Cort's diary

Yes, six cats...and two litter boxes. It gets stinky really fast. Speaking of, I'm supposed to clean them today. Bleh. We were thinking about investing in one of those automatic litter box cleaning thingits...but with our cats, it'd probably malfunction because it'd be working about every 10 minutes *laughs* Well, not really....man it'd be nice to have on of those.

I love cats...they're my favourite animals...Tigers especially (I adore tigers...*swoon*), they're just so majestic and gorgeous....and so incredibly swoon worthy.

Have you ever seen the musical, Cats? But Andrew Lloyd Webber? That's such a great musical. It's so funny because the personalities of all of the differant cats are so realistic! We constantly compare the movie to our own cats, and it's really amazing. We have a Victora, and a Mongojerry and Rumpleteaser, and a Macavity, and so on. It's really quite fun :D
 
Go get em girl! I have one cat and one litter box. 2 dogs though.

Billy smiling------thats why I can't work out with denise austin!

LOL ...... DO NOT get one of those liter mate things. They cost like $150-$200 and are totally NOT worth it! I used to work at Pestsmart and I cant even count how many were returned.. Phils mom had one and she said it would just keep sifting and there would be poop all over the floor. Anyway, its cheaper to do it yourself. Just get another ordinary box or 2 and you should be good to go.
Also, Arm and Hammer cat liter is the BEST! and the Arm and Hammer liter box deoderizer. It may be costly but its worth not smelling cat pee!
 
Wow...okay then! *sighs* I knew it was too good to be true.

Oh! and to help me track what I eat everyday, I joined FitDay.com...and wow! I logged all that I (remember) eating today, and I havn't eaten NEARLY as much as I thought I had. Like...800 some odd calories. And it's almost nine so I don't want to eat anything. Wow...and all along I thought I was binging....

Wow.

And with my work out, I burned 560 calories. And it says I've actually burned over 2000 calories because of 'Basal' and the life style I chose.

From what I understand, basal is BMR...so I'm guessing that's how much I burn just by existing.

It's really a neat site! I'm really psyched, now!
 
I've been doing awesome today! I got in a FULL 30 minutes of tae bo! huzzah! I wasn't able to do some of the exercises because of space (lack of), my hips, and just the lack of strength. But in those spaces I just did a walk/jog in place, or something to keep my heart rate up. But boy did I give my abs a work out! I certainly felt it!

I'm going to be doing some callesthenics, soon...about ten minutes worth. 10-20 minutes worth of weight training, too.

I've been doing really awesome on food, too. For breakfast I had a bowl of cream of chicken soup, for a snack I had a serving of buttery smooth crackers. For lunch I had a michelina's mac and cheese with half a can of tuna and a serving of peas mixed in. For a snack I'm going to have 2 egg whites and some gatorade. Depending on when dinner is, I might have another snack (a nutrigrain thingit). And I have absolutely no clue what's for dinner...

I've been good on water, a little over 40 ounces. I took all of my vitamins, today, too!

Oh, and I was curious and stepped on the scale this morning and it's def. good news!

So as a summary, a little over 900 calories today (and counting), 30 minutes of tae bo, 40 ounces of water (and counting), and I'll do some more exercise later.
 
I hate to post so soon after posting in here already, but I'm going to be going to California in less than a month. My mom and I are going to fly out on the 22 of october...then my sister, Stacy (who is currently living with us) will be flying in on the 28th, and then Stacy and I will be flying out on the third. Our other sister, Amy, will be there too, but she'll be leaving on the 5th. Mom is only getting a one way ticket, for now...

The reason for the trip: Serious family issues. My my aunt and uncle (and his wife) are being major gits, and my grandparents' health is really failing. It's such a sad situation...it's just really, really sad.

With my mom being gone, when I get back I'll have run of the house during the day because my sister is moving to an apartment in another city (cuts down on the gas prices...), and dad works all day. So that'll mean I'll get to play makeshift housewife and take care of all the lovely housework. But that also means I'll have plenty of time to kick arse with weight loss...and I'll prolly get to make the grocery lists, too...bwuah haha.
 
sounds like you really got your head on straight Cort, Good for YOU!
Sorry about the grandparents. hope all is well....
Keep moving in that straight line, and AWESOME doing the tae bo! You did perfect walking as you felt needed!
 
Aww, thanks christina :) I certainly hope it stays straight, too!

Yesterday was terrible. Iate junk food (we had a mini 'football party') and I had 20 ounces of SODA, even I banned myself from both until this saturday. I'm so aweful. To top that off, I didn't even exercise (well, I didn't even go to church, either...I was too sick)

Now, last night I promised myself I'd work hard today. Not just with exercise, but with housework and schoolwork. Not just because I need to, but to help wear me out. I slept soo terribly last night I wanted to cry. I went to bed at ten, and could go to sleep, so for an hour I went out into the living room, had some crackers and hot tea, and watched Emeril live (and I actually found a recipe I LIKE, which I'm going to try, hopefully, soon) and then took some more meds and went to bed. Took me about 30 minutes, but I finally fell asleep around 12.30-ish. Then I woke up at 6 forty-ish and couldn't get back to sleep so I went outside and sat with my mom. I had some nasty coughs, too that literally made me cry. anyways, by now, nothing works! Not alkazelser, not nyquil, not sudafed and guafasein...nothing. My friend told me all that she takes when she's sick is ibuprofen. So I said eff it and took 3. But I really wanted to sleep, so I took some chlor tabs too, since I know they make me sleepy. Anyways, that certainly did the trick. Slept (on and off) until ten! Yay.

The problem is I feel so utterly sick and weak that I don't want to work, now. I should rest, but then I won't be able to sleep tonight. I know I have to wear myself out. But I feel as if I can't. All I'm planning on doing, really, is sweeping, doing a little dusting, cleaning my side of the room, picking up the bathroom and sweeping in there, and I promised myself I'd give myself a peice of dark chocolate if I washed the car. With regular exercise I planned on doing tae bo, weight training, callesthenics, stretching, and a couple of other things which I forget. With mental stuff I plan on doing my driver's ed homework and some math.

OH.

I had a dream about the GED. I dreamt that I had taken it at home, and then one day, I came back from a walk and mom said if I had looked at my scores, so I geeked out and went to get them. I had an 'off the chart' for english (hah! yeah right) and really good scores for everything...except that it was broken down in weird categories.

I also had a dream about this one girl I talk to every now and then who is from england, and I remember she died in a car accident. And it was mingled with something sci-fi, and my friends and I were all living in a castle, and hogwarts was somehow mixed into all of this. It was strange because I took it REALLY hard, and I've only talked to her once or twice...barely. It was just a really weird dream o.0

Okay....going to eat breakfast and take some more meds...hopefully I'll be feeling better after that and I'll be able to do some work.
 
I noticed that when I am really sick and on alot of meds, I have the deepest wackiest dreams.
I love dreaming, I dont know what I would do with out my dreams. I have reoccuring dreams and I can almost control my dreams to a point. If I realize it's only a dream, I can do almost whatever I want, unless I have doubt, then it wont work.
Just like real life huh ? never doubt yourself.... you can do whatever you put you MIND to!
 
It's okay to not exercise when you're sick because if you push your body too far, it'll take longer to recuperate. You might want to give yourself that little bit of time. Do some stretching and minimal movement exercises instead of cardio or weight lifting. It's okay about the soda - I had a whole Mexican meal yesterday that was wayyy too much and I'm okay today. Not letting myself view it negatively and give up!
 
I had another really wacky dream last night...about a lion cub I had rescued and he was so cute and cuddly and slept with me on the futon and was so cute! Except it has stripes instead of spots...like a tiger/lion mix *laughs* (have I mentioned I'm obsessed with Tigers?) Anyways, it was so cute and then mom and I got in a real huge fight about it and then I had to be the adult and say I was sorry and then we were okay. B^

Anyways...yesterday I did really good on food. I cleaned my room, so that was my activity for the day, heh. Today I plan on doing tae bo, weight training, and anything after that is just icing on the cake.

Oh, and does anyone have any neat, plane safe, snack ideas? I'm already planning on making a kind of trail mix with almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, dried fruit, and little pretzles...but any other ideas?

Oh, and I've been noticing something really funny. I have a bloody HIGH waist. The waist is the smallest part of the torso, right? If so, my waist is like...4 inches above my belly button. It's obnoxious because my already big hips look even bigger. :eek: :mad: :( :rolleyes:

hip hugger pants give you the illusion of a longer torso... and make you look slimmer, for my body anyway... lol maybe for you too! and they are comfy.. took my a while getting used to my undies peeking at everyone when I sat down, but then I just buy real cute pattern silky undies and I dont mind if they peek. My mom on the other hand walks behind me when I'm sitting and pulls my shirt down over my undies..mom's ! LOL :rolleyes:

your trail mix sounds good. aren't too many nuts bad or something? why am I thinking that? dried fruit sounds yummy too....

hope you get that Tae BO in! I did mine today, I think this was the most Billy ever had me sweating, ever! I watched myself in a mirror the whole time and really paid attention to myself, watching to make sure I was doing every move as close to right as I could get it. And the time blew by so fast! you might wanna try that!

Well cort, hope you have a good day! AND HEY! What happend to your sweet little pic? I miss it! I like looking at everyone, it's like we are almost together as a group ya know? and it makes me smile when I see others smiling.... Oh well,,, TTFN!
 
Hey Cort,
Great idea about putting together snack packs. The best idea I have is a bowl with your favorite fruit...lol...( peaches for you!)....My mom bought this little glad cups..and she makes sugar free jello and fat free pudding.....and pours them in the cups.....and sets them in the fridge for lunches or snacks or deserts.....its a lot cheaper than buying the already made up ones
 
lol! Aww, pretty kitties! *hugs them*

There, I have a new icon up, hehe. I usually forget to smile in pics...it's funny...heh...

Christina, the only issue I have with hip huggers is the modesty issue, but I do have a pair of pants which could be considered hip huggers, but I havn't been able to wear them for a year. And I tried to find them the other day, but can't (even though I KNOW I didn't throw them away...). :(
 
Walmart has alot of stylish jeans now... not in the plus section either. The sizes are big enough for my booty and hips and thighs to fit in... Maybe you should check there.. .And they have Junior Plus sizes that are really cute.... I wish I could take you shopping with me!
 
OOohh how i love shopping :) Yeah check out Wal Mart for some cute jeans! Or else ... hmm ... shopko sometimes has some cute ones! I'm tall and I have hips ... so I HATE jean shopping! Yuck I found some ones that work at Gap .. make my tush look a little smaller hehe*
And good for you Christina!!! You show those sexy panties off ;) Moms ... hahah mine's ALWAYS telling me to pull my pants up or my shirt down!! haha
 
lol! I can't stand underwear shopping...*twitch* *twitch*


Okay, I got some special k today! It's either low fat or no fat...can't remember. It tastes like rice crispies! So I added a little less than a teaspoon of sugar (couldn't find the splenda) and a couple ounces of raisens...and it's GOOD. It was expecting it to taste like raisen bran...but no...rice crispies. But hey! that's alright, I like both :D
 
haha i LOVEEE underwear shopping!! haha so much!
Special K is awesome - have you tried the Red Berries or Fruit & Yogurt stuff?! OHH so good =)
