Mile and a half on the treadmill today, Citarella meatloaf, mozz balls, bell peppers, hummus and a potato pancake for lunch. Also some baby carrots, which really should be called ICU carrots, because they were clearly born premature. Seriously, I've never seen such tiny baby carrots. They look like little orange baby fingers, actually. Yesterday I had salmon florentine (spinach and diced tomato) with green beans, and I've been taking down bananas like one of my simian ancestors. Trying to load up on potassium with those and coconut water so that workouts don't hurt so much the day after. I slept like a baby last night even without melatonin, but I stayed in bed a lot later than I wanted to this morning. Even a couple of beers made me sluggish today, but I still forced myself to exercise. I have to find a way to get more protein. I haven't been this skinny since I was in high school. 148 lbs is really low for me, and I want to bulk up to at least 160 by working out. Otherwise I'll just lose the rest of my body fat and none of my clothes will fit.

Thought I was going out again tonight, but I have to get up too early tomorrow, so I'll just stay in and draw or read a book. Maybe I'll pick up my Mark Twain autobiography again and read some more of that. It's not something I could stick with for any stretch of time because it's over 1500 pages. All it really consists of are the ramblings of an old man, albeit interesting ramblings, and it's pretty disjointed. One chapter will be childhood stuff, the next will be something from later in life. It jumps around so much that you really just pick it up and read a few chapters, then put it down for awhile and read something else. I have a few books on my list right now, and I think I'm finally going to start Gang Leader for a Day, a book that I picked up a long time ago and never read. It looks like it will be fascinating.
