I think my turnout is getting a little bits better.
And last night at the commissary I SO wanted to practice grand battements off of my *very heavy* cart, but not only would I have been knocking people out left and right because it was so crowded, I think I would have also gotten shitload of wierd looks from people. :D
Annnnnnnnnnnnd....
did anyone else notice how much aircommercial-time "Dancing with the Stars" got during the Super-bowl?! WHEE!!!

Good thing: First day on skis of the season was yesterday.
Bad thing: Can't even stretch my feet out into a tendu without screaming in pain. So I think anything ballet related will have to wait until I can walk and stretch without moaning, and until the bruises from my boots heal up.
I ws going to take pics of me in ski wear doing ballet stuff, but I forgot the camera in my purse, so thats for next time!

I got the AWESOMEST magenta pink tutu from my bf's parents!!! Its super awesome, with a fluffy pink tulle skirt, a tiny overskirt with rhinestones on it, and an attached bodice of magenta pink satin, a nude panel, and GORGOEUS sparkly rhinestones on the bodice. It looks fabby on me, and when I get my camera back I'll take pics of me in it! (which is gonna have to wait until NEXT weekend because I left my camera at my bs house, D'oh!!!)
AND they got me two pairs of cotton legwarmers, one light pink and another black pair. Over-the-knee, which rocks!
SO HAPPY!!!

Woo! My bf's parents got me the coolest ornament, its a pewter pair of ballet shoes with a small pink sparkly stone on them at the top. Tres cool, very spiffy! I'll have to post a pic of it later!
Maybe tonight and tomorrow I can definently do some omg, tendus and releves and stuff and stretch. Ooh, mmmm would be good!
Hahaha maybe my NYR would be to actually do ballet stuff EVERY night until may. Like see if I can stick with it really good. If I actually got myself exercising a bit every day I think anything is possible now, LOL!

So I'm getting mildly attacked in another community. Its fun, and would be more-so fun if the person who was attacking me would actually read my journal, do a little math in her head, and just in general would stop over-analyzing everything.
Other than that annoyance, I'm doing good. Work...work has been insane, christmas season and all that. One day I pulled a 7 hour workday in the morning and then did christmas shopping that night. I gave in to a frozen dinner for dinner because I just couldn't stay awake enough to cook. Right now, where I'm trying to eat healthy, it was "oh god! the preservatives in that!" but I can deal. It was soo good too, Marie Calander makes the best noodly dish, whichever one it was that I ate. lol. My eating schedule this week got totally fucked up. I've been running on pure adrenaline this week just to keep moving. Hopefully next week will be less crazy and I can go back to having normal eating habits. Including salad, mmm salad.
And due to this crazy week, I'm now at my goal. I think I'm down to 115. And I look really good at this weight, now time to tone tone tone TONE up. Because my stomach is more toned up than I think its ever been, my posture has totally improved too, which is awesome! I gotta stay on top of exercising in the morning, otherwise it'll all slip away. After I get the abs and my legs and thighs and butt to look nice, then I'm gonna work on my arms. HAHAHAHAHA, I have NO upper body strength, its so sad. That should be fun. For my legs though, luckily with all the running up and down stairs I do at work, I'm getting a decent workout each day. Cardio even, hahahaa.
I really wish I could stretch out at work, hahahaha, wouldn't THAT be funny, but I think the managers would disapprove of me doing ballet barre work at the bar. LOL. :D I so miss doing ballet barre at night while watching CSI or whatnot. :( Gonna start to have to fit it in somehow when my schedule reorients itself. This week was crazy. Hopefully next week not as crazy.

I went from a slighlty hurting back to I sprained my right side of my back and EVERYTHING hurts horribly, and I can't move all that well.
This sucks.
I need to heal fast because A) I have work tomorrow and all week long. B) I can't deal with it and C) HOW CAN I EXERCISE AND DO BALLET BARRE WORK IF I CAN'T EFFIN MOVE?!?!?!!
*grr*

Woot! I only just now realized that all free LJ accts have been upgraded to 6 userpics instead of 3. How sweet is that!
And I've been so dying to use some of my MANY ballet icons I've created over the last few months!
On a diff note, I have eaten SO much today its not even funny. But I don't care because it felt so good. I hafta give in to that hibernation hunger a few times in the winter, just to stay sane.
And work got cancelled tonight so I get to do ballet barre work downstairs while watching tv! I better hop to it!! :D

I pulled muscles in my back from doing a specific set of crunches wrong. And it hurts. Whenever I move. And it sucks.
So I'll go back to doing crunches the way I learned them and let my back heal up a bit.
But on a good note, I did 300 of them today, 200 with no stopping! go me!
I would kill to do some ballet barre work tonight but I doubt its gonna happen after work. :-\
I SO miss ballet classes, its nuts. Everyone is all wooo! about their nutcracker performances and honestly, I couldn't care less, I would kill just to be back in normal classes. Performing shmorming, its barre work for me! :D

They had okay-ish food at the holiday party, but what I did have was pretty good. I ended up with some salad and some bow-tie pasta, and a tiny bit of meat. I didn't mean to eat so little, it just happened that way. Hopefully all the alochol I drank won't add up to too much calorie wise. :P
So this all means that I REALLY need to remember to eat a sandwhich or two before work because at this point I haven't eaten much of anything since two days ago. Oops.
Absolutely nothing ballet-related yet, because I just haven't had TIME to do much of squat towards barre exercises or anything. But I'm still a ballerina, if only deep inside :D

Alllll weekend long I was so so so so so so so so so SO good about what I ate. All healthy food, all decent healthy amounts.
And then go to Narnia and have the popcorn bag in my lap and WHAT do I do? EAT IT. ALLLLLLL OF ITTTTTT. It was like I couldn't stop. *smacks head with heel of hand* argh. Who knows where all thats gonna manifest itself, darnit! *laughs at self!*
Gonna have to be twice as good about when and what I eat this week, ESPECIALLY with that holiday party at my work tonight (free food and drinks) I heard a show tidbit from one of the trainers from "biggest loser" that a good holiday move to make is to eat a smallish meal BEFORE going to the parties so that you aren't tempted by all the food there.

*does the happy chair dance*
I'm holding steady at 117, I'm holding steady at 117, I'm holding steady at 117!
*continues the happy chair dance*
I'm doing like 250+ crunches (different types of) every day/night, but the pudgy stomach area is still driving me wild. Its getting smaller sometimes, but othertimes its more noticeable! argh! The top area of the abs is pretty solid and flat, and so is the bottom area, but WHAT will work out the middle area of the abs more?
I want a good strong and taunt core, and I'm SO close to my goal. :D

I just have to write this entry.
Ok, so, because I butchered my knee and thigh muscles at work the previous night, I spent a half hour that night streeeetching the muscles out, wore my thigh high legwarmers to bed to keep the muscles warm, and then woke up and streeeeetched some more. I decided that in the interest in being able to move without screaming, that the legwarmers would stay on for work.
And they did a lovely job! No problems, and only a tiny bit of pain. And after work they were already stretching out rather nicely, and I didn't have any problems by evening! Fantastic!!
All hail the legwarmer! That does a fabulous job even outside of ballet! :D

Well, last night was the first night at my new job, hostessing at a cute little irish pub in my town.
And I wore 3 inch heeled boots, they are more normal work boots, the ones I've been wearing EVERYWHERE For the past year and half. SO. I don't get the reaction I got.
Like the muscles right above my knee, say from my knee to three inches up, that whole bit, just completely bunched up and got insanely tight. It was so bad that by the end of the night I couldn't bend from the knees at all, I though it was gonna rip.
WTF.
It took me about a half hour of stretching with my legwarmers on (mmm legwarmers!) for the muscles to sloooowly stretch out. And I went to bed with the legwarmers on to keep those muscles warmed up and hopefully to loosen them up. Which worked rather well, but they are still sore and hurtful this morning!
GAH! Makes plies really hard and painful to do! Not cool!!!

I've been trying to stretch more because I need flexibility badly, and also to keep my muscles from bulking up.
And tonight I did a lot of stretching of my legs, whole lots, and it felt so good!
Thats all I wanted to say, that stretching, for the first time, really felt awesome!

Ok, woo new pics of me! I am SO happy with how I look compared to how I looked this time last year, when I first started putting on the "winter weight", plus I am WAY toner than I've been for a few years. Always thin but never in shape, until now ;)
( pics! )

My tummy is gettting smaller and tighter and less fatty! YES!!! All those ab crunches and body crunches and pelvis lifts are working! WOO!!!
Soon I will look hawt and small in my leotard and then I wont feel like a fricking heifer (even though I'm really not) in my leotard. Especially compared to the little tiny thin 11 year olds. At 24 you really shouldn't compare yourself weight wise to an 11 year old but in class with them a few days out of the week, standing there with your gut hanging out of your leo, its impossible NOT to. So I won't be there anymore. I won't be fat for classes, and I won't be out of shape. HA.
I WILL NOT GAIN THE WINTER WEIGHT.
I WILL NOT DO IT.
Thats my goal.
:D
