the biggest loser

i just bought this new video by jillian micheals, the crazy ripper trainer woman on that show the biggest loser.

holy crap her workouts are hard. i find myself yelling at the tv even though no one can hear me.

i haven't lost a lot of weight, only about 10 pounds, but my body is changing shape a bit, i am seeing less flabby bits, and i am feeling good about my two month goal for aruba.

i've kinda been a slacker this week, but it's gotten so hot that i don't know i can even hike at 6 am, because exercise in extreme heat is the worst. plus, my whole stomach issue, which i should know what's going on with that in a week!

i so cheated today by eating lots of cheese and bread, but i am going to have a veggie packed salad for dinner, and exercise again tonight.

with that said, i pretty much hate working out, and eating right, but it's the only way, because i am not rich enough for plastic surgery, jk. sorta.

i have been watching lots of movies lately, and if you are a woman and romanticize marriage, then do not watch revolutionary road, because it will destroy your fantasy. it makes me never want to get married. but kate winslet is really my fav actress i think, and its creepy how she played a woman who doesn't even like having children when in real life she has kids.. she plays the role so well.

i really need to make some new friends because the ones i have here kinda suck, so i have bff'd myself, and sometimes it gets kinda boring, but then i think, all of the really cool people have just gone far far away.

come back tina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

creepers stay away

i was trying to find the lab this morning so i can finally spend three hours of fun here to get my tests done...

im already in a bad mood because i haven't eaten in 14 hours, and then i can't find the place because in az it's all one giant complicated plaza away from the street with no big signs. i swear there is all these interesting places i have no clue about because in ny everything is close the street and everything has big signs.

it's my number one pet peeve about this place, plazas that are impossible and never ending.

anyway, then this creeper in a cab starts following me and acting like he is helping me while really checking me out and trying to hit on me. sorry, but i am not dating right now, and esp not a cab driver. and a bald one at that.

he followed me to my car and i just ignored him and drove away. ewww.

i still follow the rules of stranger danger, so stay away creepers!

airlift rescue

so, all i do is exercise and eat healthy now.

this morning hiking, i saw two helicopters, they kept circling around and my cousin and i were trying to figure out what was going on.

no other people on the trail. somewhat early morning. weirdness!

then we got to the very tippy top and there was a group of people sitting.... we checked out the view, and began going down.

i made a joke about how i wasn't going to carry my cousin down if she fell...

then we see at least ten firemen(only 1 hottie) coming up, with a bunch of stuff and a stretcher on wheels. they asked how much further, and i told them just a few minutes. they asked if we wanted to help, somewhat joking, somewhat serious. i think by the sign of their drenched shirts they were pretty tired.

anyway, turns out it was all over the news... an older lady we having chest pains.

so, new note to self... bring cell phone even though it is annoying to have stuff when running down... because i may need a rescue someday.

oh, and i did 500 crunches today. i am obsessed.

the hardest thing ive ever had to do

waking up at 530 to workout. i hate it.

but i love the results im getting already and its only been a few weeks.

it takes hard work and dedication, and a verrrrrry early bedtime.

i have given up social life for exercise.

speak up

its much easier to get what you want if you just make it known. and even if you don't get it, you will be happier knowing you spoke your mind.

ps. exercise and eating right are addictive.

eye opening

i found out this morning before work that a young man i knew from ub was shot and killed a few weeks ago.

i was completely shocked and upset. although i didn't know him too well, he seemed like a nice guy, and we kissed once. i hung out with him and a bunch of ub people one night and we drank and had fun and craziness. it was one of those random great nights that stay clear in your memory.

what is even more odd is that i have lots of photos of him in my laptop, from that night we hung out, and me and friends would look at them sometimes and laugh.

he was 23, and was murdered the same day he graduated. luckily the cameras in main street caught the murderer. the poor guy's mother had to spend mother's day making funeral arrangements.

it makes me think... i want to really live each day with meaning and be full of life. i know life is hard, but at this age i(and everyone my age) have so much to look forward to, and so many decisions to make and ways to shape my life....

i just don't want to live a wasted life. i don't want to ever feel sorry for myself again and or wish i have something i don't. it can all disappear like that.

i doubt i would have ever talked to him or reconnected with him, but he made an impact on my life. it's a wake up call, to realize how amazing my life is...

i am grateful to be here now.

the end of the world

i had this dream last night that the world was basically/possibly ending.

there was this giant flood everywhere and it destroyed most of the food.

i was somehow in blo and when the flood hit i was with my brother, and i was swimming with one arm so i could save my laptop, which i did.

then i met up with (e:paul), (e:mike), (e:terry), (e:hodown), and (e:matthew) and we headed to wegmans to buy lots of meat and some canned fruit and veggies.

we were living in some house in the sorta ghetto, maybe like one of (e:paul)'s first apartments.

i ended up in charge of the food, surprise, and, i decided the men should eat more so they could stay strong.

other people weren't taking the whole ordeal seriously but we were preparing for the worst, in the most fun way possible of course, with peppercorn covered steaks.

i decided, if the world does end in 2012, i would like the end it with these peeps. however, i really hope there is no end of the world in sight.

80 cent plane ticket

the remaining cost of my plane tickey to blo, 80 cent.

i was using up a voucher. it was actually too low a price and i had to call in to purchase it because the website kept getting all messed up.

i will only be in blo for a few hours... im coming there first so i can travel to aruba with my friend. if i flew from here it would be a 24 hour fiasco, which isn't my thing.

plus better to travel together than alone.

aruba by way of blo here i come!!!!!

women

women tell other women not to trust men.

but really they are trying to divert your attention because it is other women you can't trust.

most will knock you when you're down, and then try and deny it later.

i have less of a problem with men because most don't pretend to be completely honorable.

i'm going in the pool now.
