Today was an interesting day. I learned (again) eating a really big bowl of fresh cherries is not ideal for my digestive system. People pay good money for a “cleanse” system. I got news for you, eat a big bag of cherries. you will be cleansed.
AM:
today I did a strength check. I have not been lifting the weights like I have in the past and have only been doing dumbbells and body weight exercises. I was pleasantly surprised, I was able to bench press 225 for 3 repetitions. I also did hack squats up to 270lbs. I had more in me but decided to leave it there.

Today was a good day of work. I was busy for a bit but slow for a time also. I had enjoyed a big bowl of cherries early and some chicken over salad for lunch. I don’t know if the chicken was funky, if the cherries did me in, or if it was the split peas I ate, but about 30 minutes after lunch I was in the bathroom. Then again before I left work, then again once I got home then again later. I did not throw up so that was good.I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow with school work. I need to finish writing my paper then type it and submit it. My wife has plans with her coworkers so that is cool, I will not be holding her back.

Today was a good day. We were busy and hustled to get the work done. It went well. The bike ride was very pleasant as well. I pedaled over the pedestrian bridge rather than waiting for the light and I was fine doing it both ways.
