Still salivating after a cupcake high just 7 hours ago. As the official taste tester for Cupkeiki (my wife’s unofficial home bakery), she woke me up at 1am to try her latest coconut cupcake. Since I’m such a professional, I just open my mouth, still half-sleeping, and let the chewing begin! Delicious and then back to sleep. My apologies to all dentists who read this.

New week … time to evaluate and grade myself on the previous. 4  out of the 7 days and the remaining 3 days involved a wellness activity. Helping my parents wash their exterior windows. By the way, thank you YouTube for re-training on the proper way to clean a window. Roadtrips to San Francisco and supporting my family in their rookie appearance at the American Craft Council Show.

Eating and Nutrition:

• I eat a lot and I continue to maintain or lose weight slow and steady. That’s what really stands out so I need to call Mythbusters! You can eat and lose weight. Herbalife is my confirmed breakfast of champions. Herbalife24 products have increased my split times and performance on my short runs.
