Weightloss

I made it to the gym again today.  I had to modify the crossfit workout because I can't do pull-ups right now and I can't do vertical pushups yet.  So instead I did thrusters, pushups, and walking lunges.  It was pretty intense, I wasn't able to go continuously through a round after the first set, but I did better than yesterday.

If the scale is to be believed, then I have already lost four pounds.  Of course I was wearing slightly different clothes, but that shouldn't make that much of a difference.  Either way, it is weightloss.

I am going to have to modify my diet once again.  I just get too hungry in between meals and it is making me have an upset belly after I eat.  I have decided to take a single piece of fruit in the morning and one after lunch.  This way, I am sticking with the vegan theme, but I am able to eat a little something to stave off the hunger.  I am going to try it tomorrow and see how it goes.

Skirt Burgers and Paper Football

Joel and Lainie had us over for skirt burgers tonight.  If you have never had one of these heart-stopping food oddities I would definitely recommend it...once a year.  More than that and I think that there is a good chance that your heart will actually stop.  It is a fat burger.  Maybe a half a pound burger, that you put a pile of cheese on top of and throw it on a hot griddle with some ice, or ice water, I am not really sure.  But this is where the name becomes clear because the cheese melts down the burger, out on the grill and forms a kind of hardened cheese skirt around the bottom of the burger.

We followed that up with some of the weirdest beer that I have ever had.  It was chili flavored.  As in, hot chili pepper flavored.  I couldn't really taste the beer because the spice was so strong. The first taste that I had I swallowed the way that I swallow every time I am trying a new beer.  I take in a mouthful making sure that the beer touches my whole tongue and swallow quickly.  My chest and throat were immediately on fire.  I finished it, but it took some doing.

Then we played paper football.  It is a lot of fun.  But it is super dull to watch.  Here is a video to prove how dull it is to watch.

It was a fun night with good friends.  And we get to do another one tomorrow night!  We sure are lucky to have such a great group of people in our lives.
