Man hands are not cute

So I think it was last Monday the WOD was Murph which I did Rx'd for the first time ever. Right in the middle of the WOD my hands ripped and like a trooper I completed with ripped hands. My time: 53:43. It  was awesome until the next few days I couldn't do much because of the rips. I have done everything under the sun to try and get these things to heal faster. It's no fun when all your friends are having a good time sweating it out and you are having to scale or completely skip gym. So yesterday I did a little research on the topic.

I had read this before but previous rips were never that bad to where I had to consider such a thing.
Never in my life would I ever thought I would share this nor openly share this even to a close friend...

Hemorrhoid cream is the best thing that has ever happened to me...In a ripped hands sorta way.

Some how it speeds up the healing process. I remember a long time ago this lady saying she used it as a face moisturizer and well, she looked pretty good. It seems a little temping. If this stuff dramatically improved my callus rip what else could this miracle cream fix?

Below is my rip on the ring finger. Yesterday it was red and every time I opened my hand all the way it would crack open and hurt so bad. Today I can not only open my hand all the way but I can push my fingers back and everything! So awesome!

Tri searches

Registration has already opened for this. I think I might sign up. It's in September so that gives me plenty of time to get back into riding and most of my running stuff will be over by then. Not sure what I would do about the swimming since I don't have my membership at the Y anymore. Maybe someone will let me borrow their pool.

Tie Dye Tri


And if some reason I don't make that one I can do this one that's in October.

Lunch

Lunch: Turkey burger - bun = yum!

I got this from Texadelphia. It came with chips and I'm not ashamed to say they will be eaten and thoroughly enjoyed.

Green foam

An update from an earlier post about the moth. It finally left I'm happy to report. I was getting nervous it was going to fly in one day and I'd have to battle it out with him in my apt to either get him to fly out or kill him. I'm glad it didn't go that way.

I have a little confession to make. I found on Netflix they had The Hills...I've been watching them in the morning after I walk Penny and sometimes I'll watch a few episodes at night. I know, I know, I'm too old to be watching that stuff but I can't help it. Watching reminds me of how important having a good set of girlfriends can be. And that a guy should NEVER rule your life. This is something I should know by now but I guess I need a refresher on how to be not so dependent on a mans opinion of me. And unlike The Wonder Years I can semi watch and knit. With The Wonder Years I have to be fully focused so I don't get distracted. I feel as if that show is going to open a door to how I should be looking at life.

Here is today's special:
1 cucumber
3 handfuls of spinach
1 fuji apple
3 celery stalks
2 carrots
1 scoop barley greens

I have a feeling there is another one that I have forgotten. If I remember I'll post it.

Mothman

After watching episodes 10-15 of the 5th season of The Wonder Years I decided it was time to go to bed. The closer I get to the last season the more sad I get that I'm almost out of episodes.  I always think I'll go back and watch my favorites but when I really think about it they all are my favorites. 
Anyway,  before going to bed I take Penny out for her last potty opportunity.  I open the door and turn to shut and lock it when this dark spot in the bricks catches my eye. I try not to yell out since its kinda late but I let out a "holy geez, that's a big moth!!" In a loud whisper. I took Penny to the grass and I pray that the moth is gone and blame my neighbor for always leaving their porch light on and how it's attracting all these bugs....eeewww! When we make it back to the door I keep my eyes on it the entire time (except when I was fumbling with getting the key in the lock). I open the door just enough to get in and slam it shut! After my mini freakout I decide I need to get a picture of this thing. No way was I going to put a reference object so you can understand its true size. You will just have to trust me on this one,  I promise it was almost 3 inches long....gross right?! Sorry if its a bit blurry but no way was I going to get a close up of him!

My Sunday treat

I watched The Avengers with the family today. I thought it was pretty good. I laughed a lot and decided I need a man like Thor. Maybe minus the longish hair.
On to the shot. As a treat since today is Sunday I made goat cheese stuffed peppadew peppers and paired it with... more cheese, St. Mary's grass fed gouda. Talk about yum!
Not pictured is the chicken breast I  had. Just plain nothing fancy.
My barley greens came in the mail yesterday.
Breakfast today:
2 cucumbers
3 carrots
1 red delicious apple
1 teaspoon barley greens
Oh, and at the movies I had popcorn and approximately 4 cups of diet Pepsi.
