…I hope
WHEE! It’s been too long. I’ve been so busy this semester even though I only have one class. Although I quit posting I did stay somewhat on track for a little while, fell of REALLY BAD for a little while then have been getting back on. Today I decided I’m gonna try the whole food journal thing again. Starting with TODAY. None of that tomorrow bullsmack =)
But first… a little update =)
I haven’t weighed myself since before I quit posting so I don’t know the exact numbers but I’m pretty sure I’ve gained back some of my 23 lb loss. I know I can’t be back up to 295 because I have this skirt that the only time it’s ever acctually fit was at that weight and I almost lost it on thursday. hehe. That could have been fun… dancing with no skirt on… anyway we’ll get to that later.
More than a month ago I realized that I haven’t been doing my running and I’m not very likely to do it as regularly as I originally planned. I don’t think I ever posted that I’m not going to be running the marathon after all. I wasn’t progressing as much as the schedule required and I wasn’t about to hurt myself for it. I’ll get back running when I feel like it and work up steadily and when I get to the point where I can do a lot then I’ll find another marathon to join (it was only a half-marathon that I was going to do anyway for those who haven’t followed my peice-meal blog). Late one night I saw this advertisement for the BenderBall core training method. It seemed like pretty basic exercises just enhanced with this little rubber ball. The price wasn’t bad for the DVDs either. So I ordered them. They said if you return in 30 days no charges apply so I figured I’ll try it, if it’s lame I send it back no big deal, out maybe a few bucks for shipping. I acctually bought them on VHS because at the time I was thinking my DVD player doesnt work and my VCR does … well DUH i should have just bought a new DVD player cuz I NEVER use the VCR xD oh well… 
I wasn’t very brilliant that week, i was not being able to go to sleep and then having to get up — sleep deprived. Anyway so I never opened it once it showed up and then I got a second box from them and I thought “what in the world?” So I opened them both. Apparently it’s a subscription you can cancel at any time. LOL It had been over 30 days since I got the first one (acctually a pair on vhs, they put 2 25 min workouts on each dvd) and I hadn’t returned it or cancelled so they sent me the next set. So I figured I’d just send the second set back on the return policy. More on this exercise video in a bit.
So, I joined a musical as a Liesure studies class at college, It’s gonna be a blast. We’re doing Oklahoma! I didn’t get a part but that wasn’t at all surprising. I’ll have a blast in the chorus as usual =). So thursday night we did our first night of practice. We danced for almost three hours with a 10 min break in the middle. =D LOL i was sore the next day (yesterday - friday) I told my sister “i think i discovered some new muscles” I used my whole body in ways I dont’ normally. It was a workout, everyone was sweating =).
Then the next day, friday, yesterday, I could tell i had too much sugar in my system I was irritable, hot, my body was trying to deal with all this sugar but I didn’t need it and I wasn’t using it. So I decided hey I’ll try that exercise video see if it’s any good. So I had to dig through stuff for almost 30 mins before I found my missing cable. I still haven’t finished moving my stuff out of my old room *sigh* gotta do that this afternoon … unless something better comes up =P. Yes, I know i’m terrible. So I did the first video, the core method. It was pretty easy in some parts and not in others. It was a pretty good workout but I don’t have the balance for it, but the balancing is really what gives you the toned core. So I didn’t feel very exercised so I went ahead and did the buns & thighs tape too. (these 2 are the 1st set) and OH BOY did it work those thighs =D lol its great. I highly reccomend it. It’s not too hard, and it’s kinda fun trying to balance on the wobbly lil ball =) The weight limit for the ball is 300 lbs. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the website before I ordered and it was something I was worried about myself so I’m posting it here for you guys.
Anyway so today I’m sore EVERYWHERE and OHBOY does it feel great! Wheeeeeeee 
so I’m gonna cancle my subscription to BenderBall but I’m gonna go ahead & keep the 4 tapes I already have.
For anyone who’s curious: I’m not being payed for this testimonial, I just really thought it was fun. =D I hope anyone who buys it based on my reccomendation agrees!
So, My plan for now is to record everything I eat, try to eat a little something every 2-3 hours to keep my metabolism up. Keep track of my weight and maybe keep track of my measurements. I really am trying to lose about 30 lbs by showtime, that’s about 3-4lbs a week. The performance is probably the first week of May, or the week before or after that. We’re going to schedule it around finals and local graduations and such so that people don’t have conflicts. I know that one of the local highschool’s graduations is Friday, May 9th and the next friday is the colleges graduation. So we’ll have to see. I’m guessing it will be Apr 30 & may 1st & 2nd Not sure how many nights we’ll do it but that’s my guess wed thur fri that week =)
Anyway that’s my update =D
Glad to be back
I now have 104 comments to check. I’m guessing at least 80 are ads but the few that aren’t will be worth weeding through the others to find =)
~*Nancy*~
Time to go check on ppl
PS :
As an interesting side-note
of my 104 comments which were posted over the course of about 6 weeks
9 were posted from the IP 64.22.110.2 either commenting on a diet to reduce acne or by the name Daniel saying he didnt understand the post and has a link back to a variety of email addresses/homepages
79 [[i forgot to check how many were on the 4th page]]
were posted by IP’s starting in 85.255.120 either advertising one of two particular drugs or videos of a nature I would rather not use the word for to not attract any more comments of that variety all these comments had mostly nonsense names and the e-mail address on the first 60 and some of the 4th page i saw was the same garbage name [at]gmx[dot]com the rest advertiesed a variety of drugs and had a variety of email addresses, about 4 diff servers
2 were posted by IPs starting 209.59.201 and had similar gramatic types but no apparent connection other than that
3 were posted by email address starting radiusali about amazon discounts but the rest of the info varied
1 had no connections to any that i saw today but i’ve had it before. it just repeats a section of my blog and links to a forum where my blog’s been linked dozens of times =/
8 other spam types had no connections to any others in the list that i noticed
AND TWO ♥ A FULL TWO REAL COMMENTS ♥ =D
I knew that there was at least one in there =D
If anyone reviews the security tapes for today then I’m sure there will be a few laughs. ANYWAY 4 laps around the store running = just over 1 minute. But then I was so out of breath i could barely keep walking. But I did. I ran 4 laps which i decided to call one set. Then I walked 3 sets. Then I ran another set and almost didnt make it to the end. Then I walked 3 more sets. this was 15:36 =] woot 15 mins of exercise haha. =]
I didn’t miss the 47 “adult video” comments that I just deleted but hey, that’s the way the internet goes.
