ROLLERCON

I AM OFF.... going to Vegas

see you in three days

Tomorrow RollerCon

(Me and Krissy Krash last year at the Dance Off Pant's Off party... we toned up since...)

Starting the day off with a Herbalife Shake... well, now I lied, I had coffee and now I am having a herbalife shake... Yummy... Yummmy... orange juice and the Vanilla formula really taste like a popcicle!

I'm not going to Vegas until tomorrow because today is travel-team practice, it is amazing how fast I have adapted to a new team, new strategies and also gained new confidence in my skating. I really love skating with Gotham Girls Allstars, it is very hard work, but also very rewarding... I sometimes feel like falling down crying, but at the same time, I will not become a better skater by falling down crying, so most of the time I don't... I am a sturdy lady, and I keep on trucking...

I don't want to loose weight, maybe two pounds, but for most of it, I am very happy at my weight, I am a mover and a shaker, whilst being very hard to move... 170 pounds just don't go flying easily, I would be a fool trying to loose more than maximum 10 pounds, at least if I wanna continue to be a great derby player at this level...

Tomorrow is RollerCon, I am gonna play a scrimmage or two and then spend time at the pool in my bikini... I never really liked wearing a bikini... I don't know why... but I still like to get a tan... maybe I just should try to go find a nude pool in Vegas... Ahhh... Vegas baby... VEEEGAS!

Day FortySeven til present

I lost track... I still eat... I still play derby and I still live life as I love it... I think this blog will from now and on be less food based and more derby based... I think that is more or less how I live my life... I love derby and I love food... Uhm... yum! I also love talking about derby and also to blab about everything and nothing... past week I've celebrated Em Dash birthday in CT and then I took off to Philly and visited Sunshine Skate and Miss Fortune...

Yesterday me and Mad Malooney from Copenhagen Roller Derby went to Five Stride and she got herself a pair of 595's... Good choice I'd say! Two thumbs up!

Later on we hit up Manhattan Mayhem (my home team) practice, it is soo awesome to skate with your own team and have your sweetheart there at the same time... Today I waved her off, she is heading to RollerCon 2010, I am going there on Friday... gotta be awesome to see the before and after pictures from the Derbalife 7-week challange...

Day FortyFour

Bout weekend always throws me off soo much, be cause it is really about eating, but eating healthy, eating what I want, but not over or under eat. When nervous I usually don't have too much of an apetite... Damn, life is complicated...

I just have not gotten back to recording what I been eating the past days, probably because I have been eating less healthy than I usually do... Today I went for a yummy Bratwurst at Blaue Gans and a beer after practice... Practice was quite intense...

Derby: 2 hours of Manhattan Mayhem practice...
Workout: 10 min on that walking and moving your arms machine and upperbody...

Day FortyThree

(Me and Krushpuppy from Boston)

Weekend was great, we watched Boston beat Madison, the game was close at times, and Boston had me worried. Krushpuppy was doing an AMAZING job jamming, very impressed.... On Sunday morning we played Madison, and won. It was a fun game, even if I did for the first time in a long time get bruises, cement for sure bruise you much, much more than sports-court does...

Derby: I was a good girl and went to Legaue Practice... Scrimmage vs. Bronx

Tomorrow: Madison vs. Gotham

Sorry, I will not be around for your blogging pleasure...

Today was not a bad day, but not a very good day either, it was just one of those days when things just didn't really feel amazing, nor boring. It was acctually fun to do some hitting at practice yesterday, apparently I have some knock-down power in my long spider legs...

I miss my lady in Denmark, and if I wasn't bound to NYC for my love of derby, I be spread out on her couch/bed right now in Copenhagen...

Day ThirthySeven

(Finally I am able to re-enter the skating lane...)

Yesterday at practice one of my teammates told me that I looked really leaned out, and then today another of my teammates commented that I am getting a little closer to my goal of being as buff as Suzy Hotrod.

So I was trying to cut down on carbs the past days, that is not gonna work out... ugh, I had such a carb craving that I polished off a half a box of pita chips... Nom Nom Nom... I really believe in that if your body is craving something, you should probably give it what it wants. Well, in a more healthy way if you can. If it craves sugar, have an apple or two...

It is only 13 days before my lady comes to New York and I can skate with her along West Side Highway before she takes off to RollerCon. Ah, can't wait for her to get here.

Derby: 1 hour Manhattan practice 1/2 hour offskates drills, after re-lacing my skates in a real elaborate way, I was able to skate almost the entire practice.

(So yeah, my hair got shorter, but I am real happy with it)

I am still jetlagged, and woke up super early, there is still no food at my house, so another morning I had to drag myself to Starbucks... it is so far the closest place with decent coffee around here. Then I skyped with HussINsane and Mad Malooney, that both were hungover in Copenhagen. Ah, I miss Denmark and Sweden, Scandinavia in the summer really is the place to be!

(yesterday I only got to watch the action, skating is my only attraction)

A new day, and I still am unable wearing shoes or skates.... makes life a little more limited I really must say. I miss Sweden, but it is nice to be back in NYC... I had to sit and watch a travelteam practice yesterday, and that sucked... it had been ONE WEEK with no skates... it is real frustrating! I did do around 400 sit ups yesterday, and that does make me feel a little better...

Snack: 6 pieces of Turkish Pepper... it is an excellent Swedish salty Candy...

Day ThirthyTwo

(Me and Mad Malooney from Copenhagen Roller Derby are showing off in Copenhagen, Denmark, we are both very accident prone)

All day was spent on a flight, and now I will go to travel team practice, even if I highly doubt I can skate, due to me being a clumsy idiot and shaving all the skin on my heel off... it is quite deep... I am soooo tired too... so I will take it easy... maybe do some land drills... maybe try to put the skates on...

Day ThirtyOne

Not entirely back to square one... but my foot is really bad and I can't put shoes nor skates on... so I guess biking is what I will have to do.. today I did go kayaking with my mother for 45min

Day TwentyFive to Day Thirthy

I apologize for my absence... but I have been trying a different sort of exercise, we can call it 'making out'... I have been coaching Stockholm Roller Derby (that is Sweden) and Copenhagen Roller Derby (that's Denmark)... I had a party, I hurt my foot, and can't run nor skate... been forgetting about my vitamins, eaten a lot of salad, cheese and bread...

Yeah, I have been living life, I even had a Danish beer... 'SHOCK'

I am now on the train going back to Stockholm from Copenhagen, internet on the express train... makes me happy and I am enjoying a nice salad Miss Mad Malooney made for my travels.

Day TwentyFour

(Amazing friend Jenny aka HussInsane is trying her scariest move)

I am still in Sweden, Mad Malooney is coming up from Copenhagen today to join the ranks of awesomeness... I hung out with my loooooongtime friend HussInsane yesterday. She just started to skate a month ago, and she is doing sooo good, I am so proud of her. Her and me had good times snowboarding together years and years ago, and now we have even better times skating together... We also decided that no one coule ever pay us enough to be 20 years old again... ugh...

Roomie Em left me to go to work and now I'm just coughing on the couch, wondering if it might be the cat...
