Brian is not only a social psychologist but now he gets the title of “psychometrician” (I told him they got the psycho part right). While that is his official title he pretty much gets to do what he wants to do and he has a big office where he can keep some of our books. So, now Brian has three jobs and I am doing one job where I get paid and two other jobs for non-profits where I don’t get paid and then I am going back to school in the Fall and I may even have an opportunity to pick up a part-time fellowship (unpaid) from one of the organizations I am working with currently. We shall see… We are busy bees!

We tried the Yves “fauxturkey” and here are the results: Brian made himself a sandwich with the fauxturkey on it and he said it tasted like turkey. He told me to try a bite and I reluctantly bit off a small piece which I promptly regurgitated into Brian’s mouth (he said he wanted it back!) and he happily went on eating his fauxturkey sandwich. I still think it is just as nasty as when I bought the stuff for Jason but Brian seems to like it. Yuck. Brian says I should eat it because it is high in protein but that is NOT happening. I am up to 300 grams of protein per day, fun for me.

This story is unbelievable and reaffirms exactly why I want to help women and children in other countries that are oppressed and mistreated by the patriarchy. Click here to read the story about this young woman that was beaten, mistreated, nearly killed, starved, and married off at 4 years old. Most likely, this young woman is unable to read, was never educated, and definitely is not an idiot…

We got back from the farmer’s market earlier today where we got a week’s worth of food for under $15 and I purchased a beautiful orchid, a cross of Lc. Trick or Treat ‘S&W’ and Lc. Gold Digger ‘Orglade’s Mandarin’ and I like it a lot. Brian just calls it “that orange flower” and ignores it. He says he likes plastic plants better. Too bad! I did acquire some new plants this week (nothing special) - hibiscus, anthurium, and some other random things. It helps to clean the air (this is the excuse I am using) but we do live in the city with some of the cleanest air in the world as Brian reminds me. But, I simply enjoy horticulture…
After the farmer’s market Brian fed me my second meal, 5 giant pancakes and a huge protein shake. We eat a lot around here. Brian has decided that being a powerlifting vegetarian food snob is very expensive. He is always teasing me and tells me I should get a hamburger because it has a lot of protein. Of course, he would not eat a hamburger anyway but he does think he is amusing and I do like to humor him. 
I also ordered some new multi-vitamins for Brian and some antioxidants for me (because of the powerlifting) so I think we are good for a while… Powerlifting is going well… My quads are killing me from last night’s workout and especially because we walked down to the farmer’s market and back (it is all uphill on the way back). Nothing terribly exciting going on, just beautiful Hawai’i weather and another perfect day in paradise…
Oh yeah, last night, we went to this natural food store (which I don’t like) and we bought Yves fake turkey. Brian said he would eat some - I think it looks nasty.

Brian has been training me yet again for Powerlifting and Strongwoman competitions since we moved to Hilo. It has been great and I have made a lot of progress. Hopefully, I will be ready for aPowerlifting meet or a Strongwoman competition by this summer… I am putting on a lot of muscle mass, yay! Who said putting on muscle mass for women is hard? I need protein powder, we ordered 11 lbs. of it and I just ran out of my other protein powder today…
I need to start keeping my food diary again but I eat about eight times per day and it makes it too difficult to record everything. I also eat a lot of food. Oh well, I will try to keep the food diary up…
It has been raining here off and on but that is to be expected in the rainiest city in the world. Plus, March is supposed to be one of the wettest months here in Hilo. We did drive over to the Kona side on Saturday to go to Costco - we are SO glad we do not live there - people are incredibly rude and mean on that side of the island. It also takes us two hours to drive over there and then another two hours back but it does mean that we only have to go shopping for groceries once a month, yay.
More later, when I am not so busy…
