Day 1

So day one is in the books. The 1st day is normally a breeze; the complication came from having company last night.
Recording everything you consume when you are enjoying an Afghan feast is difficult to say the least.
(The feast wasn’t really Afghan as my wife and I did the cooking and stuck to the usual hodgepodge theme)

Below !OBAMA!

hopefully looking at the video below you can dissect through the trickery. Fox news managed to give crazy rev manning air time while trying to come across as defenders of obama. SMH!

21 DAY THEORY

They say with 21 days of solid repetition we can create habits around what we desire. 21 Days…. That’s quite a long time when u think about it.
I have to admit I am blessed with halfway decent will power, that being said, one goal has continued to allude me. I never successfully record information for 21 days straight.
For the next 21 days I want to track everything I eat. Not dieting so much as keeping tabs on what I put in my body and how my body reacts.
I also pledge to Blog for 21 days straight (I know, one step at a time). I will post a blog even if it’s just to say I am still on the food tracking wagon.

Saturday In DC

Finally made it out on a Saturday. The Green clan packed up and headed to DC yesterday only to find many of our old spots closed down. The economy sucks and small businesses are paying the price. The disappointment prompted me to by a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec from our favorite little wine spot Chat’s Liquors http://www.chatsliquors.com/.

What a BLOKE!

I had a healthy Monday besides the fact I did not get to bed at a decent hour. Why didn’t I get to bed at a reasonable time?
The bloke is to blame!!!
I need to let my son know he is not going to be a gymnast. He is already too big by gymnast standards. Most male gymnast are less than 5’6 tall and 5’9 is considered a gym giant. The average weight of a gymnast is most likely around 5lb and “Mini Terry Tate” has already eclipsed that mark.
Here is the morning conversation I had with the wife while I sipped my double red eye dark roast (coffee with two espresso shots)!

WIFE [08:40]: morning

ME [08:40]: good morning

WIFE [08:41]: how did it go last night?

ME [08:41]: hahahaha

ME [08:42]: first off, your bloke thinks he is a gymnast

WIFE [08:42]: why

ME [08:42]: he spent the hour between 12am and 1am just jumping over my back

WIFE [08:42]: oh lawd

ME [08:42]: while I laid on the floor

WIFE [08:42]: what happened?

ME [08:42]: he did it 150 times

WIFE [08:42]: did what?

ME [08:42]: I was laying on the floor

ME [08:42]: he was laying next to me

ME [08:43]: all of a sudden

WIFE [08:43]: jesus christ i got that

ME [08:43]: he got up

ME [08:43]: and started diving over my back

ME [08:43]: again and again and again

WIFE [08:43]: smh

WIFE [08:50]: what time he sleep?

ME [08:55]: 130 ish

An Apple a Day!

It Monday and this is the week I turn 30! Pretty exciting stuff. I have been a total slacker for the last week or so. I have not eaten healthy, hit the gym as much or blogged. This was most likely part of my recovery from being sick the week before.
What better day than Monday to start fresh. Not even 7:30 and I have posted my first blog and ate an Apple! 30 here I come!
