Funny Water

I went running yesterday with Jesse and my dog Rocky (3 miles). I like to weigh myself before and after I run to see how much water my body loses and I lose an average 2 lbs of water loss. For some reason yesterday, I lost 8 lbs of water! I felt "fake skinny" for a little while, but I retained most of the water loss by the end of the night. It was nice to see a lower number on the scale though.

By the way, best work out song: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, and a crazy dog named Rocky to run with.

Shots, Shots and More Shots


Since we are going to the jungles and mountains of Peru we have to get four specific shots/medicines.


  1. Malaria medicine/pills: Which I hear make you sick anyways.

  2. Yellow Fever Shot

  3. Typhoid shot

  4. Altitude sickness meds: Make you sick too.

Oh well, I guess it worth it. Jesse might need more shots since he hasn't have all his immunizations. I think we'll be extremely sick even before we go to Peru. It's very sobering to know that Iquitos, Peru is the #2 malaria capital of the world. Lovely. I guess that is why we take all these shots and meds.

Chicago!!


Jesse and I are going to Chicago the last week of August for my friend Jessica's wedding. I'm so excited to see her and to be in Chicago. Everyone one I speak to says Chicago is a great city, so if you know places to go let us know.
