We visited Clay and Carol in Arroyo Grande this past weekend and enjoyed their hospitality and a hike at Reservoir Canyon. It's 6+/- miles long and climbs from 400 feet to around 1,800 feet, with most of the climbing in the last mile.
Carol has a new addition to her family. Benjamin came along last year; he's a Golden Retriever mix. The latest addition is Bernadette, an Shepherd / Great Dane mix. Both dogs love the trail and pulled Carol up the hill most of the day. Lucky her!
We drove the Lexus down and back and both Deb and I were surprised by the gas mileage - right at 47 miles per gallon! It's a comfortable car; it might be a little on the small side for a trip of any length of time. It's got 134 horsepower combined in the electric and gas engines, but even at that low HP level it seems to handle freeway driving, merging and hill climbs just fine.
We're back into our third round of the Cleanse starting today (Monday). We do it every so often when we feel like we need to reset our bodies. It gets out the acids, coffee, alcohol we've been eating and drinking and resets our eating habits around better food choices. The first time was difficult, second time was easier, and this time should be quite easy as we know what to expect and how to prepare for upcoming meals. Downside for the regimen is that it takes quite a bit of time and effort to keep up with the preparing, cleaning, chopping of the vegetables and grains. I'm not sure someone working full time would be able to keep up with the prep work.
This time around I'm going to try to keep track of the daily calories for the regimen, and I will continue to exercise as I have been even though the people who put the regimen together don't recommend exercising at high effort levels.
