This evening I went to the indoor climbing wall for the first time in years. I was terrible at it, but it was so much fun. My friend I went with was really supportive and we’ve made a plan to go back two more times in the next week. My body feels tired, I think I will sleep well tonight. I’m aiming for an early morning run tomorrow. G’night!

Today:

• walk: 1 hr, 25 mins
• climb: 8 routes
• A good day for diet too!

Well, here’s to a fresh start! 166 pounds today, that is, if my scale is correct… i guess it’s all relative anyway.  26 pounds to lose.  Leah got me up for a walk this morning, bright and early at 7am.  It’s soooo hard to get out of bed, but so nice once I’m outside.  I’ve just started this week, the early morning walks with a friend who lives near me.  It’s easier to get out of bed when I know I have to meet someone.  Walking feels like a good start to my day, even though I don’t have class today.  The world doesn’t stop just because i don’t have scheduled class- I still have work to do and laundry, and perhaps something to cook if i get ambitious– so why not get up early for a walk to make a good start?  We walked along the ocean, and the sky went from dark to pink to light blue.  One hour, 25 minutes.

I don’t have a car so getting groceries takes work.  I find it kind of ironic actually.  Getting groceries means I have to get off my ass.  But I don’t want to get off my ass in order to eat.  No calories out, no calories in.  Actually, I have to get off my ass in order to eat healthy food, otherwise I will find something not so fresh and healthy to eat… and then that becomes no calories out, bad-food-calories in, which then becomes the tire around my abdomen.  Enough rambling.  Tonight I’m going climbing at the indoor wall.  I haven’t been climbing in years.  I’m both nervous and excited… we’ll see!
