learn to kayak
So I bought a kayak... 2 years ago

An inflatable one, but a good inflatable one. Now I just need to buy a pump to pump it up with, a paddle to propel it with, and a lifejacket to save my ass with. Then I can get out there and do me some kayaking…

Awesome 2 years ago

I had such a great time pulling up all the ivy in Stanley Park. I thought it would be a good thing to do but I never realised I would enjoy it quite so much. I felt really happy and energised afterwards (though I ached for the 2 days after – muscles not used to the exercise).

Can’t wait till next month!



Lose 40 lbs (read all 2 entries…)
I've found my willpower! 2 years ago

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been really focussed on helping myself lose weight.

1) I bought myself some scales last week and weighed about what I thought I did, hammering home the fact that yes, I do need to lose 40lbs. I weighed myself Saturday morning and have been disciplined enough not to weigh myself again all week, so Saturday will be weigh-day from now on

2) I’m doing really well at only eating when I am hungry and have started to retrain my brain into thinking of food more as fuel rather than pleasure. I’ve also been eating out a lot less because of this.

3) I am getting up early and going for a long walk before work – which makes my 10 minute walk to work an hour walk to work.

4) I am also walking a lot in the evenings after dinner, rather than staying in and watching TV (the Canucks bowing out of the playoffs early has been a bit of a blessing). This has the added bonus of stopping me from drinking alcohol so much during the week.

5) I continue to hike through my heel and joint pain. Last weekend we went for a hike and I had absolutely no energy and was very achey, but about 50 minutes into it I started feeling really good and so we carried on for another 3 hours.
