Bee Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I hope your doctor can help you with your energy and circulation! I imagine that would be frustrating. I struggle with my energy levels as well. I'm trying to address that with eating better (no easy feat) and drinking a ton more water. Both methods definitely help me, it's just a matter of turning it into a habit! Quote Moon Bee // Druid // Level 4 Challenges // DBL 1 2 3 4 5: Bee is Everything Link to comment
chocolaterunner Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I did 25 yards of fly today and did not die after not doing it for a few weeks, so I look at this as a win I am in awe of you. I can barely do 25 yards of...any stroke.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Chocolate Runner Link to comment

Both methods definitely help me, it's just a matter of turning it into a habit! I drink a ton of water anywhere between 2-4 liters depending on my daily activity level. However, I do tend to stop drinking as much towards the end of the day. Doesn't stop me from waking up at about 2am to go pee though...

german Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey! do NOT mess with JICAMA!, that's an awesome vegetable, nutritionally is almost like drinking water, but it will make you feel satisfied until the next meal!

Princess Pineapple Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have never heard of jicama. I bet they don't sell it in Tesco. Quote 6WC #1 #2 #3 #4 Princess Pineapple's Epic Quests Link to comment
Syren Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have never heard of jicama. I bet they don't sell it in Tesco. They sometimes have them at Publix. Supposedly they are popular at Mexican grocery stores... however I have not been able to find one of those in the Eastern Shore area -- Vietnamese shops over in Mobile, but Fairhope and Daphne seem to be as diverse as an E. coli laboratory culture.

Syren Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 awesome job! how is your weekend going? Taking it easy again. Did my cleaning and a walk to the coffee shop -- slept in today. Yesterday had a girls night with some friends -- I have discovered that I am old: drinking more than one or two glasses of wine is not something I can happily recover from the next day The laboratory classes that I teach are cancelled this week because of a holiday, so Monday I am going to swim, and then go collect some starfish for a friend's thesis project -- because I will take any excuse to SCUBA dive -- plus starfish are much cooler than expected. Should be a semi-relaxing week -- but I am aiming to make it to at least 3 out of 4 master's practices (since last week I made 2, and the week before I made 1)I am also shooting for a 50 yard fly time of about 40 seconds off the blocks without losing my goggles -- tbh I will be happy if I just don't lose my goggles Quote STRENGTH (0) | DEXTERITY (-1) | CONSTITUTION (1) | WISDOM (3) | INTELLIGENCE (3) | CHARISMA (2) Syren -- Chaotic Good -- Human Druish Ranger -- Current Challenge -- Battle Log Link to comment

I now notice I get drunk easily and recovery is shit. It is a wasted day! I like you having goals for your swim this week! You got this!! Due to binge watching the final episodes of Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (an anime, sequel to Fate/Zero), I did not swim before diving -- but I did dive! and it was chilly. Lots of fry fish, poor viz though. Great time. Since I missed practice today -- I must go on Saturday to get my 3 practices with the Master's in That's ok, they may do the ePostal swim then Days this week should be full of job applications, learning R, playing around with Grass GIS, potentially learning some biochemistry, definitely looking up literature on Global Warming, and figuring out oyster physiology. Oh, and prep work for the bio 2 labs. It seems busy when I write it out.

lilbichy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Did you finish Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works? I started that when it was a weekly and did not finish. I have watched the original one though. Quote Link to comment

I have watched the original one though. Yes I did. I felt that it was part very compelling storyline, part wtf are they doing with this anime. The animation is beautiful though. It is available on Netflix right now (dubbed, which is how I watch anime, because I do not want to read subtitles).

I mix dubbed and subbed, depending on what I am doing. I prefer subbed but when I am multitasking (playing WoW) dubbed is the only way. =) Quote Link to comment

It did get a bit strange at the end though -- I should pick up the manga sometime to see if there is something the anime was missing Quote STRENGTH (0) | DEXTERITY (-1) | CONSTITUTION (1) | WISDOM (3) | INTELLIGENCE (3) | CHARISMA (2) Syren -- Chaotic Good -- Human Druish Ranger -- Current Challenge -- Battle Log Link to comment
