Workout Summary
No official workout today, but I will be going out for a walk after I'm done writing in my blog.

Couch to 5k, Week 1 Day 3
I plan to do day 3 tomorrow morning

Health Status
I had my official weigh-in this morning and I came up two pounds lighter on the scale. I must say that I could not have done it without CK and the encouragement of those I meet on this site. I just never really knew how many calories (and fat) I was putting into my body. I was going to the gym and walking/jogging on occasion, but I wasn't burning off more than I took in. So a big "thank you" to CK and my new CK friends.

Miscellaneous Ramblings
It's difficult walking into a house with hundreds of chocolate covered pretzels (only had three last night :clap. My wife is a leader for a girls church group called Missionette's and last night she received all kinds of goodies (chocolate covered Oreos ) from the girls she teaches. She came in with a few trays of cookies and left over bags of cheese curls and sour cream & onion chips. I have resisted for now , but who knows how long I will be able to hold out. I am hoping that the sour cream and onion chips will disappear by the time I get home from work, cus' if they don't, I'll make them disappear . Fortunately, we've been slowly giving the chocolate covered pretzels and cookies away to friends and coworkers.

One small tip that I was reminded of while reading obrat's blog this morning. An easy way to resize (make smaller) your photos is to e-mail the photo to yourself by right clicking on the file and choosing Send To -> Mail Recipient. If you have Windows XP, a Window should pop-up asking you if you'd like to make the photo smaller. You can click "Show More Options" to choose the size (small usually makes the average picture smaller than 100 KB). Put in your own email address and then you should be good to go.

Random Fact Sheet
-- My first name is Clifford. Sshh! Don't tell! (middle name is Scott). I was named after my Dad, so I am a junior.
-- Speaking of my Dad, when I was growing up, my Dad would always mix up son and Scott and wind up calling me Scun. He would do it a lot when he was mad, so I would just laugh and run away.
-- I enjoy baking and cooking when I have the time. I find it very therapeutic. I plan to bake some chocolate chip banana bread this weekend for our neighbors. I also make a mean Peanut Butter Pie. Too bad I can't eat it any more ... well maybe just one small piece
