So today was my first day. It was a lazy day. All I really accomplished today was running some errands and doing my grocery shopping for the first week or so, and steam cleaning the carpets and all the couches in preparation for getting wally's new playmate bonnie this week from the track in memphis.

I'd just like to say that food prices are ridiculous right now. When the fuck did good food get so fucking expensive? And yes I do have to swear. I'm a demonstrative guy and hopefully you can appreciate that. All I have to say is I cant wait until the local farmer's markets start opening up and I can start buying local and fresh and cheap again. I think im gonna start buying local dairy as well and even forray into making my own fresh cheeses. I think it would be fun.

I didnt work out today, my legs were on the noodley side from yesterday's 30 mile scorcher through the hills of the pinnacle region. Tomorrow will be long intervals with the Dewon crew then off to do hill repeats with a few fast girls and a lot of slow guys (myself probably the slowest).

I learned an interesting fact today about tree nuts. People who regularily eat them have a 50% lowered risk of heart disease in life. Even if you eat one serving of them a week you can lower your risk by 30%. I discovered this while desperately trying to discover how many calories are in just one pecan.

As far as food goes today was fairly protien and carb oriented. I came right up to and hit exactly my 1500 calorie limit for the day. I think it might be wise to make rest days even lower to say 1100 calories and force myself to get creative with the foods I eat. Im feeling very good today, havnt had any nicotine what so ever and my mood has been very good the entire day.
