4teen.)

June 24th, 2009

weight: 180

calories: 2100 (+500)

achievments: over the past 3 days, i have swam 45 mins on mon and teus. and found i could breath on every other stoke, rather than every stroke.  it feel more streamlined and like a better workout. today i threw caution and housework to the wind and drove 2.5 hours to the lake where i stayed ~4 hours on the beach and visited my favorite little town up there :)  got some info on stand up paddle surfing at the little surf shop.  didn’t spend too much, got some cute flip flops there for 5$.  managed to be in a pretty good mood.  sucked up the courage to go ask the nocturnal neighbors to turn down their radio and keep their voices down and what to my surprize, they obliged.  pretty nice kids, considering what i’ve heard about that family.  but it felt good to finally just ask them nicely rather than calling the cops, who i don’t think were coming out anyway.  consequently, i slept great  that night :) .

areas to improve:  i think i will go out and jog tomorrow am.  at least a mile.  that, or in the afternoon.  also,  this afternoon, i’ll revamp my diet to include plans for more fish, eggs, lentils and beans, raw nuts and avocados and plenty of veggies and fresh herbs.  exclude coffee and pop. and drink more water and tea, along with preboitics and probiotics. Also, research alkalizing diets and work that in.

for tomorrow am and lunch, pearls and acv to kick off the am, and my 2 figs at intervals in the morning. if i’m hungry, i’ve got pecans in my desk drawer, then for lunch, my normal salad.  and fruit of course.  i have lentils for dinner, but i’ll plan dinner and after work snacks tomorrow afternoon.

also, pay the bills, or at least get a start on it.  and pick a few other tasks to do @ the house.

feel:  good, but worried/concerned ~ my hair.  i swear i’d be a different person if i wasn’t worried about it.

inspiration:  try and be the person you’d be if you were beautiful :)

    i have recently taken up swimming as a workout. it seems to have the same calming effect as yoga does! fresh and fun. plus it does wonders for the arms and backside:)!

    agreed! i noticed to that i can make it even more yoga-like by stretching more each stroke and using my core to stabilize. i often find myself thinking “plank” while swimming and it improves my stoke.
