smith machine

Please may I introduce to you
my newest deal - A "Smith Machine" - (link)
For what will eventually be pull-ups and chin-ups and
all kinds of things!

CrossFit guys do pull-ups with a towel over a bar.
OMG.

I am even dreaming of CrossFit. 
Did 35 sit ups in my sleep the other night.

This Smith Machine is from craigslist - 
the undisputed best place to buy work-out stuff
like weights -  people want to get rid of it cheap!
This was $100 cash. So it's win-win.

My current set-up is ok.
But I wanted a cage ever since I saw one in L.A.
Much more practical.

One more thing for my gym to be complete:
A fan. A really good fan.
I simply can not find my super wonderful Vornado fan.
Perhaps it disappeared into thin air?

This is part of my new fancy eating plan.
Flounder with spinach/balsamic 
vinegar/blackberries/walnuts.

I like to have Beef one day.
Chicken one day.
Beef next day.
Then Fish day.
Then Beef.
Then Pork.
Then one day I probably just don't eat.
Or maybe eat anything! Or nothing really planned.
Or mix it up.
Since I was having beef almost every day,
This is about 50% less beef intake.
Focusing on the leaner proteins.
Even on LoCarb, it's good to watch the fat intake!

I love this new way of fancy cooking!
Eating beef jerky and pork rinds with a can 
of Cheeze Whiz just isn't "good enough" 
for me any more. Call me a food snob! I know!
Tuna from a can - not so much.
Globs of cream cheese - well......
Peanut Butter right from the jar - no thanks!
Last year, I didn't think I would ever get tired of 
eating my hamburger patty - every day.

Hope your day is truly wonderful!

  1. Tuna from a can. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

  3. Love the new equipment. I doubt I could do one chin-up though even if my life depended on it. Go you!

  4. I can not yet do one chin-up or pull-up.
    But that is my goal: One. One day.
    Even a Sissy-fied chin-up!

  5. Peanut Butter straight from the jar = nectar of the gods. Best eaten with a spoon once the jar gets half empty, or you end up with schmears of peanut butter on your knuckles.

  6. Your flounder dish looks fabulous! I wouldn't be surprised if you start dropping more weight what with the beef reduction...
