The Wildlife is Dwindling in the Gulf

I haven't seen a dolphin in the Gulf since last summer.

Every time I go to FHP, I notice that the wildlife is dwindling. The Cormorants are all skinny and emaciated looking. It has been weeks since I’ve seen a Mullet jump out of the water. Our little slice of the Gulf may not be coated with oil, but the water does have an ominous quicksilver like appearance. I don’t think it is a coincidence.

I did three and a half times around the island today at FHP. That is roughly 2.8 miles. It was hot, hot, hot today! I didn’t get there until about 8:30AM, which is too late especially since all the cloud cover is gone.

I listened to … which was exactly my level today. I spent some time lamenting that fact, especially when Methusala passed me by. I’m so incredibly motivated because my butt is shrinking! I’m setting my alarm for 6:00AM tomorrow. Even if I knock out … I figure I’m still ahead of the game. Maybe it will kick start my metabolism which has been in the doldrums since I quit breast feeding my son about 17 and a half years ago.

I’m deliberately sticking to low calorie, high nutrient food. I can eat more without adding all the calories. I just get squeamish when I cut into one of those GMO tomatoes. It turns my stomach. They don’t even taste like tomatoes anymore. The younger folk have no idea what I’m talking about. I get a glassy eye stare whenever I broach the subject. So sad…

Edit: The tomatoes in China are awesome! No GMO produce here.
