Deep Freeze Day Two

Weight: 210lbs

Ha! So I was reading the post I left yesterday morning talking about how if I went outside I would likely shiver off a bunch of weight. Well, I should learn to keep my mouth shut. My Dad picks me up from school and drives me down south to my Truck and bam! My tire is flat. So my Dad and I (mostly my dad) had to change my tire. In the super cold weather. Effffff. So I go through hell and back with my tires yesterday, from travelling the whole city with my Dad attempting to find the right tire, to spinning my wheels for about forever. And I wake up this morning only to find that my spare tire is flat. ugh. So I've ate like crap for two days. I'm so disappointed that I just give in to my emotions like that!!! AHH. I guess I will just have to get over it and get back on that horse and start again. Well thats all for now I suppose!

Stay Warm!!

Holy Cold!

Weight: 209lbs

So none of you would know this, since it took me like 8 days to post a new entry, but I've been under the 210 mark for almost a week now. This is so exciting for me! On Saturday I got down to 206! Which was unreal! I'm so close to being under 200lbs I can TASTE it! I havent been under 200 since like junior high.

So its like 47 below today. SOOOOO cold! I figure that if I stand outside for long enough I might be able to shiver off like 10lbs. But I am much to selfish and enjoy staying warm too much to do something as ridiculous as that! haha! Mind you I went to the big lululemon sale this weekend and waited in line for like 2 hrs and I'm pretty sure that plus the dancing that night is what made me 206! hahaha so it was definitely a good plan.

Anyways its so cold my class got cancelled so I am sitting at school killin time so the trains will be less full so i can go home! So I should maybe do some homework or something. Ha. Homework...

Game On!

Weight: 213lbs
53 Days without Chocolate (I dont know if I mentioned that I gave this up over xmas. But yes I am a recovering chocoholic!)

So like I said, the weight yesterday had a very specific situation behind it. Mind you I doubt my midnight cocktails and popcorn helped my cause today! Hahahaha! Mind you it was smart pop and I only had two drinks but it was REALLY late when i ate last night. And Nikki pretty much saved me from myself AGAIN last night (what would I do without her!) by making me eat smart pop instead of the bag of chips that I really wanted! lol! But today was my first baseball practice of the season!! Oh how I missed that game quite terribly! I'm super excited to be starting up again (pitching is CRAZY good exercise!). So I had practice today but unfortunately there was only two people there (including myself) so tough to run a practice but really good workout/technique time! Then I drove back to the city and taught pitching for an hour which is always good, I love doing waaaaaaaaaaaay more than I thought I would actually.

Thats pretty much it for today. Nothing very interesting, just me dieing a slow death from intense cramps. Have a great one!

Dancing All My Stress (and Pounds) Away!

Weight: 210.7lbs

Now dont get overly excited there are circumstances to this weight. I went out dancing last night, so naturally because I was DD I didnt drink meaning less calories. BUT I did have nachos at work last night. Shame on me, I know. Anyways this means that I didnt get home till three in the morning which means i didnt get up until 2:30 this afternoon. So since my body had like twice as long to eat up all the calories as it usually does that is why my weight is so skewed. I usually only get 6-7 hrs of sleep a night (which is fine I am comfortable with that amount it just means my results are off a little) However if I weigh this much tomorrow we can get super excited.

But dancing. Holy man. If you dont drink/limit your drinks (I had one shot! lol not gonna kill me), you'll shed the lbs like nothing else, cross my heart. Greatest exercise ever. If only I had the energy to be out until three in the morning every night! ha!

Flat Lined

Weight: 213.2lbs

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I cant take this anymore!!!! I've been between 214-212 lbs for EVER I'm going crazy! I dont know what to do! I dont know how to drop the lbs! I dont have the time or energy to work out more than 4-5 times a week. I take a boxing class on mondays, I try to fit a workout in on Tuesdays but I'm friggen wiped by the time I get home from school and then I know i have to work until close which means I have to make myself dinner which takes a good hour. And I'm trying to read more, cause it tends to make me less hungry (though lots of time it makes me crave other things. aka a boyfriend pffffffft stupid romance novels that I adore!) So I like to get some reading in and then bam work until 11:30pm and sure I close the gym down I could stay late and blast a workout but I'm not trying to be in super duper shape I am trying to be HEALTHY which means getting enough sleep which I am BARELY managing! Seriously not including group meetings I've got 16 hrs of class a week and then like 24 hrs ish of work a week and then group meetings for school which is another 4-6 hrs a week. Then I box on mondays and I teach on Sundays and I'm trying to get back into a pitching schedule and I have practices for ball and then I'm trying to workout seperately on top of all that and still mangage to fit in a social life. Could I be much busier?? (I'm sure I could manage) But through all that seriously I cant find the energy to workout anymore! ugh.

Pfffffffft anyways class is done. which means I am done. for now!

Measurements/ Weigh In Number One!

So I definitely wanted to have this done earlier but things have been slightly insane in my life right now, between school and work and training I've been crazy busy!

January 15/08

Weight: 212.6lbs
Chest: 36in
Waist: 35in
Thigh: 22.5in
Hips: 39in

Unfortunately, on Tuesday I went slightly insane and binged, hard. So I gained like three lbs in a day and then lost it all the next day (not without one hellva cardio workout uggggggh)

Cardio is gradually getting to be less of a pain in my ass. Not that it ever gets easier but its getting less painful to force myself to do. I actually did some running yesterday. I will have you know that running is the bane of my exsistence. But I need to do it to be a ball player right? So i might as well get used to it. Now to get myself back into the weights. It cant be both I always want to do one more than the other effffffff I miss training with the football boys. It was always me trying to prove that I belonged there so I worked hard and pushed myself. I think I need that group mentality. Being that I play a team sport and all haha. Oh well hopefully somehow today I will be able to fit in a weight training workout, if I dont start work at 4. oh man. Soooo busy. But first practice is in 3 days!!! Holy crap I am more excited than you could ever know!!!!!!

Boxing Equals Pain

Oh good god. I am so sore. And insanely tired! I enrolled in a boxing class at work. Its fantastic! All cardio and strength training mushed together and sooooo good for my eye hand! But I am dying. I dont know if I will make it to see accounting class tomorrow (which I am not terribly excited about since this is my second time taking it and I am quite horrid at accounting). And ball season is creeping up on me. It looms closer everyday and I am not in the shape I wanted to be in for season yet. So now its time to pick things up a notch and get serious about my lifestyle. Its time to not be on a diet but to be on a regulated eating plan. Like most real athletes are. Yeah. Thats how I'll look at it. I am being an athlete. I am dedicated to my sport. Maybe that will be just the thing to spin me in the right direction! We will see I suppose! Tomorrow is weigh in *gasp* I am not overly excited about this fact but I suppose that I will live haha.

Anyways, over the last couple of days I have discovered that the friends I hold quite dear to my heart are the greatest people in the world. Yeah I said it. The GREATEST ever. Nikki sits there and tells me how great I look all the time and is totally supportive of the way I eat (haha I cooked dinner on Sat!) and Caroline today was so concerned because she's been eating so much junk food in front of me and now she wants to get back into the health kick so she can be MORE supportive. I love those girls.

Well thats all for now I suppose. I really need to get some sleep. Tomorrow is the big weigh in! So I should be posting but if I dont then it will be up by Wed for sure!

Oh Night-time

I have decided that work is my ultimate diet downfall! And sure all of my friendly magazines say "keep food at work! little snacks at your desk ect ect" well I am 18 years old. I DONT HAVE A DESK! I take food with me and such to work but I mean seriously I can only handle so many tupperware containers at a time and I cant bring in any snack food to my house because my 17 yr old 6 foot 2 black hole for a stomach brother eats EVERYTHING. Anyways so I take this food to work, and you know I work at a Juice Bar at a gym, so you would assume that I wouldnt have an issue with eating bad food. You are sorely mistaken. My Juice Bar has HORRID food! EVERYWHERE! In my display case its all chocolate bars, candy bags, and chips! We serve slushies and upstairs they give us pub food at a discount. And late at night when I am sitting there all by myself and I am bored out of my friggen skull there is that candy bag (not chocolate bars because i have gone 40 something days without chocolate. Impressed? Yeah me too didnt really think I could do it! I'm an avid chocoholic!) and man oh man that candy bag looks mighty tasty! And man it was, so was the second one. EFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Did I feel bad after I ate that. So then! I get home, its like midnight and Im tired but i have to make my lunch for school the next day so I head to the fridge. I look in there and oh man my family made souvlaki for dinner and saved me two. Good god I love that stuff! and its not too bad as far as calories go, it just is when your already over your cals by like 300. So I end up being over my calorie count by like 500 ish. I need to find some serious control! I'm going insane!!! And I half assed almost all my workouts this week cause I feel like DEATH!

Anyways thats all for now!

And Launch!

Hello Hello.

I have decided that I need some way to let out my diet frustrations without burdening my friends with more of my constant whine fest or eating. So here I am. I need to stop eating and start complaining about how I cant eat and how I should exercise! Haha. So here's the basics. One of my best friends and I have decided that the greatest way ever to lose weight would be if you could do it by laughing. Because we laugh. ALOT. Hence the title of my blog, Laughing Her Butt Off, because I would love to lose my ghetto booty. Mind you I did find this study once in one of my gazillion fitness magazines that laughing for 15 minutes extra a day actually does increase the amount of calories you burn. I was so excited I dont think you even understand!


So anyways I'll be posting my first set of stats (aka. weight and measurements) on the 15th. From there on in I will post my weight everyday and drone on and on about the events of my semi - eventful life. For now. Here is my rant for the night!

As much as I love my fitness/health magazines and the websites ect ect ect they are all about women sooooo much OLDER than me! I mean seriously! I am 18 years old (19 in 20 something days!) and I feel like i have nothing to relate to! Am I the only person my age that takes losing weight seriously?! It seems that all my friends are all talk "I really wanna lose weight," "How do you lose all that weight??" they all say/ask, and then they ask if I wanna go for some sort of food that is TERRIBLE for me! Not to say that all my friends are terrible influences. Some of my friends, particularly my closest, have been unreal supportive and always go out of their way to make sure that I'm comfortable with whats going on around me. And ever since I dunno the end of Nov my eating has gone steady downhill. I cant seem to start over or even pick up where I left off. I miss eating at home and being able to cook all my own food but I mean I still live with my parents so getting the food I need isn't all that easy, especially when I want to try a new meal idea and I'm bored with all the old ones! I need to stop eating out so much. Mind you tonight was the first time I've ate out since New Years. Once a month cant hurt right? (Maybe if it wasnt Nachos and hot wings it wouldnt have..... *sigh*)

Anways so at 10 o'clock at night after I dropped Stacey off at home I dragged my sorry ass to the gym and went on the elliptical for 20 mins. I'm so tired, school all day, and then being sociable for a couple hours and then the gym. I should go to bed.

So thats it for right now. I'm sure I will have more of this rant or a brand new one by this time tomorrow! Have a good one!
