Wowsers!

I did not expect to get so much support from the Gluten Free initiative!  Thanks guys, that really means a lot.  So far I feel a lot better, the mood is always improving, and the fat keeps coming off.  Pretty cool stuff all the way around.

Tuesday night's swim I went for 3100 yards and did hit the wall pretty good around 2400 yards in.  It was a RAM team practice so stopping was not an option, and when I realized how much yardage I had already put in I understood it.  This is one of those adjustments that the body has to make when adapting to a new diet.  I ran out of carbs as a fuel source since I wasn't eating anything with wheat in it for a week.  Soon enough the body will adjust to use the other fuel sources available.  It really wasn't that bad.

Today is Evil Genius's fifth birthday!  Hard to believe that 5 years ago today we were in the hospital in Greenville SC welcoming this little bundle of joy.

When people ask what your 5 year goals are or where do you see yourself in five years I bet your answer is not to turn that baby above into this cute little girl:

Today before going off to bible school

I'm so proud of how much my little baby has grown.  She's happy, healthy, and independent with good social skills and a strong sense of willpower. She knows how to get what she wants, and that's a skill that will serve her well later in life. 

I used Michael's picture above because I'm especially happy for him today.  Yesterday his wife gave birth to their first child.  The baby is outside of the womb and is healthy, and that's all the information I'm going to disclose to the public.  I know Michael is going to love being a dad, and watching his little one grow and prosper into a healthy centered adult.  I'm so excited for them, and very relieved that EG doesn't have to share a birthday with her cousin.
