The Mill:  Now that travel season is over it will be easier for me to control what I out down the hatch.  Instead of greasy subs or pizza every night, I can freely mix in some vegetables and take out the soggy buns.  I've gained what has become known as "the fall five or ten".  Not the good weight either.  So, now with the new addition to the family on the way it is time to become a little healthier.  I'm not going to do anything crazy because I am a sucker for a cheeseburger, fries, and beer.  A minor adjustment being home and pulling the 9-5 again, but the trimming down has begun.  Sweating in those hotel "weight" rooms magnified the smell of all the meats. cheeses, and booze.  I made the mistake of ordering a Fish Fry, on a Tuesday, at a sketchy bar in a shady city.  So I decided to order some back up for the evening, and it was not a light salad.  I settled on the Irish Burger.  While debating on what to spoil my dinner with, I found myself sitting next to a former college and pro football player who had some interesting stories about being recruited by Penn State in the late 70's/early 80's time frame. (Just think about who was in his living room) I think he was shocked that I didn't have a bigger reaction when he told me he played pro football.  He didn't appreciate that much.  There were not any questions regarding his playing career.  There were actually not any questions asked about anything.  He just kept right on talking.  I enjoyed the conversation, but I wasn't going to jump out of my seat for an autograph

Time to turn the corner in more ways than one.  It feels like a fresh start when all the traveling is wrapped up for the season.  My legs are rejuvenated and my back doesn't hurt quite as much from being in a car for the majority of the day.  It's time to get back to the disciplined mindset and continue to be better than yesterday.

You're probably wondering if that horse turd ever got polished.  Progress will be updated shortly.
