  1. So when we were all out in AZ at the competition, Jimi got some of this amazing "Black Bean Hummus" which I thought was really good. I ended up searching for recipes on the internet and was able to make some (but my camera's battery was dead, so no picture yet).

     

    The recipe is:

    1 15 oz can black beans

    3 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter

    1 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil (I didn't have either. I would have used peanut oil if the jar of PB was new and would have just skimmed it off the top, so I had to use a few tsp's of water in the food processor when the mixture got dry.)

    Garlic, Fresh squeezed lime, cayenne, chili pepper, salt, pepper to taste.

     

    Then put in the peanut butter & oil and slowly add the beans until pureed (takes 1 - 2 minutes), then spice and enjoy.

  2. If you're trying to bulk, I wouldn't worry about putting some kind of limit on them because of the carbohydrates, beans are a great bulk food . Also, if you plan on eating that many nuts/seeds a day, I would space it between 2 meals, just to space out your fat intake a little more (I used to eat far too many nuts/seeds at a time, and I started feeling a lot better once I started spacing it out and cutting down my intake of them a bit).

  3. What a 5(ish) mile walk in the muggy, swampy, so-hot-out-because-the-sun-and-humidity-joined-forces makes.

     

    Anyway, having the day off, I decided to go for a leisurely stroll (being that it was 75 or felt somewhere around there), and so I left my apartment around 3:30 and started walking on trails around town. The Woodlands (The actual town I live in, not Houston) has a lot of nice bike trails which I decided to hike on, however, to get to them from my apartment, you have to walk about 4 blocks of no-sidewalk, and there were school buses and lots of puddles because there was rain (and flooding) here a couple days ago. While I was out it started to get really hot/humid/muggy/whatever other weather related reason that keeps people away from Houston, and so I kept going ahead to a store to get some water, about 1.5 miles away. Once there it was pushing 5, and the sun was *REALLY* coming down, but I bought a gallon of water and took it with me, on the logic that carrying it is exercise, and if I need to "take some weight off", I can take off the cap and rehydrate, and that a gallon of water should be a safe amount to have for the 3 mile walk home (I took the long way). Got home, showered, and now I think I'm going to find some food. Great walk for me, and the bugs who had a field day eating my legs, whatever, I knew what I was getting into.

    So after 19 - 20 months of my previous blog not being updated (and the fact that I haven't lived in Pennsylvania for about 19 - 20 months), I've decided to start a new blog/training journal.

     

    While being a physically active person, I haven't done much in the way of strength training (outside of some pull ups, push-ups and dips) aside from carrying heavy things at work. I don't know exactly what kind of training I want to do (or even if I'll stick to one particular thing, as I love most forms of exercise), but I plan on taking a picture once a week to see what kind of changes my body goes through as the weeks go on.

     

    Whatever my plan ends up being, they all seem that they all start somewhere, a "Before" picture, so I attached one at the bottom.
