blue jays

I just found out a fascinating fact about blue jays!

The Blue Jay's coloration is not derived by pigments, but is the result of light refraction due to the internal structure of the feathers; if a Blue Jay feather is crushed, the blue disappears as the structure is destroyed.

Weight lifting first, cardio last

For a while people have been debating whether to first do cardiovascular activities first such as running or do weight lifting first. Finally I think people agree more with weight lifting first. I have read that it takes the body about 15 minutes to warm up, so when doing cardio first, your body only starts burning calories after 15 minutes. When doing weights first you will still get all the benefits of weight lifting (increase calorie burn throughout the rest of the day) and while burning calories while doing cardio the whole time.

I've started this new routine of doing weights first. It is strange for me, i have always had my sweat session first and then i put my last effort into lifting weights. I am feeling more tired at the end of the workout, but I get a better high. I am not sure if it is worth it yet, my whole body feels like a wet noodle after. Let me know what order you do your activities in and your reasons for doing them! any suggestions?

I still do my abs and stretching at the end.

Milan and Sprite

Milan has a new friend now named Sprite. She is a girl who is a year older than him. Milan loves her and tries to talk with her and kiss her and play, but usually Sprite is annoyed with him. Lately she has began to control him and is dominant over him.

Victoria's Secret dress

I ordered this dress from Victoria's Secret:http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=GL-195747&page=1&cgname=OSCLODRSBRA&rfnbr=4618

The dress has a lot of extra material around the bust, but it creates more fullness, so it's alright. I included a picture of the model so you can see that there isn't much difference which is great. Many times I order things that look completely different on the model. I ordered it on Ebay to save money!
