(no subject)
Aug. 16th, 2009 01:44 pmLet's see. I've been using The Hacker's Diet Online chart and figured out how to use the program so that I can keep track of where I am and *should be* on my journey to 150 lbs by March 18 (just before my 45th birthday, yikes!). Right now I'm edging up past the median progress line, which means I really have got to get serious about monitoring what/how much I eat, and do the exercise.
But I am such a slug. I have been doing some stretching on my own (not a huge amount). My muscles are so easily made sore it's not funny. And as vital as I think Pilates is to making my core abdominals and back muscles strong (and even two sessions helped, believe it or not) I simply cannot depend on my schedule--ie children--to make it easy for me.

Timeline book for writers?
Aug. 16th, 2009 03:03 pmJust thought I'd mention this product. It's aimed at homeschooling families, but it just occurred to me that it might benefit writers with complicated timelines, too. http://www.addacentury.com/ ; and http://www.addacentury.com/product-faqs.html ; There are stickers for different categories, too (war, art, science & tech, etc) that can be applied.
It's a time line book (looks like a scrapbook adapt) where you can make as detailed notes as you'd like. It doesn't have to be earth-based, either, and I think the dates could easily be fudged or something for a completely imaginary world. Excellent product for writers with very complicated worlds, or who are writing a series and need to see connections between different aspects of their society, and what's important to that society.
