All-time fat

Yes, it's happened as predicted.  I've hit an all-time fat of 155 lbs at the gym this morning.  My swim sucked big time as I felt lethargic and now I know why.  God how far I've fallen.  13 lbs and it's not like I haven't been working out at least some all the time.  Maybe I need this... If I was a teenager I could get this.  I guess people just have trouble feeling full so they keep eating.  Although if you just fill 3/4ths of your stomach with ho-hos, twinkies and Doritos it probably won't matter that it's only 3/4ths.  It's almost exactly 6 months til the Half Ironman and I feel even less motivated now.  At least I finished my Doritos this weekend so I don't have to worry about eating those for awhile.

Elena and I saw Bolt yesterday.  Rhino was hilarious and made the movie in my opinion.  We also saw the preview for the next Pixar movie, Up.  It looks odd to say the least and I'm not sure.  It looks even worse than the first Wall-E previews.  We saw the movie at the new restaurant/pub style theaters that's just down the street from my condo.  Elena loved the whole concept and kept saying "Awesome" the whole time.  I'm not sure how it's going to survive because it was just us and 2 other people in the entire theater and there was 3 movies going on at the same time, Day the Earth Stood Still, Transporter 3 and Bolt.  It's cheaper for admission than the big megaplex but the screens are smaller.  We ordered pizza and watched the movie.  I'll probably try to go see a few more movies over there and hope it stays in business.

I've been watching that new show Secret Millionaire.  It's so interesting seeing how rich these people are and then how they see how really poor people live.  It's also interesting to see how much they actual give.  The current leader in that department was the self-made chicken finger franchise couple.  I'm not sure how much he's worth but he doled out a good chunk of his money as compared to the saddest was the self-made internet millionaire in San Fran.  He was probably the richest of them all as he just sold a company to Yahoo for 300 million but yet he didn't meet the show's minimum rules which says they have to give at least $100K.  He only gave $90K.  Percentage wise it was pathetic.  It be like me giving $25 to charity.  I'm figuring as the show progresses maybe the millionaires will figure it out but right now some of them haven't.  They seem willing to give but then cheap out.  It's better than zero but still paltry compared to what they could give.  Overall, it's a good show for the holidays.  Way to go Fox Reality.

Not much else going except it's going to be 60 here today...woohoo!!  I'm going for a long run in shorts and a shirt.  I'm just going to bask in the warmth.

  1. reminds me of the sports charities; players making millions upon millions every year give like a thousand and then want people making 20 or 30 thousand to give a hundred...or even better, will "match" what people give. Uh...how about giving like 1oo times what the other people give? As you point out, that would be closer to a percentage thing...though as far as disposable income, still not even come close to the same impact.
