LBL

7 miles at LBL this morning!!  I did it in 1:18.  I'm pretty happy with that considering I purposely held back a bit.  Bootcamp tomorrow morning is gonna have me sore as hell from a long layoff.  The Thursday morning run I have planned with Shan and Mark is going to be painful but it'll be good to run with my old pals.

The RESET I posted on Mar 26 was mine and Misty's first day of no meat.  We are attempting to go vegan.  Our good neighbor Mark has been all natural for a month now and has lost 25lbs.  What he's most excited about though is how much better he feels and how unbelievably high is energy level is.  His life has completely changed in a matter of weeks.  He also reports that his otherwise dormant libido has returned.  Misty and I have talked about doing this in the past but after literally seeing the overnight change in Mark that made up our minds.

So, I started out that Monday morning at exactly 200lbs.  We ate well all week but then pounded some beer Saturday and ate a bunch of veggie pizza and the next Monday I was up to 202.7.  That is my high of alltime.  Talk about a backslide!!  I got back on track though and was down to 195.1 yesterday morning.  After eating a bunch of peanuts and snacking on some chips and hot sauce (yesterday evening we looked at the ingredients of Julio's, our favorite salsa, and the last ingredient was the dreaded MSG) my weight was 197.1 this morning.   It's all good though.  I know it's going to be a bit of a roller coaster with the weight.  I do feel like I'm in position to dip below 195 by Friday morning.  That's the goal......we see!!!!
