I used to be against Facebook. That's not accurate. I used to nothing Facebook. I only thought about it the first of the month when Oreo had a limited number of coupons for free Oreos if you bought milk. I miss those days.As with Twitter I learned about Facebook through NPR. I'm that nerdy. Anyhow, I remember it was a Saturday, I was living in Salt Lake on 1300 East and Harvard. My roommate was Ashley E. The host of the radio show on NPR was interviewing a few college kids about this new "Facebook" thingy. Some of them said they had regretted posting pictures, some hadn't, and some refused to sign up. The program ended with me not really sure what Facebook was. It would be nearly six more years before I'd use Facebook on a regular basis.
Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. Candice commented on a friend's link. It was for Nerd Fitness, specifically the post titled A Hobbit's Guide to Walking. I thought to myself I need to move more and I can for sure walk. There's a google doc spreadsheet! More than almost anything I love spreadsheets and keeping track of time, distance, and rankings. Sign. Me. Up! I'm not a fanatic for The Hobbit but this looks like fun.
I started my own journey, invited a couple of friends, and made it visible to the public. (You're welcome.) If you'd like in on the journey email me at DeetzBlog shift+2 gmail decimal point com.
The last week or so I haven't been able to get out of the house to walk. It needs to be a priority again.
I weighed in again this week. I am down .8 lb since last Wednesday. Yay! I never thought I'd be happy to be just under 195 lbs. It'll be nice to see the 180's again.
I've been drinking more water. It's amazing what staying hydrated does for me. Let's hear it for water! I am getting better at realizing when I'm hungry for food vs when my body needs water and doesn't care if it comes from a burger or milk or plain water.
How are you, dear reader, keeping away the cravings for munching and finding time to work out?
