Day 4

Not much to report today, woke up later than I'd planned and just didn't have it in me to cram in a quickie. I have however decided to stop off at a GNC and make a few purchases. Namely some protein powder and electrolytes. I have a friend who I've reconnected with who is an authority on all things healthy (my clogged arteries are rejoicing). He seems to have the scoop on all sorts of health related topics and I will no doubt tap him as a resource. Eventually I'll press him on details for where I'll find the fountain of youth. Its supposed to be in Florida, but I hear Jane Fonda's charging a kings ransom for a taste.

One of my biggest obstacles I have to consider is my diet. I love to cook and take a "deny myself nothing" approach to my nightly culinary masterpieces. I have a tendency to go a bit high calorie with unrestrained amounts of sour cream, or whatever is called for at the time. My rationale is that I won't cut corners on taste but will eat less of it. Yeah, right. What's really needed here is a restriction on booze consumption. All the empty calories are as much to blame as anything else. But I am convinced that it is a major contributor to my present state and am grudgingly reconsidering its place in my life. You might say "anything in moderation." I'd say, "have you met the Missus?".
