focus on nutrition

My departure from derby is already starting to make me feel bloated. One of my post-derby goals is to work on core strengthening through Pilates. I am currently looking for an affordable studio. I am also training to run the Tufts 10K and few other races with a group of friends. However, I know that the real reason I am gaining weight is because I eat too much. So, I am going to start focusing on portion size, eating nutritious foods, and cutting out crappy foods with lots of calories. So, this blog will also start to serve as a food journal.
