Up at 3:30 this morning. Ran 4.3 miles with 14 back-to-back hills at 2% incline. I know I'm getting in better shape, as evidenced by at least two things: 1) My heart rate drops at least 20 BPM within a minute of slowing to a fast walk, and 2) within an hour of running, I don't even feel like I went running. I used to die all day long after exerting myself for even 30 minutes.

Kind of let myself go a little bit yesterday, and went over my RDI. I'll just call it a spike day and go on. It's all about the drop over the long haul. I'm certainly not going to go spastic over fluctuations in my weight or my intake. I can't expect continuous and dramatic weight losses every day, when following a course of moderation. If I was back in the service, and that was important to me, I would be eating 1500 calories a day and burning off twice as much as that in exercise. I'm not going to do that, mainly because I wouldn't keep that up, once I lost the weight. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt!

The portable pull-up bar, that I put up over the door frame, is working out pretty good. Not dramatic results, but I'm doing 3 good pull-ups from a dead hang, up from zero when I bought it. Pulling this 216 lb. frame up to where my chin is above the bar, is no easy feat for me, and something I thought I would never experience again. The 'springing up, and lowering myself slowly' routine is paying off. I get down and knock out 10 push-ups whenever I think about it - but I'm trying not to think about it too often. :D
- Remember, it's not the number of breaths you take in this life that matter; it's the number of moments that take your breath away!
I hate when my foot falls asleep during the day, because that means it will be up all night.
