Day 113 - Vietnamese Noodle Experiment

OK, I walked to a Vietnamese Noodle shop for lunch yesterday.  While I have almost no problem with the meat and the vegetables, the rice noodle turns out to be an bigger issue than I anticipated.  It got so bad that I didn't have dinner as I doubt my system could handle it.  Next time, I'll just ordered it without the noodles and go from there.  For me, I'm only having protein added latte for Breakfast and Korean tofu soup with fish for lunch and dinner.  Enough experiment for this week, and I have things to do next week.

I upped my morning walking pace  from 3.3 MPH to 3.5 MPH.  The adjustment seemed to be a bit hard on me than going from 3.0 MPH to 3.3M MPH.  Lets hope I don't injure myself while doing this. 

I'm having a blast leveling the gnome priest.  It turns out that farming lower level zone for pet is not the best way to level.  Leveling in level appropriate zone really helps.  One more level, and she'll get the shadowform.

Day 112 - Gnome Priest

This is Fidie, formerly a dwarf priest I created to hold all of the excess gems from my main character.  With the advent of Shattering, Gnomes now have priest class available.  Fortunately for me, I've already leveled 2 other cloth wearer, so the heirloom gears are already available.  move all of the valuable off from the bank toon to my other bank toon, delete the toon and then recreate the gnome priest.

Once again, modest improvement on my weight loss this week.  Being that this is holiday weekend, I feel good about the it.  I'll be heading out to get gifts for my co-workers.  Kind of funny that my family do not celebrate Christmas, but I felt obligated to give gifts to my co-workers.

I try something else today for lunch.  I went to the mall and have some Korean BBQ.  I partake some rice and noodles, and for a change, my stomach is not complaining much.  We'll see tomorrow how that pans out.

I'm currently grinding Argent Tournament to get that last couple of pieces of heirloom gears.  I'm actually thinking about consolidate my alts and delete my gem priest for her spot for my gnome priest.  Good thing I have a guild bank alt that's her own guild master.

Day 110 - Grinding Rep

Day 5 of Patch 4.0.3a.  After 3 different character got their Mr. Grubbs in 30 minutes or less, my warlock took 3 hours of solid farming in Eastern Plagueland to get hers.  My main character, Dianora is already maxed out with Justice Point and reputation with Worgen faction.  Now it's time to grind all other characters.  After that, I'm most likely going to re-do all of the quests before Catacalysm.

So after fitting with the old-new pants, I realized that I need new belt.  My previous observation is that I probably need belt size 44-46.  There is no such size.  So I opted for 42-44.  It's a bit tighter than I'm used to, and the belt is lodged at the first notch.  But that shouldn't be an issue for much longer.

Day 109 - Black Friday 2010

So Black Friday is upon us.  Normally if I want to shop for anything, I'd just shop online and avoid the headache of finding parking.  This year, I truly need new clothing, as my old one are not only falling apart, but way too large.  I may have to break my tradition and go into shop.

2 thoughts after I came back from shopping:

1. I'm almost ready to leave the big & tall store for my clothing, but not quit.  Currently my pants size is about 46, right at the edge.  I still can't find underpants of that size easily at normal store.
2. I can shop for shirts at normal store.  

I bought 6 shirts for work from Target and 8 underpants from the big & tall.  I'll buy the undershirts from Costco tomorrow.  I'm buying them not only because my current clothes are badly oversize.  They're literally falling apart, and I really need replacement.  In a couple of months, I fully expect to be buying new pants (though the shirt I can probably survive).

Surprisingly enough, my weight in number today is actually lower than yesterday.

Day 108 - Thanksgiving 2010

Sorry, this post came 1 day late.  I was busy leveling my main character's reputation with the new worgen faction and having fun getting new pets for all of my toons.

We didn't have a whole turkey this year.  Instead, we opted for seasoned turkey breast from Costco and cook everything else.  My NuWave got used to bake asparagus and the turkey breast.  I had 1 slice of turkey,with mash potato, gravy and 2 asparagus for lunch.  For dinner, I skipped the asparagus, as it was too fibrous.  We didn't have that much turkey left, so my brothers cooked up a pot of sweet and sour soup.  We'll see how much weight this adds up to.

Day 107 - Coffee!

So in our support meeting yesterday, I was told by the dietitian that I should be able to have 1 cup of coffee a day.  Making the most of it, I'm spending it on my morning latte (albeit, I probably need to pre-mix the milk and the protein powder).

The Shattering yesterday of Azeroth from patch 4.0.3a actually went a whole lot smoother than I anticipated.  By the time I got home, the server was up, and fairly stable.  The only mod that was badly broken was Routes which is not a daily use mod.  Of course I tried to check out as many new thing as I can, but my priority is to get the newest thing around, and that of course is the Singing Sunflower (or Brazie's Sunflower, the naming is inconsistent.  It's Singing Sunflower on the spell book, but Brazie's Sunflower when you put it on the action bar).  Took me forever to find it.

Here's what it looks like:

Yes, she sings (by Laura Shigihara) and cute as a button.
