I'm killing the diet but not the work outs, plus I worked to 8:00 yesterday and didn't want to do anything.

Thrilled that you're dialed in on the nutritional plan. However, you do know I'm only going to let you skate for so long before I start slingin' mud!

Hey... nutrition boy... gettin' it done!

Yes yes, I understand. Not happening the next few day though, I'm full of excuses and right now it's gout. I'm not even sure what triggered this attack, it might actually be loosing the weight.

Well, that sucks!

I'm sure you know this but some general things to remember about gout;
1.) It is often triggered by diet. More specifically, foods that cause an increase in uric acid.
2.) Avoid alcohol - mostly beer (yeah, you read that right, sorry)
3.) Avoid sugar/foods high in sugar with exception to fruits and vegetables (no tomatoes though)
4.) Increase your water consumption
5.) Take an anti-inflammatory (NSAID)

The above and about two bucks will get you a cup-o-Joe at most gas stations. (No sugar in that coffee though!)

Obviously, I hope you bring this up with your nutritionist at work.

Sending you healthy and healing vibes, my friend!

@mch1984 - Wanted to get a sub 11min average so pushed for it.

Hope you're feeling better!

Thanks, yeah this one seems to be going on the down hill side of things pretty quick. It's usually at 5 or 6 days for me when it hits. This one may be done after just a few, or at least the worst of it.

Well, one bright thing is that you live in a hot, dry area. People with gout are often severely impacted by high humidity.

Hang tough!

Have you tried cranberry for your gout?

 

[Katrina71]

Nitrites...ugh

So made some progress with the lagoon, got the rock and sand in. Here are some pictures of the rock before I added the sand. I did end up moving the rock a little after the pictures but not much. After seeing how my yellow tang reacted to the rock I'm really excited. He was swimming all around the rock in the open area, you could tell he enjoyed the new set up. The water was severely clouded after the sand so I'll get some pics after it's cleared up. Also, just so happen the only LFS we have happen to have a blue dot toby in at the moment. I don't typically buy things from them unless I catch it right after they get them in and I did. He's fat and healthy looking and my wife as wanted a puffer for a long time, so I picked him up. He is already eating good and took some frozen krill and some home made mix I have. I'll get some pics of him too once the water as cleared. This week I am going to rip apart the sump and clean it up and rearrange some. I have to fit the new/used skimmer in there and need to make some room. I'm doing good, I wanted to make the change without having to remove the little tang and stressing him too bad, and it's been working. I don't know if it's just him or if it's the captive bred part, but he's hard to rattle. He'll even let me put my hand in there and cup him in my hand a little, he seems to almost like it.

Looks like things are getting off to a great start!

Hotter than a billy goat with two peckers out there today but I'm goofy and went in the heat anyway!

 

[crusso1993]

@mch1984 - This one was rough today. I pulled the same stupidity I always do when starting over. I only ate an avocado, handful of almonds and 2 granola bars yesterday and nothing so far today. Was hotter today than yesterday and no breeze at all.
After 3 miles, I had to stop every 1/2 mile for about 2 minutes.
I got out there though and got the deal done! (And I don't mean deal when I say "deal!")

 

[mch1984]

@crusso1993 you are getting it done, already up to five miles. The gout is out so I'll be going tonight, although it wont be running and it wont be 5 miles.

Thanks, yeah I am enjoying the tank already.

Hows the skimmer working out for you?

I don't know yet lol, I haven't installed it yet. I haven't had the time to tear apart the sump yet, hopefully sometime this week I will get around to it.
