Thar she blows...

Well, I promised this would be a blog of honesty, so let's roll that beautiful bean footage from the weekend, shall we?

Now, let me start by saying I was really good this week, except for Saturday. And, in all honestly, I'm probably being dramatic. However, two trips to Ann Sather and a couple too many drinks at Big Chicks on Saturday probably spelled a nice overage in my points for the week.

I guess you can say I've identified my weaknesses: Stoli vodka, Ann Sather's Cinnamon Rolls and anything Hamburger Mary's. In fact, when I try to even estimate Ann Sather Cinnamon Rolls on WW Etools, I hear sobbing coming from the speakers of my computer. So, I'm going to go all student affairs on my ass and be introspective. When my students would make a big mistake, I would always say, "It's not the end of the world (unless they were trafficking drugs - that's a no no) what did you learn?". So, I learned that I order whole wheat toast at Ann, space out cocktails with club soda at Las Chicas Grandes and order a black bean burger at Mary's. Three "Our Father's", genuflect, peace out Catholics.

I'm on week two of the Couch to Five K. It's getting a little harder this week and I'm all nasty by the end of the workout. I think it's a good thing...

HAM of the Day

So, today's HAM award goes to a gentleman I'll call, "Dude, Where's my Treadmill". So, I'm getting all into my "brisk warm up run" as the Couch to 5K site recommends, and this older gentleman proceeds to tap me on the shoulder from the adjacent treadmill. Interupting, "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer is a sin, first of all, and especially for the reasons this gentleman invoked on my workout. He mumbled something (I was in the middle of a "Toot, Toot, Beep, Beep" repetition so I was not paying attention) but gestured for me to save his treadmill. Then, he dissappears. Now, I'm all nervous because what if someone jumps on...do I hit them? Spray them with my water bottle? Throw it to 10 speed to jar them off? 

Oh, and of course, Stampy was back and two treadmills down.

  JAM of the Day

According to WW, you get more activity points as the intensity increases. A way of measuring the intensity deals with can you sing the lyrics of a song.  Today's JAM is the 80's classic by REM, "It's The End of the World as We Know It". Ok, even when I'm resting on my couch, there's no way I could sing that song. And, when you're running at warp speed, the lyrics just become an incoherent jumble (except for the "Leonard Bernstein" part). With a good beat and punchy lyrics, I'd say I feel fine!
