and now, the randomness of it all! (HIGH SPEED VERSION!)
(...Originally posted as of May 22nd on my MySpace blog, but copied and pasted and added on May 25th...)
As of last weigh-in, I was 153 lbs. This week, I hopped on the scale to see myself at 150 lbs.
Yeah, not a big drop in weight in the last two weeks. I kind of slipped up along the line with the "watching what I eat" thing, and the "exercising" thing. I slacked off with the exercising, and I really need to pick it back up.
With Turbo Jam, they give you a 2-disc set with:
--Learn and Burn (a short 10-minute run-through of the basic moves)
--a 20-minute workout
--Turbo Sculpt (more for muscle tone)
--Cardio Party Mix 1, which is 45-minutes long
--Ab Jam (focuses on the abdominals, derr). It's not bad because you stand for a lot of the ab workout and are on the floor for maybe seven or eight minutes doing modified crunches.
Plus, they included a crapload of other DVDs, such as Cardio Party Mix 2 and Mix 3, Booty Blast, Fat Blast, and a few others in case you get bored and want to concentrate on other problem areas. You also get the Turbo Jam weighted gloves, "to intensify your workout and help burn more calories," and some resistance bands. It's been proving very hard for me to finish the 45-minute aerobic workout. I can do the 20-minute with no problem, but halfway through the 45-minute one, I'm having difficulty catching my breath and keeping my balance. It's reminding me a lot of back in high school gym class. But then again, I had troubles keeping up in gym class because of my lung-and-a-half. I keep telling myself I have to get used to it and I'll be able to nail it with enough practice. By the end of high school gym, I was able to finish the timed mile-run in under six minutes with enough conditioning (thanks, Ms. Butts!), and I never thought I'd be able to do that EVER.
*tangent* It's been a while since I've been able to sit down at a computer and blog. Er, update my MySpace, mainly because the public library computers have a ban on MySpace. But right now...I'm sitting in front of the old computer, taking advantage of the high-speed Internet in Hunter's black hole of a bedroom. *EEEEK*
*tangent* Trying to get my stuff together to get scheduled for another semester of wonderful, wonderful schoooool in the fall. Went to the Midnight Madness showing of Rocky Horror with Kevin, Fester, Boojie and Max last Saturday. Aaaaaand....Ed hinted something to us about it last week, but on MySpace this week, it's been confirmed. The Art Theater in Hobart has agreed to let us bring back Rocky Horror. CAN I GET A "WHOOP-WHOOP"?! *ha ha*
Hearing this news, I'm happy...and sad, and annoyed, at the same time. I've really, really, reeeeally been thinking about the possibility of rejoining cast. I like the idea of a Pink Invader reunion, but I know it'd never be the same thing like it was in ye olden days of the Crossroads with Shawn (now that he's not in Indiana anymore). There's the part of me that wants to give it one more shot and have a good time all over again. But then again, there's the part of me that keeps telling myself, "That was an era in your life that you can look back on with fond memories, but do you really want to re-live it? You're moving on with your life and growing up, and you can't keep doing that crazy shit forever." I also think that I want to do something much more with my life than playing Janet Weiss in my adulthood. I want to be famous for my own terms, in short.
Then there's the Zero factor, as well. I've talked with Kevin about the possibility of re-joining cast, and I flat-out said, "If Zero's going to be involved this time around, I want nothing to do with it." I know, it sounds as if I've been obsessing about it, but as a friend, he hurt me pretty badly, and just when I thought I was over it...then the revival of Rocky Horror comes to be a possibility, which means he'll more than likely want to be involved, which means he won't necessarily be turned away, which means I'll just be miserable because he'll be a smarmy, pretentious asshole to the tenth degree. I keep thinking about how Ed, Boojie and Fester made it sound like Zero pretty much alienated himself from his friends with his attitude. And then I think....let it go. So what if he'll be involved? Ignore him. He shouldn't be making me worry. Besides, I tried letting bygones be bygones, and I tried to be the bigger person, and I apologized to him, but he was the one who wanted to be an asshole. I'm willing to just let it go, but if he's going to continue to be an asshole about it and not move on....well, then that's his problem.
I just don't know.
