Fabulous Spreadsheet

Jared (my brother) has outdone himself and set up a very functional (and even readable) tracking spreadsheet.  We're using Google Docs, and he's currently publishing it at www.jaredpassey.com.  I've linked it permanently over there on the right.

It's something that I'll update my info on a weekly basis, and they can do the same as we're all set up as editors to the document.  

Along with the weight, we're also using a nifty device to measure BMI as well as Body Fat %.  Yes, the Omron HBF-306!  (also provided by Jared)  Ryan, anytime you want to come up here and put your hands on this thing, you can get a reading too!  The cool thing about this is that after you enter in your information, you hold the handles, gripping the electrodes, and press start.  it sends a (hopefully) low-level voltage through your body and tests how it's received at the other end.  evidently electricity travels differently through body fat than through bone, and muscle, etc.  Pretty slick.  

If I could just get my eyelid to stop twitching after using it!  
(just kidding)
