July 8th, 2016 Before I Shut My Eyes
I'm letting the pictures and the Tweets tell today's story, tonight. My goal is to write tomorrow's edition in the late afternoon, allowing more time to elaborate on some of the perspectives behind the approach and thorough enjoyment of the experience.
Before I shut my eyes, one thing...
I maintained the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget, I remained abstinent from refined sugar, I communicated with friends in support and I exceeded my daily water goal.
And I had a great time. I also grabbed some additional rest. It was fantastic!

The view was stunning. It was windy and much cooler up there!

Thank you for reading and your continued support,
Strength,
Sean
Are you finding your fruit at the corner fruit vendors in NYC? I loved the city when I was there in late 2012, and was so happy to be able to do all the walking. I noticed there aren't a lot of overweight New Yorkers, probably because of all the walking they do! LOVED the pictures!!!
