1. Alright, so I usually don’t blog about this stuff because it’s like shooting myself in the foot. I talk about an eating goal. I fail. That’s pretty much how it goes. So why would I write this now? I don’t know. Maybe because I never learn. But I’m making some diet changes that I’m hoping are going to help me feel my best for my races next month. I’m also hoping they will help me lose 10lbs I’ve gained in the past 2 years. I’m basically going to limit my snacking and sweets, which is my biggest problem. If snacking were an Olympic sport, I would win. I don’t even need to be hungry to do it. The food just needs to be in arms reach. It can be further away if I’m in a rolling chair.
2. Hubs and I did a Crossfit workout on Monday that involved 210 walk-outs. Walk-outs work just about every muscle in your body. Everything was in pain. Getting in and out of the car sucked and I swear that my rib cage hurt for 2 days. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but it is. I tried to find a good depiction of walk outs online for you but came up empty-handed. Instead, I took the time to draw you this treasure.
I’m pretty sure I made this girl proud with that drawing. And If you don’t know exactly how to do a walk out from looking at that, then I feel sorry for you. You obviously cannot follow impecibly drawn directions.
3. I finally got back to weight training this week. I had a bicep/tricep workout on Tuesday (which were the only muscles that weren’t hurting from Monday). It’s amazing how fast you lose strength, so getting back into weight lifting was pretty awesome even though I now have T-rex arms.

Thursday’s workout was just as good:
Round 1 (4 sets of 20)
- Dead lift with 15lb dumbbells
- Sumo squats with 40lb dumbbell < —- I die
- Step-ups with 20 lb dumbell (10 each leg)
Round 2 (4 sets of 20)
- Back extensions
- Sit ups (on a sit-up bench)
- V-ups
I feel like I’m just starting to work out for the first time. My abs and hamstrings are killing me now. Laughing hurts. So I’m going to try my best to be depressed and moody for a couple days.
4. I think Max is getting old. Can fish show signs of old age? I literally think he is going gray.
That’s not glare from the camera. Those are white spots on him that he never had before.
5. Michelle sent me this picture of Robert Downey, Jr today.
Are those high-waters? What is happening here? Well, you know what I say to that? Nice try RDJ, but even your fug outfit isn’t stopping the dirty things that I do to you in my mind.

Love that drawing! Love that you took the time! Seriously, I now want to try a walk-out! Hehe. We are going to be changing our diet, too…more veggies, fruits…and keep meat, but less bread carbs….or something like that. Just eat healthier…FINALLY! We talk about it all the time…we need to DO IT!

Does Max look like he’s got grains of sand on him, or do the spots look cottony? If so, he could have some funk. If he’s just turning whiter as a whole, then he could be getting old (fish do get paler as they get older).
No, it just looks like discoloration. Like, he has other areas that look like they are turning purple (instead of blue) too. He is almost 2 years old. Not sure how long Betas live.
Oh, and with the email. I had to change change the date on the post manually. I think that’s why the link doesn’t work.
BTW–comment link doesn’t seem to be working from the email post.
That drawing is awesome! You should have added a pin it button underneath so it could be pinned like every other exercise description on blogs lately.
The more my mileage goes up, the less strength training I do. How quickly you lose strength is crazy. I have actually started doing the 30 Day Shred for the 500th time. Hate it every time but it works.

Yes! I even kept up strength training during marathon training but I still lost lots of muscle. I heard that 30 Day Shred is a really good video.
Pretty sure RDJ could be wearing that swimsuit from Borat and he’d still be incredibly hot.

haha! Agree!
Are you sure it’s just white spots and not fungus? I can’t tell from the picture, but I’ve had a few fish get fungal infections.

I’m not sure. What doe one do when a fish gets a fungal infection?
There’s stuff you can add to the tank. I’d go ask at a pet or aquarium store.

I think I’d be a serious Olympic contendor for snacking too. (I’m typing this with a fork of food in my mouth.)

Well if I can understand the drawing right, walk outs look like they suck! I’m sure they work, but man the pain.
After dinner snacks are the worst for me. I can do pretty well not to snack throughout the day, but it’s like a snack monster comes out of me at night!

So I just got a new meal plan from a dietitian–I’d be happy to share the stuff she gave me if you want to try it, too! Maybe if we’re meal plan buddies, it will be easier to stick to it??? Lemme know!
Melissa recently posted..Halibut with Coconut Curry
YES! Awesome picture! I am so proud! And that is a brilliant idea, drawing workout moves. You should totally make that a regular feature over here.
I can’t effing stop the snacking lately either. I’d fight you for that Olympic snacking title.

Love the drawing! I may just have to try that – or not.
I had a beta fish that wound up with ick. You may want to check out this link http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/hdwspot.htm. And to answer your question regarding longevity – long enough that you give them to your coworkers just so that you don’t have to clean the tank anymore.
Love the blog! Keep up the great work.
I want to know who puts the crown on your head and hands you the beer in step 7.
RDJ is a hotty-totty to all ages of women! Even my 17 yr old daughter drools over him!
