Week 1

I started the weightloss fight (again) last week and here are my results and observations. I've lost 3lbs since my first weigh in. I weight myself everyday and my highest weight loss was 6lbs. On those days, I at sensible... a lot of protein with veggies and fruit. The weekend was a different story. I didn't try to stuff everything in my mouth, like I normally do but I did eat until I felt I was full. On a scale of 1-10 for eating speed, I used to go at a pace of 8.5. Over the weekend it was about a 6.7.. I also stopped the HIIT because I took the day off on Wednesday (OB appt) and surfed in the afternoon. Early morning workouts take a lot out of me.

I realize I'm missing some stuff.. leave a message and I'll clear it up.

I haven't done HIIT since last Wednesday but plan to start again tomorrow... we went to a concert last night so I'm a little tired.. and there's a mountain of clothes to fold.

When I first started the program, I tried out the pull up bar that attaches to the door frame. I didn't use it because the screws left marks on the walls and the support thingies made indents. See here for fix and what the hell I'm talking about: http://www.weightloss-hq.biz/fitness-equipment/p90x-pull-up-bar.html. I started out using bands but after I found the fix, I used the pullup bar and really felt the pain and soreness.

And, this is probably the reason why I sucked it up during my Saturday sesh. I swear I couldn't catch a wave. The shape and power wasn't there but I should have caught more than I did. I stayed out for a little more than 2 hours to fill my "3 waves makes a sesh" quota. I was on my tanker, too!! And, just to make things worse, one of the older guys there (who was humping his board to catch waves) kept telling me how to surf as if I was a beginner. Argh! I hate it when people tell me that. Hopefully, my paddling strength will come back this weekend so I can redeem myself.

One good thing out of the sesh was meeting Patch. Man that guy can surf!

One of my friends, FKA Scarecrow, really wants to do the Doo Dah thing. I'm over it. Too many people and a good chance of dinging my board. She's trying to convince me so I might do it. I have a few coworkers too so her costume idea would be sweet if we all did it. Side note, I support charities so don't give me a hard time for not doing it.

I also recently purchased a buckwheat hull pillow. That thing is the shit! I swear I wake up like I've had a great nights sleep. We also have a foam bed so this pillow makes it even better.

And, I think I found my next board. I've been doing some research on Hull boards and think this would work for my ability. Really interesting board. I really need to get rid of the CIS board. Hit me up if you're interested. It's a Flyer F, I think. I'll have to look up the dims.

Later!
