I have always loved the Olympics. This year I am obsessed. Last night I wondered - out loud and dead seriously "can an obese lap bander become an olympian?" Mo looked at me like I had 8 heads.
I'm still kinda young....36. Every few years I "age out" of a sport. At 18 it dawned on me that I would never be a gymnast. At 22 I knew I would never be a track star. At 28 my podium finish for the 400m freestyle dreams were crushed - as you can see with each new games I was out a sport - in the back of my mind I keep curling and equestrian events as my safety sports. But last night I fiercely and proudly proclaimed to all in my presence - Mo, Eddie and Sammy - that here before them was an olympian. Yes - Rio 2016 - For Mountain Biking. I will be 40. I have never raced in a UCI sanctioned event but why the hell not shoot for the stars!

I had a small slice of b-day cake - I didn't even want it but I thought I should have it. Dammit! Sent me into a sugar spiral yesterday. Today back to white knuckle sugar detox to get back on track...
I am so sensitive to that shit! grrrrr
What I ate yesterday -
Protein Shake
small bag of chocolate chips
4 slices of fried zucchini
b-day cake
2 small pieces of chocolate
RAN 1 MILE/WALKED 1 MILE - RUNNING POST BINGE IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA..
blood orange margarita - damn that was good!
miso soup
avocado salad
few bites of cookielicious - insanely good!
Turning this around now.....
Must have recipe for this avocado salad. Also, you can do anything you set your mind to, honey badger!
ReplyDeleteyou should race!
ReplyDeleteYikes, do I ever know what you mean about not exercising post-binge....I ate 5 cookies for breakfast (don't judge...hahah) and then went to Jazzercise. Felt like total crapola the whole time. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeletePS: A Lap-Bander can be whatever they want to be (except enlist in the US Military...yeah, they don't like us WLS peeps). I know you'll do whatever you set your mind to!
Happy belated birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHeck, you could be ther first female Tour de France winner!!
Sugar is evil.
ReplyDeleteI have been a little obsessed with the olympics too. Yesterday I made The Rockstar pretend like we were in the olympics racing in the pool. I think he let me win just so I wouldn't make hime keep doing it until I won gold :)
ReplyDeleteThe Olympics kick arse! I will totally fly out to Rio to cheer you on.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally addicted to the Olympics this year!
