I just recently heard about Hyrox from some people at the gym. Kind of like Crossfit, but with a lot of running & cardio in it. Their IG says ‘World Series of Fitness Racing’. Yesterday they had a competition here in Mexico City, and a lot of people from the gym competed. Basically it was 8 x 1km running and 8 x workouts like sledge pull & push, wall-balls, skiing, farmers carry, etc. You could compete in teams, pairs, couples, solo, and different age groups. Cheered for Milla my Finn friend who I think finished in 5th place and a guy from Sweden, Hugo, who came 2nd. Also our team from the gym finished in 2nd place! Wow, I’m so impressed at their fitness level, so now I’m going to give this Hyrox-thingy a try for a month.

Realized I need to stop snacking on all of the crap too, so right now I have paleo bread cooking in the oven 🙂 Fingers crossed my motivation lasts for more than a week hahahhaaaa… I actually managed to finish baking it while writing this masterpiece of a blog and I must say it turned out fabulously! Will be making more of this!

The theme for shooting this week was wet, slippery, & latex-y…

It’s pretty much exactly one month until I’m going to Jamaica. Had to dig out my Jamaican bikini and see if it still fits 🙂 Last week when I spoke to Troy he said there was 1 room left. If you are interested in joining me at the Mycelia Retreat on May 23rd to the 26th – hit them up www.myceliajm.com 🙂

Hit the gym and it’s been so hot here in Mexico, so I’m sweaty before I even started working out! Pretty good though because I always feel like I worked out harder than I did 😉

Hunter is being his usual spoiled self. I like to start mornings with coffee in bed and Hunter gets some milk too to feel like he’s part of the morning chill. Also practicing with him being in the stroller. Want to be able to take him out on walks 🙂 So far we’ve been strolling around in the apartment only, but will hopefully try the elevator and at least take a peek outside next week 🙂

I finished a couple of books by Rebecca Yarros. Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, book 1 & 2 in the Empyrean series. The 1st book was exciting and it was a bit like Game of Thrones for young adults. The 2nd book I feel lost it a bit. The main characters’ dragon was always flying faster and faster and what got the most description and details were the sex scenes. But that was also so mind blowing and always better and better that I actually ended up skimming past them. Not like me if you know me hahhaaaa…

Still going to classes for photography and next week I’m getting a light and softbox delivered. Hopefully I will produce some fancy pics after that. On Friday I’m taking off to San Francisco over the weekend for another wedding. Will see some friends too so I’m excited. Other than that I will try to stay off refined sugars and get through some Hyrox training!

Sounds like it was a good week. Congratulations on doing so well on the events.
We all fall off of diets now and again. It’s good that you recognize it right away.
Loved the pictures from the photo shoots. And that Jamaican bikini looked amazing!
Hopefully Hunter will adjust to the stroller and going outside. Got to try things once anyway!
Have a great upcoming week.

Greetings to you and Hunter –

So it’s been a little more than two months since I had eye surgery (had a tumor at the back of my left eye; they sewed a radioactive patch onto the eye, where it remained for a week). Successful (so. far) – the tumor is gone and my left vision is improving.

I was cleaning my house today and ran across an old, yellowed obituary for Charles Bukowski. I didn’t know him well, but spent time hanging around with him and other L.A. artistic folks back in the ’70s and ’80s. Timing, as they say, is everything.

Have you ever read Bukowski? Hard, hard stuff, but he told the truth about life, which few people like to do.

Below is one of my favorite Bukowski poems, entitled “The Secret”:

don’t worry, nobody has the
beautiful lady, not really, and
nobody has the strange and
hidden power, nobody is
exceptional or wonderful or
magic, they only seem to be
it’s all a trick, an in, a con,
don’t buy it, don’t believe it.
the world is packed with
billions of people whose lives
and deaths are useless and
when one of these jumps up
and the light of history shines
upon them, forget it, it’s not
what it seems, it’s just
another act to fool the fools
again.

there are no strong men, there
are no beautiful women,
at least, you can die knowing
this
and you will have
the only possible
victory.

If, for some reason, you want to call me when you’re in SF, feel free:

Best to you and Hunter.

I’m so happy to hear that your eye surgery was a success! Sounds pretty hi tech to have a radioactive patch on the eye, but it seems to have done the trick 🙂

You seem to have had, and probably still have, the most interesting people around you! Yes, I’ve read Charles Bukowski. Read the Ham on Rye and Post Office. I liked the books and I liked the poem you sent, thank you 🙂

I wish I would’ve had the time to have a coffee with you in SF. But it was a short trip with a packed schedule 🙁 I also checked out Marin County. Considering moving somewhere and Marin was beautiful. I want to live closer to nature and hiking 🙂

All the best to you and keep recovering! Unless you’re already all healed up, then just keep rocking it 🙂

Hugs, Puma
