Surf's Up

Hello to all who read this. My little post about not eating pizza yesterday worked! I'm down to 175 lbs. (I kind of expected for it to come off fast. I put it on really fast. My lowest has been 170-172 before I started screwing up. this all took about two weeks.) I grilled myself some fish and left the rest of the family's pizza alone.

Today's adventure revolves around me getting a new paddle board. I live right across the street from a lake, and the flat water and relatively nice scenery makes stand up paddle boarding (SUP) (you stand up on what's essentially a big surfboard, and paddle yourself with a kayak paddle), a perfect new exercise for me. I love the water, and the washboard abs some people claim you get after a while won't be too bad either. It didn't take me very long at all to get my balance. I never even got wet. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking about trying it. I'm planning on going out at least once a day, as long as I have time. I was going to take the old man pug out but I don't think he has the balance for it anymore, but for those of you who might try this, dogs usually do very well with it.

Good thing I got out to SUP. There was an event in my neighborhood and it was way to dangerous for me to take my bike out with all the crazy drivers. 

I almost forgot, I finally got all my organic plants in the ground for the summer. I started them from seeds in Febuary, and I've been keeping them in my kitchen, bringing them out on nice days/ bringing them in at night. It took almost all day, because I had to pull a jungle of weeds, turn my soil by hand, and plant: cucumbers, swiss chard, romaine lettuce, pumpkin, squash, eggplant, tomatoes, red bell peppers, and a ton of strawberries. At least the worst is over and all I have to do now is water it.

Well I had a fantastic day, and I hope you all did too.
