Figure Painting Total - February

I finally got a Bommerz over da Sulphur River. It only has 6 figures - planes, and 4 of those are Orks. I look forward to playing it. If it is even passable, I should be able to paint up the planes and get a few in the painted column.

I was also able to get my hands on two of the Games Workshop painting handles. I've heard good things about them, so anything that makes it easier for me to start actually getting some paint on the figures has got to be a good thing.

Pokemon Go! -- level 25

I won a raffle for an ipad mini back in September. I don't use it for much, as I only use it with wifi. But I am playing some games on it. Pokémon Go is one of those games.

I joined team Mystic when I got the chance. My daughter, who had been playing since it launched up here, had joined team Instinct, and my wife is on Valor. They both have data plans on their phones so they are able to play it more than I, although my daughter isn't playing much anymore. My wife still plays to keep ahead of me.

I'm liking it enough to keep playing it to keep my streaks alive. Currently, I've only caught 164 separate Pokémon and seen 272. I've only used my coins to level up my bag and storage and can now hold 450 Pokémon and 400 items.

Are you guys still playing? What teams did you join?

Wii Fit - finally 270

It took much longer than I thought it would, but I finally crossed the 270 pound mark. I had been close to it a few times, being sub 271, but was never quite able to drop enough to get below 270. I went up slightly with the trip to Disneyworld, had worked it down to almost 270 by the end of the year, and the spiked again with the holidays at the end of that year.

Last year I maintained a weight between 270 and 280 pretty steadily. I still haven't been exercising enough but have been aware of my portions. With the holiday eating from Christmas and New Year's, I started this year at slightly over 280.

Since then, I have been slowly losing weight again. I've been inspired by Penn Jillette's book Presto! about his weight loss. Not inspired enough to just eat potatoes, mind you. I still fluctuated a few pounds here and there, but finally got down to 269.6 pounds on Tuesday. So, I am a year behind, but am still going to try to push for a goal of 250 for the end of the year.
