Snickerdoodles and Running Shoes

I've been silent again, but I've also been good. I've been better at tracking my calories (even today when I had six snickerdoodes and a slice of ham for breakfast). I've told myself that if I don't start losing weight with tracking calories I'll join WW. I've done it before and lost weight, but I don't really like it. I also don't think it's worth paying for another way to track my food if I'm not doing a good job using the food tracking site I already belong to.

The great news is my hip appears to be better. I tried running on Friday and it felt great. I got three miles in. After my sinckerdoodle breakfast I decided to run again, and I once again got three miles in. I think I'll stick to running at most every other day for a while. My goal is to get up to 15 miles a week and stick with it without injury. I love running, but it tends to beat up my body a lot. I imagine that when I am no longer overweight I will have fewer issues running.

I think the trick to losing weight for me is talking about it. That means that if I know you read this site I'm going to be talking about my efforts the next time we speak. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to tell you how much weight I've lost.

Tuesday I'll be posting how much down (or up) I am. I am going to do it every week. If I don't, please call me and harass me.
