Headstrong

Well, I did make it through New Years Eve sober. I had some ice cream in bead at around 11:00, but all things considered I think that is acceptable. I had planned to get up and do a strong man session yesterday morning, but the deadlift workout the night before did me in. So I rode my bike for an hour watching another video. This one followed Hell Valley right out side of LasVegas, NV. Very cool ride. I know what I'm doing if I ever get drug to Vegas again.
I did break down and crack open the bottle of merlot Hollie gave me for Christmas. I had one glass and regretted that. I felt like I was drinking poison. It's amazing what the mind can do to protect you if you really allow it.
Meg joined me for about half the bike ride until the saddle sores got the best of her. To her credit, she got off the bike and went for a walk to finish up the hour workout. This morning she actually drug out of bed and went for a walk. I pulled my sled to the highway and back again.

I go to the doctor this afternoon to evaluate my blood pressure situation again. Yesterday morning it checked out at 153/180. Still not great, but better than what it has been. We shall see...
