Month: March 2008

Excercise Log -3/15/2008

OK, so I’m betting back on track on going to the gym  The routine is starting to happen naturally and I’m feeling better.  It’s crazy to think I wasted all those months paying for a gym membership and not going.

Anyway, today I managed to creep up to working out an hour.  I did my normal jaunt on the Elliptical and then I walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes.  So the quick stats:

Elliptical: 28 minutes, 320 calories, 1.92 miles

Treadmill: 25 minutes, 120 calories, .98 miles

It’s a start and I feel good.

How did I miss this?

Apparently Edge Wireless is going to be purchased by AT&T Wireless and should close sometime in mid-2008.  As much as I have enjoyed Edge’s great service for the past 6 years,  I’ll be happy to have better functionality and cool features with AT&T!  Plus, I will be able to update my present phone to an iPhone! *does happy dance* Source: AT&T Press release here.

Britney to cameo on How I Met Your Mother.

According to an AP article released today, Britney Spears is “having a blast” with her cameo appearance(s) on How I Met Your Mother.

All I can say is UGH.  Please Britney, please don’t take down my favorite show like you did your career.  I will try to give her the benefit of the doubt since it could be entertaining.   My only hope is that CBS doesn’t decide to cancel the show and that she ends up being the mother.  I don’t think I could live with that outcome!

Getting back into the swing of things…

Tonight was the first time I’ve been to the gym this year.  I took it fairly easy and only went through the Weight Loss program on the elliptical.  For a little over 28 minutes, I burned 380 calories.  Not bad for the first day back.  I was surprised that I did not have too many lingering effects from the flu I had a few weeks back.  The thing that worried me the most is that I would start into a coughing fit.  Also, one of the nice things about tonight is that my co-worker is now working out at the same gym.  It definitely makes time go faster.

Day #1 Log

Machine: Elliptical

Will Tony be fined for comments on Goodyear?


One of the things I really like about Tony Stewart is that he’s willing to speak his mind and does not worry about the consequences. His brutal truth on issues is refreshing. Today’s latest issue (or victim?) is Goodyear. Should Tony be punished for speaking out against the official tire of NASCAR?

“That was the most pathetic racing tire I’ve ever been on in my professional career. Goodyear can’t build a tire that is worth a crap.”

Gotta love Tony for this latest controversy!
