6/5/5 - squeezed out that last one, that was tough.

Cardio: 30 minutes

Goal is for one lap straight through w/o stopping. I am less than half way there. The hills make the challenge.

Doing 2520 calories today. I had 4 beers last night, but still stayed at 25% under maintenance. I think I was closer to 90% clean this week, on the lower side. But I am usually 98% clean and figured that I am working hard enough to afford some "rewards". Though alcohol is probably the worst thing I can do to my body besides hard drugs, I am justifying it somehow. I am at odds with my choices only because I am so focused on perfection. I won't beat myself up too much, I lifted strong today and ran well, so I didn't harm myself too much. Besides we has a nice meal of wild salmon, grilled eggplant and yams.

--I highly recommend this combination. We seasoned the fish with Chef Paul's Seafood Magic and some old Bay. The grilled eggplant was seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder, crisped on foil with olive oil, then put right on the racks until browned. Yams baked with Smart Balance spray.
