2011 Goals June Update

For June the major changes occurred around the workout.  Deciding that I’m pretty much too weaksauce to do many of the CFE workouts I moved over to do the Starting Strength Regimen for a bit.

Diet:
Diet suffered a bit this month.  Especially from the stint I had in OC going back for a few graduations.  It’s apparent that I can’t really stick to a diet while I’m down south.  Overall just not a great paleo month.  I also tried to do the Starting Strength drink milk everyday.  I did 1 glass per day for about a week.  It didn’t seem to make much difference one way or the other.  Note that the program suggests 1 gallon of milk a day and I wasn’t going to do that.

Sleep:
Average Sleep for June: 6.24 hours.

Workout:
Got 13 in 30.  So a couple things really hurt the workouts this month.  The short stint back home limited the workouts.  I also pulled my hamstring (sign of old age?)  That was actually really crappy.  Took me out for about two weeks where I could only do upper body lifting.  I was expecting a slight decline though since Starting Strength cuts the workouts down to 3 times a week.  I will note that my lifting numbers did go up in the past month from what I could do when I was just doing the CFE workouts.  The concentration on doing the same lifting will obviously garner gains, but I’m glad it worked anyways even if it was only a bit.

Body:
Stabalized around the usual 12%-13% this month.  I’d like to see it move, but am unsure how I want to do it yet.  At least it isn’t going up.

Stretch:
10 times…what?  More than I worked out.  Nice!  Will try to keep it up.

Social:
15 times this month.  Staying pretty much on par.

F you Netflix

 Got this nice email from Netflix today.  This is after they raised prices earlier in the year.

We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans to better reflect the costs of each. Now our members have a choice: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan, or both.

Your current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:

   Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month

   Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming) for $7.99 a month

Your price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). You don’t need to do anything to continue your memberships for both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs.

These prices will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

Screw you Netflix.  If you’re going to do this work harder on streaming.  I could have been ok if you limited DVDs to 2 a month or something, but you lost your Showtime and Sony streaming and now you think this is a good idea?  Why would I pay you 8 dollars for 1 dvd out at a time when I can go to Safeway to those 1 dollar box kiosks.  Screw you guys.
