Primal With A Side Of FABULOUS page 409

I've been surprised by some of the threads on this site. People seem to get their cavemen panties in quite a primal bundle over some pretty small details.

Isn't everything just a bit easier to swallow if you have a sense of humor? Your journal is the best example. We are all just flailing/grokking/chugging along trying to figure it all out.

I wanted to comment yesterday that separating exercise from weight loss has been the same struggle as separating food from emotional fulfillment. For me, food used to equal comfort/love/everything I wanted but didn't have. After much time and work, I can say I do eat more for nutrition and fuel than the black hole of unmet needs. Exercise has also become a means of feeling alive than a vehicle to losing fat. When I walk, kayak, do yoga, I feel amazing. I have up any and all activity that didn't make me feel good. So while I'm happy for my running friends, I am not going to start running again.

Approaching exercise from a grateful stance, that's a fantastic paradigm shift.

you kayak a lot?

[avocadogirl]

Yes, I kayak at least once a week. Mostly on the Potomac or sometimes local lakes. My oldest boy comes with me. I used to do a lot of white water when I lived in TN/NC but, alas mostly calm stuff now. It's good for my abs and my soul.

Shhhhhh. I've been trying really hard not to say anything.

I'm sorry to use you for an inside joke. Read this thread.

Oh, it's okay. I don't mind it I'll have to go read that other thread sometime when I have more time. Maybe when I'm kayaking.

If you can read while kayaking, you're doing it wrong.

Ha! Got it. Nice. Now I'm going to have to use another word for my workout. Paddling? That sounds even dirtier. All 50 Shades of Watersports.
