I love my podcast.

Apparently, it’s National Puppy Day? Here’s Betty. She’s no puppy, going on 6 years old, but she’s my pupper.

Today I bought prescription Wayfarer sunglasses. This may seem trivial to you, but for me, it means that I’m actually happy with my body. In the past, I’d put Wayfarers on and think that my face was too fat to wear them. Analyze that if you want, but that’s how I felt. It was awesome trying on a pair and thinking “finally!”...finally.

Feet up with a beer in my hand. Happy Thursday. 🍻

Chips and hummus are great, but I think that in terms of healthier eating, baby carrots just might be the perfect vehicle to deliver hummus into my gullet.

As of today, I’ve lost 70 pounds since 10.4.17 and I’m 1 pound from my goal. 🏃

Last week’s runs. Not bad at all.

I bought a blue-colored orchid at Sprouts and snapped a photo of it in the car on the way home. Turned out to be a great photo!

I did my first run with a partner yesterday around the base of Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside, CA. It had its tough moments, but overall was great, especially after the rain.

I applaud and stand in solidarity with all of the people who participated in the March For Our Lives walkout today.

Had an itch to buy some stylish running shoes to wear everyday (since my running shoes are ugly, but functional) so I stopped by WSS on the way home from work. These aren’t running shoes, but for $30, they look the part and are comfy as hell.

I absolutely did not want to run this morning, but I couldn’t break my running streak, so I ran a few miles. Every time I don’t feel like running and I do anyway, is when I feel the best, post-run. 🏃

I got the opportunity to buy a cheese grater Mac Pro with macOS El Capitan from 2008 for ~$200, and I’m buying it. I’ve always wanted one, and I can actually use it for the podcast for less than it would cost me to be a (not) modern Mac Mini. I’m pretty stoked about it.

I’m four pounds from hitting my weight loss goal of 185 pounds. I’ve lost 67 pounds since October 4, 2017. 🏃

After running nearly 400 miles since October 2017, it’s time to buy new running shoes. I was fitted for my Asics at Road Runner Sports in Costa Mesa, California and they’re fantastic! 🏃

Woke up at 1:45am to the sound of rain and stayed up until it stopped at 2:30am.

A tart wheat ale made with bananas, coconut, and pineapple. A little too tart for me, but the pineapple and coconut are great and not overpowering. 👍 🍻

First 3 mile run after being down for three days with the stomach flu. It wasn’t hard and I took it a bit easier than usual, but I definitely felt it. Glad I did it. 🏃

Not sure why it took so long to arrive, but I finally got my copy of Pete Souza’s book, Obama: An Intimate Portrait. Absolutely incredible photography.

Coming down from the stomach flu today. It hit me around 1:30am on Wednesday morning and knocked me on my ass. This is my third day off from work (which, by the way, is my second week in my new position) and I’m still a bit naseous, but nowhere near where I was on Wednesday. Ugh.
