I love Boyd Hill but I dont go there because it costs money. Sawgrass and Weedon are both closer so its normally just easier to go there. Boyd Hill is free currently and its still a drive so I haven’t gone, but I finally went. Took Gil. Got pretty pictures. Broke Gil around the 1.5 mile mark. It was really too hot. - Went hiking with Gina on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail. We did 3.15 miles and it went well. I should have brought more water and I got sun burned around the edges of my shirt, but it went well. - Solidly on Keto this week. Down 5 lbs per Wed afternoon weigh in. Weighed again Thursday after I pooped and it was 5 more than Wednesday. I’m pretty happy and it makes me motivated to stay on diet. - Took the dog to t...
