CQ - 7/28/10

I agree with you MT. Everything in moderation is probably a good way to go. Way to go on the not munching at night.

I used to have a big problem eating at night. I went for about a year or so doing good with that. Until the past 2 weeks or so I have been doing a bunch of munching at night. Not every night, but definately noticeable. I've started taking this one medication that is supposed to help stabilize the nerves, and I think it must make me more hungry. And it has been known to cause people to gain weight. I am going to have to be extra careful. I've fluctuated between 5 pounds the past couple weeks. One day will be drastically different than the next. Don't know what the heck is going on.

I went rock climbing last weekend. I am afraid that it triggered a flare up of my pain. I will try it again and see what happens... I'll be crushed if I have to give it up. Perhaps if I have to give it up I will take up surfing! hehehe. I know you'll love that one MT. I've been meaning to take an instructional class.

This weekend I need to get in some sort of exercise. I am thinking yoga.

I have been doing good with my goal of exercising once a week.

As for eating this week I haven't been doing so well. It's not that I am eating the wrong things per say. I am just not planning meals.. so I will do something like eat a loaf of bread over 2 days instead of cooking. Not good. I have groceries. I just haven't felt like cooking.

I am starting to have a lot better days, still some flare ups of pain, but a lot more better days. And my mood for the most part is better. I am starting to get out more and do active things, and I am liking it.

I've noticed that I've REALLY gotten out of shape. Flabby-like. Ewe. I don't like it. I kind of feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I've been in so much pain and been basically sedentary for most of this year. I see now how my prior active lifestyle kept me in much better shape.

Hmmmm..... Walking is a safe activity for me to do. If there hadn't been so many crimes on the paths out here in Livermore I'd be inclined to do some walking around here.

I am supposed to go on a hike with Kyrsten some time next week.

I've been watching 'So you think you can dance' on TV and its so motivating seeing such athletic people.

I go to my physical therapist tomorrow. I am going to ask if if hula-hooping is an acceptable activity for me to do.

The boyfriend told me that my waist is starting to look a little thinner. I tried grabbing it a few days ago and have to agree that there is less to grab. Yay!

I will put up a photo of me in my 'I'm Skinny' jeans and use that as my motivator.
