Paddle boarding, move over....

So, I haven't been blogging so much for the past six weeks because I was doing some things on my bucket list. The paddle boarding thing was a bust; because I did it and it was a lot less exciting than I thought it would be. Plus, my husband took pictures of me which I promptly deleted from the camera. However, we went kayaking and that was so much more fun than expected. It was so nice to be able to be in control of my own little boat, relying on my own strength to get me through the choppy little waves as we made our way to a Boston Harbor Island. Our whole excursion was probably about 4 hours, which translates to 36 days of being unable to use my upper body in any other capacity than breathing or holding my head in place. I have never experienced such a prolonged period of having "noodle arms" or watching as my brain tells the fork to go to my mouth but it hits me in the forehead instead. What I learned from the kayaking experience is that I need more time in the gym lifting weights. I promptly made it back there and have been working with a trainer so that I can stop relying on Mia to blow dry my hair....
