My wife bought me a golf pass the first week of July. Except for two weeks during that time I have played 9 to 18 holes of golf 3-4 times a week. I play on two courses: one is 3.3 miles per 18 holes, and the second is not only farther, but also much more challenging due to the topography. I actually...

The last month or so, in the evenings- instead of watching TV, I go golfing. My volume of food has drecreased, and I have noticed my legs getting stronger from walking after my shots, which usually sends me on a zig-zag type course.

Starting a Super Slow weight routine todey. Will go through Thanksgiving, maybe. Still doing a lot of walking on the golf course so that isn't a concern, as far as moving around anyway.

I just finished "Ultra-Marathon Man" by Dean Karnazes. Marginal... I also finished "Carte Blanche" by Jefferey Deaver writing as Ian Fleming. Not bad. He kind of reinvents Bond.

I didn't pay attention today, but I did play 14 holes of golf. (It got dark.) I walked every hill, gully, and fairway on that course.

Probably a Failure though aside from that.

The last two mornings I have popped cans of a liquid diet for breakfast as I have been in a bit of a hurry.

I have thought this for years. I do take the most minimalist/least expensive vitmain I can find on the shelf, and do catch heck from people for not loading up on megavitamins.
