My unRaid Server


Just building a new server for our media files. OS is unRaid 4.7. As I'm awaiting the Server case to come back into stock the components are currently sitting on the edge of the bar :-)




Due to the termperatures of the HDDs hitting > 40 degrees C during the pre-clear I've had to add some cooling :-)



The results of the cooling are HDD temperatures ranging from 30 to 34 degrees rather than 39 to 43 degrees.

Week 35 Fitness Summary

Week 35 (August 23rd->August 29th) was the recovery week for the first round of P90X. So no weight lifting and exercise was more cardio based. However due to work and other reasons I struggled to complete the week, mostly due to time. I did manage to complete at least some cardio, a mix of P90X and elliptical trainer. Overall though my body went into the week very fatigued so the more restful week had probably helped overall.

Workout sessions this week: 8
Total HRM calories burnt: 2,478 kcal

Total time exercised: 3hrs 49 minutes

HR Zone 1 time: 1hrs 23 min
HR Zone 2 time: 1hrs 37 min
HR Zone 3 time: 0hrs 42 min

Weight loss: 0.6kg
Body fat loss: 0.5%

Weigh In - 29th August 2010: 75.2kg; 18.5%bf

Some further weight loss this week together with the first body fat reading below 19%. Looking good!

So for this week, I weigh 75.2kg and 18.5% body fat. I'd like to get below the 75.0 barrier this month however that could be tough with only a couple of days to go!

Morning

Weigh In - 22nd August 2010: 75.7kg; 19.0%bf

Last week's weigh-in showed a weight gain of 0.9kg. I'm happy to say that this week has removed that weight gain! Unsure if last week was a natural variation, or if work intruded upon my routine enough to ensure I gained some weight. 

So for this week, I weigh 75.7kg and 19.0% body fat. I'd like to get below the 75.0 barrier this month however that could be tough and this week is a less strenuous week with P90X. I'm happy to see my body fat has not crept up!


Total loss since 7th March 2010:
Weight: 9.7kg
Body fat: 6.4%

Week 33 Fitness Summary

Week 33 (August 9th->August 15th) has seen a lot of variation on the weight each day. Overall I had 5 fewer exercise sessions than last week and burnt just over 1,500kcal less than last week. There is a slight discrepancy in the kcals recorded due to stopping the YogaX session after 25 minutes on the Saturday. On a positive note the ~3 hour difference in total time exercised compared to last week is almost all in Zone 1 or below zone.

Workout sessions this week: 14
Total HRM calories burnt: 4,992 kcal
Cardio HRM calories burnt: 1,643 kcal
P90X HRM calories burnt: 2,999 kcal

Total time exercised: 9hrs 32 minutes

HR Zone 1 time: 4hrs 18 min
HR Zone 2 time: 2hrs 43 min
HR Zone 3 time: 1hrs 18 min

Weight loss: -0.9kg
Body fat loss: 0.5%

Weigh In - 15th August 2010: 76.6kg; 19.0%bf

This week has seen my weight fluctuate up and down a lot, most likely due to getting out of my standard routine due to work commitments. At the end of the week the scales show I've gained 0.9kg but lost 0.5% body fat. I'll have to work on getting back into the routine this week and see what happens with the weight. Possibly I've put on some muscle and lost some body fat, or it could just be some natural variation. A little disheartening however overall I've still lost a lot of weight and body fat since March.

Total loss since 7th March 2010:
Weight: 8.9kg
Body fat: 6.4%
