Last time I surfed I thought I had to get my muscles back in shape to be able to catch waves, so I pushed hard. The result was 5 days of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) that made me wonder if I’d injured myself. Today I experimented with surfing before work so the session wasn’t as long, and I didn’t paddle excessively just for exercise, so I’ll probably be able to get back in the water within a couple days. I got one great wave and saw the sunrise from the water: breakfast of champions! Today’s a holy day for me which means very little food, and surfing always makes me ravenous, so it’s especially good will power training.

In animal news, we’re feeding a vacationing cat. I think she lives a couple houses down and is wanting some time away from her home so she’s hanging out with us for a bit. She has no collar, but she’s very friendly and keeps trying to come inside, so she definitely is/was someone’s pet. We’re going to put up a “found cat” sign to lure the owner out, but in the meantime it’s nice to have a cute furry purring pet who follows you around but stays out of your way. L and I are both allergic to cats, but she’s just too damn cute! We don't let her inside, and she doesn't force her way in, I don't know what I'd do if it rained.

Well I turned yesterday into a semi eating day since I did some more exercise on the WiiFit when I got home. A large salad with Edemame and some cheese, and a chicken thigh definitely put me over my allotted ~500 calories. I think the hardest part is allowing for flexibility without guilt, while staying on track. But at least I didn't eat some of the cheesecake or chocolate almonds at work! They are still here though, and today's an eating day...

I'm around 220 now, down from 260 4 months ago.

Cats are smart and not particularly fond of water. She'd find some place to hide and then be back at your door for pets when it stopped being wet.
