1) are you getting enough sleep?
In bed at 11, alarm at 5:40. So no.

1 Liter of H2O/ day. Half caf Coffee in AM and at lunch & 12 longnecks / week. So probably not.

super low salt (had borderline high numbers in previous years - my wife even roasts a chicken for my lunch meat-- salf free bread etc.) low sat fat (had high numbers at 21) and zero processed food.
I practice that whole "eating from around the edges of the supermarket" thing-- very little comes in packages from the aisles.
So yes.

As a deacon and a member of two choirs, I spent nine and a half hours at my Congregational church this past weekend alone.
Wife works nights and Sunday mornings in NYC.
Band plays 4 hour gigs and has weekly 3 hour practices.
Kids are 3 and 5.
Puppy is 7 months and 45 pounds...
So um, yeah...
