Eating Healthy in Buffalo is the Pits!

· 🌡️ 74°F

Trying to eat healthy in Buffalo is like having an AA meeting in a bar. Between Duff's, Jim's Steakout, and Anderson's, there's just no way I'm going to win the battle of the bulge. Yeah, I could get a healthier choice or eat smaller portions. But really, when your friends are swigging down pitchers of beer and annihilating buckets of wings, eating a chef salad with dressing on the side just doesn't cut it!

I guess all of this just means I'm going to have to get even more time in at the rink and larger pants!

Beginnings..

· 🌡️ 58°F

The beginning of another week, the beginning of another blog. I swear I have blogs to match every day of the week, kinda like underwear. Monday I'll use my estrip blog, Tuesday I'll write in my LiveJournal, Wednesday I'll put something or another in my Vox blog, and so forth. It would probably be smart to stick to one or two main blogs, but I'm rather indecisive, if you couldn't tell. The only things I've stuck with for more than a week are my boyfriend Andy and skating for the Queen City Roller Girls. Hopefully this blog will also fall in that category.

So many things to get done, and so little ambition to do them all. When I'm not slaving away at my job, I'm putting another forty-or-so hours into roller derby stuff. On top of practices this week (there's usually three), I'm making thirty armbands for my teammates, spray painting some pitchforks for my team's introduction on Saturday night, hosting a meeting at my apartment for the bylaws committee, and doing whatever miscellaneous stuff needs to get done before the bout. Needless to say, I won't be getting much sleep the next few days. It will be *so* worth it though! Skating out and hearing about a thousand people cheer for you is pretty spectacular!

With that said, it's time to get my ass in gear. And I don't mean derby gear, unfortunately.
