Today's Comedy

Comedy and anger....

On Wednesday's in NYC we don't have alternate side parking.  (Alternate side parking is this pain in the butt thingy we do so the streets can be swept.) This is usually my day to head to the gym about an hour later...and just mosey through my day before practicing and Mid Week service at church.

Things didn't go that way.  I can't find my iPod. *crisis music thrown in right here* I'm at a loss for words.  I've been rushing so much and I've been so tired in the mix, I just can't figure it out.  Gaaaah!!!  I can't remember if the last time I saw it was in DC, in my mom's car or at the audition I did this past weekend. *weep*  Needless to say, my house is in extra disarray because I need to see it and know that it is around working. LOL

Antywho, so I hit the gym in anger forgetting my water bottle in my mom's car (who is off to BJ's by this point.).  Seriously can anything else get crazier??  Why yes.

So, I'm on the treadmill getting my C25K in and a commercial comes on for tomorrow's Scandal. (I'm such a Scandalista.)  Somewhere in that commercial I lose where I am on the walk run thingy.  ROFL!  The next thing I know I'm running for 90 secs and walking for 60.  That is NOT the way of week 1.  LOL  Oh well...I got it in and I feel good.

Now off to practice.  Have a great day!!

FMM: Getting to Know Each Other

Happy Monday All.  I haven't been here in a while and well..what's a good excuse?  I don't know.  LOL  Just a lapse.  Life has been busy, but good..with a little weight gain, but back on the game.

Last Thursday, I went to my regular WW meeting and I gained 4lbs over the holiday, and this year, I'm not mad.  Granted, if I had eaten a tad bit better and exercised at least 3 days a week, maybe those 4 wouldn't have happened.  *shrug*

Just know I'm back, around and will probably need this with the amount of music I need to learn.  Plus, I need to be more accountable while learning music and not eating tons of gummy bears.  LOL

Happy New Yeearrruuh!!!

LOL!!  I haven't been here since the start of the holiday season.  I fell off of 2 wagons, but I picked myself back up before 2012 ended and got back on my game.  I've been tracking points and tomorrow I will go and weigh - in (*wail, sigh and wail some more*).

I hope that everyone is having a great start to their new year.  I'm claiming victory in a lot of things in 2013...starting with the chub.  LOL

Happy New Year!!!

It's been a long time....Happy Early Turkey!!!

*sigh*  I haven't written in a while and God knows that I have missed it.  Heck...I miss my non reader/readers.  LOL  Things have been so intense in so many ways.  I was learning an opera that is more intense than intense.  Norma...it was I.N.T.E.N.S.E.  It is now done and I'm gearing up for  learning my next operas...Aida and Il Trovatore.  (I know some folks are like...hunh? LOL)  It's called...good music.  LOL

Anyway, due to some chronic back pain, I haven't been able to exercise like I like to.  I hurt.  I haven't slept well and honestly, I'm a little cranky about it and feeling a tad chubby.  I've decided to just go on a really clean way of eating.  Even more clean that normal.  My mom was watching a Dr. Oz show and a doctor mentioned that we should only eat foods with one name.  i.e. carrots, turkey, oranges, etc.  That's extremely clean for a potato chip and donut eater.  Bwaah.  I'm down cause I've GOTTA feel better.

So as with every Monday, I'm doing the Friend's Making Monday: Thanksgiving Edition

Some Days are Just....

Some days are just...crazy...and throw you in a loop.  I'm working hard and I put on something and I still feel the chub that I was almost 30+ pounds ago.  We all have those days.

Today was my 3rd day in a row of Bikram practice this week.  I love Bikram, I've said that before, but I realize I get annoyed with others who cramp my practice style.  I get to the studio early so I can lay my mat and towel down, get all situated the way I need to keep myself sane, etc.  Today right as we are gearing up for the first breathing exercises, a couple ran into the already cramped room.  Thankfully, my teacher who is a witty woman, mentioned that getting to class on time is imperative.  She also mentioned that it was unfair to all of us who get to class on time and set up...to now be cramped up. *sigh*  By the time we got to the Dandayamana - Bibhaktapada - Janushirasana, I was feeling claustrophobic.  Just too many FOLKS. 

Grrr....

The teacher also had a funny story about people who refuse to breathe in and out through their nose.  She said she was in practice one day and this guy next to her was breathing his cold/allergy filled breath all on her during rest between the cobra pose.  In her words, it was the most disgusting part of her practice.  Bwaaaaahaha!!  At the time she was telling this story, we were in the cobra pose and i was feeling the same way.  The woman next to me was breathing through her mouth all on my shoulder.  I just wanted to yell out..."BOO CLOSE YOUR DAMN MOUTH."  LOL *sigh*

Oyi, oyi....LOL....

Well, I'm off to nap so I can practice before church service tonight.  

.......................peace and blessings........and Namaste............

FMM: Uniquely You

Happy Monday!!  I can NOT believe it is October 1st.  WHERE IS THIS YEAR GOING????  I swear time is just running away.  LOL  Well, I woke up late and a tad behind on my daily game.  What's new?  LOL  So, while I get my first cup of coffee in me, before the gym....I shall get the Friend Making Monday down!!

Have a fabulous day!!

8 Weeks Until Turkey Day

On Thursday in my WW meeting, we discussed it being 8 Weeks until Thanksgiving and trying to make goals before the holidays kick in.  I thought I would write them here to keep myself accountable.  Sometimes we need to write down/blog/etc.  just to keep ourselves focused.

Here they are......

1.  I want to eat well.  There will be times where I will botch up, but my main focus is to eat lots of leafy greens, beans, lean proteins, etc.  
2. Track.  Tracking is the main thing with WW.  Tracking and staying within my points. Track, Track, Track.
3. Try and go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week.  If a couple of those days I go twice a day...BAM!  I really would like to even get in 4 days of Bikram. (I really love it!!) Plus there are some poses that I would really like to get a "grip" so to speak on...LOL!  Also....I'm using the yoga as weight training...why?  Cause i just resent weights.  I don't know why...I'm working on that issue.
4. My goal for the summer was to run a mile.  Okay, summer is officially over...I think...and I am still hunting/dying to get this mile in.  LOL  So, if I could get close to a mile I would love that.
5. I also plan to give away clothes that are too big.  Lately every time I put on a 2XL tshirt, I realize how many inches I've lost.  My clothes look like I'm swimming in them.
6. Buy a heart rate monitor.  Honestly I used the heart rate monitor money from last month on some Sugarpill Eyeshadow and a couple of palettes from BH Cosmetics.  *snicker*  The deal sealer was an episode of Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition.  I can't remember the name of the lady...antyway Chris and his wife showed this woman how much you can slack when you don't work up to the appropriate heart rate.
7. Drink more water.  You would think that I drink enough with Bikram, personally...I don't think I drink enough.  I would like a good 100oz. a day.
8. Get closer to a size 12.  Honestly, if was comfortably in the next size...I would do a jig of joy.
9. Maybe get closer to a plant life diet.
10. Not beat myself up if I don't conquer these goals.  LOL

Okay...this is done and I'm going to bed.  Many things to do!!!
