Roller Girl

I'm so not disciplined about writing the HOG.  Maybe it's because I know that I'm not doing all I can for my health.  The working out is subsiding, the food is still a struggle.  I'm kind of at a loss.  I need to get motivated again and I'm just not. 

I purchased some skates the other day.  Not rollerblades but actual roller skates - with pink wheels.  I adore them.  Since I loved roller skating as a kid I thought I could just pick it back up.  Yesterday I put them on for the first time and literally two minutes later they were off my feet.  I thought I was going to break my neck.  So.....I have this desire to skate but can't because I don't know how to anymore.  What to do?  Did you know there are NO roller skating rinks in the Chicagoland area except the south side of Chicago?  I'm not sure I want to travel to 1122 East 87th St every time I want to get my beginner skate on.  I did find a roller derby workout on Howard that looks really fun but they only do beginners classes twice a month and the next one isn't until Sept.  So what the heck do I do? 

The running is just not doing it for me anymore....especially in this heat.  I need something else to focus on cardio-wise that's fun.  I was thinking maybe I'd go to a tennis court to tool around on my skates.  I just need to get going again and then I think I'll be OK.....but I need something to hold onto or else I know I'll fall....again and again and again.  Oh, I do have wrist guards, so that's good.  However, I think I may need to get a helmet, elbow and knee pads and be one of THOSE people.

I'm going to try and new place to do my Bar Method stuff.  I bought a Living Social and the studio is closer to me and cheaper so I'll try that soon.  I'm still doing yoga and a lot of walking but I need to step up my game.

Don't even get me started on my food intake.  I have been eating my healthy delivery meals, so that's good.  But I also combine them with a cupcake at every sitting, so that's bad.

I'm a work in progress.  Yep.

LOSE ME!
