Yesterday’s run was brought to you compliments of gasoline prices here in Southern California:
I hoofed it over to the local Supercuts to get a haircut – just over 4 miles round trip. Hopefully the hairdresser wasn’t too grossed out by some sweaty fat guy plopping down in the chair.

With a short run planned, I headed to Buck Gully to try to get away from the hordes of mountain bikers that were no doubt crawling the hills of Laguna Coast on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The hills were gentle, the weather was fantastic, and I had to step aside only 4 times for mountain bikers. Mission accomplished!
On the calorie front, my adjustment is causing, well, adjustments. The new number is 1530 calories. It’s incredibly tough to hit this number when you love to eat!
Friday calorie stats:
Saturday stats:
Sunday stats:
The bottom line is it appears that the best way to deal with this is to add some calories back through exercise. Crap.
The plan this week:
Slowly, oh ever so slowly, more miles…..
I’m late a day posting, but I *did* get out for a few miles on Wednesday. The day was *perfect*. Temperature in the mid 60’s, a slight breeze blowing up from the ocean, nary a cloud in the sky. Such a change from last week!
I headed out to Laguna Coast Regional Park and did three plus miles on Bommer Ridge. The views were phenomenal!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but Laguna Coast Regional Park is a county wilderness park that abuts Crystal Cove State Park. If it wasn’t for Laguna Canyon Road, these two parks would border with Aliso/Wood Canyon Regional Park to give us Orange Countians a little over 20,000 acres of wilderness smack dab in the middle of suburban Orange County.
I headed to the high point in Crystal Cove State Park, and managed a picture. Here’ why I live in Orange County:
That’s the ocean glistening in the distance…..
On the calorie front, I’m adjusting again. I’ve been at 1780 a day and have been going nowhere. I had been hoping to lose a pound a week. Part of the reason is my cooking is so good I’m eating too much 
. I think the larger reason is that my calorie goal was predicated on exercising five days a week for half an hour a day. That is just not happening right now for a variety of reasons. So, I’m going to adjust again and see if I get get weight loss to be consistent. Starting today (Friday) I’m going to be looking at some pretty shocking daily calorie budgets. Crap….
