Back in the Saddle Again

Once again, I am attempting this blogging thing.  It has never been for anyone but me.  I don't even have my blog set to be available to search engines.  So why bother?  Cathartic release, mental well-being, documentation of my wonderfully exotic life (ha ha NOT!).  I don't think I have to have a specific reason...but I do have a bunch of random thoughts and musings that I want to put out "there" and get them out of my head.  I don't anticipate blogging daily, but I would like to be a bit more consistent than I have in previous attempts.

Of interest at the moment, over the past 3 or so weeks I have set on three new adventures:

1. I intend to change my eating habits...yes, again!  But I have never had this much desire to do so in the past.  Prior attempts at dieting have been honest, but I can't say I had this much desire.  Of note, my starting weight is 206#.
2. Exercise...like for reals exercise.  My body is so not accustomed to such strenuous work.  Strangely, so far I have discovered I like exercise.  No, it's still Cyndy typing here, don't fall out or call MIB thinking there is some invasion of the body snatchers.  I have been PUSHING myself through the small routines I've set for myself.  Seeing my face all flushed and sweaty is so satisfying.  The burn in my legs is electrifying.  The quiver in my stomach muscles (which I didn't even know I had) is a delightfully painful reminder that I'm doing something good.  I even have work out clothes...hehe I have WORK OUT CLOTHES you guys!!
3. Now I have been throwing this last one out there for about a month now.  Some people think I'm just bullshitting but I mean it...I want to join the roller derby.  Specifically the River Region Rollergirls.  I have skates, pads, even a helmet.  I know gear doesn't make a person a roller girl, but you have to have it.  I have been skating every Tuesday and Thursday, trying to build up my balance and endurance.  I even taught myself have to do a crossover.  Now I just need to learn how to stop. I think in a couple of weeks I will go to the Wednesday night open practice and ask if I can try out. 

Well that's about all I have for now.  It feels kind of good to be back in the saddle again!
