I originally signed up for drop-in #curling w/ the #OCCurlingClub because I haven’t thrown or swept rocks since the beginning of May. When I got there, I was asked if I wanted to sub for a team w/ 2.5 players. How does a team have 2.5 players?!? Well, Alan had surgery recently and still a couple weeks away from medical clearance to sweep. It’s funny how comfortable I’ve grown 3rd wheeling for Mabby during winter league even though it was only 6 weeks long. It was definitely weird to jump in to an existing team w/ their own dynamics. These guys time every shot - both their own and their opponents; Mabby and I, since we all started league in February, mostly winged things. If we stay together for Fall leagues, there’s lots of things we can work on to get better for sure. This experience made me appreciate even more how Jim Cotter and Eve Muirhead were able to jump in as super spares for Team Edin and Team Hasselborg at GSOC when Oskar & Anna were competing at Worlds for mixed doubles. It’s hard to be a sub. Thank you Austin, Bob, and Alan for a great game. I’m sorry we didn’t pull off the win since it was the playoffs (it was a tie and came down to a draw challenge between the skips and we narrowly lost). My favorite moment might be Bob & Austin arguing about whether or not to sweep a rock in motion and being utterly confused - JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO! It ended up being shot rock and a true testament to when they say curling is a game of millimeters. 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #fangirlcurling #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #fatgirllearnstocurl #growththegame #growthesport #wintersports #sports #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #ilovecurling #HardlineNation #sausagefest #wbw #wednesday #waybackwednesday #orangecounty 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 (at OC Curling Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLpaR1HpLL/?igshid=c7o3km1cx3yk

Thanks to the #OrangeCounty #curlingclub for being so welcoming this past weekend. My whole body still hurts from subbing—I’ve never played 2 games back to back before and I’m relieved I survived it on top of the 3 hour drive roundtrip. Hooray for the Costco chocolate covered protein bar I had in my bag for helping me get through the second game. I’m so glad Maureen (who usually plays lead too) played vice since I’m much more comfortable as lead 😬 Thanks Nick for the delivery tips afterward. I hope to get my slide in better form and more consistent as time goes on. LOL when I asked to take the pic afterward Maureen said okay as long as they can call me Martin 😂 I loved how beautiful the #OCCurlingClub ‘s facility is, and I’m jealous that they have an entire large room to store their rocks and scoreboards, etc. 😍 And as I mentioned a couple days ago, it’s Nathan Chen territory so super cool. Oh someone gave me compliments for my @dynastycurling Edin Swedish Vikings jersey (worn under my hoodie) but another person called me a traitor for being @niklasedin ’s biggest fan 😂 This wouldn’t happen in Canada! Or would it? 🤔 #wbw #waybackwednesday #wednesday #humpday 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #fangirlcurling #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #fatgirllearnstocurl #curling #growththegame #growthesport #wintersports #sports #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #ilovecurling #itsalotharderthanitlooks #HardlineNation 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 (at OC Curling Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLmzXRnAZB/?igshid=ovmxg17yxtvj

#FBF to my #running days. Completing the #SanDiego #RockNRoll #halfmarathon while my dad was dying of cancer was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. By the time I attempted the half marathon I had lots of 5Ks, 10Ks, & 15Ks under my belt. I was consistently #jogging 6.5 miles without stopping or needing water, but I underestimated the toll 13.1 miles would have on me. I really should’ve trained more for longer runs (11 miles or so) because I had to visit the medical tent after mile marker 10 & basically walked the rest of the way after I got stretched out. At this point, I thought I had gotten a good handle on my pronation & blistering issues and if anything it was my knees I was concerned about. Joke’s on me, it was my right hip that essentially gave out. My poor right hip has never been the same since then. I finished the half marathon & earned my medal, but it came w/ the price. I continued to dance through pain for several months instead of going to the doctor immediately. I had an x-ray done and ended up in PT for 4 months but was never whole again. To this day I deal w/ #chronicpain I admit I was bad about doing PT exercises at home every day multiple times a day like I should’ve been but I also should’ve gone to the doctor sooner instead of trying to work through the pain. I’ve lost a lot of weight since then, but I can’t run/jog/walk long distances anymore. My bum right hip definitely makes dancing, swimming, and curling a lot more challenging despite having lost a significant amount of weight. Similar to how I feel when I look back at the #disappointing and #heartbreaking experience of the #contcup2019 I wonder if it was all worth it just to be able to cross off a goal from my list? Years later I’m still paying for the half marathon I completed and months later I’m still suffering from the aftermath of my Vegas trip. I can’t go back in time & fix my mistakes or shake myself to make different decisions. My hip will always be messed up & keep getting worse as I get older, and I can’t ever get back what I lost in January. #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAuL8bh0YL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kha253nmhiah

Swipe for an #injury #update I was tempted to post the photo of my hand in front of my usual #salad for #dinner by itself, but figured I’d spare some of you just in case. What I really wanted was some InNOut but I managed to resist since I know I’ll be stuffing my face w/ lots of GOT Oreos soon whew. Glad I brought my Team USA gloves to the rink today because I needed the protection for my hand both for throwing rocks and especially for sweeping. Definitely some discomfort after the game and by the time I got home an hour later I NEEDED to ice and take ibuprofen. I hope I wake up okay 🙏🤞I have a feeling my hand will continue to look worse before it gets better. It’s a good thing I love #purple but maybe not so much in the form of bruises on my body #weekend 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #fangirlcurling #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #fatgirllearnstocurl #growththegame #growthesport #wintersports #sports #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #ilovecurling #itsalotharderthanitlooks #niklasalinaandoskar #SWEorSUI #SWEandSUI #TeamWorld #thirdwheel #isweptwithyourgirlfriend #ioverswept #HardlineNation 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOsaPRh3fr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xoyaps72bdfx

I’m glad I got this picture w/ Tina before #dance #rehearsals tonight. When I saw that we both showed up to the studio in jeans and white shoes (part of what we’re supposed to wear for a performance at the end of the month - so testing things out), I knew I had to get a pic. Plus, I’ve been wanting to get a picture w/ Mama Tina because she’ll be 60 this summer and dancing circles around me every week. I got hurt tonight in a silly way, now I can’t even make a fist. I certainly hope I’m still dancing #hiphop at a high level when I’m about to turn 60 #goals #inspiration Many of you know I’m a #clumsy #klutz who’s always hurting one way or another, but I’ve never gotten hurt in this particular way, EVER, especially not while #dancing Thank you to Serenity our Assistant Director who took care of me after I got hurt. It’s a good thing purple is one of my favorite colors because I’m certainly looking purple in some parts of my body. I hope I wake up significantly better tomorrow morning. 🙏🤞 Oh, and I lost my pants right before our pre-dismissal team huddle #imamess Maggie pants are apparently too big for dance. Will have to see next week if my new Old Navy pants are loose/flexible enough for dance purposes or if I have to buy another pair of jeans... #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #friday #tgif https://www.instagram.com/p/BwL69qhBm-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k9uvivzp7z9l

#NormanReedusTheDog giving my #new #cheershoes the #snifftest 😂 Big Girl Granny hopes to come out of retirement eventually. Not this year, but hopefully in the not so distant future. I still have delusions, I mean dreams of flying in a stunt. Still need to lose more weight, work on flexibility, and learn #flyer technique, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. #cheer #shoes #cheerleading #fatcheerleader #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #unicorns 🦄 #weightlossjourney #exercise #workout #NormanReedus #retriever #terrier #chihuahua #mixedbreed #mutt #muttsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogsofig https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWoERPB6w_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=og7yi8nguwxe

#selfie before the #curling match ❤️🥌 For the 3rd game in a row, we lost the coin toss, threw yellow rocks, and lost in the end. The ice just kept pulling on one side no matter how far off to the other side we aimed and there were wonky spots - the rock would be really fast and then just slow down/stop abruptly in one section, and there was one area right before the house where there was no curl at all. There were 6 stones in a row that went field goal straight in one end. One of my 3 rocks during the 6th end went kinda airborne somehow 😂 And I had a small IDK what to even call it, not quite a stumble or fall since I was already on my knee, maybe balance check(?) to borrow a term from gymnastics, when I threw one of my rocks (also in the 6th end), but luckily nothing seriousMy vice basically voluntold me to update the scoreboard today since I’m still trying to get used to our efficient system. Both of my knees and my thighs are sufficiently covered w/ Katinko. I hope I can get out of bed okay in the morning lol I’m still getting used to the dance, swim, and curling within 24 hours routine. Hope I build enough strength, stamina, and endurance to keep up this routine and even add to it either on Thursday or #Sunday It’s still surreal that less than a year ago I was begging friends to go to a learn to curl session w/ me for my birthday (I went alone) and now I’m playing #lead in a curling team.

#FBF to #ContCup2019 in #LasVegas The first time I wore my #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN #shirt was to the draw #TeamEdin had against Team Shuster. It was the first time that #NiklasEdin had defeated John Shuster in about a year after losing to him at the Olympics, a GSOC event, and the Curling World Cup Omaha final. That is, until today *spoiler alert* Team Edin won against Team Shuster in their RR match earlier today at #wmcc2019 💃🏻🕺 Nik’s not allowed to lose to Shuster anymore and I hope he got the memo 👊💪 I will always have a love-hate relationship w/ how my first Continental Cup experience went. As time goes on, I hope I can learn to embrace the bright moments instead of remembering the heartbreak and disappointments. There are no do overs. What’s done is done, and I can’t unring the bell. Most of the toothpaste has been squeezed out of the tube and there’s no putting that minty freshness back in. But what a treat it was to see Niklas lead Team Edin to a win against Team Shuster on American soil, er ice. I of course got a couple of snide comments about my shirt from a couple of men (likely drunk Canadians because apparently #curling tournaments are all about drinking and partying). I’m petty and hella vengeful AF I wish I could’ve found them after the game just to remind them what my shirt looked like 😂 Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; and I like being right and wish I could rub people’s noses at things when they’ve wronged me. Though I guess I am big about redemption... #provemewrong The day before I went on my #baecation was the lowest I had ever weighed in my adult life. It was lower than what I weighed in high school. And then shit happened and I ate my feelings and gained 10lbs back 🤬 I’ve hit plateau and still struggling to get back on track. I’m trying to be good w/ nutrition but still mourning not having had cake on Monday on my birthday. Yes, I purposely used mourning because that’s what it feels like. I told myself I wasn’t going to cry on my birthday and I failed REPEATEDLY #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #weightlossjourney #weightloss #progressnotperfection #progressnotperfect #flashbackfriday #emotionaleater #sensitive (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4mYHvh7F_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zjiu954dpyc

#TransformationTuesday the @bonesonfox #cosplayer edition. This was #EmilyDeschanel ‘s #pregnantBrennan #Jeffersonian jumpsuit - I’m not normal, I’m extraordinary! I’ve had this #screenworn / #screenaccurate jumpsuit for about two years, but have never worn it out to a #cosplay convention because as you can see from the picture on the left, I couldn’t button it #BFL 😭 I finally got it out of the box again recently and not only can I button it, I almost look like I’m swimming in it on the pic on the right. 💃🏻🕺 Part of me almost wishes I had taken more photos when I first got it for better comparison, but I was so disappointed that it didn’t fit that I only had one photo. ❤️💀❤️💀❤️💀❤️💀❤️💀❤️💀❤️💀❤️ #DrBrennan #TemperanceBrennan #Bones #bonescosplay #bonescosplayer #TeamFatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fatloss #progressnotperfection #progressnotperfect #tuesday #hardworkpaysoff #dontquit #keepgoing #yougotthis 👊💪 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWgUlfBtQ-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8apg1t6lbt54

I told @niklasedin I’d show his spin-o-rama video from @huncurling to my vice and try to get him to do it. This was his second attempt. YAS!!! 👏👏👏 We are still yet to win a game, but we just have to keep at it 👊💪 The drift on the ice tonight was wicked crazy. Wearing 2 grippers helped and I’m definitely improving at the sweeping thing, but most of my throws were heavy tonight womp womp. #funtimes and #shenanigans at @curlsandiego woohoo What a way to spend the #weekend #curling ❤️🥌❤️❤️🥌❤️🥌 #curlsandiego #twoguysandafangirl #twodudesandafangirl #saturday #curling #fatgirllearnstocurl #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #curlingjourney (at Curl San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQY7qIhOun/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zm4noeccdzaa

#wbw #waybackwednesday back to when I first did #piyo almost 5 years ago. Being able to do a modified #piyoflip was quite an accomplishment back then. IDK if I can still do it now... This was right around the time when my dad was dying of cancer. I was still on auto pilot so I was able to finish, plus I had a really good challenge group support system on FB. I’ve decided to do goat yoga for my birthday this year and have this crazy idea of doing a backbend and having a cute baby goat stand on me as I channel my best impression of a table... I have like 4 weeks or so to do it. Probably not gonna happen since I’m not really #flexible I don’t know how to #relax and #yoga often stresses me out more than anything because I get too in my head about it. But it’s a nice thought wishing I could go from 0 to backbend in 4 weeks... I’m contemplating doing Piyo again. I even printed out a clean copy of the basic calendar already. It’s 8 weeks long with Fridays as rest days... I might not adhere to the daily schedule since I have swim and dance and we all know I struggle w/ stamina and endurance already, but if I do end up doing Piyo again I’ll at least follow the sequence of workouts. Have you done Piyo or any other #ChaleneJohnson and/or #Beachbody #workouts ?

#coyotas #cookies from #sonora #mexico brought by one of the managers at #work from her recent trip. I confess I was powerless to resist the #temptation 😂😭 IDK if I’m sad or glad I didn’t get the one stuffed w/ Nutella inside. It was an assorted pack and I ended up getting the standard #brownsugar one. IDK what the other flavors are but supposedly there’s a Nutella one and a guava one. I limited myself to just one so IDK #foodporn #snacks #sugaraddict #nomnomnom #lategram #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet https://www.instagram.com/p/Btjeh0SBjhc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q5tlryz8uhab

Another take on #transformationtuesday from the same two #dance #auditions I posted earlier. What a world of difference in the year between these two #selfies Candidate 41 looked very much deer in the headlights, swollen, and already exhausted and #dancetryouts hadn’t even started. Candidate 55 took a hella #sweaty #selfie or #swelfie AFTER she had finished auditioning and still managed a dorky smile on her face. A good redemption for her #TeamEdin shirt since the last time she wore it she experienced heartbreak at #contcup2019 What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Some things stay w/ you and drag you down... 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 IDK if numerology had any role in the outcomes, but 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese numerology, whereas 5 is luckier. Not as lucky as 8, but luckier than 4 for sure, hence why a company of canned sardines is called 555 in Asia... 41 had never NOT passed dance tryouts since first semester freshman year of college for The Movement so it was devastating. Although I don’t think she could’ve handled being in a dance troupe last year... 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 Being significantly skinnier at tryouts this year made a big difference, but so did pacing myself so I still had something left in the tank for the two passes when my actual audition came. Another year older and hopefully wiser. I actually started visualizing getting down on the floor & letting my hair down literally for auditions, but when the time came, I was on auto-pilot and forgot OOPS! 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺 After the challenging 5 years I’ve had, things actually started looking up towards the end of 2018. I thought 2019 was going to be the best year yet in comparison, but it started off rough and I’m still trying to recover. January was a trial period! It’s #ChineseNewYear so here’s new beginnings! I approached dance tryouts w/ focus & determination. I had something to prove to myself & really needed the win. #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fatloss #teamfatass #loseanolsentwin #sdccstarvationdiet #biggirlgranny #dancing #fitness #wellness #progressnotperfection #progressnotperfect https://www.instagram.com/p/BthDKplBhdK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t2r4waf5vwie
