Just a quick check-in:
1. The food really is fairly terrible.
2. Despite that, I've been able to stick fairly well to the plan. Down about 15 pounds.

Nutrisystem, Day 3. Or, the Perfect and the Good
Ok, so about Nutri-System...
1. Yes, I get that this is chemlab, highly processed shelf-stable food.
2. I don't care.
So, how am I doing at it? I've lost 5 pounds!
I'm currently in the first week "Turbo Takeoff," during which I eat only the things they provide me, non-starchy veggies, and zero-calorie supplemental stuff. I consume 64 ounces of water. And I curse God. Just kidding. I don't, actually, but it's a learning curve for me eating this way. My biggest challenges are remembering how to make veggies without oil -- delicious, delicious oil. Anyway, so far so good. I'm committed to this plan for 1-2 months, after which I'll reassess.

New Year, New Me
Over the last few months, a combination of stress and disrupted routine have led to my gaining some weight. Now it's time to take it off.
What's my plan?
1. Nutri-System. Save your moralizing. I really don't care about it or feel bad because I don't feel like meal prepping, and the purpose of Nutri-system is to save me bandwidth that I need for my emotional and mental health. I'm on Day Two of the Turbo Takeoff. Not bad, generally. The food is mediocre, but I can eat infinite veggies, and I am. Plus lots of water. Onward and upward!
2. DietBet. 'Cause reinforcement is good. I actually completed a Stepbet successfully in December, because my goal generally is to build consistency and overhaul my lifestyle. As part of that, I built a daily habit of lunchtime walks and dog walking, and I intend to continue that.
3. Move! 6 days a week. I joined the YMCA when we moved to Austin (though I belonged to the YMCA in Bellefonte, too), which is great for the kids but also gives me access to group fitness classes, swimming pools, etc. I also will be trying out for both a flat track and banked track derby team as soon as I can -- later in January. Hopefully that will mean 3-4 days of derby each week.
4. I get to work from home one day per week. I intend to use the extra time saved by not commuting to keep my routine on track.
Here's to 2018, and a smaller, new me!

Tonight's practice
29.5 in 5!
Worked on reffing. Did poorly, but mainly in that responses were slow. Reffing Saturday at SVDV.
Jersey Shore Game
Wow! Amazing! Had a great game!
Good:
1. PLayed powerful, played strong.
2. PLayed exceptionally well as a jammer.
3. Played well with my teammates as a blocker.
Bad: Took three penalties.
Next time:
1. Be as powerful as I wa sin this game, and cut down on the penalties.
