Work work work

I have been too busy to keep proper lists of my eating and exercising habits. Since I last wrote, Paul and I have been devoting all of our time to completely re-doing our bathroom. So I have certainly gotten lots of exercise! I haven't always been eating well, since I have often been too exhausted to make dinner and we just order food or grab something at taco bell. Yikes.
We are getting closer to the end of our project. When that happens, I will try to keep better track of my health. Poor Athena (our dog)! She is used to going on walks almost every day, but for the last week she hasn't had a single walk due to our exhaustion! We need to get back on track for her sake as well as our own sanity. I would like a clean home again, after all!

*Whew* Back from camping!

I haven't been posting anything because I have been off camping and visiting my people in Michigan. Thus, I will just generalize a recap of the last few weeks:

While camping (approx. July 27-August 8), I ate mainly good food: veggies, crackers, few snacks, and approx. 4 liters of water a day(!!!). However, since it WAS camping, I did have some "bad" food as well: red meat (hamburgers one day, brats another, steak another, steak nachos another), smores (four total), and three times to the ice cream store. Yikes. I couldn't help the meat part, since I didn't want to insult my mother-in-law's food ideas too many times in a row. And you know what? I am okay with the four smores and three ice cream cones. You know why? Those are the only smores I had this entire year and I haven't had ice cream since May. And it's camping! Psh, this isn't making my conscience calm down. :)

Anyway, for exercise: Volleyball everyday! Lots of rounds of it, too. I also went swimming everyday and sailing six times as well as countless walks (at the very least, the long hike from the beach to the camping site everyday). So I still feel pretty good. I also went jogging on the beach once, which was exhausting, but it made me feel healthier.
