...today's music theme is novelty songs.

UPDATE: Links/files removed.

One Voice - Gear Daddies Two-two-two songs in one! The novelty is the bonus track.

If I Had a $1,000,000 - Barenaked Ladies

Re: Your Brains - Jonathan Coulton this one cracks me up.

White 'n Nerdy - Weird Al

And the one that started me down this path:

Code Monkey - Jonathan Coulton

Right-click, save as, braaaaaains. :)

If you like Jonathan Coulton, try "First of May" (not with any kids listening) and "Pod-Safe Christmas Song." Both are a little further out there, but hilarious.

yeah, I liked the pod-safe christmas song...I don't think I've gotten to "First of May" yet. :)
