Yeah, I bet that’s just water from the BBQ. You’ll be able to shed that water pretty quickly. I bet your taste buds enjoyed it though.

They sure didn't, but I have to be honest, I was told that Terry Blacks was like gold standard BBQ for Austin, and I can think of at least 3 places here in Houston that have better BBQ. This wasn't bad at all, but it was not the flavor bomb I was expecting after hearing it was gold standard BBQ for the city. They used to have some spots that were better, but Houston's BBQ seen has improved from what was already great into spoiling me for other places. So it is funny, I have complaints about a place that most people would be amazed with the food. I just need a little more zing out of the bark on my BBQ than I got here. The cook was awesome, good texture, pull off the bone action, but they just didn't go heavy enough on the salt for the bark.

At least you know if you stick to the tenets of the diet you didn’t go backwards - people underestimate the power of that. They let an all-or-nothing mentality end them up in a scenario of having to undo damage. While moderation at least does no harm, so they can get right back towards the goal.

Very happy to hear your mom is improving!

Man this makes me want to pick up a brisket and do a good smoke on the pellet grill!

Facts, and thanks! Weight is down another 1.5lbs today, I ain't sure if I will hit my low from last week by tomorrow morning, but I am also not going to stress about it.

Just make sure you put enough salt on it!

I got my walk in yesterday, but when I got home I ended up passing out for hours. I hadn't slept well in Austin, and it all just kind of hit me at once when I got home. So I missed my session yesterday. I am WFH today so I will definitely be able to squeeze in some training. I think I am going to just do an upper lower split or something for today and tomorrow to get a touch on everything this week, and a second touch on push muscles. A little frustrated I need to make up from last night, but I obviously needed the sleep. I fell right back to sleep easily after eating dinner.
