I recently tried the 41 Cologne in an Abercrombie & Fitch store and I was mesmerized.  It is rugged, subtle, and yet makes a definite statement about yourself.  While I still prefer Banana Republic Classic cologne for work because I believe overpowering aftershave or cologne can kill the entire office personnel even mice and cockroaches, I think A&F 41 Cologne is good for day time fun.  My evening and clubbing choice is A&F Fierce Cologne.  To this day, I still get compliments when I wear it during the boy€™s night out.

 am still using my iGallop.  I can€™t believe that six months have gone by.  My core is in a very good shape.  Since the last update on 11/28/07, I have lost another 5 pounds.  My diet has not changed much.  I am still staying away from rice, pasta, noodles, and bread.  However, I will indulge myself once in while.  I love bread and pasta so I allow myself eating them in a small portion once a week or so.  Chicken, turkey, tofu, and the chocolate soy milk are my main sources of protein.  The 40-minute workout on the iGallop is perfect for me every day.  It gets my heart rate up, strengthens my lower back, and tones my core area. I am going on a vacation for 3 weeks starting January 26.  It will be strange because I won€™t have the iGallop with me.  But normally, we walk ourselves to death when we are on vacation anyway, so I am not too worried about it.  No matter how much we promised ourselves not to do that again, we still dragged ourselves to every scenic spot, every shop, even though our feet hurt like hell.  Eating out will be the biggest challenge, but I think I am disciplined this time to eat well and healthy.

Some stats before I leave for vacation.  A reality check will be performed when I come back.

Weight:  142.5 pounds

Waist:  31 inches

BMI:  22.9 (I calculated my BMI here on MSN.)

Before I started the iGallop exercises:

Weight:  165 pounds

Waist:  34 inches

BMI:  26.6

I couldn€™t remember who recommended this product to me, but I am glad someone did.  The scent is light and refreshing.  It is gentle and pampers your skin.

This cologne for sure will get you a lot of compliments.  I know it because I wear it.

Just a few weeks ago, I was asking a sales person at Target if they carried any digital camera that could send photos wirelessly from a camera to a PC.  I upload pictures to my PC frequently.  Having to take the memory card out of the camera each time to perform the task is tedious; besides, my camera resets itself each time I take the chip out.  There has to be a better way.  And then, I found this – a wireless memory card.  I can now send pictures directly from the camera to the PC without any hassle.  It works as advertised.
