Thursday All Is Good

For me this blog is a God send. I have to tell you if I thought no one was reading I would let myself not exercise. But I know that I am now accountable to you. So to my readers, I thank you.

Still at the beach so water activities again today. My arms are so sore from swimming, building sand designs (yesterday the fort to protect, today a huge wedding cake, tomorrow a city) and pulling children. We can't compete with the people two umbrellas down but we can create so form of sand building. Theirs are fantastic. One is a VW beetle that has run into a sand ditch, all details even to the license plate. The second design they have completed is a mermaid with seaweed as her hair. The last is a detailed sand castle with ramps to the different levels. Today they have started on a pyramid. I will try to take photos to share with you.

It is funny how I no longer have real desires for unhealthy food. I am so thankful. I found out yesterday that my OBC will be starting a new camp near my home. Yeah!

I think that everyone should try a new fish recipe this week. Try cleaneating.org and look for a recipe that works for your favorite fish. I am inspired by the ocean.

Til tomorrow.....smile at someone you pass on the street. Take a prepared dish to your neighbor or assist a coworker today. Life is good so share the love.

Water Aerobics

These last few days have been filled with water activities. Yesterday I did run 3 miles which I was so excited about. I did note that to run in Florida you need to run earlier than 8:30 am. When I returned I was nauseated. Not sure if this was from a few sips of Gatorade before I left or heat. But tomorrow when I return to my run I will plan to leave earlier.

I have varied my exercises this week because the water in the pool or water park is so warm and inviting. I have thrown my 4 year old great nephew in the water that I honestly do not think I could lift a 5 lb. weight.

Family is so important. We have had the best time. With entertaining both a great niece and nephew I have swam more laps than I realized I could.

To keep up the energy needed to pull them in the oceans, fight the waves, walks down the beach and stairs to the lighthouse; I am thankful that I started OBC. And so glad that I now know how to fuel my body by eating every 2 hours. You can now set an alarm by my eating habits. My hunger bell goes off every 2 hours and just a small amount of food is enough It is so hard to really believe that you eat more to lose weight.

Til tomorrow....rest, sleep well and dream in brilliant colors.
