LOVE LOVE the surfer pics!
You totally rocked! I would so be there too! When I get there I am definitely going surfing!
EXCELLENT!!!!! You will love it, it makes you feel totally empowered.
Side note but related - our local paper sponsors a fit contest every couple months where local folks compete to get healthy and lose weight. One of the recent contestants was getting fit for her 50th birthday, because she was going to Hawaii and going surfing!
I think she lost about 30 pounds before going, and worked a lot on swimming and her stamina as part of her health challenge! (She didn't look as good as you at 50!)
Very cool! The surfing was my big motivator too- I WISH I had lost 30 lbs- that is amazing! I went to the gym a LOT before I went, mostly motivated by the fact that if I couldn't get up on that board, I would be disgusted with myself forever. Well, not disgusted, but disappointed. What was really good about all that was that I could do all the hikes, etc, and no issues. It was key to our successful vacation, and we were really aware of that.
And thanks for the compliments- very sweet! Makes my day!
We will be in CA August 13 to 26- 4 nights in San Fran, 3 nights in Yosemite, 1 travel, 5 nights DL.
When are you out to CA? I may be back in Feb for work...
