1). Let me just apologize for the picture in my last post. Those are just fluffy bits of lovely cotton, you know.
I’m better – almost 100%! I didn’t workout today but I also didn’t sleep. I didn’t take any cold meds. I am almost all better and so very grateful for that.
2). Does anyone who watches food advertisements on TV really think “YUM!” I mean really – does greasy pasta drowning in cheese sauce with a side of garlic, butter infested bread sticks look good? How about lobster swimming in 2 pounds of butter with a side of fish covered in cream sauce and a baked potato with sour cream? Tasty? GAG! The mind boggles until I think about the endless reports of obesity in this country. Well duh! If people really think eating like that is a good idea then no wonder we are a nation of lard asses.
3). Oceanside is a mere 4 weeks away and I am trying not to panic about it. Not that I’m really panicked. I could “do it” tomorrow but it would suck and it would not be worth the price of admission. Between the rain and the cold I have not been able to get in the training on the bike that I really, really need. I’m sure I could have been working harder on the trainer doing intervals but what concerns me is the hills and to be a good climber you need to climb. And climb I will – just as soon as I can. I just hope it is soon enough.

food commercials are everywhere and disguisting. or, at least i tell myself that.
so how long did you ride before you started losing?
so glad you are better! i really need to get on the damn bike. soon.
i hate food in general.
We went to TGIFridays the night before Robert left for deployment and everything, I mean EVERYTHING was fried. I had two (not one, but two) breadsticks with my salad, and they had been fried. Why? Just to be a little crunchy? Who would eat that???
Then Santi ordered a cheese burger and – you’ll ever believe this but I swear it’s true – the cheese on the burger had been separately battered and fried before being put on the burger. What the?????
On top of all that, the portions of that sh*t were huge.
Don’t get me wrong, I love food and I love to eat. But I was completely grossed out.
I will never go there again.
I should have taken pictures.
glad you’re feeling better — I didn’t know you were doing a 70.3 this early in the season. Lady, YOU ROCK.
i hate all food commercials. ones with skinny hot people don’t make me feel any better.
