Sleep:

Notes:

• I woke up feeling congested and a little run down. The early winter cold is kicking in.
• Wegmans market cafe is the excellent. They are going to be a regular lunch stop for me. They have so many good and healthy selections ranging from fresh turkey sandwiches to asian food.
  
• Baked my first sweet potatoes! Actually came out great. The beauty of the sweet potato is that you don't need to put anything on it once it is cooked. They taste great plain.
• My weight is dropping fast. I'm sure it will level off around 210. It is amazing what happens when I lay off the pizza, soda, and beer.
  
• My body is feeling the residuals of lifting weights yesterday. My hamstrings and inner hip flexors especially hurt.
• Basketball was a good workout, but I was definitely a step slower than usual. It was a combination of sore muscles and having a cold. I usually go a 100 miles an hour when I play, but today I just didn't go as all out as normal.
