I've been starting my treadmill work out for a month and a half now and I'm typically on the treadmill between 1-3 times a week. Even though I am doing this more regularly, versus doing nothing before, I still get so out of breath and want to quit just after 3 minutes on the clock. But of course, I don't quit and then I wonder how the heck did I get this far?

I guess they don't call it a "work out" for nothing. You really do work! I can see why so many quit after working out for just a month....

Lately, it seems like the newer TV series are getting more gory and violent. We have been following "The Walking Dead" shows and I've never seen so many stabs in the head in my life! They make it look so easy. It started to make me think that maybe it's good to have a handy knife around in case I need to save to my life. So I decided to go to the Flea Market and found myself a knife for $12 this past weekend. It's not a switch blade, since it's illegal anyway but it does pop out from the side...

When I first started running on the treadmill, I started swelling a lot. At first I was scared that maybe I had a health condition that I didn't know about but then I realized it's because my heart is pumping the hardest it ever has in the last 5 years. And this hard pumping causes your body to swell.

It also discouraged me at first. Usually after I run for a mile or two, I would look at the gym mirror immediately after and think I look fat and that the last month of running on the treadmill ...

As I was driving to work early today, I felt so at peace with Ocean Beach's quiet streets. As I watched pet owners walking their dogs in the morning, it made me feel so proud to live here.

Residents who live here look more fit and are such great dog lovers like we are. It made me feel like we belong where we are.

It's been two months since we've lived in Ocean Beach and we love every minute of it. We used to live in Pacific Beach where there were younger people who are really obnoxious and do...

I suggest you guys do a phone order and take your food home to-go because the line is really long. The food is just amazing though.

We picked up a new hobby after we moved to OB. It's fishing! We found out that you don't need a fishing license to fish on the pier so we bought a couple of fishing hooks and met with our buddy who is the expert in fishing. On our first trip, we caught a leopard shark and my husband's friends caught a sting ray and guitar fish. See the picture of the guitar fish below.

Our friend caught this guitar fish around 8pm on June 28th, 2012


We started fishing around 6pm. It was a pretty day. (view from...

Did you know you needed a license in order to get a certificate, which signifies you're married? There's a process you need to go through in order to make it official. Many people get their license and then have an officiant in a public setting or a priest perform the ceremony and then that priest/officiant will need to sign that paper that day and mail it in. Or you can just knock it all out at the same time and get your license and certificate done at the same time at the San Diego Court Ho...

There's a little private beach area near that cliffs where you can relax with your loved ones. Although the space is small, it is a great secret place to visit. You'll need to explore around to find this little beach area? Have you found it already? Make your way out to Sunset Cliffs and post a comment here if you've located this spot.

The Ocean Beach Chili Cook Off took place over the weekend and the day was beautiful. There were 28 on our list but many cancelled or ran out of chili early. I personally voted for #17 which had venison in their chili.



We got to the line early at 10AM. Here were the prices. We both got the master tasters to try all of the chilis.


At 10AM, vendors were just starting to set up. It was a wonderful day.


We went back to the chili section to try more chili and it got crowded! We shouldn't have left...

I don't work today because it's Saturday so I took our chow chow to the dog park in Ocean Beach. He got tired after 20 minutes of playing with other dogs. On our drive back home from the park, I was so happy it turned out to be such a great morning. Happy non-June Gloom day Ocean Beach! Come out and play everyone!

I went the the OB farmers market yesterday and saw the OB Chili Kick Off poster line-up. Thought I'd share. It's quite a list of bands playing next weekend!
