Biggest Loser Weigh in #2

Just an update...

Weighed in wednesday at 132.6

Which means I lost 3.4 lbs.

Doing nothing.

Seriously.

The closest thing to working out I did this weeked was drink my Cherry Vodka & Coke, Flip Cup, & Beer Pong. Sorry, all of my friends just graduated from college & they all had their parties this weekend. I will say, probably the best weekend I've had in town since I've moved back to town.

Back to biggest loser, it comes down to this...

That's 2.5% of my weight.

That means if you weighed 200 lbs you would have to lose over 5lbs to have beaten me this week.

Which really it is okay if they beat me this week because since todays my last day & I don't have another job yet I will be a very very poor college student that already hates to spend money on food so will probably just opt to starve rather than spend a precious dollar on a double cheeseburger. Also I will probably live at the gym since I will not be able to afford to do anything else.

That is until I win the biggest loser.

Valentines day was when?!

Wow...I'm more of a slacker than I thought. There is a TON of stuff I haven't posted including Valentines Day stuff! What?! Yeah...I know, it was forever ago. Who even cares at this point right? Well I wanted to put it up anyways because I had such a good time.

For the big VDay my little cousin Kirstyn was my date. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with me being completely single (like not even talking to any guys) and all the ones she knew were tools. So I took her out for Sushi & she was my Sushi valentine.

I got her seaweed salad because she said it was great. I'm not really a fan.

When they brought out the huge list we realized neither of us had ever actually ordered sushi.

So I just got what Heather got last time I came with her.

Kirstyn decided to disect her food and found out there were fish eggs in it. It's kinda gross considering I'm pretty sure she didn't wash her hands after the Bearpaw incident.

What's the Bearpaw incident you ask? Well before going to eat we went to the mall and at one point ducked into this little cheap shoe store. It was obvious none of the shoes were brand name, this was not Marshalls where you get brand name for less. I mean I didn't even have to look at the price they had cheap written all over them. Not that I have anything against cheap, I love cheap, I'm a poor college student , cheap is my best friend. But I will never be able to figure out why when Kirstyn saw a pear of Bearpaws (kind of like Uggs) ligit thought the store was selling them. As soon as she saw them she picked them up, stuck her hand in one & said 'OMG they sell Bearpaws here' to which the girl behind her replied 'Um...those are mine'.

Yes those are hers...like she's had her sweaty ass feet in them all day and my little cuz just stuck her hand in one & then proceeded to disect her raw fish.

Yummy.

:o)

Puerto Rico: Last night- Casino

The last night I was in Puerto Rico was pretty awesome. I was supposed to hang out with Chris since he lives what a 4 hour plane ride away buuutt....whatever he had to do before us possibly going out was taking too long so I left early to grab a bite to eat & wait for his call.

Across the street from my hotel was some Taco Maker/can't remember what it's called but had semi healthy food. The semi healthy food spot had a really good caesar salad wrap & after grabbing one of those I went next door to Starbucks (yes Starbucks right across the street, I wish I had Starbucks right across the street all the time) grabbed my usual & sat outside for probably 2 hours. Sounds a little intense but it wasn't bad. I ate a bit but since the weather is so nice (even though it was 9:30 at night) I ended up throwing most of it away. I don't eat much in the summer. I called Foreign Friend (cuz we were still friends at the time) & talked for a few about how much I love Puerto Rico & didn't want to come home. After getting off the phone the man the next table over who had been eavesdropping decided to strike up a conversation. We probably talked for about an hour about the island, the difference between the people from different areas, politics, all kinds of stuff. When Starbucks closed he gave me his card, he's an astrologer, I was supposed to email him with my Bday time & stuff so he could do the whole astrologer thing but I'm not sure what I did with the card.

Anyways since I hadn't gotten a call I headed back to the hotel to use my gambling coupons in the Casino. The casino in our hotel on a Monday night was perfect. It's not too big so you don't get overwhelmed and it wasn't really packed. While losing a bit at blackjack I met a kid from Boston named Senan. Since blackjack wasn't doing us any good he took me over and taught me how to play craps. Not that I really remember. I just copied him except when he doubled down I didn't because I'm too much of a chicken. He lost money...I ended up walking out $100 richer. Which just adds to my winning streak because I have never officially lost at a casino. True Story.

After I quit while I was ahead we went for a walk down the side of San Juan I hadn't ventured onto yet and being that it was about 130am nothing was open except casinos so we decided to walk the beach back to where we were staying. This is when I learned that all the people saying the beaches in PR are rocky weren't kidding. Being that I was wearing heals I walked back barefoot and that kind of sucked. Then wouldn't u know it, the only time it really rained while I was there was right in that moment.

So to sum things up...last night in PR=Sore feet & Drenched/1 Benjamin in my pocket...kind of evens itself out.

Puerto Rico: Bioluminecent Bay

During my stay in Puerto Rico my mother and I went on a trip to Vieques to see the Bioluminescent Bay. Probably one of the coolest natural thing I've seen.

Basically the Bioluminescent Bay is cool because it is filled with these half-animal, half-plant organisms that emit a flash of green light when agitated at night. Basically you move the water, they light up. Technically they are called bioluminescent dinoflagelletes and there are about 720,000 of them in the bay we went to. I hate that I couldn't take any pictures because it has to be really dark so you can see them well and it's hard to really get them on camera. Non of my attempts worked. Here's one from a professional.

It looks more blue in the picture but I remember them being green. The trip we went on lets you get in the water and swim with them & most places don't let you. My favorite part was dipping my hands in & out of the water because you could see each little bead of light dripping down your arm. Seriously if you ever get the chance check it out, but if it's something you're definitely planning on doing check out a moon calendar first because they don't go out for about a week coming up to a full moon.

The biggest loser

So just a quick update on my latest endeavors.

Monday I put in my 2 weeks at my job. I am going to be pursuing school full time...really trying to lock it up and get it done...starting with summer classes. 

I have also...and now many of you aren't going to believe this...signed up for the biggest loser at my local gym.

No I do not think I'm fat. You win money and that's really all the motivation I need. 

When I saw the ad the man next to me said he didn't think I could lose enough weight to win & I agreed until I found out they were doing it by percentage which makes it fair and gives me a chance. Also in the 2 years I dated dbag Dave I gained approx. 20 pounds from eating pizza, wings, and Micky-D's everyday. I figure it won't hurt to lose a little of that and make a few bucks while I'm at it! :)

So anyways it started today and in preparation I ate as much as I possibly could so I could weigh as much as possible. Margaux made me pulled pork. It was amazing and I gained approx. a pound and a half just from eating that. 

I weighed in at 136 and will keep you posted. :)

Just fire her ass...

Just got done watching The Hills...I know it's ridiculous but seriously if it was real & I was Lauren as soon as I walked out of the meeting I would have been like 'your fired'. That's it. No I'm sorrys, no crying like there will be on next weeks episode, just your fired get out, thanks for making me look like an ass. 

If I were to get some kicks just for cinco de mayo...

It would definitely be these...

I love me some Nike vandal lows and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the red & green combo (too christmas-y) I might think of gettin myself a pair.

Nike SB Ms. Pacman..

I need these in my life.

For many of you they are probably too over the top but for me...perfect. They are the nike sb ms. packmans & would look perfect in my closet and on my feet.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine & others

Saturday night I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and LOVED it. The action scenes were good and not overdone as they tend to do sometimes in movies like that.

Agent Zero was awesome in the begining. I loved his first shooting scene but after that there wasn't anything too incredibly special about him.

Deadpool was on track to be my favorite/school-girl crush of the film but they screwed that all up at the end. No, I do not like the way they went with Deadpool. From what I've heard this is waayyy against the comics. He's not supposed to die and I was really hoping they would have him break the 4th wall a.k.a talk to the audience, like he does in the comics. Apparently they had a scene after the credits in the first version where they show his hand grabbing his head & the head turning toward the audience saying "shhh...", this would have made my day but I guess instead they used one with Wolverine in it. I didn't see it, I never stay that long.

Gambit, who I guess has been wanted for years by fanboys, is probably my favorite from this movie. No I can't pick Wolverine, everybody loves Wolverine. I heard through the grapevine that a some people thought they over did it with his powers/mutation. I don't know what they say of him in the comics and I don't really care-in the movie Gambit was the man.

I also thought it was pretty cool how they did the White Queen's diamond skin. She didn't play much of a part in the movie but effect wise the skin was cool as hell.

My Aunt who is more of a "Wolverine" fan then an actual X-men fan, if you know what I mean (she didn't exactly hate the naked waterfall jump), was appalled to hear I hadn't really seen the other 3, so when we got home on Sunday we had an X-Men marathon to catch me up.

#1 was wonderful- I love Iceman...even though he doesn't really do anything in the first one. Yeah he'd be my little school girl crush through all 3 but in #2 I kinda like nightcrawler better.

Yes, I know weird huh?, nightcrawler over Iceman no way!...Yes way...I'm such a personality person sometimes & I love his!

But in the 3rd I return to Iceman cuz I'm not sure why but they don't include nightcrawler at all...Laaaaamme!

Anywhoodles...the 3rd didn't quite do it for me like the others did, including the new one...and I can see why comic fans may not like it at all.

To finish it off I would just like to say this...Marvel vs. DC...Marvel all the way!! X-Men is way cooler than Superman! I do like Batmen but X-men...still cooler.

What do you think...Marvel or DC??

Also...Who's your favorite of your favorite? or your favorite from each?

The first blog I subscribed to...

belongs to this beautiful couple

Their blog is called Rockstar Diaries and I love reading about their little adventures. It's refreshing to read about a couple that are obviously still so in love. They haven't been married long but with marriage these days you never know. Their blog starts from when they got married and I've read just about every post. They were kind of my inspiration.
