Today-fabulous Malibu Walk!
Green! FRESH! BIRDS! I saw a entirely yellow bird last week swishing in the bushes! I’ve no idea what kind it is and it was entirely yellow :D!
BIG TIME WSM fun updates too today!! Looks like The Georgian Bull is going to the finals too! He is my favorite looking Strongman with his TRAPS! Not Khal Drago hot or anything like that, just freaking cool trap attack!
Big Loz’s youtube has been really fun but hard to see too as he busted his achilles on his last WSM. He’s done 12? Something incredible like that. I really like him. He has a great chill, kind, personality. If you are into it, check out Big Loz on youtube, he has a ton of good videos.
Her’s Khal Drago because I don’t think he’s been in my log yet

A very cool podcast.
For me there has been a sea change in my life over the last year and a half or so, and its effected a change in how I lift. Its because I had started addressing my own inner strife!
I’ve logged a bit about this and I have also been honest with myself about the way I train since I started logging it here. Its never been the smart way to go. Its been the way I calmed myself down.
Things are not that way anymore, I have achieved things! I now do intra workout dextrose! I also take my time and isolate exercises, I actually do accessory lifts! I don’t go bananas near as often on lifts! THIS IS MASSIVE!
Anywho, these two talk about it. About the lessons you learn along the way.
!ALSO! The stress factor! It just hit me last week when I was talking about Malibu, my stress levels have dropped substantially.
The biggest reason is my job- I don’t work ER anymore!! I don’t see the amount of hard cases, I don’t interact with that amount of emotional stress that I did day in day out 11 ish years.
I thought moving from a bad toxic clinic years ago was great, now that I work at a great clinic and no longer work ER its even better! I am able to work as a tech in a way that fits me most. I have let go of ideas that even though I might be able to do many things- even be good at it- if they make me miserable its not worth it. I can be good at things that are not glamorous and still get true fulfillment from it.
And also my home life is less stressful. Mossimo went to heaven 2 years ago next week, following that was a year of true lonely dogless heartache. I have accumulated a year of Malibu love that has bolstered me up and absolutely helped me make better choices for taking care of myself.
ANYWHO AGAIN! Its a great podcast that hits alot of points!

Here it is! :)!!! So sweet, a feel good , class act move by Thor :D!!!
Oh I know! I spotted her on YouTube too!!! So spoiled with the YouTube channels lately!!
I have been a Instagram follower of hers for a few years! Aleina ( spelling is wrong for sure) is incredible!
And she has a very good message too if you check out her stuff as I think she’s a mental health /therapist professional in some capacity, very cool all around!
The MartinS!/Thor videos showing them evolving from training partners/YT collaborators into a full blown bromance were definitely super cool.

Malibu Walk!
It came to me that its about time for a deload so I am doing it ! I don’t feel run down or injured thank GOD, but concluded that its a good idea to pull back and chill a bit.
My sleep has not been ideal. Part of it being a few things and a big factor is its summer and its light longer–BUT! The longest day of the year is close so that means shorter days ahead! Minute by minute, I’ll take it!
Sandbags at the turbo gym are falling apart. The 100# rogue one is MIA, and the 150# rogue one is busting up and seeping sand, the zipper being messed up on the top of it. It then will sprinkle sand down my bra :{ or crunch and slip on the floor trying to get purchase.
I considered very briefly putting my own 150# bag there for common use but quickly changed my mind since I am a quiet home gym equipment hoarder and have excepted this.
Also I don’t want the girl who wears tons of perfume stinking up my sand bag! There’s a chick who does that and I can smell it all over the log, the gym mat, the squat rack she uses.
I found the source one day and seriously smelled her from across the gym. Its way too much! I suppose I am growing old and tetchy because cologne and perfume really get on my nerves. Its not even pleasant-- its pushy, stinkin SMELLS!
This week in dogs: Chichi’s in cheerleading uniforms!
This week in thoughts.

Strongman Fan Nerd News! This is stupidly exciting for me to see. Brian Shaw talks about changing his tactics, leaning down and getting athletic.
Thor looked wildly HUGE to me at the Arnold, as in dangerously so. I hope they both size down! So they can live a bit longer in my basic uneducated understanding of size of humans.

RAINY MALIBU WALK! What a fabulous day it is, cool and raining! The waters in the creek are super high, way to fast of a current for ducks to hang out. Malibu has had the zoomies twice since we got back home! :D!!!
Its very strange to experience humidity here in Denver and now that I think about it its been humid for a few weeks. Probably why my knees feel more then the normal puffy even when I haven’t lifted much. Its so dry here normally any little bit is very noticeable. My head as well has been a bit barometric and headachey. Worth it for hanging out with my girl in the summer storms!
