Will be checking my weight every Monday morning.  It may appear that I've lost ~12 pounds last week ... totally bogus.  I put in 232 last week just to get going as an estimate.  That was the weight I was at a couple of weeks ago, mid-afternoon (after lunch), and fully clothed.

I'll use the 220.5 as the baseline going forward.  Good thing is ... 10 less pounds to mentally lose.  This puts me at 25 - 30 lbs to go.

Played some tennis, then ran with my wife tonight.  She rips up the tennis courts and likes to do 100 meter interval training.  I joined her on several intervals, but my legs were a little drained still from Saturday.  Fun to do some all out sprints though.  Guess this old man still has a little kick left in him.  My wife still kicked my butt though!!!

Still a little smoke in the air here in Daybreak from the nearby Herriman fire.  My lungs were burning a little toward the end of my run tonight.

I was deeply saddened as I watched the fire driven down the mountainside by the wind last night from my house.  Not sure how many homes were lost ... I'll need to check the news.

On Kelli's blog she said only four homes were lost.

Thanks for the reference Burt! Some scary pictures on her blog.
