Saddleback Dawn

It’s about 40F outside of my tent as I make my early morning run for bladder relief, and the sun and sky are putting on a show as the rest of the troop sleeps. I had to stop and gawk, letting nature’s call go temporarily unanswered.

Camping in the desert is a delight for me in all but the hottest guy of summer, and it is moments like this that remind me that I need to get out here more often.

Healthy, Tasty, Breakfast, Shanghai

How I eat at a hotel buffet today. 3.5 oz of smoked turkey, 4 egg whites, and a rice cake after a bracing 35 minutes on the treadmill.

No idea what the day will bring, but at least I’m starting off with the carbs and fats under control.

My Liquid Power Breakfast

I am short 26 days to retirement, and I am finding that I need all the help I can get to stay focused. Keeping my morning meals liquid has helped. Clockwise from left:

  • 64oz of ice water with 1.5 scoops of electrolytes
  • 50 grams of rolled oats and 32 grams of whey protein with 3 ounces of water (for a treat, I swap the water for plain unsweetened almond milk)
  • 32oz of homemade cold brew (Black Rifle Freedom Fuel dark roast)

Hope everyone had a safe and fun July 4th weekend!
