Day One of Cottage Cheese Diet

  I had 24 oz of cottage cheese today.  That is 720 calories

  I had a Stouffer's Lean Cuisine microwave dinner (Thai-style chicken) today.  It is 4g fat and 220 calories.  Now it is 1900 (7 PM) and I may have something later.  Maybe another dinner.
  At the LeanCuisine site I filled out a form and it says that my Body Mass Index (BMI) is 28.59 which I think means that I am that much over weight.  If I were 30 or more BMI I would be "Obese."
 

"You have an increased risk of weight-related health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Try to reduce your weight by 5-10 percent by choosing a low calorie plan."

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a generic measure used by healthcare providers to assess your health risks.

"Your estimated calorie needs, or Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) plus the calories for your activity level, to maintain your current weight is 2163 calories a day.

To safely lose weight you should use a 1800 calorie meal plan."

Ben Z. Abella, MD

  The following is from The Belton Star Herald.  I knew Doctor Abella.  My comments will be at the end.

"Ben Z. Abella, M.D, 80, Kansas City, died Sunday, March 4, 2007 at Research Medical Center from injuries sustained during a car accident.

He will always be remembered for his tremendous love for people, unselfish heart and dedication to his profession. He was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend who will be greatly missed..."

Time Change in U.S.A. Tonight

  Two years ago the Congress put into a bill that Daylight Savings Time would start  early this year.  So tonight at 0200, here in the United States, it will become 0300 and we will be out of sync with Canada and with Europe.
  My feeling has always been they should just leave the time alone and not mess with it period.

  I walked over to Publix and got some cottage cheese and a couple of frozen dinners.

I saw these birds on the way over to the store.

  The store is ready for Hurricanes now.  Here is the backup generator for the Publix store.  The report was that Publix Super Markets was spending $100 million to upgrade backup generator power for FL.

New Kid in Town

  I found a new site and they are still in beta at this time.  It looks first class.  Everything looks good and it all seems to work.
  You can go to the site and look around and read news and see videos and all sorts of things.  Plus you can also set up with just a few clicks and a few minutes your own page.  Then when x number of people click on your page you get money.  Plus you can write and post information on many subjects and post videos.  When people view your content you get credit for it.
  I did not check out any of the videos or audio stuff but I did check out two articles.  One was on National Nurses week and the other was on how people should deal with someone that is hard of hearing.  They were both short and to the point and excellent.  I would like to get Russ and Ken to read the one on dealing with the hard of hearing.
  It looks to me like these people got a good idea and they look to be pulling it off.
  I set up a page.  I have not put any content on it yet.

 

Cottage Cheese Diet

  I think I will eat cottage cheese and see if I can lose weight.  I like cottage cheese.  I am at 205 pounds now.  Soon as I can get to the store and get some cottage cheese I will see if I can lose 15 pounds eating it.
  I am doing some searching on the Internet and I see that cottage cheese has about 80 calories in fat-free (1/2 cup) and about 101 in 2% cottage cheese.

"Cottage cheese is coming into its own with consumer demand for healthy foods. Cottage cheese provides high quality protein and is also a good source of riboflavin and calcium. Most of the major brands are bringing out low fat versions and their ranges are expanding."  WeightLossResources.co.uk 

  I will let you know how I do on the diet.  I will take in some other food from time to time I am sure.  

PayPerPost Big News Coming Soon

"PayPerPost will be announcing some big news in the next few weeks... can you guys guess what it is?
We love a good rumor!!!
What do you think they will be announcing? How do you think the world will react? Get crazy.. get wild... you never know what we have up our sleeve."

online advertising

  My guess would be that Yahoo or Google is going to buy the company.  Over the years everytime I sign up for some service on the Internet Yahoo will come around and buy it.
  So my guess is their big news is that they are being sold to Yahoo or Google.

  Anyone else have any ideas or inside information?
  So far I have not been paid for the advertising that I have posted here for PayPerPost but it is not time yet.  They wait one month to make sure that the post you make is still on line a month later.
  So far with just five post I have made $49.50 and to an old man on Social Security that is a lot of money.

Free OnLine Backup

IDrive-E(http://www.idrive.com), a new offering in Online Backup space features secure free online backup for up to 2GB, Unlimited storage at $4.95. While it is a consumer class offering with easy automated backups, it sports enterprise features high levels of encryption, optimized data transfers, versions etc.

  This new service sounds excellent.  I like the fact that it is state of the art and it will do automatic back up of your data and they also do not care what sort of data and files your having them back up for you.
  I think this would be excellent for everyone with a lap top computer.

  I have not signed up yet. But I will be signing up.  I will start with the free service and see how that works out.    
  If you go with the pro plan and pay for a year in advance it is only $49.50 and you get two months for free.  

 "Drive-E performs a ' complete hands-free automated backup' for your files and folders."
  You folks know how I need any backup help that I can get.  I have never been good at backing up my data.  You would think I would learn from my errors in the past.  

  This was a PayPerPost.

Weather in Duluth MN

 

I got the following email from a friend.  The story is interesting and the photos are great.  There are many people living in FL that have never seen snow.  I have seen snow and photos like this and reports of the cold made me love FL.

"A couple of pictures I took this  morning in Duluth MN - Wednesday 3-7-07.  Sunny but around 6 degrees and lots of snow from the two feet of snow and twin blizzards s they had last week. First picture is the Peterbilt chassis with  digger/derrick.  They'd plowed their lots so I got the truck out ok - would have been a difficult task a few days ago however.

Second picture shows the engine compartment of the truck I was moving - had to brush the snow off to find the dip stick during the pre-trip. The wind had driven snow under the hood into the engine compartment.   No problems for me other than the cold.  I did not add anti-gel as the fuel I put in was a Diesel 1/2 blend and per the chart good to 30 below."

Working on Howard's Notebook

  I been working all day on Howard's Notebook. 

  It still needs a great deal of work.  If I can get it the way I want it ..I think it will be very nice.  It just takes a great deal of work.
  Howard's Notebook is using Joomla software and it is excellent.  If you have information you want to submit on a subject HNB maybe the place to submit it.  Many of you don't agree with my politics.  I get some of you saying I lie about the statements I made here on ShowMeBlog. 
If you want to express your point of view or try and point out how I have lied feel free to submit something.  If you just call me names I am not going to approve the post.  I used to do that..but I am tired of it.  But if you make an effort to support your position I will approve it.  You post does not have to be on politics.  But don't try and sell something.  Get your own site to promote your business.

  I am still at 205 pounds.  I been eating all day.  I been eating some junk food with a lot of salt.  I had some candy.  It is like I am trying to kill myself.  I know better.  My BP is 141/64 and I feel lucky it is not higher than than 141.  The doctor said with the medication I am taking it should not be over 140.
