I took the Vista plunge

I guess I should not have upgraded to Windows Vista so soon. I was up until 4am this morning, trying to fix problems with Vista and all the programs I had installed on XP. First off, I knew what I was getting my self into doing an upgrade over a clean install, but I did not want to pay more then $200 for the new OS, so I got Vista home premium for $169.00 CAD.

I Think I have most of it working now, but I don't find the new updated OS as fast, as a clean install OS; I should have known that would happen. Now that I have seen both Premium, and Ultimate, I would like to get Ultimate, I just need to save up the money. There are some things in Ultimate that I would like to have in Premium, like the 3D windows list, you don't get that in Home Premium.

A progress note about my diet, I'm now under 175lbs; down to 172lbs. I'm really happy about this, I was stuck at 178 to 175 for the longest time, and it was become frustrating. I still have a long way to go, before I'm happy with my weight but things are looking up right now. I think that eating an apple or two a day is really helping; also I'm not eating anything after 8pm. That with the gym and volleyball is really start to working out.

I'm also starting on some brain exercises, that is my next big goal, to improve all things that have to do with my mind. I just need to know were to start.

Not much to say today (but games for all)

Got into work just before 10am today, I did  not want to get into work early today, because  I have a late volleyball game at 8:00pm tonight, and I will not be going home after work, I will stay at work and try and get some more work done before I head out to the game. I hope my performance is better tonight, than Monday nights, I really sucked that night.

My Diet is going well, I don't know how much I have lost, however, I'm starting to see a change. Not too much of a change yet, and I don't think others can see it yet, but I can see a little change in my stomach, and I do feel a little bit stronger in "Group Pump" class at the gym. Food is the hardest part, and I'm using meal replacement shakes to help me not eat so much. I started out with Slim fast, then moved over to "Myoplex Original Nutrition Shake" (after reading a number of reviews about how bad Slim fast is for you). However I think I might move back to Slim fast. Why you ask? Well I have to say that I don't like the taste of the Myoplex, and it just cost too much money; $70 Canadian vs $8 Canadian for the Slim Fast (This will help me save money as well). I know that Myoplex is better for you, but I don't want make this diet feel like work, I really need to feel like, I like what I'm doing, for this to work, and for me to stick with it. I'm also starting to eat a banana and a apple between meals; now this is harder for me, because I don't like eating fruits, but I'm become accustom to it, I just don't know how long I will continue.

Oh, one last thing, related to Windows Vista. Last night I was looking into updating the look of my WordPress Blog, when I came across Jonathan's Shrine page. There he has instruction on how to install Windows Vista games on Windows XP. I tried it out, and it worked. Take a look.
