Back from a weekend LA trip for Sonya's 21st birthday. Didn't have time to hit-up Muscle Beach, which wasn't surprising given how short an excursion this was. Went to the Porsche Experience racetrack for my niece's birthday and we all at and lounged in the restaurant while she learned how to drive on the track with the instructor. The food here was the best on the trip - had an excellent wagyu burger. Dinner at Lido Italian restaurant afterwards was good but not as amazing as that burger.

Diet was on point in general. I packed 5 tins of sardines in olive oil and brought an entire bag of whey powder. During breaks on the drive, I'd eat sardines and then scoop dry whey in my mouth, which soon forms into a ball and becomes a protein candy that slowly dissolves (been doing this for almost 20 years so way before the ill-advised social media fad of swallowing plain powder). I would have allowed myself burgers or tacos every now and then, but I knew there would be better food at the destination so I might as well hold off until that. 







New strongman gear arrived yesterday: Rogue throw bag. Going to fill it up with rubber mulch once I make a trip to Home Depot.
