Lynne, don't worry I just had lots of small sips. On a focused note, had two small bites of turkey all day. I burned more calories driving 395 than any bottle Mr. Beleveder Vodka could do.
Russ Why cant you cheer me on.

"Someone didn't have their goji berries today"
Gogi Berries - not just breakfast for Ogden
The famed Li Qing Yuen, whom legend has it popularized both goji berries and ginseng, and is said to have lived to the age of 252 years (1678-1930), consumed goji berries daily.
A species of goji berries grows locally and is more commonly known as wolfberry
The goji berry is an adaptogen - a term used in the world of medicinal plants to describe a substance with a combination of therapeutic actions on the human body. In the Chinese medical system, the goji berry is known to harmonize and increase the jing energy of the adrenals and kidneys, resulting in enhanced stamina, strength, longevity, and sexual energy.
Goji berries are perhaps the most nutritionally rich berry-fruit on the planet. They are a complete protein source and contain 19 different amino acids (on par with bee pollen) and all eight essential amino acids (such as adrenal-supporting phenylalanine and serotonin-building tryptophan). Goji berries can contain twenty-one or more trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus) as well as B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E.
Contrary to popular belief goji berries contain little to no Vitamin C.
Goji berries contain long-chain sugars known as polysaccharides that fortify the immune system.
Gogi berries are the only food known to help stimulate the human body to produce more HGH (human growth hormone) naturally.
Goji berries:
* Enhance libido and sexual function
* Are an antioxidant
* Improve Vision
* boost the Immune system
* Supports Brain and Neurological Health
* Support Cardiovascular Health
* Helps keep vital organs healthy
A reasonable intake of goji berries is 15-45 grams per day (a handful). Purchase only organic goji berries (or grow your own!).
Up next..... Cacao - not just a snooty way to say chocolate!
peace and love to all,

152 this am. down 3 in 5 days. the hike up the Mist trail yesterday might have something to do with that. And all those TPR salads that I am living on. (joking, I pretty much eat what I want.)
And I've had beer!
I discovered something though. And I went back the less steep longer way.
I think I need a new knee!
Bone on bone pain, does it make you sick to your stomach? With shooting pain down your shin? It also just flat out quit on me about a half mile from the bottom. 1 hour up, 2 hours down.
This sucks, and will be a serious detriment to my climbing.
Anyone have tips for climbs that are not left side intensive?
Lucky for me vita I seems to agree with me, I'll be eating lots of it. I've already upped my Omega 3's and 6's to about 4g a day.

So - when you Goliaths Of Granite lose weight - where does it go?
Are you increasing your thermogenic output and if so - could you be accused of contributing to Global Warming?
Al Gore wants to know!
On the upside - Nature tells me that algae positively blooms in warm weather - so we'll never run out of breakfast!

Cacao: not just a snooty way of saying chocolate...
Every study on chocolate is pointing to the same conclusion: there is something in chocolate that is really good for us. That something is raw cacao bean, the nut that all chocolate is made from. The cacao bean has always been and will always be Nature's number-one weight loss and high-energy food. Cacao beans are probably the best-kept secret in the entire history of food.
Like all superfoods, chocolate straddles the line between a food and a potent and beneficial medicine. The raw cacao bean is one of nature's most fantastic superfoods due to its mineral content and wide array of unique properties. Since many of the special properties of cacao are destroyed by cooking, refining, and processing, planet Earth's favorite food is still unknown to most of us.
* Cacao contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food in the world. These antioxidants include polyphenols, catechins, and epicatechins. By weight, cacao has more antioxidants than red wine, blue-berries, açai, pomegranates, and goji berries combined.
* Cacao seems to be the number one source of magnesium, one or the great alkaline minerals. Magnesium supports the heart, increases brainpower, causes strong peristalsis, relaxes menstrual cramping, relaxes muscles, increases flexibility, helps build strong bones, and increases alkalinity.
* Cacao contains 314 percent of the U.S. RDA of iron per 1 ounce serving.
* Chromium is an important trace mineral that helps balance blood sugar. Nearly 80 percent of Americans are deficient in this trace mineral. Cacao contains enough chromium to help reverse deficiencies in this mineral.
* Cacao is rich in Zinc, Copper, Vitamin C, Omega-6 Fatty Acid, Phenylethylamine (PEA), Anandamide, Tryptophan, Serotonin.
* Contrary to popular belief cacao is a poor source of caffeine.
Recommended intake: 1 cacao bean per 10-15 pounds body weight.
Note: All the information above is from David Wolfe's book Superfoods.

peace and love to all,

"Spiritual practice is all about light; bringing in the light and, most importantly, moving from the darkness to light. Yoga is primarily an inner science of light, with its various aspects, from asana to meditation, simply different methods of cultivating the higher light within us." - David Frawley (Inner Tantric Yoga)
