Day 64 - Pants in the closet and The Defiled screening
Monday, January 25, 2010
So today is the sneak peek screening for the film The Defiled!!! I played a very small role in this feature/horror/awesome film!
I'm very excited to see the full film on-screen! We are seeing it in a real screening room at Columbia College in Chicago. My parents, Jon and I will be having dinner at my folks house and then heading over to the college.
I wasn't sure what I was going to wear. I had some ideas (I wanted to dress up a bit), but nothing was set in stone. I was a TOTAL GIRL. I tried everything on in my closet. Nothing was working.
The one wonderful thing about losing weight and changing how your body looks is everything gets big on you and you feel great in smaller sizes. The one frustrating thing about losing weight is that everything is big on you that you have IN YOUR CLOSET and then you have to go out and get more clothes.
Deep in the back of my closet I have a pair of pants.
I bought these pants and the sweater at H&M circa 2002.
I never wore the pants. By the time I had a reason to wear them I'd gained about 5 pounds and they didn't fit well anymore.
So they went into the back of the closet with the tags on.
I've gotten rid of a LOT of clothes ranging in sizes for the last few years. For some reason, there were a few things I just wouldn't part with.
These pants were one of those items. I was just SURE I would get in them again and be able to really wear them to something.
I'm proud to say...TODAY WAS THAT DAY!
I should have gotten a picture of me in them. But regardless, I really enjoyed that amazing feeling of zipping them up and having them FIT!
Mom made dinner and we ran off to watch me get mutilated!
The screening was a BLAST! I had such an amazing time! There's nothing cooler than seeing your face on a movie screen. Seriously. It was awesome!
Onwards and upwards! I'm hoping we'll have as awesome a screening of Fall Away when it's finally complete!
Check out the poster for The Defiled! My name's on it!!!!!

Day 61 - Filming and Futurama references
Friday, January 22, 2010
So today I had to get myself ready for filming. I am so excited to get back on set! I absolutely love that this is the work I am getting to do now. I love the film I love the crew I love the director I love the cast!
I. Love. It. All.
So, I wanted to make sure I was worked out before our 12 hour filming.
So there I was. Ready to workout. And I just didn't want to do it.
Now, of course, I really don't like working out, anyway. (Who does, usually?)
So I took a moment to analyze and figure out what it was about this workout that was bothering me.
Was it that I didn't want to work out because I was too tired? No.
Was it that I felt sore? No.
Was I just "not feeling it"? No.
I actually wanted to workout, but I just didn't want to do my regular routine.
As Jon and I often like to quote (and misquote) Futurama I realized what the problem was.
This workout was "boring me, Zoidberg"
Ok! This is fixable. I have a plethora of other workout videos and things to do to alleviate the boredom.
So today I opted to do a total body workout which included cardio, resistance bands, abs, yoga, etc in less than 48 minutes! Yay me.
Why don't I do these all the time? Aha! Well, I get bored with them too, Zoidberg.
But it was a nice change from the regular routine.
Also, I'd like to add that in the past I've done this workout and never felt as strong as I do now doing it. I often had to bow out of a rep or two or even an exercise when it would get too difficult. It was incredibly cool to be able to do the entire work out and feel good!
I'm sure I'll be revisiting that one again! :)
Filming? Oh filming was amazing! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
I got wrapped at 3:30AM. Gotta get up at 8:00AM to head to Wisconsin (3.5 hours one way) to visit my dear friend from high school, Debbie, for her baby shower!!! Cannot wait to see her! Then, I get to hang with one of my best friends, Lisa, who moved back home to Kenosha, Wisconsin after that! So excited to see them! It's been too long in both cases. I'm missing my ladies!
Today's Goal: Do a total body workout (weights and/or abs with cardio) = SUCCESS!
Tomorrow's Goal: be careful with my choices at the shower! And if we get drinks with Lisa

Day 55 - Filming and Sleeping
Saturday, January 16, 2010
So today we have a very crazy turn-around time for our filming. Off the set at 3:00 PM and back on the set at 1:30 AM for hair and make-up. So exhausted. Must sleep.
No workout today. Only sleep.
Better post tomorrow.
Today's Goal: be careful at craft services = SUCCESS (only ate fruit and eggs and veggies)
Tomorrow's Goal: try to get more water in
Calories Consumed: ??? Approx 1200?
Workout: NONE (sleep for a quick turn-over time)

Day 54 - Weigh-in week 8 and Rest
Friday, January 15, 2010
So today was a weigh-in day and a day of rest. We are on set starting at 2:00 AM this coming morning (Sat.) until 2:00 PM Saturday afternoon. There will be little time to sleep or rest so I'm going to have to keep my energy up with good food and basically "graze" all weekend. We film Saturday through Monday afternoon.
As far as the weigh-in goes I did gain. Only 4 ounces but it's still a gain so that's never fun. BUT, I'm not throwing in the towel.
I completed a kick-ass workout today and I feel really good about that.
The next few days will be very hard to determine calories since we have craft services providing everything. But, I will be careful and watch the choices I make. No candy bars for me. And lots of tea and water...no coffee.
See you on the next break of filming! Yay Fall Away!

Day 49 - Filming and Freezing
Sunday, January 10, 2010
So today was the first day of filming! Glorious and wonderful filming! I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am to be a part of this incredible project.
The crew and the cast and the whole thing was amazing. I cannot wait until next weekend!
However, we were shooting outside in below freezing temperatures. While in this scene I was able to wear a coat and scarf, my toes nearly froze off because the cheap boots I got are essentially made out of plastic.
The amazing crew ran to get me toe-warmers. They helped for a bit. But, seriously, I have to find a better way to keep my toes warm. Put the foot warmers on BEFORE I get cold, maybe... :) Also: better socks!
Other than that little craziness, I feel like the luckiest girl!
I cannot say enough awesome things about this experience. It is everything about why I am an actor. Love! LOVE!
During the day I tried to sleep as much as I could. I purposely cleared my schedule so I could get some rest, get in some cardio and just relax before shooting.
Same thing goes for tomorrow. Our call time: 11pm Sunday night. Wrap time: 5:00am Monday morning! [yawns]
G'night!
