I need to do better about the eating. But most importantly, SNACKING! I find I snack when I'm bored, and I've been pretty bored lately with the whole not having a job thing.
I always seem to find a way to keep some sort of sweet thing in the house (mainly chocolate). Then I feel bad about eating it. But its so delicious!!

I thought about giving up chocolate for lent... Yup. I thought about it alright. Sure did think about it real hard. mmm.... chooooooocolate!

I only did yoga twice this week. But I did get in a bunch of the things on my gym challenge sheet. I am now up to 18 items. Which is up from maybe 8 or so items completed the week before.

The rest of the things on the list are going to be pretty challenging, so I have my work cut out for me. My goal is to get another 18 items completed so I can get my free t-shirt from the rock gym.

Oh, btw. I applied for a job at the rock gym. The one in Berkeley contacted me back and want to interview me. It's for a belay staff position. I'm hoping if I get the job that belaying won't flare up my pain.

If I do okay and am able to get and keep the job, I'll be at the rock gym several days a week. Which, hopefully means I'll get some more exercise in here and there. When I worked at a fitness facility before, I got in more exercise than I probably normally would had. Also, I got really motivated to get in good shape. I think I got down to like 110 pounds back then with like 8% body fat, or something ridiculous. I don't think I'll ever be that again, but being around healthy people all the time is motivating. It would be so convenient to just go work out after work (or before).

If the job can give me 32 hours a week I'll be eligible for benefits after 90 days. I don't expect they will give me that many hours though initially. Which is a mixed blessing. Oh well.

The pay isn't fantastic, but its better than working at the local coffee shop, is more laid back I would imagine, (which is a main reason I want to work there), and I would get a free gym membership (saving me nearly $70 a month I think).

Monday and Tuesday I didn't go to the gym. I had a procedure done on Monday, and still felt crappy all day Tuesday. Today I went to the gym. I took a yoga class, and I did 10 of the items on the challenge list. I now have 18 items done in total on the challenge list. I am at the half way mark towards getting a free t-shit. It better be a cool shirt!

I went to yoga on Friday morning. It was pretty cool. The class was with an instructor I hadn't gone to yet. She did all sorts of stuff that my muscles weren't used to. My feet, ankles, and calves worked triple time in her class. I think I'd like to try it again.

So last week I think I went to yoga 3 times and did atleast a little climbing 3 times.

I don't think I have been doing incredibly well with the eating. In my defense, I think I'm PMSing with the sugar cravings. If I could kick that sugar habit of mine I would be on track!

Today I went and did yoga. The yoga teacher said that she has seen a lot of improvement in me recently. That she has noticed some muscle memory in my practice. :D
I also did some climbing today (top roping). It was not as fantastic as the time before, but I did make it up a 5.9 and 5.10 without falling at all. So, that is good. I ate ok today. Oatmeal, a quesidilla, and for dinner some left over chicken. I had a snack of some pretzels, a few tablespoons of chocolate chips, and a few tablespoons of some cornnut type things. I also had some homemade fruit yogurt smoothie, and some frozen strawberries. I could had done without the snack things.

I cannot live with this weather. I think it is the direct cause of my flub. When it’s warm and I can go outside and have fun and wear very little inside the house, I feel great and I don’t need to eat crap all the time. When it’s cold and overcast and dreary I just wanna sit around and eat. FUCK! I hate it! And it’s been beautiful for two days and now it’s going to go back to shit weather and I just can’t stand it anymore.

Anyways, I missed the past couple days but here’s a time to start anew
Food: Two super healthy veggie burritos that I made myself. Tortillas prob the most unhealthy part.
Some candy. After I checked the weather report. Because it depressed me. Fuck!

Exercise: Nice long walk with my dogs, not very strenuous but still nice. Hooped for nearly an hour- it’s hot so hooped in a bikini which was motivating. No wonder I gained weight in the winter, I can’t even see what I look like under the winter clothes so I don’t give a shit!
I might surf later, will at least take another long walk, soaking up the sun in preparation for the shitty future week which will suck ass. Maybe that storm won’t come. Sigh.

So I. AM. SUNBURNED. Like, painfully so.
It sucks
But I’m doing well on my fitness goals ;)
Today: food
Smoothie (really healthy)
Burritos (really healthy)
Veggie buffet (pretty healthy)
2 pieces of candy (not so healthy)
Some citrus fruit (really healthy)

Exercise:
Surfing three hours. Hence the atrocious sunburn.

Today I went to yoga and did a few bouldering problems at the rock gym. I didn't eat horribly either. Yay!

Nice job on the hooping! I did actually buy a hula hoop maybe 6 months back or so. However, it is really crappy so I need to get a better, weighted one like you had mentioned I do. You seem to be pretty good at that. How long did it take you to get down the fancy-ness of it? If I am able to move in more than just my hips, it may be something I might actually be able to do. The boyfriend and I recent cleaned out the garage. So, I should have room to do hooping in there if I want to (once the salvation army comes to pick up the extra stuff).

Today, I stress ate the whole day. I have a math exam tomorrow and spent today trying to finish my homework etc. For breakfast I had 2 home made scones and a homemade fruit smoothie. Lunch I had chocolate covered cherries. Dinner I had 3 slices of pizza and icecream with berries. UGH!!! Gotta get back on track.
