I did yoga yesterday. Think I irritated some of the muscles that tend to keep me in pain, but I was able to get back home and rest. Today doesn't feel so bad. I attempted to do some climbing yesterday, but was just too exhausted. I made my way up a 'rock' by scrambling on whatever handholds I could find, then just watched Eric climb. I was wiped out yesterday. I think I have been losing iron because of mother natures visit.
Anyhow, I plan to atleast do some stretching today in my yoga room. It will probably be the first time I will actually do some yoga in there since it has become the official yoga room.
I am in the process of applying for disability. My doctor said he will get it signed for me. Keep your fingers crossed it all works out.

2/11/11 Cindalu
I went swimming again Wednesday night. I did ok. Swimming pretty much non-stop at a leisurely pace for 30 mins or so, maybe 40.
Mother nature has decided to visit, so I don't see a whole lot of activity in my future over the next few days. Hopefully I will be back to yoga on Monday.
I have lost some weight though. Lost maybe 3 pounds or so. :D Been trying to eat better, other than the chocolate I seem to sneak in there.
Today I am going to see if I can get some more info on 'cf surf camp.'

I went swimming today for an hour. Decided to try some walking on the bottom of the pool in the last five minutes or so and irritated my nerve right away. Won't do that again!
Still think I want to give the surfing a try.
I am proud of myself for going to the gym today. I had a horrible day at work and would had been happy to sulk there for the remainder of the evening.

2/5/11 Update - C
Haven't been doing as much lately with the yoga. My work schedule hasn't allowed me to get there in time for that. I might be able to catch the BART to the Oakland gym if they have a class at a time that I can take it. I heard a rumor of a free shuttle bus as well from the station. Not so sure I want to be in downtown oakland at night though. We shall see. I am also considering waking up earlier to go swimming at the location in concord.
Eric took a short video today of me in my bikini. My back isn't as bad as I had thought. However, my stomach is not such a pretty sight.
I am frustrated because I used to be SUCH an active person, and I feel as though this pain; this misery I am dealing with has won. I weigh about the same, but everything has turned to mush and my climbing is way less strong.
I did go climbing today with the boyfriend. I did some very tall walls. 3 roped routes. And three or so bouldering routes, which I basically kicked ass on.
I put the bikini out today. I am leaving it on a hanger in the open as motivation.
A lady at work told me she sometimes does this diet with her husband where for 5 days during the week she doesn't eat sugar. She does this for a month or so at a time. Apparently she kept off 12 pounds. I am considering trying it.

Okay, food today:
breakfast- protein drink, and a really healthy stir fry kinda thing- rice, black beans, onions, garlic, peppers, corn and sugar snap peas. A little tuna too.
lunch- semi healthy pasta that I made myself- whole wheat spaghetti noodles, and a white sauce with this powdered white soup as a base, a little butter, and the same veggies as were in my breakfast
(I chop enough veggies for the whole week at the beginning if the week and I cook a pot of beans and rice at the beginning of the week. This makes it easier to eat healthy food because a lot of the prep is already done so it's easier than getting junk food. Also I don't have junk food in the house!)
An orange and some almonds. Crap I just realized why I'm so hungry, I didn't eat dinner =(
My evil students brought me two small pieces of chocolate and a cookie. so I ate em all up ;) fantastic!
and I bought this seaweed- oh my gosh, it is SO GOOD, it's like potato chips, yum. I think I'll have some more before I get home, and then no more eating!
exercise- not much, a 30 min walk with my dogs and maybe 20 min of hooping. Not good enough, maybe I will work out for a bit tonight- 30 min, watch a seinfield and hoop a bit? yeah, that sounds good. but then I'll get to bed a little too late sigh...
Okay, hope you're doin well CQ!

Oh man. I'm not gonna lie. I guess I just started thinking I was invincible or something. I mean I lost like 2 inches all around between July and October so I thought I could start pigging out. And boy did I ever. And since winter has come- I'm not working out much at all. Soooooooo....
Back to the website!!!!!!
Okay, I've been on a crazy eating spree, just eating like every free moment of the day. I was actually okay today- not too bad anyways.
I ate two tuna breakfast sandwiches.
an apple
some strawberries
some other fruit available here that I don't know the English name for.
A lunchbox with rice, some weird tofu creations and shrimp rolls. I didn't eat all of that.
A twix and a small bag of marshmellows =0
Anyways, I stopped eating at around 6pm. I won't eat again tonight.
For exercise today, I probably only walked for like 45 min. That's it. sigh. and all the stairclimbing I usually do to get to my apartment and the trainstation. so yeah, not much exercise today.
Anyways, I just measured myself and I've gained back all my inches.
stomach (biggest part about an inch or so below belly button): 32 =(
waist (thinnest part): 28!
legs 21 inches each
butt (biggest part): 37
Yikes!
Will post pics tomorrow. My stomach is really hangin out there! But oh bikini weather, you are only a few months away (it gets pretty warm here in March) no more covering up in sweaters, I need to lose several inches before then! How bout this- my goal is to lose 3 inches all around by May. So Feb- 1 inch, march, 1inch, april 1inch. Is that reasonable? I think so.
To do this I will stop eating at 7 pm, eat protein every morning, and eat regular meals. My diet is pretty healthy, I think the problem is that I am NOT eating in moderation and eating too much bread.
Here's to us! WE're gonna get hot!

1/22/11 - Cindalu
I have been doing pretty well! Since rejoining the gym, I have been going! For the most part, it has been yoga for me. Other things are questionable. I have tried climbing. I think it is OK, but still irritates the nerve. I try and take it easy with that. I don't rope climb much lately. I think that may have been part of what exasperbated some of this.
I have been doing a lot of yoga. I usually feel alight with that but sometimes not so well. Yesterday I think I must have done something that the nerve didn't like. I've been doing some bouldering and am getting stronger again. I've moved up a 'grade' and my calluses on my hands are coming back. Anyhow, I have been going to the gym twice a week for a few months now. Sometimes, I go three times week. My boyfriend thinks my stomach is getting a little better. Yay! I still have a ways to go. Progess is good though.
I have been eating much better since my last post. Other than the chocolate I had over this past week or so. And perhaps, I could go without the cookies I buy when I get my sandwiches at the deli.
I now live with the boyfriend and we have some fruit trees in the back yard. There are several that were added last weekend: Nectarine, pear, lime, pomagranite. We are also working on growing some more food in the garden. Last summer there were lots of tomatoes, peppers and some squash. This year there will be tomatoes, but I am hoping we can get some other stuff in there too. Some spinach or butter lettuce would be good. Maybe some radishes, onions, carrots, greenbeans, corn, sunflowers (for the seeds).
I have been cooking again since we have been living together. He does more cooking than me because I am exhausted during the week from work and commuting. Anyhow, its healthier.
I have maintained my weight. Kept about 10 pounds off since just after the surgery when I went completely sedentary.
It's really terrible what injury can do to a person, or anything that makes them immobile. I didn't gain a whole lot, but my body composition changed. I've looked at photos of me from before the surgery and my face was a lot thinner. I hate to look back and think about 'what could I had done differently.' But that is always something I do and worry about even though I can't go back and change the past.
Anyhow, the boyfriend and I may go for a hike tomorrow. That might be fun. Atleast, good exercise.
