Exercise

They called it Indefinite Pregnancy Syndrome. A side effect of the extreme, experimental fertility treatments you had used after years of failing to conceive. Some women were pregnant for an extra few weeks, others spent 20 years carrying their broods before birthing children the size of full grown adults. There was no way of knowing how long it would be, all you and your wife could do was stay prepared for the day labor would finally come.

It had been several years since she blew past her original due date, and her big brood now kept her bedbound almost all the time. It had been years since she had been unable to walk unaided. A series of increasingly elaborate mobility aids, wheelchairs, and walkers had kept her somewhat mobile for a couple years, but now the ceiling-mounted harness system in your house was her only hope for getting out of bed.

It was so time consuming and effortful to put on that it was now only used for her daily exercise routine. Though the types and amount of physical activity she could do were severely curtailed by the hundreds of pounds of fat, fluid, and baby weight bloating up her short body, it was important for her to do as much as she could for her own health and the health of the brood, as well as to keep her body prepared for birth, whenever it may come.

You start the long ordeal of strapping her baby-ballooned body into the harness. She tries her best to help position herself but it's a struggle for her to move her heaving bump even an inch without support. Eventually you get her strapped in. You notice that it's probably time to start getting a larger harness built; her belly is squeezed in there tight and her baby fat bulges beyond the straps around her butt, thighs, and back. You heave her county-fair pumpkin sized boobs into the inbuilt bra attachment and stuff it with several milk pads for her near-constant leakage.

The harness whirrs loudly as it begins to lift her up from the bed. When it reaches a comfortable height you step behind her, steadying her by her waist and shoulders, and she slowly rises to her feet. She whimpers and moans in pain and discomfort from the unimaginable pressure of a kindergartener-sized head rammed against her unyielding cervix.

You support your body gently and slowly waddle her to the living room. She can barely see over her massive breasts so you guide her over to her peanut-shaped yoga ball. She straddles it and you gently lower her down so she's sitting on it, while the harness retains enough weight that she doesn't pop it. Her extremely wide hips and wobbling, cellulite-bloated ass cheeks nearly dwarf the yoga ball in size. She gently starts bouncing, hoping the repetitive motions will stimulate her contractions.

She softly moans as she bounces, turned on by her swollen pussy rubbing against the ball. She hasn't been able to reach past her wrecking-ball womb and colossal ass in years, and all the hormones combined with the intense pressure make her extremely needy. She grinds desperately into the ball, her pillowy butt cheeks jiggling violently within the confines of her tight red yoga pants.

Eventually she tires herself out. She's panting and covered in sweat, babies kicking uncomfortably at her ribs, stomach, and spine. You gently wipe the sweat from her forehead and kiss her on the cheek. It drives you crazy to see her like this, pushing her horribly overdue body to the limit, desperately trying to pleasure herself and induce labor.

You lift up her belly with the harness and move the yoga ball away. It's time for her squat routine. You crouch down behind her, pressing your hands deep into her huge, soft mommy butt to support her strained hips. She carefully squats down as you lower her belly along with her. She reaches the nadir of her squat and summons all her strength to lift herself, grunting deeply as you press against her fat hips in support. She repeats this several more times, but on the final rep her overtaxed yoga pants finally give out, splitting at the seams straight down the middle, exposing her pale cellulite and stretched out maternity panties. She huffs and puffs, too exhausted and embarrassed to heft her massive body back up. You can see how soaked they are, not just from sweat but from her own pleasure. You can't help but grab her soft flesh and kiss her exposed cellulite playfully. She grinds her fertile hips back against you and begs you to go further. You dive in, spreading her butt wide and teasing her wet, quivering pussy through her panties.

After a few minutes she's close to cumming. She begs for you to penetrate her, and you oblige, rolling her on top of her loveseat-sized belly and pulling her panties to the side. You grab huge handfuls of butt fat and spread her as wide as you can, forcing the rip in her leggings wider. You push in and start thrusting away hard, making her quiver and moan. She always wants it rough and intense, hoping that it will induce her long-awaited labor. You grab her long, sweaty blonde hair with one hand, pulling her head up out of its resting place in her bulging cleavage, and slap her ass hard with the other. You slap her again and again, leaving angry pink handprints on her delicate ass flesh. She's overcome with pleasure, squeezing her tits hard enough for milk to flood the pads and stain the bra attachment.

You talk dirty to her about how huge she is, how unbelievably fat and swollen, how utterly helpless and immobile she is. She loves it more than anything when you call attention to her overly pregnant body. After a few minutes you can tell she's close to orgasm. You pull her fat hips as close against you as you can, thrusting deep enough to touch her swollen, impenetrable cervix. It's enough to push her over the edge, and you soon follow, blasting ropes into her tight pregnant cunt while she screams loudly in ecstasy.

You each just sit there for several minutes, sweaty bodies pressed together, breathing deeply from exertion. When she's recovered enough to stand you tear off the remnants of her inadequate yoga pants and hoist her belly to the ceiling. You waddle her back to the bedroom, lie her down and remove the harness, gently rubbing the spots where the tight straps left marks on her skin. Your wife, utterly spent, goes down for a nap almost immediately, and you spoon up against her soft backside and join her.

Enhance Your Workout with the Vibrating Peanut Ball: A New Frontier in Fitness

In the ever-evolving landscape of fitness, innovation continues to drive the quest for improved performance, enhanced recovery, and overall well-being. One such innovation making waves in the fitness world is the vibrating peanut ball. Combining the benefits of traditional exercise balls with vibration technology, this unique tool is revolutionizing workouts and rehabilitation routines alike.

What is a Vibrating Peanut Ball?

The vibrating peanut ball, also known as a dual-ball massager or peanut-shaped exercise ball, is a versatile fitness accessory designed to provide targeted muscle relief, enhance flexibility, and improve balance and stability. Its distinctive peanut shape sets it apart from traditional round exercise balls, offering greater stability and control during workouts.

How Does it Work?

At its core, the vibrating peanut ball operates on the principles of vibration therapy. Embedded within the ball are small motors that generate high-frequency vibrations when activated. These vibrations stimulate the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues, promoting circulation and aiding in muscle relaxation and recovery.

Benefits of Using a Vibrating Peanut Ball

1. Enhanced Muscle Activation:

The vibrations produced by the peanut ball engage the muscles at a deeper level, leading to increased muscle activation during exercises such as squats, lunges, and planks. This heightened activation can help individuals maximize their workouts and achieve better results in less time.

2. Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion:

Regular use of the vibrating peanut ball can help improve flexibility and range of motion by releasing tight muscles and fascia. Incorporating dynamic stretches and mobility exercises with the ball can lead to greater joint mobility and reduced risk of injury.

3. Enhanced Recovery:

After an intense workout, the vibrating peanut ball can serve as a valuable tool for recovery. Its vibrations help alleviate muscle soreness and stiffness, promoting faster recovery and reducing the likelihood of post-exercise fatigue.

4. Better Balance and Stability:

Due to its unique shape, the peanut ball offers greater stability compared to traditional exercise balls. By incorporating balance exercises with the vibrating peanut ball, individuals can improve proprioception and stability, which are essential for functional movement and injury prevention.

Applications in Fitness and Rehabilitation

The versatility of the vibrating peanut ball makes it suitable for a wide range of fitness and rehabilitation purposes. Whether used by athletes looking to enhance performance or individuals recovering from injury or surgery, the peanut ball can adapt to various needs and fitness levels.

Fitness:

Strength Training: Incorporate the peanut ball into strength exercises like squats, bridges, and core workouts to increase muscle activation and challenge stability.

Flexibility Training: Use the ball for dynamic stretches and mobility drills to improve flexibility and range of motion.

Balance and Stability Training: Perform balance exercises on the peanut ball to enhance proprioception and core stability.

Rehabilitation:

Injury Recovery: Use the vibrating peanut ball to aid in the rehabilitation of injuries by promoting circulation, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing flexibility.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: Incorporate gentle exercises with the ball to regain strength, mobility, and stability following surgical procedures.

Conclusion

The vibrating peanut ball represents a novel approach to fitness and rehabilitation, harnessing the power of vibration therapy to enhance performance, accelerate recovery, and improve overall well-being. Whether you're an elite athlete striving for peak performance or someone recovering from injury, incorporating the vibrating peanut ball into your routine can unlock a new realm of possibilities in your fitness journey. With its versatility, effectiveness, and ease of use, the vibrating peanut ball is poised to become a staple in gyms, clinics, and homes worldwide.

WHAT’S THE SECRET BEHIND VIRAT KOHLI FITNESS?

Are you wondering how Virat Kohli stays so fit and agile on the cricket field? There was a time when Kohli used to drool over all things greasy and fatty, especially Delhi ka butter chicken. But, in the last decade or so, he has completely transformed himself. He's now a Quasi-vegetarian, and is one of the world's fittest athletes. So, what’s the mystery behind his impressive fitness? You might be surprised to know that it's only just about intense workouts and a healthy diet. Whether you're a cricket fan or just someone interested in staying healthy, there's something valuable to learn from Virat Kohli's fitness journey. Let’s find out the key factors of his amazing fitness:

Secret Behind Virat Kohli's Fitness

The Focus Area of his Fitness Routine 

Virat Kohli follows a strict five-day workout regime to enhance & maintain his physical abilities and keep his muscles flexible. This routine helps him stay in excellent shape. After these tough workouts, he takes two days off to rest and recover. During the off-season, when he's not playing, Kohli focuses on building muscle and strengthening his core, back, and legs. 

This approach is crucial for him as it boosts his performance in cricket and keeps him fit. His workout plan includes intense exercises and cardio workouts to improve his endurance and overall fitness. His dedication to fitness plays a big role in his outstanding performance, helping him consistently perform at his best.

Warm-Up and Running 

Warming up before an intense workout is really crucial for staying fit. In sports like cricket, where you need to sprint frequently to catch a fast-moving ball, it's vital to warm up properly. This helps prevent muscle injuries or cramps.

Virat Kohli's fitness routine is just like any other athlete understands the importance of a good warm-up. He prefers to run as part of his warm-up routine. It's said that he runs for about 20 minutes at a speed of 15 kmph. This helps him get his muscles ready and avoid getting hurt or injured during the game.

Pro-Level Exercise for High-Performance 

Kohli really likes compound exercises, which are exercises that make many muscles work together at once. This helps him get stronger and build muscles. Some examples of these exercises include deadlifts, squats, and front lunges with twists. 

At his home, he even has a special platform for lifting weights, which shows how serious he is about his training. He also does explosive workouts at home. These are short, intense workouts where he does a bunch of exercises in just a few minutes. This kind of training helps him stay in great shape and be ready for his cricket games.

A Strict Quasi-Vegetarian Diet. 

One of the biggest Misconceptions about Virat Kohli is that he follows a vegan diet. Virat clarified on Twitter that he is a vegetarian who consumes eggs. He follows a quasi-vegetarian diet. Quasi-vegetarians typically eat fish, seafood, or Sometimes poultry. 

Kohli follows a high-protein diet, including eggs, dal, quinoa, vegetables, and spinach. If we talk about all three specific meals of Virat Kohli's diet – for breakfast, he eats three egg white omelettes with peanut butter on brown bread. For lunch, chicken with spinach, and for dinner, he keeps things light like soup, salad, or stir-fried vegetables. 

In today’s modern cricket, Virat Kohli has established himself as one of the fittest athletes in the world. His fans are eager to know his secret to such peak physical fitness. The answer is simple – a healthy diet and a consistent workout routine. He's also a trendsetter with a signature look—his beard. People are going crazy for his gaze, and he maintains it with good grooming and the right beard products like beard serum, oil, and shampoo. He's taken his style to the next level. This dedication to a healthy lifestyle is part of what makes Virat Kohli such an inspirational figure for millions.

tw: sa, abuse

the rude brat called “my little sister” downright humped me on that peanut-shaped exercise ball several minutes ago

why does every one of my sisters just fucking hate me

[inside-the-tardis]

Back again, to drop the hottest tea of my life on a blog that I never want people to read

So I don't know the person I am, okay.

Like objectively, if one had to find oneself, I never would be able to pin point my issues and draw a conclusion. I'm simply too close to the subject and always biased.

However, within my limited understanding of an appraisal, I shall now proceed to appraise myself in a paragraph followed by a tabulated demonstration.

I believe, and I don't know how much the reader can rely on this, but I'm about 5' 3", lean, skinny and wheat ish. I have medium length hair, always unruly, sometimes unkept. I wear baggy clothing, shirts that fit me too big or baggy jeans and pants, a lot of hoodies and sweaters and one black coat that needs to be lint rolled. I never get around to it. My room is many times in constant and differing stages of disarray. Things that you will alwyas find on my bed are: my ash tray, a pack of cigarettes, plsatic baggies, lighters, for every 1 that works, there are 3 that don't, and some sort of dessert. Today it is maple and pecan pie with peanut butter cups. I love snacking and I love sweets. On my bedside table is always, two glasses of water, empty ice cream cup from yesterday, pens (for every 1 blue pen, there are 3 black pens), potpurri, my lamp, three candles of different shape, size and colour and a reed diffuser.

My other bedside table holds a Taurus crystal ball, fairy lights, another lamp , seashells and rocks I picked up from Blackpool, potpurri and two scented candles. When you enter, you can hear background music, right now you'd hear the Haider playlist, Aao Na by Vishal Dadlani. I wonder how long before I also myself begin talking to a skull for company. Arre aao na ki thak gayi hai zindagi

so jao, Followed by SOAD's chop suey, and truly one of my favourites,

I cry when angels deserve to die, in my self-righteous suicide You would think I'm constantly perterbed.

And I am indeed, by many things. This human vessel, that requires constant looking after in many separate ways, all of which I've grown more mindful and consistent about, (nutrition, hygiene, hydration and exercise). These human connections and relationships, all of which I find cumbersome and quite a handful. The human condition of needing to work for fulfillment, for wages, for something to do and worry about, and having a livelihood and so every week for 4 days I set out to make money as a health practitioner.

I also have, this house for which I pay rent, bills, tax and upkeep. Much of the maintainence, sorry, all of the maintainence and upgrades are always mine. The way I like it.

I also like gadgets, I have this phone that keeps buzzing and usually holds bad news more than good, (everybody to keep in touch with, a chore, and sometimes looking at the things everyone is doing, a true evil), a laptop where I can make magic, another laptop to churn out productivity, a digital camera and a TENS machine.

I have gym equipment, yoga mats, weights, resistance bandsz and glute bands, alot of exercise related papers and notes neatly arranged in files and organised digitally. Laundry is everywhere, mixed in with good clothes and bad, too many to name, too close to give away, and too precious to really discard. They mooch off of space like nothing else. A coat hanger with a bunch of coats, more scented candles, alot of trash papers, some old flowers, stationery of all kinds, artsy stuff, there are paintbrushes, acrylic and water colours, a paint by numbers potrait, anothesr three paintings handing about my room and three 1000 piece puzzles, all packed up. Many books line the floor, too many to name, I love to read. Bits and pieces of everything else that I liked, picked up or found somewhere all live on here. God alone knows how I will muster the strength to move out when I do, or how even would I transport all my stuff. For all these evils and many more (consumerism, capitalistic tendencies, the evils of over-spending, hedonism, or god forbid, we have some fun), I find myself leaning more and more towards the idea of minimalism.

Having said that, it is a glorious Friday and I have begun my day with glorious joint and strawberry and mango tea. I believe some chores are in order and Imust get to them . Teeth cleaning everyday twice should be mandatory. I eat the maple and pecan pie. Echoes by Pink Floyd plays in the background. It is important to remember that your thoughts are not you - whatever they may be , they are dynamic and in a state of flux. All thought processing in order for objectivity should be observation. No attachment, (no criticism? ) .

Adding important gems of learning, or pointers that I pick up day to day,

I get up a use the bathroom, i look around and roll another joint, and another. Until its 1pm. I've been smoking since 8 in the morning, relentlessly.

This habit of mine should be investigated, deeply and soon.

For now, I look around and it does not spark my attention. I;m sure this last joint will fix my mood, but what then?

Let us smoke and find out. Though nothing will change but all in my mind. As it usually is the case. Nothing will change except my willingness to do the same old chores, which i could do now, still tripping balls, or I could smoke some more, abuse and misuse my privilege and continue to then do the same old bullshit. Nothing matters, ish. I ran out of marijuana and then ordered some more. It is about 9pm now. I have spent the day: dozing off, watching multiple youtube videos, I cooked myself some fried garlic pepper egg rice, ate a whole can of peach slices, bought oat and honey bread and had three slices with sunny side up eggs, and now as the over pre0heats, I get appetised for my spinach and ricotta pizza coming up. I have chicken and fish in the fridge, with butter and jam of all kinds. I've eaten two croissants today, and almonds and Brazilian nuts side at my bedside table to snack. A single Sprite I keep in the fridge for myself. My kitchen is in dis-array. I have cleaned two shelves, two cupboards, one drawer. Two cupboards and one drawer and miscellaneous chores persist. I have also done laundry, washed and changed my linen, ironed all my work clothes and decided my outfit for once I do shower. Folded and packed all my clothes in neat piles and made myself a sweet cup of coffee. I then went downstairs to run an errand and check the post. All good news. The kitchen is in dis-array as I left my cleaning halfway to enjoy my coffee and take a break. I'm happy with the progress achieved today. I must make sure to get some reading done and prep for work tomorrow. March ends on a peaceful note. 31 March is number 4, same as my birth number. I continue watching podcasts on youtube as I smoke another joint. I've made oat and honey loaf croutons with hot creamy spicy tomato soup.

Play with dogs even when not around - Interactive Dog Toys

Interactive dog toys, Indestructible pet toys and enrichment toys for dogs are a great way to keep your dog entertained even when you're not around. There are various types of interactive dog toys, so you can find one that your dog will love. Some popular interactive dog toys include treat dispensers, puzzles, and balls that bounce erratically.

Introduce the concept of interactive dog toys

There are many different types of interactive dog toys on the market or you can simply look for dog toys online, but it can be tough to figure out which is the best luxury dog products for your pup. Some toys require your dog to actively engage with them to produce a reaction, such as a puzzle toy that dispenses treats when the dog successfully solves the puzzle. Other toys are designed to keep your dog entertained by providing a source of stimulation, such as a ball that bounces unpredictably or a toy that dispenses treats as it's played with.

No matter what type of interactive toy you choose, it's important to ensure your dog is supervised when playing with it. Some toys, like treat-dispensing toys, can be a choking hazard if your dog tries to eat the treats while playing. Other toys, like balls and Frisbees, can be dangerous if your dog swallows them.

Interactive dog toys are a great way to keep your dog entertained and engaged, and they can also help your dog's problem-solving abilities. So choose the right toy for your dog and have some fun watching them play!

Explain the benefits of using interactive dog toys

Interactive dog toys are a great way to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated. They can help keep your dog occupied and out of trouble when you're busy, and they can also help teach your dog new tricks and behaviors. Interactive toys can be anything from simple balls or Frisbees to more complex puzzles. They come in various shapes and sizes to suit any dog's needs.

Some of the benefits of using interactive dog toys include:

- keeping your dog entertained and mentally stimulated

- educating your dog to perform new behaviors and tricks

- preventing your dog from getting bored and destructive

- providing exercise and physical stimulation

- helping to socialize your dog with other dogs

Consider investing in an interactive dog toy, luxury dog grooming, or luxury pet products if you're looking for a new way to keep your dog entertained. They are an excellent way to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated, and they can also aid in the teaching of new tricks and behaviors.

Provide a few examples of popular interactive dog toys

Popular interactive dog toys include treat dispensing toys, puzzle toys, and toys that can be filled with water or food. Treat dispensing toys can be as simple as a Kong filled with peanut butter, or as complex as a toy that requires the dog to figure out how to release a treat from a series of compartments. Puzzle toys can be made from various materials, including plastic, rubber, or wood. They can be as simple as a rubber ball with a hole in the center, or as complex as a toy with numerous compartments that must be opened in a specific order to release a treat. Finally, toys that can be filled with water or food can be as simple as a Kong filled with water that can be frozen to keep the dog amused for hours, or as complex as a toy that has several compartments that can be filled with food and water and that challenges the dog to figure out how to release the food.

End with a few tips for using interactive dog toys

When using interactive dog toys, you should keep a few things in mind. First, always supervise your dog when playing with these toys. Some toys, like the classic Kong, can be filled with treats your dog has to work to get to. This can keep them entertained, but you'll want to ensure they don't get too frustrated and give up.

Also, make sure to switch up the toys your dog plays with. They can get bored of the same old thing pretty quickly. Try to find toys made of different materials that offer different challenges. This will keep your dog entertained and engaged for longer.

Road Trip Notes 8/24 Thur 8/28

Covid put the kibosh on visiting my Dad in Florida so we canceled our flights, hotel and rental car and made a last minute decision to go on a road trip instead. It wasn't hard to figure out where to go because we love the beach and have road tripped from Las Vegas to California many times before. Our last road trip was to Newport Beach, California, which was nice, but it was crowded and touristy. Before the Newport trip we went to San Diego and stayed at the Hampton Inn near Seaworld, but the location was too far from the beach and I didn't feel good about the crackheads running around outside 24/7. We always take our dog with us on road trips. The last time we visited San Diego we found Dog Beach, which is a huge off leash beach dog park located in Ocean Beach. Shooter loved it and we loved watching him and all the dogs play in the sand and swim in the ocean. So going to San Diego again was almost a no brainer for us. I booked an Airbnb a couple blocks from Ocean Beach, which is right next to Dog Beach.

The goal for this trip was to chill out. No running around seeing the sights. We’ve done that before in San Diego. It's a gorgeous place and I love seeing the sights, but this time I needed some time to decompress.

Day 1

We arrived, plopped our bags on the bed and took the dog for a walk to get the lay of the land. Before going, I did a little research about Ocean Beach and learned that the town of Ocean Beach was laid out in the late 1800’s, but it didn’t really take off until the first decade of the 1900’s when electricity and paved roads arrived. It became a big vacation haven until the depression hit in the 1920’s. The town tanked for a while, but the 50’s came along and the population exploded. The 60’s brought in a heavy hippy surfer vibe, which still strongly remains today. I’ve been told that Ocean Beach is one of the only original California surf towns left in California that hasn’t changed all that much since the 60’s. The town motto is “Keep Ocean Beach Weird.” Perfect for us!

We left the cottage, walked the dog two blocks to the beach, made a right, and just past the rocks, Dog Beach begins. Dog Beach is one of the country’s first beaches for dogs to run freely off leash. Not many rules apply at Dog Beach except you must pick up your dog’s poop and make sure your pup behaves well with other dogs and humans. We’ve been to Dog Beach a couple times on past road trips and have never seen a vicious dog fight. Dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes zip around the beach in harmony. It's fun to watch them smash in to waves while fetching balls and playing with each other in the water. After watching surfers ride in waves and exhausted Shooter with exercise and play, we made our way back to the cottage. Before going inside, I hosed Shooter down with fresh water and did the best I could to get the sand out of his coat. Once cleaned up, I went inside to do some organizing. The first thing I noticed when entering the Airbnb was the heat. I looked for the air conditioner right away and that's when I realized there wasn't one. How did I overlook this detail? I looked down and saw a small box fan and let out a laugh. Seriously? I looked up and there was one ceiling fan over the main bed. Oops! Thankfully San Diego weather is perfect almost all year around, but the heat inside the place was really noticeable. I also noticed no television. Great! I can't stand the TV on while on vacation. The place was quirky to say the least. It was decorated in a cute beachy way and had two queen beds, a kitchenette and a bathroom. The shower was almost too tiny for Mark to fit in to it. We laughed. Ocean Beach is old! The cottage floors sloped and felt spongy in some places. Outside we had a big picnic table, umbrella, barbecue and a thankfully we had a dedicated parking space in the back (This is extremely important in Ocean Beach). After unpacking and turning the fans on full blast, we walked a few blocks to a Mediterranean food truck for dinner. The falafel was great! We brought the food back to our picnic table and sat outside in the cool salty air talking the rest of the night away.

Shooter G.

Beach Cottage

Day 2

Went to breakfast at Day Break Island Grill on Bacon street. I had sourdough waffles and Mark ordered an omelette. We were the only customers so I worried about the quality of the food. Turns out the food was amazing. So much so that we went the next day and I ordered some delicious peanut butter, banana chocolate oat bread breakfast thingy that I wanted to eat every day for the rest of my life. The staff was laid back and super friendly. Businesses in Ocean Beach encourage you to bring your dog. It's probably the most dog friendly town I've ever been to. As soon as we walked in to the restaurant they plopped down a water bowl for Shooter and gave out menus for us and our dog. They have a doggie menu! I love that. After breakfast we changed and went to the beach. The Pacific Ocean is cold. Mark went in up to his waist and waded for a while. I stayed by our chairs and watched the world go by. The beach is my happy place. I practically grew up on a beach, so whenever I get the chance, that’s where I’m going. We walked Shooter in to the waves and all along the coastline. It was a pretty day.

After the beach we returned to the house, showered, rested for a while and went out for seafood. Shooter is the most well behaved boy! We're so lucky. He quietly lays under the table and watches things while we eat. After dinner we spent the majority of the time outside at the picnic benches then went to bed. The sun wore us out! Thankfully the cottage cools when the sun goes down.

Day 3 We went back to Day Break Island Grill and chatted with the waitress again. She was telling us about the town and how most of the people there aren't tourists. She said some of the homes are Airbnb's, but most are either owned or regular yearly rentals. It made sense because the area didn't feel touristy to me. It's extremely laid back and really quite. I expected it to be rowdy at night because I assumed all of the houses were vacation rentals, but I was wrong. You could hear a pin drop outside once the sun goes down. After the beach we grabbed some lemonade and walked through a tent festival where a bunch of legit hippies were selling all sorts of weird shit that only made sense to them. They had a giant bongo circle where twenty or so people slapped bongos while smoking giant blunts. The smell of patchouli oil was strong and the smoke was thick. I felt old. After getting a contact high at the festival we walked to the pier and around town to check out the sights. I didn't see one big box store. It was like the town was frozen in time at that 70's peak surf town time. Perfect.

Got home, took showers and slathered on as much lotion as possible to keep my skin from leathering. We hung out at our picnic table and talked a lot again. Yay for no television! Eventually beachy breezes fanned us to sleep.

Day 4

No matter how much sun block I slathered on to my body, I still managed to get a sunburn. I didn't bring an umbrella from home, but I still wanted to go to the beach. It was our last day! I called a couple surf shops and none of them rented umbrellas. Why would they? I took a shot and called an equipment rental place and they told me that they had one umbrella, but they didn't rent it out. They must have heard the desperation in my voice because they broke down and rented it to me for 15 bucks for 24 hours. Yes! The place was within walking distance so I picked it up. It was one of those big half dome umbrellas that you pitch like a tent. Even better! Mark wanted to check out Coronado Beach. We ran out of time the last time we were in San Diego so we gathered everything up and spent the day there. Coronado Beach sand has a mineral in it that makes the sand sparkle like there are diamonds in it. It's beautiful. The town is ridiculously rich. Nothing like Ocean Beach at all. The homes are in the multi-millions. Ridiculous. We pitched our half dome tent and went for a really long walk along the shoreline. Everything sparkled. The waves were big. Many were out swimming in the chilly Pacific. After our walk, we hung out under our half dome for a long time talking. Mark went in for a swim while I zoned out. Towards the end of our stay, we went for another long walk in the opposite direction. I didn't want to leave. Got back to the cottage in the late afternoon/early evening, took showers and walked to dinner to a Thai fusion place in Ocean Beach. The food was great. The air cooled down our sunburns. We ate outside and watched people pass. Shooter was under our table and was being the goodest boy. Sadness sunk in towards the end of our meal because we knew it was our last night. We had to go back to the Airbnb and pack up for an early departure the next morning.

We'll definitely go back to Ocean Beach. I hope the town stays the just the way it is and doesn't turn in to one of those instagram tourist traps.

Thank you for a great time Ocean Beach!

Clean Eating Made Easy with Better Product Choices & Substitutions

This year on the blog I want to give you as many tools as possible to continue to make better choices in your own life. I want to show you that you can have a healthy relationship with food, a long term relationship with exercise, and that getting in shape doesn’t have to be expensive. So today I wanted to talk about ways to improve your health long term with just a few simple changes. I think whenever people think about paleo, they think of some drastic change that is close to impossible. At least that’s how I felt when I first thought about implementing paleo into my own life. But like any other habit, a few small changes can make a big impact with time.

Today I want to show you some of my favorite products that I purchase regularly from Thrive Market that help me make better choices with my diet, day in and day out. By making some of these small changes, you’ll be instantly making a difference in your own health, especially long term. That means a happier life with less health issues, doctor visits, and most of all, less health-related bills. And the best part about Thrive Market is that you can find all of these products for up to 30% below traditional retail prices. One thing that throws people off when it comes to healthier food choices is often the price. But Thrive Market removes that issue all together. Everything you’ll see me talking about today is going to have a price tag lower than MSRP. That means money stays in your pocket so you can use it towards better things! Like living a hella fun life, every single day.

So let’s get in to it! And let’s kick it off with condiments, because condiments can easily become a downfall when trying to make better choices with what you eat.

If you like dipping your sweet potato fries in ketchup or dunking your cauliflower pizza in ranch, well that doesn’t have to change! Primal Kitchen has tons of amazing products including Ranch, Ketchup, a ton of other dressing, AND they also have avocado oil spray with no other added ingredients or fillers. If you take a look at most normal ranch brands out there, you’ll find ingredients like modified food starch, monosodium glutamate, artificial flavors, disodium phosphate, sorbic acid and calcium disodium. How sketchy is that? Primal Kitchen uses all organic ingredients. And you can actually pronounce everything on the label. And at Thrive Market, you can get the ketchup for 17% off MSRP, the ranch for 25% off, and the avocado oil spray for 28% off!! How amazing is that?!

I also always purchase Rao’s Arrabbiata Sauce and Thrive Market Coconut Aminos. If you start looking at ingredients on the products you’re purchasing, you’ll quickly find that there is added sugar is EVERYTHING, especially marinara. But not in Rao’s. And it’s the best sauce you will EVER taste. And for when I’m cooking anything that requires Asian ingredients, I always turn to coconut aminos instead of soy sauce since soy is so incredibly processed. And Thrive Market label provides the most affordable coconut aminos on the market!

Now I have all kinds of pantry staples for you to stock up on!

I ALWAYS keep bone broth in my freezer as well as my pantry. And the Thrive Market Bone Broth is great for keeping in your pantry at all times. It’s made with all clean, organic ingredients and you can get it for up to 42% off!

Spices and spice blends are so important for full, flavorful meals every day to keep you interested in your healthy food. But many spice blends include fillers such as cornstarch or they add sugar to it. And they usually are never organic. But Primal Palate Spices uses all organic ingredients to create the most delicious spice blends EVER. Their Steak Seasonings blend is a must in any kitchen!

And I’m about to throw you a curve ball with a non-paleo item. But since so many people love pasta and have a hard time giving it up, I wanted to share my favorite pasta brand that includes veggies in it. Cybele’s Free to Eat Superfood Green Rotini Pasta includes only green lentil, kale, spinach, and broccoli, and it’s damn good! It’s such a better option than most pastas on the market, plus it’s 20% off MSRP!

And if you’re anything like me, meaning you love to bake and snack, well Thrive Market has all the options for you. And they make it super simple to search! You can easily search ‘Paleo’ in the search tab then choose your category whether it’s baking, chocolate, snacks, candy, and more. They make finding your exact brand super easy and finding a brand new company you’ve never seen before, easier than ever!

If you like a crunchy snack and find yourself turning to chips on a regular basis, especially chips like ranch Doritos, well start looking at their label and thinking twice. They use ingredients like canola oil, multiple kinds of sugar, and other sketchy ingredients like sodium caseinate, disodium inosinate, and disodium guanylate. Do you know what those ingredients are? I don’t. But I do know that Siete Chips ranch tortilla chips only uses ingredients that I can pronounce and that I use in my own recipes on a regular basis. And you can get all of their different kinds of chips for 20% off!

Now if you’re a granola lover and have it for breakfast every single day, it may be time to switch it up to a brand that won’t irritate the gut as much as popular brands on the market can. Many of those brands include soy lecithin, excess sugar, and different flours and oils. But Paleonola has a ton of different flavors to choose from and includes absolutely no extra sugar in their Chocolate Fix flavor! Just clean, wholesome ingredients!

Now when it comes to baking, paleo has really made it’s stamp in the flour and sugar world. Instead of only having white and brown sugar to choose from, and white and wheat flour to take home, there are now a ton of unprocessed sugars and clean ingredient flours to use! I personally love Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour and Coomb’s Organic Maple Sugar, and both are over 20% off MSRP. Both of these substitutions are so much better on the gut and better for blood sugar!

And let’s end this with some of my favorite snacks and treats. Because let’s face it – if you’re going to stick with any sort of diet or lifestyle change, it has to feel like you’re not missing out. And when I first started paleo, I was desperately scared of giving up treats. While I do believe treats have their place and shouldn’t be consumed daily, I do think making better choices with those treats is super important.

If you’ve been looking for some snacks to throw in your purse or car for after a workout or in between running errands, two of my favorite brands I always keep on hand include Primal Kitchen Peanut Butter Protein Bars and Wild Zora Meat & Veggies Bars. The protein bars only have a handful of ingredients and the protein comes from egg whites. And the meat and veggie bars are so much better than the normal jerky on the market. Each bar contains grass-fed meat, multiple types of veggies and is sweetened by natural dried fruit! And you can find both for 20-25% off MSRP.

If you’re a chocolate lover, Thrive Market has so many different items to choose from. Whether you like a solid a 100% cacao bar or you just want some chocolate chip cookies, they got yo’ back. I personally love having Alter Eco Coconut Clusters on hand for a sweet and salty crunchy snack. I also love having Eating Evolved Coconut Butter Cups for whenever I have a sweet craving and need a little extra fat to keep me full and satisfied, instead of just reaching for more. And last but definitely not least, Simple Mills Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don’t know how they make the most delicious cookies with such clean ingredients, but they do. Go look at the ingredients list in most cookies on the market and prepare yourself to be appalled. But not with Simple Mills. Stop feeding yourself or your children cookies that have ingredients you’ve never even heard of! And when you can get all these treats for up to 25% off MSRP, you really have no excuses!!

All these brands through Thrive Market make eating clean easier than ever. And that’s why I love Thrive Market. Their whole mission is to make healthy living easy and affordable for everyone. Whether you’re trying to eat keto or vegan or gluten-free or you just want to find items that are fair-trade certified, Thrive Market makes it so incredibly quick and easy. Plus now they even offer the highest quality meat and seafood! Now you barely have to even go to the grocery store. Everything is quickly delivered to you in packaging that is completely recyclable, which means 100% zero waste!

Eating healthy and feeling your best all comes from small choices that become bigger with time. Making small choices like changing the ketchup in your house to learning to use a new baking flour will make a huge difference later on. It’s time to be more aware of what you are putting into your body and understanding the differences between different products on the market. And Thrive Market will help you make that happen. If you haven’t tried out Thrive Market yet, not only will you get up to 30% off your Thrive Market’s prices, but today you can get an EXTRA 25% off your first order + free 30 day trial! That’s savings on top of savings! And you know what the best part is? I’ve put all my favorite products together in a PaleOMG Kit! So instead of writing all of these down or having to go back and fourth between tabs, it’s all in one kit! All you have to do is sign up for your free 30 day trial to check it out! And if you’re already a Thrive Market member, all you have to do is click ‘claim offer’ to check it out! 

I hope this post gets you excited to continue on your own health journey. Just because it’s February doesn’t mean your clean eating habits should change. Keep with it, continue making small changes in your life, and you’ll quickly see how much better you can feel. We should be forever grateful for the bodies we were given and we should take care of them, one better choice at a time.

Fun Pet Toys differ greatly in their trouble degrees, therefore you want to pick types that'll be right for your dog. Let's review a couple of that'll be good to start with.

Kongs- Found just about anyplace, Kong is one of many first companies ahead out having an Fun Pet Toy. They've an Exciting shape for them with an extensive opening at one end. You can begin your dog out by putting some Squeaky dog toys dog food in the toy, enable you to dog watch and smell the toy. Set the toy down and see if your dog begins hoping to get your dog food out. If they don't right away, you are able to show them again that there's food in there and try covering a little peanut butter only inside. That generally gets your dog started. When they understand there's food inside, they often take care of the rest!

Tricky Handle Ball- Not quite as popular because they once were and largely found online. This is an orange ball with a good sized whole in the middle of it. Simple to fill! Pet food simply falls out when rolled about, important to getting pets used to the thought of food in a ball. At first, you may need to position dog food around the ball.

I usually recommend the Kongs as there are therefore many good uses for them and they're really durable. Apart from these, Starmark has some exemplary Fun Pet Toys which can be really durable. Premier Active Pal presents some great Fun toys as properly, I wouldn't say they're as durable whilst the kongs or Starmark toys though. Any of the services and products by these companies are a good choice. It's good to possess at the least three to six different Fun Toys around. I would suggest that for a couple reasons.
