Veggie, I hope you are already safely off the highway! It may be exciting in veggieworld, but boring has its benefits.
Merde!!
Heya Veggie,
I love this log, freakin learn something every day here.
Do u have any recommendations for plantar fascitis? I fractured one ankle and dislocated the other, so I have to believe that is contributing. Any ideas?
Thanky you sexy mama
hope you got off the hot road–grilled Veggie
Hiya wife, I missed some excitement.
I was reading the whole “S/O tell me everything or not” convo and really I have no comment since I don’t know what secret was kept from you. The way you wrote it reminded me of a friend I have that was married to a homosexual. If your ex’s secret was anywhere near as urgent as being in a relationship with a gay guy, then yes, secrets like that should be kept in the open lol
Nice dip PR and sorry about the car breaking down. Cars breaking down is hot topic in my real world right now. Hmm.

I’m currently sitting in my broken-down car on the shoulder of I-95 waiting for my dad to come to my rescue. I had to go walk a client (dog) and was cruising along when next thing I know my car starts slowing down and the battery idiot light on my dashboard lights up. Oh well. Sucks because it is like 90+ degrees today. Hope I can still make it to the gym before they close at 8 pm.
Always excitement in veggieworld![/quote]
Eek car trouble, for me when the car looses power while driving it has been the alternator or the battery(old or drained by the alternator not doing it’s job or by my radio wigging out and draining it). What type of car is it? Is your dad a car guy or are you the car guy?

I’ve thought about that before and the idea always amuses me. I can just imagine a woman in a pencil skirt or something else totally inappropriate for the gym strapping up and towing her car out of traffic. What a sight that would be!
Hope you made it back safe…check in soon!!

That would be an awesome picture!! Now to find me a strong lady and a harness…
I hate breaking down on the freeway! Worst. Why not just down the block, right?
And BB rows at 142x4 !! Aweseome, Veg.
Also, I noticed that you will do pull-ups and then bench heavy on the same day. My pull-ups totally burn me up. I can’t do max benches even the NEXT day. Phenomenal work in here.
lol about the harness. i can so see veggie doing that!!!
You girlies are fucking funny! FWIW I used to drive a car that didn’t shift into reverse anymore because a bushing in the linkage went bad… so I used to push my car out of parking spots all of the time. Sadly I was not single at the time because I met lots of guys doing it. They were always coming over to help me, asking me about why I was pushing it. Drove the car in that condition for about 6 months. My sister felt bad for me so when she bought a new car she gave me her old one. I think my family was kinda worried about me. You know, starting to think that I was a little nuts! (Which is totally true by the way!)
Been a very busy week in veggieworld. Spending my free time training and haven’t gotten a chance to post it yet. Amongst other things, a killer leg session on Tuesday which I am still feeling. Hoping my acupuncturist can set me right this afternoon. Promise to get back later today to do that and catch up with everybody’s logs too.
Also… HURRAY for CSA, today is the first pick-up. Will have to post a pic of the veggies!

So, the veggies at CSA were not that photogenic. I did get some delicious pea shoots (with yummy little flowers intact), broccoli, lettuce. pak choi, swiss chard, and an onion with greens. Gave my mom the potatoes and radishes. Split the whole lot with our share partner who is my ex-almost-mother-in-law (not the recent ex either.) Long story, but we are great friends. Gonna be a killer summer of farm-fresh veggies… I can feel it!
Training

Monday- OFF due to car breakdown! But I did hike 1 hr in the woods with one dog and 20 min walk with another before the car incident. And it was my alternator. Fixed now, no worries.
Thanks for all of the concern… all’s well that ends well.

Felt like I was on top of the world and going to die all at the same time. Very sweaty. But I loved every minute of it!
In hindsight maybe I overdid it a little. Legs are still feeling it.
Will be back tomorrow to post Wed and Thur training. Too tired ![]()
That is so funny about the car. I figured pushing it along the motorway wasn’t going to be happening. But parking. Totally makes sense lol.
Beautiful curvy pic, as always ![]()
Hope you get a good nights sleep.
your body reminds me of an ex. Do you smoke pounds of weed as well? lol.
alexus- Thanks honey. Never enough sleep! That car was crazy. I actually bought it from a junkyard and fixed it up. Didn’t have power ANYTHING and I loved it. Also low emissions and got 30 mpg. It was a VW Fox wagon. Back seat folded down flat so there was a big cargo area for my bike, etc. Large enough for a full sheet of plywood too.
PB Andy- Not anymore.
Veggie~ sorry to hear about your car! Man days like that suck
Nice training
Your pic looks great!
As soon as you mentioned the sitch with your car, I knew it was the alt. Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Always a pain. I don’t know about strapping on a harness, though. Especially not in the Tri-state area heat! That’s a monster in and of itself!
You’re looking gorgeous, as usual, and good stuff with the…um…veggies. Time to go find a tire.
Nice pics per your usual and that is pretty exciting about the veggies
Gonna be an epic summer, I can feel it already!!
