Tonight I attemped some chinups and was amazed to be able to do 4 of them. The last one being a struggle. I was brought back down to Earth after attempting to do some pullups about a half hour later only to discover I couldn't do a one. But the 4 is a good starting point, and I wll start working some into my routine.

Well no abs or such during the holidays, except some jumprope on the beach today with the help of some kelp weed for rope. and some swimming.
Diet changes have been going well. (no soy, wheat, sugar, and junk food or soda. Did wonder if I was crossing the line today when I ate 160 cals of fritos, corn oil is the pits. Felt good at the coffee shop at the beach this morning when everyone was ordering their bagels and cream cheese, and I ordered a chef salad with avocados. Man was it delicious with the tomatoes and the balsamic dressing. It actually gave me a high, it was so tasty. Well almost. lol
Sweet Tomato Restaurant for dinner was a garden of veggie delights, with some vegan blackbean chili, dang who need desert. Not me some lemon slices and I floated out of the place.
PS What ever you migh be thinking, I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. lol.
Gym tomorrow, might try to switch up from my push/pull, being there is a Union meeting Wens. Don't know if I can recover with only one day off, but maybe I will try.
Chow, and have a nice week.
Vegan Joe
