Monday the 17th Of the Low Carb Journey

So Monday the 17th of the diet and things are looking up.  My energy is starting to feel pretty good all of the time.  I think maybe my body is getting accustomed to the lack of carbs and compensating accordingly.  I had my first day back at the weights today and it actually felt pretty good.  I think the only thing that I need to really tighten up is my sleep schedule.

8:00am
Meal 1: Muslce Milk light protein shake
             Handful of peanuts.

12:00pm
Meal 2: 5 Boiled egg whites
             Side of broccoli.
             Side of Spinach

3:30pm
Meal 3: 2 grilled chicken breasts.
             Large green salad.
             Cup of decaf tea.

7:00pm
Meal 4: Fage non fat greek yogurt and tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

10:00pm
Meal 5: Large green salad with avocado, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and grilled chicken breast.

So I managed to get into the gym today for a little over an hour, hit the weights and 20 minutes of cardio.  I drank over my gallon of water and took my multivitamins.  I think things with the diet are kicking in as my body is definitely changing but Im also feeling my energy levels stabilize, and no real flutctuations in energy.  The only thing that i think is missing is sleep its just impossible for me to get the 7 or 8 hours that I think I need.  I am probably getting 4 to 5 hours a night which I know is not enough.  Well back to Long Beach tomorrow, with a little luck I can squeeze a nap in somewhere before the gym.  See you guys tomorrow.

Sunday the 16th...Back On The Low Carb Band Wagon!!!!

So I didnt get a chance to write on Saturday I was too busy eating like a pig and driving around Sonoma sampling wine at every possible opportunity.  Suffice to say that I ate way too much including but not limited to a breakfast burrito, wine, pizza, wine, beef stew, wine, grapefruit(s), wine, a huge sampling of appetizers, wine, massive fruit platter, oh yeah and finished it of with some wine.  So I welcomed Sunday to get back on track.

9:00am
Meal 1: Muscle Milk light chocolate.
             Handful of almonds.

12:00pm
Meal 2: Stout Burgers and Beers arugula salad with avocado, roasted tomatoes and quinoa patty.

3:30pm
Meal 3: Fage nonfat Greek yogurt and tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

7:00pm
Meal 4: White meat chicken and veggies from local Thai restaurant.  I asked them to reduce the oil and not add any additional soy sauce or unnecessary oil.  Did a great job on it and I will definitely be returning when Im hungry and in the neighborhood.

10:00pm
Meal 5: 6egg whites
             Side of turkey sausage.
Heres the kicker, I got the egg whites and the turkey sausage at Denny's.  Pretty funny but they have a new healthy menu where you can pick multiple items and create your own meal.  i give it two thumbs way up.

Back on the low carb bus and happy about it. Felt pretty sick and bloated from Saturdays eating.  The wine was also a little too much and left me feeling groggy.  Anyway got this whole week to get back on track and back to the grind.  Getting my new tattoo on Wednesday so Im pretty pumped about that.  Ill keep you updated. See you in the am.......

Thursday the 13th And The Low Carbs Continue

Calling it a day.  I have to wake up at 8 to get the staples removed from my back which means one thing and one thing only....back to weights tomorrow and no more tedious cardio sessions.  Thankful that today was Thursday and this week is coming to an end.  In fact Im pretty sure that this week couldnt get any longer, but I digress.  So I had a crazy day of running back and forth and multiple investor meetings.  Still managed to eat well but just couldnt find time to get into the gym.

9:00am
Meal 1:  5 Boiled Eggs
             Large decaf tea

12:30pm
Meal 2: Stout Burgers and Beers, Arugula salad, avocado, roasted tomatoes, and quinoa patty.

3:30pm
Meal 3: Muscle Milk light chocolate protein drink.
            Hanful of almonds.

7:30pm
Meal 4: Lamb chops.
            Hummus.
            Greek Salad.
            Eggplant.

11:30pm
Meal 5: Fage nonfat Greek yogurt with a scoop of natural peanut butter.

Like I said it was just a llloooonnnnnggggg day.  I have some business dealings that just dont want to go away.  Trying to keep all of the projects in place and moving in the right direction, but sometimes like today it just seems like my best efforts are not enough.  I didnt make it into the gym either which also annoys me, crappy feeling that on a 16 hour day you cant find 30 minutes to run into the gym and sweat a little.  Well bed time, hopefully Friday will bring some respite.

The Low Carb Quest in Full swing Wednesday the 12th

Wednesday the 12th was a good day for a number of reasons.  I woke up and I can definitely see a difference from the past couple of weeks.  Weighed in at 208.9 pounds which was a little lighter than I hoped I would be but I guess that is to be expected.  Had a ton of work to do around Hollywood today so I took the day of Long Beach and the chaos that is unraveling down there.  Clients all day and multiple restaurant meetings, at least I would have plenty of opportunities to eat.

8:00am
Meal1: Muscle Milk light chocolate protein drink
            One tablespoon of peanut butter

11:00am
Meal 2: Egg white omelette with mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
             Large green salad with balsamic vinaigrette.

3:30pm
Meal 3: Stout Burgers and Beers, arugula salad with avocado, roasted tomatoes and quinoa patty.
             Large cup of decaf tea

7:00pm
Meal 4:  Fage nonfat yogurt with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter

11:00pm
Meal 5: Large green salad with tuna, carrots, spinach, cucumbers, sprouts and balsamic vinaigrette.

Today was a great day for the diet.  I ate pretty much exactly what I planned on, drank over a gallon of water and had an amazing cardio session.  It was a very busy day at the office and at the bars and restaurants, not sure why, maybe the Lakers win had something to do with it.  Im happy that the week is wrapping up as Im flying up North to do some wine tasting on Saturday.  I think Ill have to move my cheat day to Saturday and get back on the low carb bandwagon on Sunday instead of Monday.  Follow me tomorrow on The Quest To Be My Best.......

Tuesday the 11th....Decaf Tea Was a Lifesaver

Was very light on sleep again last night.  Too many things to do not enough hours in the day.  Also I realized that 11 days into the New Years and as much as my diet was going well, I still had not started my Rosetta Stone, this was something I had to remedy tomorrow.  So back and forth again today, but hopefully some of the craziness is drawing to an end as all my leases are in place so now its up to the construction crew, designers, and architects to do their job.

9:30am
Meal 1: 5 Egg whites with swiss cheese and mushrooms.
             One cup of oatmeal.
             Decaf Mint Tea.  

12:30:pm
Meal 2: One Muscle Milk light chocolate.
             Handful of almonds.

3:30pm
Meal 3: Large green salad, with broccoli, cucumbers, spinach, carrots and olive oil, lemmon dressing
            One can of albacore tuna.

6:30pm
Meal 4: Fage nonfat yogurt with one tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

10:00pm
Meal 5:  Meeting at CheeseCake Factory.  I had the lettuce wraps and the healthy spicy chicken salad.

All in all I would say it was a good day.  I noticed today that my suit was definitely looser around the waist, I still have not weighed myself so Im not sure exactly what the scale will say but there is no doubt Im starting to drop some fat.  Im going to start weighing myself first thing in the am and keep a record of it so I can see how the weight loss is progressing or not.  Id still like to keep my weight around 210 but just lean up, I noticed if I go much below that I just start to look kind of lanky.  Time to get some rest and be ready for the next day of low carb madness as the Quest to be my best continues.......

Monday the 10th and Back To The Low Carbs!!!!

So its Monday and after an incredible weekend and cheat day of overindulgences I had to get back on the low carb bandwagon.  I knew this was going to be a busy week and I had a lot to get done before heading to Sonoma for the Winter Wine Festival.  Multiple trips back and forth from Long Beach to Hollywood today would definitely not leave much time for eating or preparation of meals so I had to get a little creative to stay on point with the diet.

7:30am
Meal 1: 5 Boiled Egg whites
            One cup of decaf tea.
I found that the little coffee shop next to my new restaurant sells hard boiled eggs.  This was a great find and now I can grab some boiled eggs on the go.  Its called Its a Grind.

12:00pm
Meal 2: 2 Grilled Chicken Breasts
             Large Greek salad with olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olive oil and lemmon dressing.

3:30pm
Meal 3: Stout Burgers and Beers time!!!!!
             Quinoa patty with arugula salad, avocado, roasted tomatoes, and lemmon, olive oil dressing.

7:00pm
Meal 4: Fage non fat yogurt with natural peanut butter.

10:00pm
Meal 5: Muscle Milk light chocolate protein drink.
             Handful of raw peanuts.

Wrapped up another crazy day and night.  2:30am and still have a proposal to finish before i can get to bed.  The diet was great today, energy levels high and 45 minutes of cardio felt amazing.  I cant wait to get back to to the weights, hopefully Friday ill get the all clear from the Dr.  Putting together an offer for a new nightclub in Hollywood this week so ill keep you updated on the progress, I think if I can get this under contract Ill have to call it a day on the projects or I am literally going to be down to 3 hours sleep a night.  Tomorrow the Quest to be my Best continues!!!!!!

Sunday the 9th....The Death of The Low Carb Week

Sunday morning finally hit and all I could think about was the things I had been craving all week.  I had no idea what to start with so I wandered through to the kitchen and started rummaging through the closets.  I had my goals for today, they were pizza, some type of Mexican food, and of course stout Burgers and Beer, no skinny style, bun and all!!!!

930am
Meal 1: Large bowl of Captain Crunch cereal with 2% milk
             Large glass of orange juice.
             Grapefruit.

12:00
Meal 2: Turkey sub from Jersey Mike's had to make it the large.
             Bag of salt and vinegar potato chips.

3:00
Meal 3: Stout Burgers and Beer, got the Goombah burger.  I cant even tell you whats in it but its delicious
check it out at http://www.stoutburgersandbeers.com/.

7:00
Meal 4: Jerry's Deli, Burrito, fettuccine stroganoff, and pizza. Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!

12:00am
Meal 5: Huge bowl of Captain Crunch cereal with 2% milk.

So I would say the second cheat day in my cheat day diet was a huge success.  Well at least it was a success from the standpoint of total food consumed.  If the whole idea is to throw your body for a loop and get your metabolism cooking then today will surely do the trick.  Took the day of the gym because I went every day and thought my body could use a little rest.  gonna try the gym tomorrow even though the Dr. told me to give it another week, lets see how bad an idea this is!  Ok see you guys tomorrow when its back to Low Low Carbs and the Quest to be my best!!!!!!

Saturday the 8th...Last day of Low Carbs

Didnt get a chance to upload this one yesterday and this is the first chance I've had today so heres the report for Saturday.  Started the day early at around 9am.  I had a ton of things to do and meetings planned pretty much all night.  Wanted to make sure I could end the low carb week up on a strong note and get a good cardio workout session in.

9am
Meal 1: One Muscle Milk light chocolate protein shake.
             Handful of almonds.

12:30pm
Meal 2: Stout Burgers and Beer for my Quinoa patty, on a bed of arugula, with avocado and roasted tomatoes

4:00pm
Meal 3: 5 Egg Whites with mushrooms and onions.
             Side of broccoli.
             Side of asparagus.

7:00pm
Meal 4: Fage non-fat yogurt mixed with tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

10:00pm
Meal 5: Yellow tail sashimi.
             Edamame.
             Salad with soy ginger dressing.

So this ended up being a crazy day.  I spent the whole day running around and working.  First the Law Office to deal with some clients, next the restaurant then from bar to bar.  Tried to squeeze in all of my meals and get in my 45 minutes of cardio.  Unfortunately due to an unfortunate key accident I managed to get in an hour and a half cardio workout.  How you might ask?  Well it would be 45 minutes on the treadmill, and then 45 minutes walk home because i lost my key and the only spare was back at my house..  Your probably asking why I didnt take a taxi or call someone, well for some reason I really really underestimated the distance and by the time I had walked 30 minutes it was too late to turn back.  Suffice to say it was an eventful day.  Oh and I got in my gallon of water.

Friday the 7th...2 Days Till Cheat Day...

Friday the 7th woke up and headed back down to Long Beach to work on the new restaurants.  Had to survive on 5 hours sleep again but for some reason I was not as low on energy as before, in fact I was not tired at all today, which was a good thing because the day just ended at 2:00am :)

8:00am
Meal 1: One Muscle Milk light chocolate protein shake
             Handful of almonds.


11:00am
Meal 2: 5 Lean Lamb Chops.
               Green salad with balsamic dressing.
               Small bowl of lentil soup

3:00pm
Meal 3: Stout Burgers and Beers Time
            Quinoa patty with fresh avocado, and roatsed tomatoes on top of a bed of organic arugula.

6:30pm
Meal 4: 2 Grilled chicken breasts.
            Side of hummus
            Side salad

10:00pm
Meal 5: 5 Egg white scramble with mushrooms and swiss cheese.
            Side of asparagus.
            Side of Steamed Spinach.   

Calling it a day.  Looking forward to actually getting a little sleep tomorrow.  Dont have to wake up till 10 am, 8 glorious hours of sleep.  Still cant really lift weights because of the little back surgery I had and the staples that are still in, but still managed to get into the gym and do 45 minutes of pretty intense cardio.  Not sure why my energy was pretty good today or why it varies from day to day.  One more day of low carbs and then I get to over over indulge in my cheat day.  Any suggestions that you have let me know, I'll be more than happy to eat whatever it is and let you know how delicious it is. Okay g-night guys catch you in the am when the quest to be my best continues......

Thursday the 6th of The Quest To Be My Best

Back to Long Beach and the craziness that is my life.  Working on my projects and trying to get three restaurants opened in the next six months is proving more difficult that I anticipated.  Its been an incredible amount of running around spending hours a day on the California freeways.  On a good note it looks like we may have another person interested in licensing our Stout Burgers and Beers Concept.  There has been quite a few headaches involving our Mexican Cantina project with the latest problem being the discovery that virtually the entire plumbing system will have to be replaced.  Anyway back to the diet and the Quest To Be My Best.....

8:00am
Meal 1: 5 egg whites with Swiss cheese and salsa.
            One cup of oatmeal.
            One cup of decaf tea.

11:00am
Meal 2: Large Greek salad, olives, cucmbers, feta cheese, olive oil and lemmon dressing.
            Chicken breast.

3:00pm
Meal 3: Muscle Milk light chocolate shake.
             Handful of almonds.

6:30pm
Meal 4: 5 Boiled Eggs
             Side of spinach, and side of green beans

9:30pm
Meal 5: 5 scrambled egg whites with mushrooms and onions
            Steamed vegetable mix

So wrapping today up, got in my 45 minutes of cardio and drank my gallon of water.  Felt a little bit better than yesterday as far as my energy was concerned.  Took a 45 minute nap during the day and it seemed to really help, I wish I could do that everyday.  This makes me think again how important it is to get the appropriate amount of rest, but as far as my schedule goes thats unlikely for at least the next six months.  Started my twitter account so that i could tweet my low carb meals as I progress throughout the day.  Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday, cant wait for the weekend and my next cheat meal.  Have a great night see you guys in the am.......

Wednesday Of The Cheat Day Diet...Low Carbs Plus Low Sleep=Low Energy

So I have to say that today my energy felt way of.  Im not sure if it was the low carb consumption or if it was the lack of sleep over the past couple of days but the midnight cardio tonight was a real struggle.  Im pretty sure that the minor surgery that I had yesterday did not help either.  So anyway, here we are at 1:00am gotta be up at 7:00am, like I said if I can do this so can you.

7:30am
Meal 1: 5 Egg whites with Swiss cheese and green Tabasco.
               One cup of oatmeal

11:00am
Meal 2: 5 Boiled egg whites
               Large serving of broccoli, and green beans
               One cup of decaf tea

2:30pm Stout baby!!!!!
Meal 3: Arugula salad with Avocado, roasted tomatoes, shaved parmesan cheese and olive oil and lemmon
dressing.
             One quinoa patty.

6:00pm
Meal 4: One Fage non-fat greek Yogurt mixed with natural peanut butter.

9:30pm
Meal 5: One Muscle Milk low carb light chocolate shake.

Im just about to call it a night.  I will have my current pictures up by the end of this week and I will also start
chronicling my weight as the diet progresses.  Going to make sure I remember my multivitamin tomorrow maybe that will help a little with my energy.  If any of you guys have any advice Id love to hear it.  On a good note, the cheat day is still working as far as my cravings go.  I can honestly say I have no real desire to eat anything that is outside of my diet so thats a great sign.  Tomorrow the quest to be my best continues..........

Tuesday the 4th.....Happy Birthday To Me

Woke up this morning to literally 100 notifications of texts, emails, and facebook messages saying Happy birthday, so obviously I started the day with a huge smile and I have not looked back since.  Headed back down to Long Beach to look at the demolition site that is supposed to be my new restaurant.  No wonder the hair on my face is all falling out (alopecia, but thats another story)

8:00am 
Meal 1:  5 egg whites with a little swiss cheese and mozarella.
              One cup of oatmeal

12:30pm
Meal 2:  Large Greek salad with olives, cucumbers, and chicken breast, olive oil and lemon dressing.
             Cup of decaf tea

3:30pm
Meal 3:  Nonfat Greek Fage Yogurt mixed with natural peanut butter
              Cup of decaf tea

6:30pm
Meal 4:  Yellowtail sashimi.
              Small piece of grilled chicken.
              Edmame.
              Bowl of miso soup.        

10:00pm
Meal 5: Muscle milk protein drink light chocolate.

All in all a good day for the diet and the gym.  Had a great workout, did full lower body focused on major
muscle movements.  Had a really great birthday dinner at Katana, amazing Japanese restaurant.  Got my full
gallon of water in and added a multivitamin to the daily regiment.  35 today so Im feeling very motivated to get into the best shape of my life.  Goodnight, talk to you guys in the am.

Monday the 3rd.....Back to Reality and Back to Low Carbs

Not sure about you guys but today was back to work for me which means there is barely even time to think about eating let along jam my face with unprocessed low carb fare.  Im doing a couple of projects in Long Beach which is about a 45 minute drive from Los Angeles or 1 1/2 hours depending on just how painful the traffic happens to be on any given LA day.  These meals are all quick fix the longest was lunch at Wokano and even with that I was in and out in under 30 minutes.

7:30am
Meal 1:  Muscle Milk protein shake Light chocolate.
              Kind Bar, pick these up at Starbucks, they are pretty delicious and fairly low in carbs and calories.

12:00pm
Meal 2:  Had about 20 minutes to grab lunch so I ran into Wokano, Great Sushi place, popping up in
             a couple locations around southern California.  Tossed back a miso soup and a sashimi salad.  The
             salad was very fresh, with seaweed and an assortment of fresh raw fish, with a little soy dressing.

3:30pm
Meal 3:  Ran back up to Los Angeles for another meeting regarding a bar/lounge in LA.  Stopped by my
             burger joint called Stout Burgers and Beers.  You will be hearing a lot about it on here.  Not just
             because Im one of the owners but also because Ive made a low carb burger plate there that fits
             perfectly into the diet.  Its a bed of arugula, which I top with a quinoa patty, avocado, and tomato.
             Its a pretty balanced meal with the nutrition from the arugula and the quinoa.  Quinoa is a very
             nutrient dense food which tastes incredible when prepared properly.

7:00pm
Meal 4: Im going to let you guys into another little snack secret of mine.  It tastes amazing and has high
             protein and low carbs.  I take a small container of Fave nonfat Greek Yogurt and mix it with a
             tablespoon of natural, no sugar added peanut butter.  Im going to start to include the nutritional
             info on these meals at least the more popular ones.  This is a great meal because of the high
             protein, low carb content.  I also like it because it is a good source of calcium and healthy fats.


10:00pm Gym Time: Of to the gym now.  Im going to train chest and biceps, same format as usual for me
             high intensity medium weight, main key for me now is to keep my heartrate up the whole time
             because i dont have the time to do cardio as well as weights.  Be back around 11:30 or so then
             Ill post my last meal and wrap up my day.

12:30am
Meal 5:  Just got back from the gym and scrambled up 6 egg whites with one yellow, mushrooms and onions,
              and topped it of with green tabasco, my personal favorite.

So today was a really good start to the week.  I think yesterdays cheat day gave me tons of energy and stored plenty of carbs for me to start burning.  I drank my full gallon of water with another couple bottles at the gym.  Still trying to figure out my sleeping schedule its the only thing that I cant really figure out due to how hectic my schedule is.  Birthday tomorrow and biopsy surgery on a mole :/ gonna be an interesting day thats for sure, also supposed to be getting lease on my new Stout in Long Beach, Ill keep you updated.

Sunday the 2nd....The First Cheat Day of The Cheat Day Diet.......No Low Carbs Here!

Woke up this morning and started putting everything together for my trip back to Los Angeles.  It was about 8am but since there was so many things that I wanted to eat I decided to start immediately.  I looked over at the minibar and the accompanying junk on the top of it and the first thing that caught my attention was........Chocolate Chip Cookies

8:30am
Meal 1: Chocolate chip cookies, not sure what the brand was but there was 4 servings of 2 cookies each in
             the  bag, needless to say within about 20 minutes there was nothing left but a few crumbs, too small
             for me to get a good hold of.  I washed this down with an Izzy drink, this is a carbonated drink that is
             half fruit juice, half water, and one hundred percent delicious.

11:00am
Meal 2: Had about 30 minutes until i got on the plane and saw a Mexican Place called Burrito 360.  It was
             one of those places where you pick your vessel ie a burrito, a bowl, or a salad. Then you pick your
             meat, then you pick your flavors.  I opted for a burrito with chicken, spanish rice, guacamole, sour
             cream, shredded cheese and salsa, absolutely mouth wateringly good!!!!!!!

2:00pm
Meal 3: Got of the plane and passed out for about two hours.  When I woke up I walked through to the
             kitchen and started looking at things that I wanted to eat but had resisted.  The first thing that caught
             my eyes was rum and raisin ice cream....mmmmmmmmmm..... so good ater the whole mini tub from
             Haagen Dazs i felt pretty sick and lay on the sofa to catch up some emails and other business related
             memos's.

6:00pm
Meal 4: Starting to feel some hunger pains I picked up the delivery menu from Jerry's Deli.  Not sure how
             familiar you guys are with this restaurant or the menu but suffice to say its HUGE, like 10 pages
             of complete yumminess.  I finally decided on an order of pancakes (had been craving them all week)
             followed by an NYC White Pizza ( no tomato sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese)  it was
             everything I hoped it would be.

9:00pm
Meal 5: Finally about 9 I started to feel a little hungry again so I jumped in the car and visited the local
             Starbucks, pretty easy with two now on every street.  I got a cinnamon scone and a grande chai
             latte.

This was my first recorded Cheat Day of The Cheat Day Diet.  Im pretty happy about how it worked out.  i felt like I ate more or less everything I had been craving all week.  The theory here is that I will have no desire
to eat anything else other than my typical low carb high protein fare for the next six days.  Stay tuned, tomorrow ill let you know if the cravings are gone, as of right now I feel totally satisfied and pretty full.

Saturday the 1st, the low carb quest continues........

Happy New Years Everyone!!!!!!

So after last night and the craziness I had to sleep in.  First meal was not till late and only managed to get three meals in because of this. I was also  a little hungover or a little tired or possibly a little of both.  On a good note I got to the gym again for my cardio.  It was definitely a struggle but still managed to pound out 45 grueling minutes.

1:30pm
Meal 1:  3 Egg white omelette  with mushrooms and swiss cheese
              One cup of decaf tea
              One cup of oatmeal

5:30 pm
Meal 2:  Larger green salad with balsamic vinaigrette
              One grilled chicken breast
              One decaf coffee

9:30 pm
Meal 3:  Crab and avocado salad
              6oz Filet Mignon
              Side of Steamed Spinach

Finished up my gallon of water and got to the gym.  Ready for my cheat day tomorrow when i will get to eat all the carbs I can consume.  Leaving for LA in the morning, been a great time in Vegas but I have to get back to work and back to normalcy.  This was a pretty good diet for the three days i was there, not perfect but at least shows the flexibility of this diet when you can eat in compliance with the diet while dining out for every meal.  Will post pics of myself by the end of this week, its my birthday on Tuesday, 35, the whole motivation behind the diet and the get fit plan.....

11pm.....Just putting this in here out of interest.   So I went to the Jay-Z and ColdPlay concert for NYE at the new Cosmopolitan.  Check this out....surprise performances by Beyonce, Kanye, and Memphis Bleak.  I have to say it was the most incredible performance I have ever seen.  Jay-Z was absolutely unbelievable put on the the most unforgettable show ever and stayed and performed for an extra 45 minutes.  Ill post some pictures so you guys can see I was literally 10 feet away from them...

I cant lie there was three grey goose soda's in there also.

Great Day, diet was fair, got in my gallon of water and stayed up way past my bedtime..
