midterm
As I was going through the Olympic Sculpture Park I came across a giant orange sculpture that was named "Eagle" created by an artist named Alexander Calder. At first I began looking at it and I saw no resemblance of an eagle at all, I couldn't figure out what it looked like to me. I got home and decided to do a little research on the artist and I came across a few interesting things. Alexander Calder was the inventor of the "hanging mobile". He also created quite a few other painted steel sculptures like "Crab"(also bears no resemblance in my mind to an actual crab) "Shiva" and "Le Halebardier". I decided to go back a few days later to try and see if I felt any different about the sculpture. Although it still isn't my favorite, I was able to get a look from a different angle that I didn't look at it from before and I was finally able to see the resemblance. To me now it looks sort of like an eagle in flight and I began to appreciate the design of the sculpture.

For my project I wanted to bulk up a little more and try and get back to my original weight. In 2005 I had a liver transplant and lost over half of my body weight which I slowly began to gain back until I started putting it off for about a year or so. I decided that this would be the perfect chance to actually set that goal for myself again so I'm hoping for somewhere around 20 lbs by the end of this.

Not much I can put week for week on this as it's basically Week 1: do some research on high calorie diets, Week 2: Order whatever I need for my diet. Week 3-10 increase my daily calorie intake by about 200 or so each day until I get to about 4500 a day.
