"Wait, isn't it June?"
Yep. Yep it is. Still raining. I love Portland, I love the Pacific Northwest, and I love rain for 8 months out of the year. But for pete's sake, this is supposed to be one of the beautiful four!
Despite the drizzle, I went kayaking today! I have been twice before and LOVED it, and it was so much fun to go with a good friend who knew what they were doing! I learned a lot, I saw 3 bald eagles and 4 hawks, 2 blues herons, and a partridge in a pear tree....okay, not the partridge:)
I also biked 11 miles! It's been a busy day:)
I weighed myself today and found that I am at 183lbs! Sweet! I'll take it! (isn't it funny how different we weigh at different times of the day? Like, If I weighed myself right now I would be about 185lbs, due to the amount of cookies, fruit, and sangria in my belly...yum)
So in an effort to take another look at my health/diet/nutrition, I am reading "Why French Women don't get Fat." I read a little of it about 2 years ago, but I remember giving up early in the book, when she suggests a weekend of drinking leek broth....not really my thing. And I still don't think that's my style. But she is presenting some good ideas in a palatable way, so we will see what happens. I'll keep you updated on the reading, my weight, and this wonderful journey we call life!
(Also, I'm thinking there should be a book out there called "Why Irish-American Women don't get why Beer isn't a Food:)
LOL! Believe it or not, in Ireland I've heard that Guinness really is like a dinner, because it's so filling. Grosses me out though. Please let us know how the book is, I've heard lots about it. I'm thinking of doing the Master Cleanse, so the leek thing might be interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'd totally buy the Irish-American book for sure!!
ReplyDeleteNice work!! I love Kayaking, it's one of my fave sports, but I do it in a cheap rented one on the lake!!
