The Paleo Effect...or not so much.

So I started Crossfit last week and have really enjoyed it. The "guys at the gym" recommend The Paleo Diet http://thepaleodiet.com/

Tonight after I was high on life (endorphins), I decided to go to Barnes and Noble to use a gift card I was given at the end of last school year. Yes, I do not read books. Anyway, I was all excited to buy yet another diet book, but as I was looking through this new plan I saw that I would have to eat things like Kangaroo, Cold Veal, and Bison. Screw you Paleo! You are incredibly inconvenient and I will NOT follow your plan. I guess I better keep listening to freakin' Jennifer Hudson sing on those Weight Watchers commercials!

Starving!

This is pretty much how I feel lately. I have put a good, solid effort into cooking this week and have done pretty well if I do say so myself. One night, I got home and there were pizza boxes in the kitchen leftover from Matt and his friends. I physically threw them out of the kitchen! Matt was a little alarmed, but I told him how hard I had been working all week and I just couldn't physically "see" those boxes. It's a bitch being a food addict!

The Boxer Rules the World

Last week, Matt took Duke on a hike near our house. He went up to the winery I work at that's about a mile from the house. There are trails that go through the vineyards and apple orchards. He took one and ended up finding a place to take this picture. Kennewick doesn't have much to offer for "views", so this is about as good as it gets.
Still kind of a cool picture if you ask me.

I'm Hungry?

I took this picture today for two reasons. First, this fridge is in one of the break rooms at our district office where I have my math class at night. It has a lock on it along with a sign threatening you with your life. I'm pretty sure this fridge must be the location of the long lost bulk ranch dressing recipe that I've been trying to get since college. That's the only thing I can imagine would be so sacred. Second, I realized I need this fridge/locking system at home to curb my late night snacking. I need a personal assistant/trainer to open it only to get my breakfast and lunch before school and then to cook only healthy dinners. Lock goes back on and I'm not allowed back in until morning. Who needs diet books?

Really?

I took this picture at the Ritzville ZIPS today. I thought it was hilarious. Who could have been so rough on the pumps that they had to have this sign made? I mean, their Tarter Sauce is good, but there's no reason to get that excited!

This is me and a friend of mine at school. We're trying to be bad asses right now because we're being driven around on the school's Gator which is usually used by Security and Administrators. We hopped on with Security one day because we were too lazy to walk to our portables. It was my first time on the Gator....I cherish my 15 second ride.

My sister surprised me and came down on Friday night. After meeting me at the Football field where I was "putting in my time" working the first football game of the year, we ended the night at Ice Harbor. Ice Harbor is a brewery in Kennewick that I like to go to because it's old and near the railroad tracks. Two things that remind me of my house in Spokane, old and near the tracks. Anyway, Kira bought her first PIG full of beer which holds over 2 gallons of beer. We did our best to drink as much as possible over the weekend!
