Starfish hunting

Today we went to the beach for about an hour and then did some shopping around Dartmouth. When we got home, Jer's Mom took me out to the ocean so we could look for starfish. Last time we were here, we saw a few but this time no luck so far. They are so neat and you don't see them in Ontario (freshwater, of course) so I am so amazed by them. Instead I did pick up a few other neat shells and hollow crab-heads on our walk. We might try again tomorrow. This photo is of periwinkle shells, all around some rocks. There was a big storm before we got here and a lot of seaweed and other things washed up on the shore. These little guys eat the algae attached to the rocks.

Last night was also a really good time, we went to a place in Halifax called Rockbottom which is actually a restaurant with its own brewery attached. It's all rock and in the basement hence the name. Anyway it was a good time, we drank a lot of beer and played a lot of trivia. We didn't win any of the rounds but figured it was because the other groups were cheating. Duh.

Tuesday workout:
-3 x 12 bodyweight squats
-3 x 12 plie squats, 20#
-3 x 12 straight legged DL, 50#, 60#, 60#
-3 x 12 hamstring curls, 25#, 45#, 45#
-3 x 12 standing calf machine raises, 30#
-3 x 12 pushups
-3 x 12 bodyweight bench dips
We played some baseketball after that, a game of "15". He won.

It's worth mentioning how different the machines can be at different gyms. The sizes of the equipment vary and also the weights do too... they shouldn't but they do. Normally I do 35# calf raises, today with 3 sets of 12 at 30#, my calves are both really sore. Good idea to keep this in mind when traveling or starting somewhere new.
