WIW: A day late

The scale arrives today...
welcome to WIW (scared, hold me….)
I can feel my soul ascending...
It’s funny—until I entered the fitblr community, I was the only person I knew who had auditioned for the Biggest Loser. When I auditioned 5 years ago, I was convinced I’d be the PERFECT contestant—funny, dynamic, fat and committed. As I stood in line with countless others, I was approached by prospective contestants who said, “I’d kill to be your size,”...

Cranking it Up
So today I did day 1 of my weight training—focusing on shoulders and arms and I have a terrible confession to make—I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. Form-wise, I’m fine since I’m using mainly machines. But really, the problem is that I haven’t been using enough weight. Well, today I did and I now understand what the big deal is. I’m going to...
For 37 years....
I did everything I could to seem delicate and pretty. Starting today I will do everything I can to be a beautiful badass mother f**er.

WIW: And I'm busted....
I have had doctor appointments every week so I have been tracking my weight loss through that. Today I went for my general physical and…wait for it…NO WEIGH IN! What what what? he did the prodding, the poking, the everything BUT, then he said, great job, keep it up, see you next year, I’ll call if there’s anything to report on your blood work. Here I was, so proud of...

– Nice—yes, all this exercise has brought me to a new level of nirvana. Watch me levitate as I do my rows.
A little from column A, a little from column B
Well, project Diva is ON TRACK!
I have been entirely too lax about this tumblr account. I need to vow to update daily so that I keep myself accountable. Even still, its been a good week. Caloric intake has been in-line and I have managed to exercise about 4 times (not as much as I’d like, but it has been a week of crizazy,including pulling a hospital all-nighter with a wonderful friend...

I was seriously considering posting something like this earlier today!
I’m 26.
26 in a few weeks. :)
34. Whippersnappers ;-)
Some days I feel like I’m riding my dinosaur to work in my wooden underwear!
Catharsis
This week, I’ve had a lot on my mind. I’ve wanted to post several times, but stopped myself.
On Friday, I ran 7 miles on the elliptical trainer. At the 20 minute mark, I started crying uncontrollably, thinking of all the people, starting in my childhood,and going even to my 20s—all those people who called me fat, ugly, even a fucking bitch. I let those people define me. I...
Wooty woot!
I went to the doctor today. I have officially lost 15 lbs and my blood pressure is 117/70. YAY!
Note to Self...
Dear, Diva:
Stop looking up other singers on youtube or management websites. Stop telling yourself you aren’t as good as they are and that you shouldn’t be a singer. You are different, your path is different and your voice is unique and needs to be heard. Stay in your own lane!
Love,
Diva
Question...
So do you all do planks every day?
Calorie Deficit for the Wrong Reasons
Well, part of accountability is reporting on the bad as well as the good. After my awesome New year run, I got sick and have still not returned to the gym. The illness has totally affected my eating patterns and I’m pretty sure I’ve reached at the most 1,000-1,200 calories a day. Not how I want to lose weight—AT ALL. I went to the hospital for some tests—all of which...

You win some, You barf some.
Happy New Year! Here’s to a fierce 2011 to come. It all started so well. On 1/1/11 a group of fabulous friends and I ran our own 5k. Ok, drumroll, please: I am pleased to announce my PR of 37 minutes at this race! Can you believe it? That is 2.5 minutes faster than my first race in October. I was so thrilled about it that I celebrated by barfing all night last night. Woo hoo. Sadly,...
