Not really sure what day this would be at this point. I have been exercising pretty regularly, with the exception of these last couple of days. My mile pace has been steadily increasing. My first run back in may was around a 10:30 min mile pace. My latest one (for 3 miles) was around 8:40. So I'd definitely say there was some moderate improvement. My weight when I started this whole thing was a little over 172. Now I'm down around 167'ish and feeling much healthier than I have in a while. My wife has been super supportive of me; helping me make some healthy decisions (even when I didn't want too...). 
It's been really busy these last several weeks (starting a new job, going on a cruise to the eastern Caribbean (see awesome picture of me and George), wife having a major surgery to her shoulder) but it's been good. Right before we went on the cruise I participated in a work fun-run 5k. The surgery has slowed down my workout routine a bit. Partly because I'm making sure she can get back on her feet (quite literally) and partly because I'm using it as an excuse not to exercise.I've noticed (and I kinda knew this before) that I'm definitely an emotional eater. Not to an extreme but to the point where it's now affecting how I feel about myself (body image, self image, self esteem... all that stuff). Biggest comfort foods include: pizza, donuts, CANDY, and fries. I have a good friend who doesn't eat anything by the way it tastes. I'm not to sure how he does it. It seems like some weird superpower to me, and not one that I'm too sure that I would want. For the past two weeks I was eating a super healthy plant based diet and every time that I would catch myself thinking about eating something unhealthy I would ask myself "is this what an elite athlete would eat?" I was doing really well with that up until about a few days ago. Kinda just fell off the wagon with everything that's been going on. Hoping to start back up soon.
