CQ I'm glad you got so much fun exercise! I hope it didn't hurt you much. So hard to be motivated when you're in pain.
Here's my inspirational video (Hope they don't mind me posting it here, if so please comment that you want me to remove it and I will!)
This chick is a kick ass long boarder- I love her surfing style. And this is her son. A lot of women give up after they have children, and let themselves get all blobby. Not her, her kids not even two years old, and she’s already got a better body than I’ve ever had. I’ll never have her long legs but she’s still an inspiration to me that she’s so skinny after having a kid.
(guess you can’t really see her in this vid but there’re lots on youtube. I can’t resist putting up the cute baby one!)
I love this video, and it's also a good reminder- being healthy is about what you can DO--- not just how you look. Someday I hope I can surf with my kids if I have kids!

I missed a couple days writing but I’ve been pretty good through all of them. Friday (9th) I did eat some chocolate after work. Decided Friday night can be my “free night” but I didn’t totally indulge myself or anything, just ate some dark chocolate (also first day of my period. Who can resist?) During the day I think I ate my usual (I need to go shopping or something) and on Friday morning I surfed for three hours because the waves were freaking awesome!
Saturday (9th) I kinda messed up because I didn’t eat all day until 1:30 when I had a bunch of tomatoes and fruit. That’s fine but I think I really need to eat in the morning. Last night I also ate a healthy burrito sorta thing and two granola bars cause I was exhausted and sunburned and too tired to think about food. Also, Saturday I went beach glass hunting on a beach, which required a lot of walking, bending over, climbing up and down the rocks, etc. And I swam with friends and then surfed for an hour or so. Plenty of exercise yesterday.
Today (7-11-10) I’ve been kind of a bum so far, but it’s only 11 am so I figure I can still save the day. I haven’t eatenanything so I need to go get a healthy breakfast together (maybe a smoothie, I feel dehydrated) and we’ll see what else goes on. Friends might come for a surf lesson so I’ll get plenty of exercise swimming around and pushing them into waves.
