The Scintillating Game of Soccer

Hey - not so bad!

I only put on a pound and a half during the cruise, and I have already taken it off and achieved a new low point! (high point?)

Yesterday, all I had until about 9:00 pm was a few hard-boiled eggs and a power bar, and I fit in a game of tennis with Jamey, which I won. I then met up with my brother, who had scored a couple free tickets to the MLS Western Conference Championship game between the L.A. Galaxy and the Houston Dynamo.

Most. Ridiculous. Game. Ever.

I had never watched a full game of soccer before, let alone seen it live. If they were all just trying to stay in shape, then bravo - I'm sure they sweated off a pound or two each. But as a sport, it just plain sucks, and I challenge anyone to change my mind on the subject. The final score was 0-0 at the end of regulation. And that's pretty typical. So for 90 minutes of play, nothing happened. THRILLING. The field was pretty though.

I did get the snackies during the game and later when hanging out at my brother's place, but the scale tells me that it wasn't all that terrible.

Have had a couple more eggs, some soup, and some almonds so far today. We're back in business, baby!

P.S. I didn't really beat Jamey at tennis. This was just my way of making sure that he's reading my blog.

  1. I hope you're finding ways to get some fruits and veggies into your diet. Eggs, soup, almonds, and power bars are healthier choices than burgers and fries for sure, but don't forget to add all those greens, reds, blues and oranges! (no, not Skittles either) here's a suggestion...try the southwest salad at McD's. Yup, you read that right...it is sooooo yummy. I had Weight Control cinnamon oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries and 3 scrambled egg whites today if you're looking for a good breakfast to try =)
    I can hear how determined you are....but starving isn't the answer! xoxo yo mama

  2. Did you think I wouldn't notice you sneaking in that LIE about winning at tennis? Not only did you not win, you got SPANKED! Liar! LIAR! I'm not a witch, I'm your roommate, but now I'm not even sure I want to be THAT anymore!
