Keeping me honest....

So I have decided that when I remember, I will blog about my quest to actually be teamed and skate next season. In order to do that, I need to start now on my fitness level and endurance.

I've been using Lose It! on my ipod as a way to track my calories and exercise. Can I tell you that this app has faith that users will never eat something like a delicious raspberry zinger? Seriously. No Hostess products are listed anywhere. So overall I do ok but there are some days, like when I hit the Chipotle for lunch, where I intake enough calories for a long time in one sitting. Another issue I have is that I think I lose inches but not weight. Does that make sense? Could it be that I am all muscle? Probably not but you can tell that my body shape has changed since I started my half-assed run/walk program. My belly isn't so sticky outie and the comadres seem smaller. But that could just be me being hopeful.

I've increased my water intake from almost zero to about 50oz. Well yesterday anyway. WTF with the whole take your weight and devide by 2 to get how many ounces of water to drink everyday? Who thought that up? I swear you can hear water sloshing around my belly as I walk like a drunk but using only sober liquids. Maybe if I pretend like I am binge drinking it seem funner and I will get motivated. Although come to think of it, I'm not a very good binge drinker either. And while I refuse to tell you my weight (although I did lose 6 pounds since May), that's ALOT of f-ing water.
