I'm at ROO! Updates (duplicate post)

This post used to contain a widget for people to follow my weekend tweets while I was away, outside of my actual Twitter page, http://twitter.com/lauranette

Since the weekend is over, visit my work blog for a re-tweet, so to speak - a rundown of all my Twitter and Twitpic posts throughout the weekend.

Twittering from Roo!

Here's the Twitter plan for Bonnaroo -

I've set up my phone, Twitter account and Twitpic account to update from Bonnaroo.

Bonnaroo is 11 days away...

... and I'm not in the physical shape I wanted to be. :( Down only 3 pounds total from where I was at my high and not feeling good about it. I went to a wedding this past weekend and I have to say, I looked fairly frumpy in a dress I looked great in not a year ago.

My diet and fitness plans over the course of things have been nothing if not extremely erratic.

I tried Livestrong.com for awhile to track my exercise/eating ratio on a daily basis and did great for a few weeks. But then I started trying to eat more at home and it became harder to track accurately. This week I plan to restart that, now that I've been a member long enough to edit my own meals online, but a 2-week push before the actual event isn't going to get me far.

I was not eating meat for a while, but I started introducing it back into my diet with the advent of grilling season and in light of the fact that I ordered chicken for a wedding and didn't want it to go to waste. Not that eating meat is so horrible for you, but I have noticed a trend of excessive overeating when I have meat in my meals. (If I have a hot dog I have two, and some chips, etc.) Now that I have noted that, I need to do my best to avoid it moving forward.

I wasn't feeling well last week and pretty much stopped drinking water altogether, instead substituting it with flavored drinks. Sadly, many of those were soda or sugary others. Trying to hit the water and low calorie drinks hard this week. Hydrating up for the 'Roo. 

Work has been stressful, which adds to the overeating or eating of unhealthy foods. Plus everyone's getting sick here at work so I've been extra neurotic about getting sick before vacation :(. I think if I stick to exercising everyday and eating healthier, plus refilling my allergy meds, I should be OK.

Started attending Zumba classes last week at Metro. Meant to go to Zumba AND yoga but things came up and I didn't make it to yoga. Trying to do to both this week but I work late shifts on Thursday and Friday so I may not even get to make it to my first sand volleyball game of the year. I hope its at least early enough that I can take a break and go... anyway. 

Should get my ticket tomorrow!!

Dear Bonnaroo Patron,    Thank you for ordering tickets for the 2009 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

Tickets for Receipt #4752036 are being shipped via UPS 2nd Day Air w/Signature Req'd.

YAYYY :)

How to BUILD your ticket?

This year's Bonnaroo ticket is 3D. 

Bonnaroo.com sent out a video today on how to "build it." It's quite amusing. 

I totally posted this on the wrong blog earlier.

This is only a test

Here's a picture I took with my old phone at the Hofbrauhaus and just sent to this blog via my new phone. I just found a way to update my blog with photos and text via text message. My new phone also has sound and video capabilities, so I'll have to check that out later. 

This message was sent using the Picture and Video Messaging service from Verizon Wireless!

My Bonnaroo schedule

Has anyone tried the "Zoltaroo the Mind Reader" feature on Bonnaroo.com?

I didn't really get the mind-reader part, but I really dig the application for the purposes of creating a schedule. I also think it was a really neat way to announce the times and dates of each show.

I went through there and formulated a schedule comprised of the bands I know I want to see. That being said, there are some conflicts that are going to have to get worked through, but we'll play that part by ear. 

There are also some times I don't have booked, so I'm going through over the next few weeks and researching some bands to add to said schedule. Here it is for the time being, but check back for updates:
