New activity to try

My boyfriend kyle wants to take me rock climbing. He suggested we take a course and then go on a climbing adventure. I don't know how I feel about that. It would be something fun to give a try but, i don't knoooooooooooooowwwww! I don't know if I would feel comfortable. It feels like a high intensity sport, and that stuff freaks me out. On a different note, I would absolutely love to go back to the kootenays, and go tubing down the river. I did it last year and it was my all time favorite highlight of the summer. You need to come prepared. Slap some sunscreen on, pack some refreshments ( wink wink) :) brink a waterproof camera, an umbrella, and a huge awesome hightech tube!!:D To anyone that has never tried before, it is an absolute blast. The scenery is great, and it is just food for the soul.

goal achievement

My personal goal for P.E class is to lose an inch and a half off my lower abs. I think this a realistic goal but it will equire 100% commitment and determination. Seeing as I have recently began workoing out regularly, i now need to regulate my eating habits. TO be a little more specific when it comes to me working out again, my plan is to:

-Participate to my full potential in P.E class ( big emphasis on the walk up the dreaded 10th street hill)
-Knowing that our vancouver weather is very unreliable, I will include an alternating routine over 2 days. Day 1: jog for 45 min
Day 2: Use the gym and do cardio + weight training for 90 min

NOW, the difficult part is watching my food intake and sticking to my nutritional plan. Referring back to my "Food Matters" post, i have decided that all my meals will consist of a minimum of 51% raw food. Also, I came to the conclusion that I do not hydrate myself enough. Here is a more comprehendable list of nutritional tachtics:
- A MINIMUM of  2L of water / day ( 8 glasses)
- A MINIMUM of 5 fruits / day
- A MINIMUM of 3 vegetables /day
NO JUNK FOOD!!!! ok maybe on sundays..BUT OTHERWISE BETTER NOT CATCH MYSELF WITH A FRIED POTATO IN MY HAND*)W&*$Y^U*#QW^YUT%R$R#@@!@!!
As far as all other foods, If i don't feel guilt eating it then I can certainly eat it.

 This is what I had set as my personal goal at the beginning of the term. I definitely trimmed  a little bit off my lower section and toned my abdominal muscles. I feel much more confident as it is summer time and it is bikini season. I didn't get to use the gym as often as I planned to, but that was circumstantial. I didn't spend a lot of time at my parents' house where the gym is, and could not commit to paying for a gym membership. However, I improved my jogging skills and even learned to love it.

I also did a major improvement to my diet. I don't think I have ever drank this much water in my lifetime. I made a constant effort of always having a bottle or cup all throughout the day. Maintaining a minimum of 51% raw food in every meal was surprisingly easy. I think it's because it is summer time and fruits and vegetables are available in abundance. I feel healthy and think I look healthy as well. The junk food was inevitable, but, I keopt it to a bare minimum. I stopped cooking a lot as I found whenever I cook, i would make things such as pizza,pastas and other rather heavy foods.

Although my personal goal did not include our in-class training, I know for a fact that I improved as all the final scores were also my best ones so far. Overall I am very happy with my progress, and just because P.E class is over, it doesn't mean my self-improvement and work has to stop.

activity log week 8

Last week on my jog, I went down to  the quay and ran from the giant tin man to the bridge. By the fountain, I came across a friendly car who insisted I stopped and give him some attention. I couldn't resist the temptation, I pet the car out of him:) my jog lasted about 35 minutes. After the bridge, I ended up by the car dealership on marine. U then ran uphill until 10th and home from there. Another memorable run!

MMA class #2

Today, in MMA class, we learned new skills. All mostly for self defense. I enjoyed the class from Start to end. However, I was a little bit uneasy at the end when we had to pair up and wrestle in front of the entire class. This doesn't mean that I don't want to attend another lesson, just hope there is no show at the end! I also inquired about the one week free trial that Goldie offers in his gym. Once things are a little quieter in my life, I will definitely take up on that offer!

PHysical activity log Week 7

  This week I went jogging! I go jogging 3-4 times a week but I don't always mention it. This one was particularly nice as I discovered something new. I used to despise the act of jogging, doing it only for the physical benefits. What made this jog different is that I started appreciating the visual aspect of this activity. I used to run same route every time boring myself quickly, and therefore making the run difficult to complete. This time, I ran where the wind blew. It was much more exciting as I was discovering new areas and learning the new west suburbs. It was actually really cool as I found a couple of very groovy looking houses. Some of them being very old dating back to the 1800's. Needless to say, I am never stickiong to one single path .
