So sleepy. -.- But if I don't post now, I probably won't get a chance later. I'll try to keep this brief.

Like everyone else, I'll be having weight loss as one of my goals for 2014. But I'm gonna put forth a good effort to do it smartly and properly. At this point, my game plan is to have minimal weigh ins (like once a week) or, if I do weigh myself more often, only compare certain days of the week (perhaps Mondays). I'm not gonna force myself to lose 5lbs every week or something. Just like 1-3lbs a week would be good and, hopefully, maintainable. Obviously, gonna do my best to get to the gym often. Also, I really need to start using my treadmill. Even if I only go for a brisk walk, as opposed to a hardcore run. It's literally less than 3 metres from my bed and I'm too friggen lazy to move my arm chair so I can fold down the walking portion? I'm ridiculous.

And I'm gonna push myself to do that 21 Day Challenge (no pastries, ice cream, chocolate, etc.). Just stick to soups and salads at restaurants, yogurts at Tim Hortons, and have a decent amount of healthy foods to pick from for work lunches.

I'm getting the feeling like I'll be able to stick to this this time, but I've been (so very very) wrong before and often. Really gonna try though. I'm gonna be 26 next year and I can honestly say I probably haven't been an "average" weight for like 2/3 of my life. Maybe longer. Something's gotta give. And it'd be nice to just be able to grab whatever in my closet and have it fit properly. But only time will tell.

Off to bed for me. I hope everyone has a good new year and I'll see y'all in 2014. : )

Dunno about peanut butter though. Maybe just in moderation.

​Super quick post.

The latest attempt at a few low-cal days didn't have as good results as the last, but oh well.

And today I went to dinner with my dad's side of the fam. Just the standard buffet dinner at Mandarin and then going to my Oma's after for snacks and small talk. It's amazing how doing so little can make you so sleepy.

So, looks like I'll just be chilling in my room til bed time and then Christmas tomorrow. Yay! : )

Tue. December 17

Gonna go for another few low-cal days.

I've been off work for the last 6 days and have eaten pretty poorly. I haven't weighed myself in those 6 days, but I don't expect a good number. So, since I have work for the next 4 days straight, I figure it'd probably be best to try and go low-cal for those days. Not sure if I'll make it meatless as well, but I'll give that a try too. And, despite a day old shoulder tattoo, I was able to get a good, long work out in tonight. : )

Anyway, bed time for me. Wish me luck over the next few days.

P.S. - I'm really looking forward to my family's XMas dinner at the Mandarin buffet on the 24th, but for some reason, the one food item I'm really looking forward to is the steamed rice with soy sauce. I only just found out they have soy sauce by the sushi display and when I went with work last month, I had like 2 helpings. I've been craving rice a lot lately, but haven't really had much. Maybe this will quiet my craving for a while. lol

Thu. Dec 12

Well, I did it.

After 3 days of meatless, low-cal eating and going to the gym each day, I'm down 6lbs. I doubt there were any inches lost, but I physically feel better. I might need to make this a regular occurrence. Or do a few days carb free or something. I'll see. Also, I didn't get to the gym today, but I just did 50 squats and 10 wall push ups. Better than nothing. : )

All the food I brought to work for lunch/dinner on day 1.

Sun. Dec 8

Gonna give something a try this week.

I'm gonna have a few low-cal, meatless days in a row (Mon-Wed). I work 8 hours on all 3 days, which means I won't be able to snack all day. I'll also be hitting the gym after work for all 3 days, so I'm kinda hoping this'll jump start something. Now, the meatless aspect of this is not the main idea. It's just that when I do low-cal days, they consist of eating things like veggies, oatmeal, cereal, and yogurt. So, I thought why not add a little extra challenge and see what a few days without meat will do. Just for fun.

K, that's all I got. I'll let you know how things played out and if I was able to stick with it.

Tue. November 19

Another overdue update. I know, I know. Sorry. I'll try to keep this brief.

Ok, so, I don't think I told you guys that the battery for the watch portion of my heart rate monitor died. Well, it did, so for a while I was kinda "going in blind" when I did my work outs. I know some calories burned is better than no calories burned and lots of people lose weight without heart rate monitors, but since I've started using it, I really like knowing and I find it helps me to push myself when I can see that my heart rate isn't as fast as it should be.

So, ya, finally got a new battery and then got back to it. 2 weeks ago, I went to the gym for 4 days in a row. Last week, another 4 days. This week, I've already gone once. Gonna go tomorrow after work and then try for Thursday as well. I've also kinda switched things up a bit. I'm been using hand weights more; for bench presses, for squats, and for overall arm strength. I've upped the weights recently too, so that makes me feel good. And strong, of course. lol

Also, my weight is starting to come down a bit slowly. It's not much but it's something. And I was able to ALMOST have a pre-planned low calorie day. I had planned to have an all cereal day. Basically, a cup of cereal and a cup of milk 4 times in a day. However, that would equal about 1140 cals and I know you need like 1200 just for your body to function, so I added a couple apples to the mix. The only unplanned thing I ended adding to the plan was a McRib patty (which was about 300+ cals), so no biggie and it's too much to type to explain the situation. I think it went well though, and I'm hoping to do a cereal/yogurt day tomorrow. :)

K, one last update. I went shopping today a bought a couple nice looking plaid button up shirts. They were L's, but Old Navy L's (which tend to run larger than the actual size), but I didn't really care about the size, I was just happy cuz I'd been looking for nice plaid shirts for a while and happy that I looked good in them. So, I decided to wear one out to dinner and a movie tonight and wanted to pair it with this skirt I hadn't worn in a while. The last time I tried the skirt on, it didn't really fit nicely, so I figured that would be the case today and I'd have to wear something else. Well, it fit. I mean it's still not as "comfortable" as I'd like it to be, but it was absolutely wearable and I thought I looked pretty damn good. Sorry I don't have a pic, but you can take my word for it. ;)

Alright, well, that was a little longer than I thought it would be, but I guess that's what happens when I wait so long to post. Will try to be more diligent in the future. Later taters. 

Mon. November 4

Not gonna do an update or anything. Just a belated Halloween post.

Despicable Me minion... It looks better with the flash.

Tue. October 8

Time for a SUUUUUPER overdue update.

Where to begin? Well, I healed/am still healing from my eye surgery, but I'm on schedule with it. Vision is still pretty blah, but that's to be expected for a few months. I have an appointment tomorrow (4 weeks post-op) and I expect that to go well. And hopefully they'll tell me when I can think about getting my other eye done.

Next, my family vacation to Florida has been "postponed". And by that I mean, it's pretty much cancelled and we'll try again next year around this time. My dad crunched the numbers and between family things and paying for things for my nephew, it's just not in the cards right now. I'll admit, I'm kinda bummed. Even though I just had 2 weeks off from work, I was already looking forward to not having to be there for another few weeks. But I wasn't as excited as I usually am before a trip like this. And the surgery left me with a pretty decent amount of debt that I want to pay off ASAP. On top of that, I'm too fat to be going away right now.

I guess that'll bring me to my next update. I don't know that exact dates, but I pretty much didn't go to the gym for like a month (minus one little trip in the middle). I put on about 8-ish lbs in that time, so now I get to re-add that number to amount I still need to lose. And that little gain has put me back over one of the numbers I told myself I'd never see on the scale again (unless I was pregnant). I finally did get back to the gym last week. I went 4 times and I have plans to go another 4 times this week (already went once). But, of course, all the running and squatting in the world is not gonna make up for the fact that I still eat like crap.How many times do I tell myself I'll get a soup or salad when I go out, and then that pulled pork sandwich looks so good or I just really have a craving for pizza? I just... I don't even have a good excuse. Ya, I'll just leave this alone for now for fear of whining or turning this post into a novel.

So, anyway, that's it for now. Time to get working on my Halloween costume and pray for minimal back fat.

Got a few new tats, thought I'd share.

Fri. September 13

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Just haven't had any good news to report. And not only do I not have good news, I have bad news. I'll keep it brief, but on Sept 3, my Oma (grandmother) had a stroke and ended up in the hospital. She's still there now, but she's getting better. And then, the next day, we found out that one of my aunts passed away. She'd been sick for a while and we knew it was coming, but it still sucks. So, ya, pretty sucky.

But anyway, on Sept 11th, I had laser eye surgery to stop the progression of my Keratoconus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus) in my left eye. I won't bore you with the details, but it was about a 35 min process that involved 2 different treatments. So, I'm now wearing a bandage contact that will have to be worn for 7-10 days, on 3 different types on pain meds and have 4 different eye drops I need to use a very intervals. The morning of the day after was the worse by far; I was figuratively and literally irritated, but once I got on the proper med schedule, it was a lot more tolerable. At this point, I can't tell if my vision is any better, but it doesn't seem worse. Just gotta take this one day at a time and hope I recover quickly.

No weight loss to report, but I'm hoping to get to the gym next week and just slowly get back into the swing of things.

And, lastly, I got a new tattoo today. It's a cute cupcake on my right forearm. I really love the colours and can't wait to see it once it's healed.

TTFN - Ta ta for now

Right after. Took it like a champ.

The snazzy new shade they gave me to wear.

Morning after. I felt as good as I look. lol

Wed. August 14

Time to stop putting this off and just blog.

I'd like to come at you with good news, but I have quite the opposite. I finally weighed myself after about a week of not stepping on the scale; partly out of fear and partly just couldn't be bothered. I knew I'd been bad cuz we'd had a few different types of cakes and goodies around the house for my sister's and nephew's BDays. So, of course, I indulged. I'd still be going to the gym and I didn't think it was too bad, but apparently, it was. I've put on like 6lbs. FML. Honestly though, I didn't notice a change in how my clothes fit before, but I feel like I do now. But anyway, what did I do after I weighed myself? I went to the gym and burned 1000 cals. And then after that? Had chicken fingers and poutine and went to a movie (where I got popcorn) and all kinds of wonderful healthy things. And then today, I was 95% ready to go to the gym, and then I just got lazy and decided not to go. But I didn't stay home and veg out in front of the TV. I cleaned my room a bit, watched my nephew, and just had water. But anyway, something needs to be done.

I'm really hoping that the time I take off of work for my eye surgery will help me get into some sort of routine and I'll come up with a meal plan for myself and all that good stuff. That being said, one thing that I was told was that I was going to have to take Gravol with my pain meds cuz they can do a number on your stomach. So, I may just end up eating crackers for several days. lol. But ya, all I can really do for now is try to be good, not skip work outs and keep reminding myself to take things one day at a time. And go through the "Thinspiration" folder on my computer a lot to help keep me going. Reading things like "think of your diet as a marriage; you can't cheat on it and expect things to be ok" or "even if it's not a great work out, it's still better than nothing". I'm also hoping I can kick things into overdrive and use Florida as motivation. Really, if I can just go like 10lbs lighter than I was last year, that'll be a victory for me. And that's actually pretty do-able in a healthy way.

Anywho, I'm just gonna go back to hating myself and trying not to binge on everything in sight. Later taters.

I'm giving this the old college try. I'm on day 2.

Tue. July 30

Story time! Gather 'round, children.

K, so you know how I started my last entry saying I thought I was gonna throw up? Well, I did. I'll save you all the yucky details, but I will say I don't think I've ever brought up so much in my life. I swear, every last ounce of anything in my stomach made an appearance. My best guess is that I got food poisoning from a plate of fish and chips from a restaurant I'll call Elsey's - Kay. lol. Anyway, thankfully it was a one and done kind of event, but it sorta messed up my Monday cuz I didn't want to work out too hard the next morning and risk messing up my stomach. However, that did give me time to make spinach ice cubes and turn (about) 6lbs of strawberries, 2 pints of blueberries, and a few bananas into like 4L+ of smoothie. So good. lol. And that brings us to today...

OMG, so much physical activity. I had work, walked home, walked to a local pool, swam, walked home, walked to the gym, worked out, walked home. I'm spent, but proud. Aaaaaand I was able to run at 5.8mph for 30 mins without stopping for a distance of 2.895 miles. : ) Go me!

And now, I'm lying in bed, typing this up, and trying to decide if I wanna go for a swim or a run before work tomorrow. If anything. Maybe I'll be too sore, but a swim would help with that. Hmm. Anyway, I'll see what I decide. Nighty night.

I can relate.

Sun. July 28

Except for the fact that I sorts feel like I'm gonna throw up, I'm in a pretty good mood right now.

So, I have a few pieces of good news to report...

- Firstly, I was finally able to run for a full 30 mins at 5.7mph. That was on Thursday. And then I was able to make it to the gym for a bit after work on Saturday and I did it again, but that time I was able to go from 5.8 to 6mph in the last 5 mins. And, honestly, if I hadn't been on a bit of a time crunch, I might've just continued on til I had gone a full 5K (approx. 3.1 miles). And that visit to the gym on Saturday meant that I went to the gym 5 times this week. : ) Also, I read a tip about picking a song and just doing squats for the whole duration. So, I did that today, as well as some crunches for another song duration and like 20 push ups just for fun. And some stretches. All in all, it took like 10 mins and is totally something I could/should do like every day.

- Strawberries and blueberries went on sale again. 3/$5. So, I picked up 6 thingies of strawberries and my dad picked up 3 pints of blueberries and said I could have 2. So, I'll be making a big batch of smoothies tomorrow. And a bunch of spinach ice cubes. Basically, you blend a bunch of spinach with a bit of water, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and then throw a couple into protein shakes or smoothies or whatever. I heard about that online and have wanted to try that for a while. I hope it works.

- And finally, I had a consult for laser eye surgery on Thursday. But it wasn't just for standard vision correction; it's because I have Keratoconus in my left eye. Feel free to Google it, but basically it means my cornea is thinning and distorting my vision pretty bad. I was diagnosed 5 years ago, but it's apparently gotten worse, so I decided to see if I was a candidate for having the surgery that would slow the progression and I found out that I am. I also found out that I'm starting to develop it in my right eye, but it's a much milder case. Anyway, now I just need to get the ball rolling and set a date for the surgery. I'm not too worried about it, but it's $2000/eye. At least I can claim it on my taxes.

Well, that's all for now. Really hoping to have another good week workout-wise and maybe even a little weight loss. Fingers crossed. : )

Tue. July 23

Had a pretty active day today, but more on that in a minute.

My weekend was garbage. I went swimming on Saturday, and that was it. Unfortunately, the overcrowding at Ribfest this weekend meant that the short trip I made on Thursday night was the only time I was able to go. </3 Otherwise, the 4 "proper" meals (see: lots of snacking) I had over Saturday and Sunday, 3 of them were various types of pizza. Ya, not good, and my digestive system was not happy with me either. But we move on...

So, I really wanted to try to "be good" for like a week and see if that would produce some decent results and then I could use that proof/motivation to continue eating well. So, I had stuff like a protein shake, toast, chicken salad, and stuff. I ended up having some chocolate covered almond, but not a lot. Now, I wasn't super up to date on what my weight is/was, but I think I dropped like 3lbs from a few days earlier. Not bad. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

As for workouts, I had yesterday and today off, so I had some decent time to get in a good workout. However, I tried to do my 30min run at 5.7mph and that did not happen. I ended up bouncing between 5.7 and 4.2. I gave it another shot today and ended up bouncing between 5.7 and 5.0. So, it's better, but it looks like this is where that 30min 5K time starts to get hard. I'm sure the pizza could've had something to do with it though. lol. Seriously though, it just felt like my heart couldn't take it, both times. Everything below the waist was fine (including my heel[s] cuz I had just bought insoles to deal with what I believe to be Plantar Fasciitis in my right heel), my lungs were alright-ish, but my heart just didn't seem like it could keep up. Maybe it just got lazy over the weekend. I also tried to do 15 mins on the stair climber today and could only complete 10 cuz I was feeling pretty exhausted and generally unwell. Anyway, on top of my workout, I went swimming in the evening and wore my heart rate monitor cuz I just found out I could. I only burned 395cals in an hour, but it's better than nothing.

And now, it's time for bed. I hope I have the determination to get in some time on the treadmill at home before work. *fingers crossed*

From Sat. Not great, but not too bad.

Wed. July 17

I don't really have any good news, but I don't have any bad new either.

My plan to go to the gym on Monday (since I had the day off) kinda fell through. Long story short, I fell asleep and woke up for extended periods of time twice and was just super tired and slept til 1pm. I probably still coulda gone, but I don't like being rushed in situations like that. So, I decided to clean the weights my friend gave me instead. I didn't know how many of each denomination I had, but after getting them all clean, I know that I have eight 2.5lbs, eight 5lbs, and ten 10lbs. I also have 3 short barbells and on long one. I still need to find out how much the long one weighs. But, anyway, I was able to go swimming, so I guess that's good.

And then yesterday, I could've used my treadmill before work, but again, I was just really tired and I had to do laundry and clean my room a bit. I did get to the gym after work though. I thought I'd try running at 5.6mph and see how long I could keep it up for. Well, looks like I was able to do it for the whole 30 mins and ran 2.79 miles in that time. : ) I feel like if I can just run 0.1mph quicker every week or so, I can totally run 5K in less than 30 mins in October. I really hope so.

That brings me to today. I woke up late again and was kinda thinking I'd just skip the gym again, but I don't have work til 8pm and I figured going and just doing a little something would be better than nothing. I also decided I could go to WalMart afterwards to pick up bananas and a few BDay gifts for my nephew. I used the stair climber for 30 mins as opposed to running and ended up staying at the gym for over an hour. And I'm considering just going for a leisurely jog around my complex after work, depending on how I'm feeling.

I guess that's it for now. Gonna go have a snack and get ready for work. Laterz.

Sat. July 13

I feel like I always have such good ideas on things to talk about, but I either draw a blank when it comes time to type or I just dunno how to start my thoughts.

Anyway. I feel like sometimes I'm bring really good with my food and other times, pretty bad. And this is in the same day. For example, today, breakfast was Corn Flakes with Splenda. Not bad. Lunch was cucumbers, grapes, and a homemade fruit smoothie. Really good. Dinner was steak and baked potato. Not too terrible. And then I've just been eating gummies and chocolate all night. So bad. And pretty much every day seems to be the same thing. I really dunno when I'm gonna get it together. I see friends and people on tumblr losing weight and looking good and I haven't had any decent results to share in months. Where's the drive that helped me lose 30lbs a few years ago? I'm already half way through my 20's and I'm gonna start popping babies out when I'm 30, so that only leaves me a few years to get and stay in shape before it's all gonna go to hell again. Ugh, why does bad food have to taste so good? Oh, and twice now I've heard that "if fat loss is your main goal, try to avoid fruits cuz they're high in sugar." But then all these fitblrs say that's crap; it's natural sugar and it's fine to eat. But really, I'm sure my fruit consumption is not the problem. It's definitely all the junk food.

Also, I keep meaning to a few exercises on my "rest days" or just days I can't make it to the gym. Like, just a bunch of squats and push ups and maybe some crunches to keep my fitness momentum going and so I don't go for days without working certain muscle groups. I also can't decide if I wanna have a set number to do or try to do more and more everyday. Whatever, I'll figure it out.
And lastly, I traded scales with my friend, but at one point, I had 3 scales in my house and decided to weight myself on each within seconds of each other to see how different the results would be. And they were...

House scale : Original weight
Friend's scale : 1st attempt - 0.6lbs less, 2ns attempt - same as original
My scale : Original plus 1.4lbs

Not a huge difference, but still something to consider.

Well, bedtime for me. I've got a lot of inactivity to get to tomorrow. But I have a bunch of time to be active this week. Really wanna beat my running PR of 2.74miles in 30 mins.

Wed. July 10

It's been a crazy few days.

For those of you who don't know, my hometown (Mississauga, Ontario) and the surrounding area was hit with a pretty large torrential downpour and lightning storm on Monday. 80% of my town ended up without power and lots of people had flooding in their basements. My house did lose power, but no flooding. However, one of my friends wasn't so lucky. His basement had a few inches of water throughout and he lives in the basement, along with his 2 computers, a few guitars, and a bunch of other stuff. We got what we could off the floor, but couldn't do too much clean up til the power came back,

It came back like 3 hours later and then we got to work. We cleaned up and tried to get rid of water for like 3+ hours before we had to call it a night. I helped a bit more yesterday after work and a lot more today cuz I had the day off. Crazy ass stuff. On the plus side, his mom decided to use this opportunity to purge a bunch of old stuff from the basement, so I ended up with a set of weights, a dozen mugs that match my family's current dishes, some other glassware, a few bottles of booze, and some knitted baby clothes. Score. : )

Anyway, due to the craziness, I haven't really been to the gym or been doing so great with eating, but I feel that moving damp carpets, heavy boxes, and old paint cans is probably a decent workout. And I'll be getting back into the swing of things tomorrow. And I'll be making more smoothies too. Can't wait! Oh, and my friend with the body fat percentage scale has decided to trade scales with me. It's a long story, but I didn't even bring up the idea, so I'm happy about that too. Hopefully this'll mean good things for me. : ) 

Sun. July 7

I was going through some old pics last night and got a little inspired to make a positive post.

So, the pic that started this was taken in June '12 and it was of all the weight I could lift on the Hip Adductor(sp?) machine. It was 190lbs. I can now do 265lbs, or maybe a little more, if I'm feeling up to it. I also remember when I couldn't even bench 65lbs when I started and now I'm doing 145lbs. I'm also still fairly proud of doing my first 5K in 31m30s last October and I'm really working on breaking that PR (personal record) this coming October.

I joined my current gym in mid-January '12. Unfortunately, I can't remember how much I weighed at the time, but I'd like to think I'm down a bit since I started. I know I've fluctuated... well, more than a bit, but honestly, except for the obviously high percentage of fat, I feel like I'm a pretty fit person. Like, to look at me, I doubt people would assume I'm strong or have a pretty decent cardio tolerance. Could you imagine if I actually stopped eating crap? I know several years ago, I was able to get down to like 25lbs less than what I am right now. And that was without even trying. So, I know it's possible. Now I just need to discipline to eat well and get it done. I wish I had been keeping a journal then to see exactly what I was doing. Oh well.

Ok, I think that's all for now. Maybe next time I'll have some results to report.

So much smoothie. Mixture of bananas and straw, rasp, and blueberries.

Thu. July 4

Ugh. Once again I'm drawing a blank on what to say. I guess I'll just do the standard update.

My workouts have been fairly good. Most recently, I was able to run 2.7 miles in 30mins at a speed of about 5.4mph. Unfortunately, one of my lifting gloves has gone missing. I tore my room apart looking for it, but no luck. I'll give it one more good look before I may have to bite the bullet and buy another pair.

Food has been alright-ish. I bought some strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries not too long ago and have turned them (and a couple bananas) into smoothies for the last couple days. It's made me remember how much I liked smoothies last summer. Maybe I'll start experimenting with adding veggies and make that my thing this summer. Just gotta hope for decent sales on fruit, cuz that shit's expensive. lol

Also, I was gonna give the 21 day no junk food challenge a try, but I don't even think I made it through a day. One of the things you can't have is cake, but I came home on Tuesday and there was a piece of cake leftover from Canada Day. Now, I could've said no and given it to someone else, but in my mind, that piece was MINE and I sure as hell wasn't gonna let anyone else have what's mine. Not that I can't share or anything, but everyone's got issues. I think this was a mixture of my food and possessions/trust issues. Whatever, anyway, I ate it. Too late to take it back now and it was delicious.

So, ya, that's it. Sorry it was the same old boring crap. Oh, actually, I just remembered a tried on a pair of shorts that I could just BARELY get away with wearing (as long as I wore a baggy shirt to hide my muffin top) and it was a little looser in the thighs and I think there was less muffin top. I guess that's something. Ok, guess I made a bit of a liar out of myself. lol

Laterz

Thu. June 27

I feel like I should post a blog entry, but I sorta feel like I don't have much to say.

K, so, food consumption is still kinda meh, but I feel like I'm eating slightly better food. More fruits and whatnot. Exercise is alright too. I didn't go to the gym on Monday or Tuesday, but I went yesterday and tonight. And I went swimming yesterday too. Really gonna try to get a little more exercise after work tomorrow and on Saturday. And be active over the long weekend. Also gonna try to eat well over the weekend too, but we all know how my track record is with that. I swear I'll try though. lol

Apart from that, I feel like tonight's workout was good. Reeeeeeeally wanted to stop to walk during my 30 minute run, but I pushed through. I seemed to be more flexible than usual, I got my heart rate up to 176bpm (at one point) during my squats, and I had a little extra energy to get on the stair climber for 10 mins. All in all, burned 891 cals in 1h22m. More than I expected to.

Alrighty, I think that's all for now. TTFN.

PS - I went to see my doctor yesterday and she complimented me on my noticeable muscles. : )

Mmmmmmmmm...

 

Thu. June 20

I can't really say that I have good news to report, but I also don't have bad news. Just news.

Firstly, I've decided to see how long I can go for without chocolate. Like, anything that contains chocolate. I'm still on the fence as to whether I want this to include chocolate milk as well, but I don't drink a lot of chocolate milk as it is. Now, this isn't going to be like the pop thing where I (potentially) never touch the stuff again. Like I've said in the past, I'm a girl and that's just not going to happen. lol. But I'll give it the old college try and the last 24 hours have been successful so far.
Secondly, I ate fairly well today. Obviously, there's room for improvement, but I had a bunch of fruits and good stuff and really have no major issues with anything I ate. Now, if only everyday could be like this. lol

And lastly, I had 1000 cal burning work out last night, but I was pretty worn out tonight, so I just opted to do only one cardio session and then all my usual weight machines. I'll make a long story short and just say that the mind games I usually play with myself to distract me while on the treadmill didn't really work tonight and I didn't think I was going to be able to go any quicker than the 5.2mph that I started at. That also meant I wouldn't be running any further than last time. Buuuuut, somehow, I was able to just keep pushing through and slowly getting faster and I finished at 5.6mph and ended up running 2.65 miles in 30mins. Sweet. Now the only issue is having to eventually go further in the same amount of time. Blah. Well, gotta strive for something.

Well, the goal for this weekend is to actually eat well/properly for once, go swimming both days, and.... that's pretty much it. Wish me luck.  : )

Wed. June 19

Feeling really blah right now. Both physically and motivationally.

I hadn't weighed myself in a bit, but I figured I was probably doing alright. So, I weighed myself yesterday and NOPE. I've put on at least a few pounds. Now, maybe some of that was a little water weight or whatever, but that fact that I couldn't even maintain my weight for like a week is pretty shitty. On top of that, this morning for breakfast, I had ribs, rice with soya sauce, and a bunch of chocolate. : /

Why can't weight loss be 20% eating and 80% working out? I'd be in such good shape by now. I just... I can't even put it into words. I'm so pissed off at myself, at science, at facts, at my ability to lose weight cuz of my gender. Some days, I really wish I had the discipline to be anorexic or I wasn't so terrified of throwing up and then I could be bulimic. It's so much easier to recover from those than it is to lose weight when you're already fat.

*bangs head on wall*

Anyway, I've already gone swimming twice this week, so I've made decent use of my splash pass. I went to the gym on Monday (ran 2.61 miles in 30 mins) and skipped last night, but I'll be going tonight and tomorrow. Just gonna try to get back on track with my eating. I've been meaning to make a list of healthy, low-cal meals from me to choose from to make meal planning easier. Maybe I'll make that a priority on the weekend. So, ya. Gonna go get ready for work now.
 
Bye

Dare to dream.

Tue. June 11

So many things I wanted to say earlier and now I'm sort of drawing a blank.

Ok, I'll talk about my workout from yesterday, but keep it sorta brief. I was able to run at about the same speed and time and all that, but I think I got like 0.015 miles further than last time, so I guess that's something. lol. There was like 2 or 3 times that I sorta felt a little like throwing up. I know people say it's not such a big deal if you do, and whatever and I know I would've had time to get to a garbage bin and I wouldn't even be embarrassed, I just HATE the feeling of wanting to throw up and actually throwing up. I know no one likes it, but to me, it feels like a phobia. Also, the feeling of having no control and just heaving and not knowing when it'll stop and trying to catch my breath between heaves, it just sucks. But ya, I was able to keep my stomach under control, but I was mentally feeling kind of out of it. Like, I was doing stuff I wasn't used to and my sweat kept making my vision blurry for almost the whole work out. I still burned a shit ton of cals though, so I guess I can't complain.

Ok, so one thing I have been thinking about is maybe starting to buy my lunches at work again. I know it's better to bring healthy stuff instead of eating fast food, but sometimes the healthier stuff isn't that cheap. I did the math and I can get a 350 cal burger for $1.09 with my discount. I realize there's a bunch of pros and cons to this, but the value is fairly decent. Compare that to an entire container of yogurt (227cals) for $1.99 on sale (normally $2.97). I do realize that there is stuff I can buy and bring with me that is both cheap and healthy, but I might try this for a week see how it goes. On the other hand, since my restaurant has been open 24 hours for the past week or so, I haven't had any McD's at all since I can't take home the leftovers when we close. I'm not like "addicted" to the food, so this isn't a big deal. It's just another thing to be considered. lol

Anyway, just chilling out right now before I head to the gym in a bit. Tata

If this is real, it could be a game changer.

Sun. June 9

Another entry where I don't really know how to start it.

I guess I'll start with a Ke$ha report. I don't wanna complain cuz I do really like her, but the whole meet and greet was a bit of a let down. Without going into detail too much, there was something missing from the SWAG bag that we were promised would be delivered to everyone's houses (I'll give it a few days and then try to contact someone), the food at the party was lack luster (chips and condiments and mini pitas with shitty humus), I was probably got to meet her for like 30 seconds, tops and it was chilly as balls (but I guess that's not really anyone's fault). Oh, and she was the 2nd last performer; Pitbull was the first. So, on the plus side, that meant I could leave earlier. I didn't end up going to the gym that night. I was tired and cold and just spent my time cleaning my room and then went to bed.

I was able to run for 30 mins straight starting at 5mph and ending at 5.2. Can't complain about that, but my eating is still pretty bad. I have a lot of yogurt to get through before it goes bad next month, so maybe I'll do a yogurt day sometime next week.

Um... ya.. that's all I've got to say right now. The weight loss pressure is kind of off, but I'm still gonna try really hard to make it to the gym as much as possible next week. Perhaps I've started a habit?

Ke$ha and me : )

Sun. June 2

Probably should've updated days ago, but I'm lazy. Sue me. lol

Ok, so, my Wed and Thu night workouts were both over 1h45m long. I burned over 1000 cals both night as well. And did 30 mins of running and stairclimbing each both nights. Pretty proud of that. On top, I was able to push myself to do 30 mins of running before work on Friday. It was at a slightly slower pace, but still. Oh, and this happened too... (I'll just copy/paste what I wrote on FB as opposed to typing it out again, lol)

"So, me and a guy at the gym decide to share the bench pressing bench/equipment. He goes first. Puts two 25lb weights on 45lb barbell and does his set. He gets up and starts removing the 25's for me and I say "no, no, leave them" and then ADD another 25lb weight to EACH side. The look on his face. Ha!"

Anyway, like usual, I'm being pretty inactive this weekend. I picked up some apple sauce and cucumbers to add to my big collection of yogurt for meals and snacks next week. And I picked up my "splash pass" so I can go swimming a lot this summer. :)

So, the week at a glance will be interesting. Really gonna try to buckle down and get some good results. My work schedule looks like it'll allow for 4 days at the gym, but I can probably stretch those into 1.5 or 2 hour sessions (not including the walks there and back). And then Ke$ha is on Wednesday. At this point, my goal for that is to not look bloated and disgusting, but I think I can pull it off. lol. Honestly, the only thing that's really depressing me about her show is that she's only gonna be performing 12 songs. :/ Hopefully the next time she comes, she'll have time to do more. *mumbles*stupid Pitbull*mumble*

Alrighty, I'm gonna see if I can bring myself to make a decent meal plan for next week, so I'm not just eating whatever and can keep an eye on my calories. Laterz.

From the last 3 Halloweens. Hoping to be a lot smaller this year.

Tue. May 28

Just another short entry.

I sorta feel like I've thrown in the towel when it comes to my weight. I'm not like giving up and eating everything in site, but I seem to be a little better at shrugging it off lately. Especially since I know there's basically no way in hell of me dropping basically 20lbs in a week. So, I've just been focusing on how I look and feel for the most part. I'm hoping things will kinda fall into place and eventually the numbers on the scale will what I want to see.

Had a good work out last night and tonight. Ran consistently for 30 mins both nights. Hoping to get to the gym tomorrow and Thursday and then try to get a 30 min run in before work. That'd be nice. Honestly, I just need to clean up my eating and I should start seeing better results.

Pic from last weekend. Feeling good and loving my shirt. :)

Fri. May 24

Not even sure what I want my opening line to be.

Ok, so, I haven't been eating great, I only got to the gym twice this week and I actually ended up with heartburn a couple times this week. That being said, I feel a little smaller. Some of my tighter clothing has been... well, not fitting fine, but noticeably less tight. I guess that really proves you can't go by the weight, you need to go by the inches. I've actually been considering only weighing myself on days when I'm feeling good physically. Not if I'm bloated or maybe had a bad binge the night before or if I'm really sore (and therefore retaining water) from the gym.

Anyway, next week I have a fairly busy work schedule, but I'll still be doing my best to work out as much as I can. Still gonna be working on my 5K endurance, lifting heavy and hoping to up my bench pressing weight soon. I've also JUST started watching The Biggest Loser from the very beginning. I'm on episode 4 of season 1 and so far, I think I can get into this. I'm still waiting for something super inspirational to jump out and bite me, but I do feel slightly more knowledgeable about weight loss and calories and all that good stuff.

Oh, and short story about yogurt being on sale this week. Was $1.99 instead of $1, but anything is better than full price. Went to my local grocery store and all they had was plain and vanilla. Barf. So, my dad offered to take me to the next closest store in that chain and see if they had more selection. They did, but only had 4 blueberry left, so I snatched those bad boys up. lol. I was really tempted to ask if they had more in the back, but we were on a bit of a time crunch, so I'll trying going back in a day or so to see if I can grab more.

Alrighty, that's all. Gonna get back to watching TBL now. : ) 

Basically

Wed. May 22

Gonna keep this short and sweet cuz I'm worn out.

I was finally able to (just barely) get into the next lower weight bracket that I was aiming for, but it didn't last long. The weekend wasn't good for me food-wise and that's kinda carried over into this week. I don't wanna say I've been binging (cuz I haven't really), I've just not been making good food choices for meals and snacks. So, I have put a little weight back on, but I'm trying to "pull up my socks" and really get my ass in gear. My Ke$ha meet and greet is in 2 weeks. At this point, I'd settle for just getting back into that lower weight bracket. At least I know I can do it now. That plateau felt like forever.

Anyway, I increased my squat weight by a little tonight and I did 26 mins of constant running at 4.6mph. Everything felt fine except for after a few mins, my lower left calf got really tight for some reason, but I pushed through and I'm glad I did. : )

K, that's it. Looks like yogurt is on sale at a local grocery store again. Huzzah! lol

Fri. May 17

God. Damn. -.-

Well, I've been eating pretty well and working out pretty consistently and what does my body do to repay me? Has me at a plateau for a few days and then goes up .2lbs this morning. Am I discouraged? Yes. Am I pissed and heartbroken? Yup. Did I say "F it" and have chicken fingers and poutine for breakfast? Mm hmm. Am I going to just give up for a while? Hell no. I continued with my decent eating today, I went for a run after work and now I'm just sitting, doing my nails, waiting to get sleepy and then paying for some results in the morning.

Um, I think that's all to report right now. My work schedule for next week only has me working 3 days, so I'll definitely be making it to the gym probably like 4 or 5 times. Oh, and starting to train for the breast cancer 5K in October. I started at 4.5mph for 20 mins, then 4.6mph for 21 mins, then 4.7mph for 22 mins and tonight I ran for 27 mins, but cuz it was outside, I dunno my speed. But I was consistent and actually probably could've gone for longer. : )

Ok, that really is it for now. I make no promises for the weekend, but I'll do my best. Laterz.

(Crap. Still not letting me upload pix)

Tue. May 14

Today has been going pretty well so far and it's times like these that leave me worried that I'm gonna mess it up.

I weighed myself this morning and it was the same number that my friend's scale said I was on Saturday, which is awesome. I then had a good breakfast and headed over to the gym, where I burned 1003 cals in 1h33m. I came home, cleaned up and put all my workout and food info into myfitnesspal and, so far, I'm still pretty well under my calorie intake allowance. I'm just worried that since I have the day off, I'm gonna eat a bunch of bad food and ruin all my progress. Obviously, I don't want that to happen, but it sometimes feels like I can't control myself.

Anyway, there's still another several hours til I go to bed. Just gonna try to still with chicken, yogurt and water tonight. And find something to keep me occupied; either cleaning my room or taking care of my nephew. Don't wish me luck, wish me will power. lol

Mon. May 13

I have both good and bad news to report.

I guess I'll start with the bad. I know I've put on a bit of weight, but I was too chicken to get on the scale today and find out exactly how much. I shouldn't be too surprised though; I ate pretty badly on Sunday. Waffles, nachos, honey roasted peanuts, etc. I also didn't do very well on Saturday and I had a bunch of chocolate today too. And my hockey team (Toronto) is now out of the playoffs. Not overly surprised by that, but we did come pretty damn close. There's always next year.

As for the good news, I DID have a pretty good weigh in on Saturday morning. My fat percentage was down a bit. And even though I felt pretty bloated, I was able to fit nicely into a pair of my jeans on Sunday. And yogurt went on sale FOR A DOLLAR and it was the fat free kind where an entire 650g container is only 227.5 cals. Wooooooo! I picked up 8 containers and I'll probably pick up a handful more before the sale finishes. lol. So, besides the chocolate today, I would actually consider my eating today pretty good. And the batteries for my heart rate monitor came and it looks like that was what the issue was, so I got to use it again today. : ) Um, I think that's just about everything, so I'll leave it at that.

My schedule this week allows for some pretty decent gym time. I went tonight after work even though I have tomorrow off and will most likely good then. I'm gonna try to keep in mind that it's better to go to the gym whenever possible cuz there's always potentially something that could throw a wrench in your plans and then you don't end up going at all. Did that make sense? I dunno. I'm sleepy. Ok, night.

(Can't upload a pic and I dunno why)

Wed. May 8

Finally got back to the gym tonight.

It felt good and the week off didn't seem to affect my strength all that much. I still wasn't able to use my heart rate monitor though. I hope the replacement batteries get here soon.

Anyway, it seems like one of the upsides to being sick is that for the first few days, I was more concerned with getting better rather than stuffing my face. After that, cuz my nose was kinda plugged up, I couldn't really taste much, so there was no point sitting around, eating sweets. I've also started keeping food and exercise diary through myfitnesspal.com. I find it's been fairly decent so far, but it's obviously not a super exact thing. I'll see how long I can keep it up for though.

Still not feeling 100% back to myself, but I'm getting there. And I'm definitely much better than I was last weekend.

Guess I'm a big slut. lol

Fri. May 3

I'm sick.

I knew it would be hard to stick to a diet on the weekend, but being sick is gonna make it that much harder. From what I can tell, it seems like the flu. I've got body aches all over, a minor headache, fatigue and, last I checked, a fever of 38.5 celsuis (101 F?). So, I've been taking a bunch of pain meds and resting as much as I can. I seem to be slightly better at the moment, but I dunno if that's cuz I'm actually getting better or the T3 I took earlier is finally working. I'll leave it at that for now so I don't overexert myself and get worse. At least I have decent timing; I don't have work again til Monday.

Kelly Osbourne after losing 70lbs. You go, girl.

Wed. May 1

That's it!

I'm using all of my will power and starting tomorrow, I'm starting the FatLoss4Idiots 11 day diet. The diet claims that you can lose about 9lbs in those 11 days and I've done it before and actually had some pretty decent results. Hopefully, 2 successful cycles of this eating regiment will have me down 15 or so lbs by month end. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna go into specifics cuz I had to pay to access the website with all the info and menu planner and stuff and it's not fair to the company or me to just give their secrets away. I will say that it doesn't present itself as a no or low carn diet, but there's only one day that you're allowed to have bread. It also has you eating certain things at certain times, but otherwise, it's actually fairly healthy in terms of portion sizes and the emphasis on fruit, veggies and lean meats. It probably doesn't bode well for me to start this right before a weekend, but I'm really gonna try my darnedest.

All that being said, I actually had a pretty good workout tonight after work. Felt good, lifted heavy, was pretty flexible. I also got in several sets of squats at work. lol. And I got an email saying my heart rate monitor batteries have shipped. Thank God.

Lastly, I can't wait to get a new tattoo, but I'm not really sure what yet, but I have a ton of ideas that need to get started.

That is all. Night night.

Gonna give this a try.
Fun fact: If you do all the squats listed here, you'll have done 5000 squats by month end.

Tue. April 30

Sleepy, but blogging.

Wouldn’t weight loss just be so much easier if someone could tell you exactly what to do for the exact results you wanted? I mean, obviously, eating proper portions of healthy food at proper times and being physically active is good for you, but I sometimes feel like there are too many variables. The human body is a weird and wonderful thing. What I’m getting at is I just wish there was some way to be exact about this whole process. Some days, I eat pretty well and work out and see little to no change. Other days, I don’t work out and indulge in a little chocolate before bed and I’m down like 2lbs. What the hell? I just need/want/would love to have some psychic fitness mind reader to say “eat this specific thing, do this specific work out and you will 150% surely see this specific result you want.” Obviously, this lack of knowing is not a big enough deterrent to actually make me say “F it” and give up; it would just be a lot easier to stick to if I knew it was gonna work. Le sigh.

In other news, my heart rate monitor has been giving me really in accurate readings. I finally hypothesized that maybe it’s cuz the battery is low, but it has no way of letting me know this. So, I ordered a new set of batteries for it and hopefully they’ll get here soon and will fix the problem.

Also, I sorta tried to do a partial “low cal” day. It turns out that an entire jar of (WalMart brand) unsweetened apple sauce is only 318 cals. Just throw in a bunch of cinnamon and you’re good to go. I only ate about half of it, as well as some cucumber slices and an orange at work today for dinner and snack. Here’s hoping for results. I had a thought about how to lower the cals on the yogurt I like. A whole 650mL container is like 700+ calories. Now, if I can find a plain yogurt, with very few cals, I can just combine the 2 and then divide the mixture in half and hopefully reduce the portion calories by like… maybe 300-ish? I dunno. This is something to be experimented with, but I’m hopefully. I just need yogurt to go on sale sometime soon. C’mon summer. lol

5 weeks til Ke$ha, 21lbs to lose.

My sexy new lifting gloves. lol

Sun. April 28

Some of the reasons why certain fitness/lifestyle changes won't work for me...

- The only way I'll eat salad is with caesar dressing. I mean, I get it on the side, but I don't do balsalmic vingarettes and all that disgusting shit, so that's never an option for dressing.
- I haven't had pop in over 2 years, so I can't "cut it out".
- Tea is nasty. I won't drink it and that's that.
- Greek yogurt is pretty nasty too. I've recently seen commercials for greek yogurt with blueberries, so I may give it a try, but otherwise, no.
- I don't do fish. VERY rarely, I'll have fish sticks or tuna or fish and chips. But that is a SUPER rare occurrence. So, salmon and other good fishy things are not going to happen.
- I also don't do quinoa, or kale, or melons, or cantaloupe, or pesto, or raw blueberries, or avocados, or lots of good fruits and veggies. I'm a fairly picky eater.
- I love meat, so vegetarians and vegans can go F themselves, cuz that's never gonna happen either.
- I rarely go out drinking, so I can't cut that back.
- And I don't drink coffee or any coffee based drinks, so no cutting back on that.
- I generally walk at least one way to work and I'm on my feet for several hours a day. It's not like I'm slacking off, sitting in a chair at a desk all day or anything.

I completely understand that I'm fair from perfect (both in my food choices and work out frequency), but just seems like whenever I found a list of "10 things to help you lose weight" or whatever, like at least half of them don't apply to me. It's just frustrating. I really wish weight loss was like 70% fitness and 30% food instead of vice versa.

Wed. April 24

Ok, so, this is the thing I wanted to talk about last night. Please note that I realize some of the things I'll mention are less than healthy, but I'm just "thinking" out loud.

So, I've noticed in the past several days my weight has crept up a bit. I'm not gonna pretend I have no idea why. I know I've been eating more than I should of "unhealthy" foods. It's the story of my life and it's a daily struggle. Recently though, I've been really putting more thought into... I don't even know what I would call this... low cal food days? Basically, they would be days every now and then where I would only eat a couple different types of food, but that's what I would eat for every meal. Like a day of only oatmeal low cal jello or cucumbers and yogurt or just granola bars. For example, the granola bars I eat are 110 cals each. 2000 cals (that should be eaten daily) divided my 110 is like 18 granola bars. So, on that day, I know my limit is like 18 or 19 granola bars and that's all I'll eat for that day. And the less bars I can eat, the fewer calories I'll have to burn. I know there are better ways to go about this, I just feel like I'm relapsing a little here and need a kick in the butt. Like, I'm one of those people who needs to see some initial results to get motivated. If I'm legit putting in the effort and seeing little to no results, that doesn't fly with me. I still have yet to have a day like this though mainly cuz my willpower sucks, but if I see another few pounds in the next week or so, I just might try one of my ideas.

In other news...
- I ordered a new digicam online and it should hopefully be here in several days
- I did about 40 squats at work (where no one could see me) cuz I was bored and it was kinda quiet
- I'm looking into buying some OTC sleep aids to use once in a while cuz I feel like my sleep schedule is getting a little outta hand
- I am anxiously awaiting a (most likely) $1500+ tax refund in the mail
- I can't wait for the weather to get better and for yogurt to go on sale sooooo bad
- Not sure if I mentioned this but the 5K I ran last year will be taking place on Oct 6 this year and I'm definitely going to be running it again, Hopefully I'll break my 31:30 time from last year.

K, that's it that's all. My right heel is feeling really tender, so I hope some sleep will make it feel better for the gym in the morning.

Tue. April 23

Why does this shit always happen to me? -.-

I won't go into a lot of detail; I'll just give you the gist. Went to see Kat Von D at Chapters, waited in line for 4 hours, did my make up and got a little dressed up, wrote her a nice fan letter while on line, got my chance to finally meet her, told her I'd seen her 4 times and I'd lost 25-30lbs since I last met her, she complimented me and said I looked good and we talked health and fitness for a few seconds, she signed me book, hugged me a few times, we took a pic and I went on my way. I checked the pic right after and the Chapter's employee had taken it landscape instead of portrait, but it still showed us from the waist up, so I could deal. But something didn't feel right, so I uploaded it to my laptop, looked at a bigger version of it and it's blurry. It's FUCKING blurry. I'm so pissed. I mean, you can make out who we are, but the pic is blurry and, somehow, we still both have visible red eye. Fuck my life. I completely understand that in the grand scheme of things, there are much worse things at could've happened, but this is heartbreaking and upsetting. And Lord knows when she'll be back in TO. So, this solidifies 2 decisions I'd been considering: I need (and will very soon purchase) and new digital camera and I'm getting a tattoo that says "Jinxed", cuz honestly, I'll feel like I am. If I end up with a blurry pic after spending $275 to see Ke$ha, I. Will. Be. Livid!

I do have something else I wanna talk about, but I feel like this'll just turn into a really long post and the 2nd topic isn't as important. Maybe I'll talk about it next time. I'll just research cameras before bed.

*bangs head against wall*

Me, in line, after doing my make up

When the pic is smaller, it doesn't seem so bad, but when it fills my laptop screen, it makes me want to crawl under my covers and sleep for a week. -.-

Sat. April 20

Well, I did it. At least, as much as I could cuz my heart rate monitor decided to be kind of a douchebag.

So, I was pretty tired fr most of the day and I don't really know why. Either way, I pulled through and completed "my plan" to the best of my ability. My HRM was giving me a little trouble during my work out and the concert by completely losing my rate and just showing 00, so I had to adjust it a few times and there are probably a handful of calories not accounted for. But anyway, this is how it broke down...

Walk to the gym - 208
Work out - 951 (I would guess there's probably about 25 cals unaccounted for here)
Walk home - 155
Walk/jog to the bus station - 71
Walk to the concert - 270
Concert - 483 (Again, several calories unaccounted for here)
Walk/jog back to the bus terminal - 304
Walk home - 54

2496. Woo! Not bad, all things considered. My feet were pretty sore after all of this, but no surprise there.

Anyway, I weighed myself using my friend's scale today and it said I was down about a pound, but I find his seems to be a little nicer to me and say that I'm lighter than my scale at home says. The difference isn't too much though, so it still gives me a good idea of my approximate weight. Not that I couldn't go a couple days without weighing myself, but it's nice to keep an eye on it. I will say though that today has been an I-want-to-eat-everything day. I want pizza, and pasta, and ice cream, and cake, and honey roasted peanuts, and chips, and chocolate, and gummies, and cheesy things. Oh God, I want everything. This is probably what eating fruits and veggies for lunch and dinners at work for 4 days does to me. Today, I've had chicken wings, poutine, chocolate chip cookies, peanuts, and mini pretzels. And the plan right now is to go to Boston Pizza for dinner. Gonna try to be good tomorrow, but I make no promises. That being said, I probably should be careful cuz I don't wanna eat a bunch of garbage tomorrow and then be gassy and bloated when I meet Kat Von D on Monday.

Alright, I think that's a long enough post for now. Later peeps. lol

PS - And no, I'm not in an eat everything mood cuz it's 420. I don't smoke pot. lol

Nov 24, 10 - The last time I saw KVD. Look, it's Kat Von D and Fat Von G. lol
