In the name of science

For scientific purposes I weighed myself today.  Now for many reasons the actual number the mean little WiiFit board gave me will remain a secret, a lady must maintain a certain level of mystery, and in this case dignity.  The purpose of my vegan challenge is not to lose weight, but that would definitely be a much appreciated side effect. 

My diet has not really been terrible though probably too heavy on the cheese, oh delicious cheese you sexy seductress, and pasta, so filling and comforting.  But more importantly my level of activity would fall in the less than active range.  I hate the word sedentary, cause it makes me think of large men in dirty undershirts sitting around watching tv, and being generally wheezy and creepy.   I like walking, and hiking and luckily I live in a town with a plethora of trails in truly beautiful areas.  The last two nights I have "power walked" with my wonderful dog Ozzie before bed.   and I hope to amp up the exercise over the next month.

I run, and run I mean in only the loosest of terms.  and I have participated in several 5K and 10K runs.  my times are slow but I comfort myself with the fact that at least I did it.  So another goal will be to actually get a half decent time on my next run.  But despite all my short comings, there is a certain invigorating feeling that comes with running, now if only I could be a little more consistent.

So though you won't hear my magic number I hopefully will be able to tell you it is shrinking!
