Major Updating

I feel like there is a lot i have to update, but not really. lol

Hmm..okay, bullet points?

* I am super geek, and i went online shopping. I bought a pair of Kung Fu/Tai Chi shoes.. no really, theey're for martial arts, but they're so comfy. ChrisDeLicious also has a pair, i tried his on which made me want to buy mine.. granted he has like a size 13.


*I also bought the first season of Bones, i am so addicted. And whats weird is.... when they talk about bones before they point it out on the subject, i actually know where it is. And when they say something incorrect, in my head i'm going.."Noo, they can't do that with potassium-argon dating, it has to be argon-argon dating." It's becauase i'm lame, i also bought the first book by Kathy Reichs, called DEJA DEAD. hahah. Kathy Reich books are what the show Bones is based on. The lead character in the books is Dr. Temperance Brennan, but on the show.. the lead character is Dr. Temperance Brennan, and she writes books about a Kathy Reichs. These people are clever, right?


*My DDR workouts have been going well.. BUT I had to cut short a couple times because my legs were killing me. Like.. it felt like charlie horses while i walked. So in the Slim in 6! DVD theres like a section just for stretching, so whether you work out that day or not, stretch type deal? So i did that, it made my leggies feel a lot better.

*first compliment
Despite me not really liking my roommate, he gave me a compliment today saying that he thinks i'm losing weight. I take that seriously, lol. This is because he lives with me and sees me every day, and a lot of the times the people you see everyday are the ones you don't see a lot of progress in because it's so gradual. Plus, my weight hasn't changed, but a compliment and my looser pants will do.

*I am trying to be a vegetarian.
LOL, i have before, i think the longest i went was for like 6 months. But.. that was back in HS when all i ate was Chips and cookies and said shit like, "Hey, theres no meat in this" what an idiot. lol. Today is my second day attempting vegetarianism. Yesterday for lunch i had a veggie burger, vegan mozerella cheese, and grapes.. for dinner i had a vegan "griller" burger lol, and veg/fruits. the Vegan burger tasted A LOT like the burgers they used to sell in HS.. and they were yummo! For dinner tonight, i had a Vegan Italian sausage, fries and fruit. I also bought tofu, but i'll tackle a meal with that on my day off.. i'm going to need the time.

**My friend/co-worker Scotticus Maximus (Scott Maxwell) is a vegan and has his own vegan/veggetarian catering service on the weekend, he's helping me out by giving me his old VegTimes magazines (i think thats what they're called). And we're going to go grocery shopping together once a week, or every other week. cool right?
I also sit by a rastafarian who is a vegetarian, he's giving me pointers too.. his name is Jean and he has long dreadlocks. Next to Jean is Margherita, and she's a vegetarian too.. she introduced to me Tofurky. lol. I love my coworkers.
So,i'm trying to be a vegetarian.. like this guy:

lol. And if you want to know why, it's kind of a lame reason.. and here goes:
The other night when i was driving home, because i live in a new suburban area, there arent a lot of street lights. So.. i saw a huge dog in the middle of the road that was dead. And if you know me well enough, i actually start bawling every time i see a dead animal in the road if it looks like it just happened, or if i can still see his face. (like once i saw a squirrel run across the road, get hit then seizure on the side of the road, i fucking lost it. I had to hold on to the steering wheel and put the music louder because i was like screaming.. lol, funny but not). So i figure... shit, if i feel this bad about animals that accidentally die, what about the ones that are killed on purpose? And i mean, there are free range food, but the way they're killed doesn't change.It's not like they strike them with a rainbow knife or something. So.. i love meat. I love steak, pork chops and all that jazz, especially coming froma culture that literally does not throw any part of an animal away. But i'm pretty sure i love my animals more, and petting them, and cuddling, and putting policemen hats on my pet goats. :)

(for real though, this is my goat. And that's Rubys police man hat from her Holloween costume.. lol)



p.s. i say attempting vegetarianism, because it's hard. I would hate to call myself a vegetarian then fail, ya know?

...those fearless unicyclists

`Last night i went ahead and babysat for an autistic kid named Ritchie, he was cute. Ritchie was also uber non-reponsive, and dhe slept a lot which was good. I watched the marathon of Unbeatable Banzuke, where my post title is from lol.

Right now, Kadie and her bf are peeling shrimp and we're about to grill stuff and eat yummy food.

I was thinking that i actually don't like a bunch of things and i'm always like 'Man, I hate blah blah blah'. So here is a list of my likes and dislikes!

*people who don't tell me why they don't like me to my face, but tell other people. I understand you're a pussy, there's probably a reason why it's better we're not friends. :)
*people that live by too many rules
*people that don't like animals
*littering
*people who don't do their dishes
*people who don't stand up for themselves

Are you kidding me?

So today was my first day doing DDR, and I was on it for about 3 hours. Since i'm still pretty new, i was on beginner/basic (steps not too fast or too difficult) so i lost about 650 calories. The harder the levels, the faster, more steps, more calories. etc..

In the middle of my playing, i was wondering if this could *really* help me lose weight. I know a friend of mine said she lost 15lbs playing for a month. HMMM SKEPTICAL.

I went online to do a search, and LOW AND BEHOLD i found i website called www.ddrfitclub.com
This is awesome. The first page is weight loss success stories, and they're so cool lol. None of them changed their diet untill AFTER they saw they were losing weight Here are two before and after pics, this is Matt Keene, and he lost between 140lbs and 150lbs

WOW RIGHT?! lol that's freakin insane. And here is another before and after picture, and this is Tanya Jenson, she was 235lbs, and lost about 95lbs


Soo.. haha not only am i doing ddr, but my diet is pretty good and i swim. :)
I actually joined the website, www.ddrfitclub.com, just so i can read articles and helpful hints.. soo, if you wanna play, call me and come over! YAY!

Who would've thought video games could make a positive outcome?

STFU!

So i clocked my block.. (haha it sounds like cock blocked), and you know how previously i said that my block is around .25 mile? ITS NOT. ITS A WHOLE FREAKIN MILE. So when i jogged three times around, it wasn't .75 of a mile, but it was actually 3 MILES! haha, how ridiculous! It makes me happy :)

I kinda fell off the bandwagon of working out and eating correctly this week :(, well i didn't eat terrible AT ALL, but i definately haven't been working out the wya i've wanted to.

I purchased Dance Dance Revolution today!!! HOORAY! And it has a weight loss plan on there too, you put in your stats and it keeps count of calorie loss. I think this little game is magic, because on the days i DO NOT want to work out, it's like.."i don't want to work out, let me play a video game" and totally psych myself out and actually be working out. I'll definately do a review on it tomorrow after my first time using it, lol.

OH I bought my very first People Magazine today! Not such a great feat considering all the arbitrary random shit in the magazine. The only reason i bought is, is that in the corner of the cover there is a story of 5 real women and how they lost over 100 lbs. which is awesome. And none of them are famous, they all lost it themselves (whether with help ornot, such as weight watchers, jenny craig or nothing). They are so gorgeous, so i bought the magazine just for that article for some sweet motivation :).

Haha I am so pathetic. I watched the season finale of Bones and House the other night, andi bawled like a baby for House.. ugh, so lame. I was about to cry for Bones, but.. haha plot changed, and i was relieved. If you want to know what happened, just ask me lol.

Okay, so.. no regrets for this past week, but I know I can do better. Wish me luck! :)

Oye Vey!

I can't believe i haven't written in a couple days.

I was going to write at Karens, but i really wanted to get going and go to the brothers location.. when i did, i tried to sign into Blogger, and freakin.. it brought me to my old old old blog from 2004 i used to have on this thing. I was a very angry person! lol

I haven't worked out in three days, OUCH. Tomorrow, i'll be whipping my ass hardcore. But at least i got some R&R from kicking my own ass last week, i had charlie horses, and cramps, i was walking weird because my thighs were so sore. But i also started my period, soooo i think it's good i took a couple days off.

Speaking of a couple days off, Karen and I are going to have a little rendezvous near the end of the summer for a little more R&R in ORlando. I'm so excited! I don't think i've ever checked into a hotel by myself before? it's gonna be so awesome, it's pretty much when you realize that you're an adult... kinda. I'm sort of there. lol.

**totally off topic, if there was one
I really want a boyfriend. But unlike last time, i don't want to sacrifice my freedom or my personality. Not to be conceited, or egotistical, but i'm freakin AWESOME. I speak my mind, you have nothing to worry about in regards to me lying to you. You might have to worry that i'm really out spoken, and i don't mean to hurt your feelings. I want a real man who can joke around a lot, but also know when to stop. The guy that farts on you and messes around at home, or in privacy, but also is the one who opens the door and pulls out the chair. Already, no one like that exists, lol. Either they're waaay too far to the left, or too far to the right.
And guess what? I'm not picky, AT ALL. I just have really high standards that are rarely met. Not just for my bf's, but for my friends and family too. I just want someone funny, honest and caring.
Truthfully, i don't have time for a bf right now. Just me. :)
off to play some Sudoku or WordSpy (BEST GAMES EVER)

OH yeah, day 3

Not only is this day 3, but it's also my first day not signing on to MySpace! YAY.

It shouldn't be that hard for the next couple of days because i'm not going to be home. Karens first, where we can party hardy then work out.. lol then off to Orlando, where i will convince my brother and Heather In Law (who i will now refer to as HIL) that they don't need their mountain bike. No. And that Capella shall aquire it! YESS.

My food is beeping at me in the microwave.. and so i don't really want to type much, but lets start off with pictures- yes? YES!!!

7:00am - in the kitchen, dazed but waking up, post sleepy time pre work out.
that flash is absolutely heinous(you can see my eating schedule on the fridge behind me, lol)


7:30- I procrastinate, and my Ruby says, "If you don't get your feet moving, i'm biting them into action" i say.. "oh, okay."


10:15am- done with workout and pool.
BUT when i was in the pool, i found Diego floating face down in the water :(
So i rescue him and he counts my laps for the day. I accidentally cut him in the first picture, you can see my guilt in the second:


LOL do you like the tiny hairs that dried first and are flying all over the place? My fan was on.
So today, i did Slim in 6! I did a lot better, I wasn't winded after a couple minutes like the last two days, and i didn't have to modify as many moves either. HOOWAY. I wasn't planning on swimming, but i felt like i didn't do enough, so i went to the pool. I did less laps today, i did 5 :(. ONE lap consists of: only legs back and forth, then only arms back and forth = one lap. I did do a couple 'real' laps of swimming. Then i did strength training with what i had available to me. And using your own weight totally works people. Especially when you're halfway in the water and you're pulling yourself out, it's a little harder.

I also said fuck the swim cap! But my hair said, FUCK YOU! And everytime i looked up for a breath, it was all over my eyes. :( Stupid lose-lose situations. lol

well yay, hopefully i'll be writing tomorrow, post work out again!

Hooray Me!

Sooo today started off pretty good as well.

Because of recent events, i've been listening to Kelly Clarksons, "Since U Been Gone" a lot. It pretty much fits my situation. And it's actually been feeding my motivation pretty fully.

Speaking of motivation, I must've had a lot this morning to get up and do another work out from "Slim in 6!". I now know why the before and after pictures of people in Slim in 6! are so dramatic, this shit is HARD. But i'm also not getting renumerated :(
so today:
*Slim in 6!
*a kazillion laps in the pool.

okay, so it wasn't a kazillion, but it felt like it, cause i was out of breath the whole time. I did 10 laps of just legs (that's right, swimming back in forth with my arms to my side) and another 10 laps of just arms (that's right again! my ankles were crossed, and i was only using my arms). Duders, i'm getting buff as fuck, better watch out. Then a kazillion* real laps.
Swim cap was giving me a hard time again :/

OKay, well my MEAT is defrosted and it's time to cook me my lunch. I work at 3, uber excitement there! hmm.. nothing else really...






*Kazillion is just an estimation

p.s. a quote from one of my favorite shows:
Booth: It's like everyone want to be the next American Idol, the next Kelly Clarkson.
Bones: Kelly Clarkson?
Booth: You know.. "Because of You"?
Bones:..... because of me?

First Post, whoohoo!

Well, the reason I started this blog is because I mostly blog on MySpace, and I won't be signing on to MYspace or Facebook from May 16th until sometime in August.
... but i still want to blog? And i don't think it's a bad thing.. i'm just keeping in touch, telling it like it is, and updating my life online, right? sweet.

So today started off pretty awesome. I woke up at 7am, it was supposed to be 6:30, but Karen and I were on the phone last night till like 1:30ish, which i'm sure we both regret because she had to go to work and I had to work out. Yes, i woke up at 7 on my own will because i wanted to work out. AWESOME, RIGHT? haha. not.

It's this regime i started on my own. I really want to work out like everyday, but if i wait till like... after my morning pee i get reluctant and not want to do it. THat's exaggerated.. because i definately pee first :)

So today.. i did a workout video (Slim in 6!) lol, i don't think it works like it says it does, but i mean, it gets me off of my bum and it's a good warm up. actually.. it's really slow kinestetics (sp?!) but it lets that acid flow to your muscles and it BURNS LIKE HELL. Think like.. putting your arms straight out to your side and doing small circles for an hour. LIke that kind of burn.
Then i walked/jogged around the block a couple times (our blocks aren't like those small suburban blocks either. They're about a track length round or more? so a little more than .25 mile?). I then jogged over to the pool where i proceeded to swim a couple laps. This was my first time with my swim cap, those little shits are hard to get on, dude!

AND IM FEELING GREAT! You.. shouuuldd... get on my case if i don't work out for a day? i mean, i'll be pissed that you're being annoying, but i'll get over it and thank you eventually. :) lol

So right now, i am defrosting some meat (1 carb/1 protein/unlimited veggies) for lunch, yummo! and I'm about to wash the chlorine off this curvy bod.. haha.

Aww yay, first blog. Blogging is fun... because you get to talk about yourself.. and people read it. BWAHAHA.Gotcha.
