June 9,
Heh, here is me pushing the join button days after the cut off.
Tracking - I been tracking but I got to get more concise about it.
My wife is on a "fad" diet. She is losing weight but she doesn't feel good.
I think she is going to have to "recover" from that diet and I can only think that means tracking.
Yesterday was Buddy's birthday. He is nine now. He has developmental constraints. For all that his smile and laughter is plenty enough to charge up my life force. Went camping with him and his family.
I have memory of sublime moments.
Buddy's sister addresses me as "Grandpa Bob."
I am not really her Grandpa.
She says "Grandpa Bob, are you playing Buddy a concert?"
Buddy was sitting kind of next to me but kind of facing me and I was playing him my Estudio collection. Buddy gets animated when I play music for him.
I am always charmed by it. I think I gave him a good birthday.
Buddy's mom is trying to push her family in the direction of healthy diet.
Family is a bit resistant. Buddys brother had a stomach ache from pizza. A rock in his gut. I know the feeling. You know the feeling.
C'mon guys. Let's develop an appetite for salad!
But Grandpa Bob better not get overbearing. You know how well that will work.
These days I am on a longevity diet.
Young people can't relate to it. They be all like "why?"
Years ago I had a cough but no symptom of cold or flu.
I went to the doctor and he took blood. The lab say it was so saturated with lipid they couldn't even read for much else. I ain't no scientist but I say lipid is pretty much the same as blood fat. Heh! Even my blood was fat! That was more than ten years ago.
I am more or less happy with my fitness and body shape these days. I don'rt really have the body shape that men admire, not really a body builder. I got more of the look of an endurance athlete.
Buddy's mom kind of holds me up as a dietary and fitness goal to her family.
Dad, he wants football players so bring on the meat and potatoes.
But it ain't working and potatoes can't be potato chips.
I got my mountain bike. It goes with me everywhere.
I rode on a trail called Continental Divide Trail.
Dad seen my bike and got to looking sideways at it. He told me about the mountain bike he built in the days of his youth. Heh, he is half my age.
He has still got that bike he tells me.
I wonder if that guy will dust it off.
(horses can go on it too)

@bocasdelgrandpabob beautiful picture...and as my mom has always said..better late than never! You are an amazing inspiration to your family...people learn more by example...and you are giving them a healthy example. Way to go turning your “fat blood” into healthier blood I’m trying hard to be the healthy example around here, but a certain someone just doesn’t pay enough attention and is very resistant to healthy eating. Hopefully it won’t be too late before he catches on. Have a great weekend!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES ✅ 30 minutes swim + 20 minutes in the batting cages + 30 mins walk
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES ✅ easily - excellent day
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES ✅ absolutely everything

Had a great day yesterday! As it's the weekend I can put more into the exercise part and after the batting cages - my appetite was kinda wiped out. I also went out to a bar with friends later in the day - but didn't drink. I felt amazing for that and now here I am on Sunday morning awake bright and early and feeling great. I might skip the alcohol more often - it feels fab and I am looking forward to Monday morning's weigh-in!

Another x3 .... doing well so far and it's spurring me on. I am planning more swimming + bowling today.
