In Search of My Body....Not the One I ATE! Vol. 5: Goddesses are Always on Top!

Ok, Lite Beer. I have done the test. Corona Lite! Yes, get the lite! 98 calories (or is it 108? Right around 100). But here's the thing. Lite beers are lite because in order to cut calories, they also have to reduce alcohol content. But Corona Lite has the highest alcohol content of the light beers and is still just about 100 calories. Perfect. Regular Corona is something like 5.1% and Lite is like 4.9% so basically no real difference.

Add a lime and YUM city.

I had no idea corona lite had that much alcohol! I always figured lite beer was 3.2 beer. I once had to attend a field test out in the middle of freaking nowhere at dugway proving grounds in Utah and all they sell there is 3.2 beer or less. And the liquor store is only open like one hour a week. I about FREAKED out!! no
happy hour either.

Here is the info:

Corona Corona Light 4.5% 109 calories
Corona Corona Extra 4.6% 148 calories

from: http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php

So you can see there is almost no difference in the two, other than less calories!

 

[3DisneyKids]

And if calories are more important, then Beck's Light. Only 64 calories and 3.8%.

Great website! Blue moon, 171 calories?? I love blue moon. And have been known to drink 5 or 6 at time. Even guiness only has 125 calories!!

Bands. My two least favorite bands are Nickelback and Coldplay. I could go on and on about both of them. Both very popular, both sell a lot of records, etc. I think Chad Kroger is trying to rip off the 80's, in a bad way, and Chris Martin is a pompous poser. Honestly. There you go. And that's me being nice. I've got some great analogies for both bands (Chris Martin thinks he's Bono fronting Radiohead) but in the end, I just think they are hacks.

Love 'Fix You'. Dislike Chris Martin with a passion. What is that man on. Hes full of his own self-importance.
Bono did an interview on the Radio over here a few days ago - called Chris Martin a 'not very nice name beginning with W'. Made me laugh!

You know, many people seem to confuse talking openly and being crude. I talk openly most of the time, but, I try to keep away from being crude. We're classy, there's no doubt.

I love to talk openly, about anything!

I have a crazy taste in music. I will listen to just about anything, with the exception of Simply Red. I like them as much as I like Rutger Hauer.

Facebook people - Im on there, you should find me! Im Kats friend on there

I wish I liked it. But to me, it tastes like club soda (which I hate) with a shot of beer in it.

I don't really like Corona much either.

I like pale ales, ipas, darker beers... but not all the way to stout.

Busy day here! I miss a LOT when I work

(and yes, that was for you Roddy)

Thanks Paula

Nancy--I am sure there will be SOME pics. Ok, the truth? I am *really* excited about getting marked! Like, that is what they do for REAL triathletes. So I will definitely have lots of pics of me with my numbers written on. Since I am solo (not part of a relay team, etc.), I will get marked on my upper arm and on my thigh/quad.

Ok. I just about fell over. In our house, when we talk of someone being "marked" it has an entirely different meaning. ENTIRELY. You just caught me completely off gaurd there

I suppose the positive, today is my weigh in day, and i'm down 4.5 lbs this week!

For the weight loss! Hope you feel better soon!

Nancy and LisaPR--for the love of God, women, STOP talking about having to pee outside during a race! Liz and Lyz will NEVER do the Princess Half with us next year if they think they will have to squat!

Oh. What I *meant* to say was there are sparkling clean bathrooms all along the way. The attendants hand you a warm towel after you've washed your hands, and they provide you with fabulous perfumes with which to spritz before heading out, so that you are always at your best whilst on the course

Today, the medical industry has set its weight guidelines according to the waist-to-hip-ratio method, which is a much more accurate way of arriving at an ideal goal weight. Follow these steps to find yours:

Gonna try that.

BMI - my husband has (at last measurement, and if anything he's gained muscle since) ...has 11% body fat (freak. I know.) He's 5'11" and about 180 lbs. BMI scale says he's obese.

Mornings without coffee, unthinkable.

Yes, but you do have to remember I'm a first-thing-in-the-morning exerciser. Otherwise, coffee would be priority #1

Gracious. You healthy people eat things I've never even heard of. Seriously, I just imagine me sitting in the field eating hay.

So I highly recommend going to a Champion outlet, if you have one, and looking at what they have. The Target ones are just not enough for me - again, they might be stretched out, but for now they are only for yoga or weights.

Champion makes many "levels" of their bras. The ones at Target are great for what they are. But, taking into consideration the price-point that they are looking for - the Target ones are not the top of the line.

Glad you found one that does the trick!

And now, a question. Does anyone have a water bottle they adore? I am in the market for a new one. And I want to LOVE it.

For running or regular use?

FROM ONE YEAR AGO TODAY....

His TER ical

But why did I want to kick Kat's @ss???

Peeing in public is an art that is misunderstood by many. It takes skill, stealth and a good lookout person.

But when you are REALLY good, you don't even need the lookout

So we are off to WDW for a couple nights tomorrow.

Congrats on the loss. Have fun at WDW. I'll be jealous.

But Corona Lite has the highest alcohol content of the light beers and is still just about 100 calories. Perfect. Regular Corona is something like 5.1% and Lite is like 4.9% so basically no real difference.

Ah. More "bang" for your calorie "buck"

First point, Fair enough.

Second point, .

Third point, would also like to know the context of said @ss-kicking... (threw that one in for you, R).

Yeah, right straight to your hips.

 

[3DisneyKids]

NANCY! That was HI LAR IOUS!

And you were kicking Kat's a$$ to help her get to her workouts. See? We have been loving and supportive for over a year now!

Oh yes, lovely washrooms on the course.

And Sunday, in recognition of the tri, it will be pizza and booze for dinner in this house.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Yeah, right straight to your hips.

Sadly you are so right.

What the he!! was I thinking? I even ate some potato chips. I'm going to feel just lovely at my 8:00 beating tomorrow morning. Ah well, serves me right.

NANCY! That was HI LAR IOUS!

<takes a bow>


And you were kicking Kat's a$$ to help her get to her workouts. See? We have been loving and supportive for over a year now!

Oh good. At least it was for something positive! Now she'd probably get all Jackie Chan on me and kickbox my @ss if I threatened her like that!


Friday night, and I think I'm headed to bed soon. Such the party animal I am But I have an 8:00 appointment at the gym with the trainer. I'm going to do my best to keep my mouth SHUT and not tattle on myself for my dietary indescretions tonight. Her beatings are bad enough as it is!

Well in that case.

Liz - are you feeling fine?

Its good stuff... I love the blueberry and the strawberry. Bought the peach to try, but haven't eaten it yet. Enjoy!!!

Liz - Have fun at the concert tonight. Sometimes, the most coolest things happen at concerts when you aren't expecting much. Awesome about the workout goals. We can do five a week together right?

Erika - I agree with Liz - you ARE a triathelte...

Lyz - you little social butterfly... thanks to you I am getting a FB account...

LisaV - awesome on the hip to waist ratio. I don't have any faith in the BMI charts anymore. They are dead to me now... Join me in the mourning of them (or shoule I say celebrating)

Nancy - forgot what I wanted to say to you... darn... it will come to me at some point...

gotta run, the phone is ringing off the hook here. talk to you later

Chobiani is awesome! So yummy and very filling.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Wonders never cease. The world is full of wonder.

So I do it. I sign up for facebook. And I told you "oh none of my good friends are on that". Besides you guys I mean.

So I put in my email connection thingy and practically 90% of them come up. WTH!?!??! Things we obviously don't talk about in life. There was one good friend of gosh 20 years that I said never - never would be on there. And she was

This is so funny to me. Okay, here I come. Lisa is sad and curious and excited cause she just gave in to facebook.

Kat, now I can see kids pics without me begging for them via email. I won't hear just go to FB Lisa again. Hallelujah!

Oh Lisa, you have crossed over to the dark side!

Thank you! Thank you! I really adore my sunglasses head band. I have several of those.


I lost the other quotes, but they were from Liz and Roddy. Couldn't agree more ~ honest open talk and we are not crude. Rock on!

Ok guys, please post some more so I don't have to see my pics.
