I wonder if posting more would keep me honest about what I am doing. Hmm...considering that no one reads this blog, it may not but I suppose I just have to try it and see.
Our first new skater practice was last night and I think it went well. My feet cramp horribly. Like numb feet in my skates numb so I am going to buy some inserts that Midlife Crashes from ORG recommends. Of course she uses them for super high arches but I'm hoping a little more support in my skates will help. I hate to be the girl that has to stop to shake out her feet and get the cramping to stop. Sylvia Bullet also suggested upping my potassium intake and drinking more water. So I ate a banana and plan on drinking more water. And maybe eating another banana later.
Anyway, I plan on working on my endurance and maybe running on off days. I want to try spinning too but have to figure out the whole Y membership thing. Right now, Rob and I are trying to pay stuff off and save money for a house. Things would go much faster if I could score a PT job. If only derby paid....I'd have tons of billable hours !

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.
