I love BCAAs. I used to get the goofy kind you drink with the very macho sounding names, but now I just get gel-caps. They"re much easier to deal with .

I weigh and record daily at the same time. I am a science nerd, so data is good. Its interesting to see the patterns. I realize that water and TOM can make a difference, so I don't sweat it too much if its up for a few days and one of the criteria are hit (TOM or maybe too much salt). Measurements get recorded every couple…

I feel happier, or at least on a more even keel. Also celebrating a bit of a fwoosh because the scale was down 3 lbs this morning after not budging for a week.

Anyonghasaeo! I just joined this group. Have been logging for almost a month now. I live in Seattle and often walk/run/play around Greenlake. Summers I camp and hike the Olympic Penninsula and North Cascades. Winters find me at Baker/Crystal/Stevens.
