Quickie

I bet that got your attention!

Back from camping. Got a little, ok, a *lot* soaked but had a great time (except for getting moss under my thumbnail, which I had to scrape out, including a nice chunk of nailbed - ouch!!!). Did some river body surfing/swimming (only hit a few rocks here and there - ouch!) and horizontal treacherous/slippery rock climbing, so I count that as definite activity. Other than a quick 10-minute bike ride, which was almost all downhill, and walking to/from other campsites & the bathroom/general store, didn't do any extended cardio activity. But I got a lot of fresh air, some yummy-but-not-too-healthy camp food (hot dog, cheeseburger, s'mores; we did have some salmon yesterday morning to go with the bacon), and some awesome downtime/family bonding.

So eating wasn't great but I'm not feeling guilty for a change - I enjoyed myself and now it's back to lots of veggies and fruit and beans, oh my. Activity-wise, the son has to be at camp bus by 7:30 so will need to consider getting up for at least 20 minutes (yes, 20 minutes! It's ok, xena! It counts!) at the track and/or 20+ minutes of yoga dvd. You're probably getting tired of hearing this, but apparently I am not - something is better than nothing.

Thanks for the comments on my last post. I don't know when I will actually pencil in sleep time (maybe during work, hahaha!) this fall. I guess I can sleep when I am dead. Seriously, though, I know that proper rest is vital to staying healthy and rebuilding energy/muscles, so I will be keeping a close eye on that too. Thanks for the reminder, Lynne! And Amazon Alanna - I have definitely done a lot of blogging about the exercise that I was going to do, but didn't, so hang in there! Thanks Ms. Belden - I am taking a nice deeep breath (*aaah*) and thankfully reminding myself to be proud of what I am accomplishing - thank you.

One thing I definitely noticed was the difference in energy from eating like I did this weekend vs. "clean" eating...I was sluggish and tired fairly early (I'm sure the imbibing didn't help that at all!)...
