stupid ass thing won't let me copy and paste.
Anyways, here are my goals:
-yoga am and pm
-surf, hoop or slackline at least 1 hour per day
-stand on bongo board or sit on exercise ball while writing, no sitting on ass
-If I don't surf, an hour long walk with the dogs
-no eating after 1030 pm
-If I'm watching something on my computer or projector, work out while I'm watching it. If I'm too tired to work out, I'll just go to bed!
-post measurements and pictures on this site once a week, and adjust goals according to progress.
-write on this site every day! I can miss one day of writing on this site (or exercising) but the rule is, never two days in a row~
I'm also going to try to get my diet more under control. More fruits and veggies. It's hard because I live in Asia- which means no health food section, I cannot read the labels, and a lot of my favorite familiar foods are not available. But I'm going to try to get to Costco this weekend and choose some healthy items that are familiar.

So I'm posting this for yesterday and may not remember everything.
Food: I can't remember exactly what I ate all day, just remember I was doing really good until...dun dun duhn dun...midnight- at which time I ate massive quantities of carbs. Now I try to stick to whole grains (which is nearly impossible in Asia) but the fact of the matter is, I didn't need to eat just then, I should have just gone to bed, then I would have gotten up early enough to work out in the am! silly silly.
Exercise: I did go for an hour long walk, and surfed for 45 min (it's been low tide in the morning and my spot doesn't work at low tide, pluse the waves have been tiny so it's tough to motivate myself to get out there.)
So here's the plan- no food after 1030 pm. I get off work at 9, get home at 930, walk my dogs till 940, then I'm hoping to do yoga from 940 till 10. Then a healhty snack and off to bed, or, if I stay up, I'll work out while watching a documentary about chairman mao (or the daily show, or snl reruns, or southpark) instead of eating while I watch them! Also I need to do yoga every am. My neck is a mess.

CQs Update - 5/11/10
Nothing good to report. I am back to the same weight I was before and my tummy is not the size I would like it to be. Been eating junk. And more junk. I think I am going to go eat some more junk.
I am considering doing a juice fast for a few days to try and get my eating habits back on track.
I am utterly exhausted. Been spending a lot of time running to and from doctors (today is no different). Also, Lynnette came from out of town so I had to try and keep her entertained/appeased for several days. I don't feel well and I am just draineeeeeeeeed.
I am going to try and get a nap in. My sleep has been poor and not enough lately and my social schedule has been overbearing.
I tried on some clothes I hadn't worn in awhile. That was a painful experience. I think I may pick an article of clothing and make it my goal to look good in it. Something with a little more definition that a bikini. But ultimately, I want to look good in a bikini too.
Hope I have better stuff to report next time.

5/3/10 - CQ's Update
You and I have got to do better about this.
I started eating by the IC diet and lost some weight. Then, I went off it and starting taking this medication again that had helped cause me to gain all this weight to begin with. The meds are for nerve pain. My regular physican says I have neuritis, not IC. My pain is significantly less. But so is my weight loss. Sunday I weighed 145. Today, I weigh 149.6. WTF!
I am going to start going to the Standford Pain Management Clinic as of Friday. We shall see what they are able to do for me.
Seeming that I am likely stuck taking these medications that slow down my metabolism, I am going to have to attack my calorie intake. It will be hard, since not only does this medication slow down my metabolism, but it makes me want to eat everything in sight. Maybe I should pick up smoking again? lol.. Too late. I fell off the wagon last week after nearly 5 months. I've been sneaking them every now and again. Don't tell my lover.. lol. He's not supposed to know. I'll stop. I promise.
Okay, so here is what I can commit to. I will start planning out my meals better. Today, I will put together some meal options, and during the week days, I will stick with that. I'll probably not follow it on the weekends, but I will be sensible. My bf and I cook together on the weekends, and we are both trying to be healthy, so I don't think it should be a big deal.
My goal is to eat as much unprocessed foods as possible. I really believe that a lot of the weight loss I had initially had to do with that. It just makes sense to me that the body can't breakdown highly processed foods efficiently. So, I am going to try and get back to basics.
I don't want to turn into a blimp. :(
