Day 1,051 - Funky Monday.

So, closing ceremonies.  I think I watched about 10 minutes of it.

Which was about 8 minutes more than I watched of the actual Olympics.

Eric Idle has some skinny, twig-like legs, doesn't he?  I think that just makes him even funnier, in my opinion. Absolutely hysterical.  "Bright Side of Life" from Life of Brian is one of my favorite movie songs ever.

Heard Oasis was part of the closing act, didn't see them, but heard that they were just kind of meh.  Apparently, all that smoking & drinking has caught up with Liam's vocal chords.  Wonderwall is one of my favorite songs, and it's the reason why I discovered Oasis to begin with.  Those Gallagher brothers - they amuse me so!

Who the hell is Jessi J? Not that it really matters, she aint Freddie Mercury, that's for damn sure.  They should've just played footage from one of Queen's Wembley shows.  That would've been much better, I think.

One other thing - a 7 point win for Team USA over Spain?  That's actually really disappointing.  I mean, it goes without saying that anything less than a gold medal would've been a complete disaster, but a 7 point margin?  The Dream Team averaged something like 30+ wins.

P.S.  That sound you hear is the entire 92 Dream Team saying, "7 points, really?"

And that's pretty much all that I watched of the ceremonies.  Kinda wished I had cared a little more.

Anywho, on to me.  (That was a quick turnaround.)

I've been feeling like I'm in a funk of some kind.  I can't really explain it because I don't understand it myself.  I'm trying to snap out of it by focusing on positive stuff.  That's hard though.  Especially because when I think of how much I've lost so far, I immediately think of the consequences visible on my body.  Like the loose sagging skin on my midsection and inner thighs.  My loose skin is the bane of my existence. It looks awful.  So awful, I hate it.  Anyone would.  Especially men.  Sigh.  Ok, done with that now.

I decided to shake up my workout today.  I started on the inclined treadmill walking at high speed for 15 minutes.  Then I decided to go at an all out run for another 15 minutes.  Which of course sent the blood pouring and my heart rate sky high. I also did a Firm DVD that I hadn't done in forever - Aerobic Body Shaping with Allie del Rio.  I burned 674 calories.

Lots of sweat going on here.  And the saga of the crazy cat lady hair totally continues.  :-)

Food intake was spot on today.  Tracked everything, stayed within my points, and got in all the requirements.

I am making a conscious effort to get bed at a decent time, which I have not been doing lately.   So I am off to get some shut eye.

Good choices!

  1. If your hair didn't look a little crazy after a killer workout, I'd be concerned. You look great, so stop it! :)

    And the Olympics? Watched all the sports I could fit in, but the opening & closing (aside from the lighting of the torch) were....eh. Nothing tops Beijing at this point...

  3. Jessie J is a singer from the UK. Her voice is pretty amazing and she has a wide range. Even on her last album, she bounced from jazz/blues to pop and rap. But I'll be honest... I didn't watch the Olympics AT ALL. I just had NO interest in it what-so-ever. Not even the opening or closing ceremonies. So, I don't know anything about any of it. LOL How do you track your calories burned? Do you have a body bugg or something?

  4. Yeah, I didn't watch the Olympics either. I am always amazed when I see how many calories you burn! I feel ike such a slacker, lol. On a GOOD day I'll burn about 390 doing a workout. I have you beat on the going to bed at a decent hour though. 9:00 bedtime for this girl ;) I think you and I are really in sync. It seems every time one of us is in a funk the other one is too. Hope you get out of your funk soon, maybe I can get out of mine!

  5. It's a little broad to say "especially men." You know? There are plenty of men that wouldn't mind one bit. What they would see is the hard work and dedication that you have put into yourself, the self worth that is growing. I got married at the heaviest weight I've ever been, my husband says was just as sexy then as I am now. He's out there for you Kel, just wait for you to let him in.

  6. USA USA USA, 92 92 92.. I'm done with the Olympics, so good thing they are over. Would rather they reduce it to 1-week and kill half of the events. Any event that requires a judge to give a score, toss it out, it is nothing I will watch or get behind. Gymnastics, Ice Skating, whatever needs a judge; I respect the participants for their skill and athleticism, but their sport is tarnished by the need for flawed human judges to render inconsistent scores.

    I have no idea why I felt like sharing all of that.

    I just came here to say You-Rock!
