Get Healthy: Eat Less Meat

Since turkey day has passed and I've had my fill of that good ol' bird, I've decided to try and go vegetarian. Yet again. Yesterday marked one week of no meat. I hope I can keep it up!

Get Healthy: Gym!

I finally got my year long pass for the gym today at the community center by our house. I am gonna get in shape! I am gonna get all strong and freaky looking like Madonna! Watch out world!

Not only did I venture out (with support from my dear sister, Kruger) to get the pass, but I actually convinced myself to walk in the drizzly, dreariness to go to the gym. It's nice because everyone there was using the weight lifting equipment, so I had the things I wanted all to myself. I did 30 min on the elliptical and 30 min walking on the treadmill.

I am so out of shape! By the time I was done I was a little lightheaded. Although that could have also been due to my poor caloric intake and lack of water for the day.

Included is the picture on my ID. It looks like a picture of a convenience store robber on the news.

I thought the picture looked like the wanted signs in the subway you see when rapists are on the loose.

Get Healthy: Hydrate!

I've known for a long time that I drink a woefully inadequate amount of water a day, so I finally decided to buy a special water bottle that holds all I need to drink a day. This way I can monitor my water levels without having to use my memory. I drink even less than I thought! I thought maybe I would drink half of the suggested amount, but it seems to be something more along the lines of 1/5 (I've been drinking down to about that first line). I wonder if this could explain my chapped lips, dry eyes, dry ears, dry nose and spare tire. I wonder if I may be slowly mummifying myself.
