Today’s weight: 144.6, up 1.6 WTF pounds from yesterday. This is a false positive and particularly unfair since I can’t really eat much until the root canal infection clears up. Never you mind.
Today I am grateful for: 1) Getting to see my dad, brother and sister-in-law for Dad’s birthday. 2) Listening to the “Planet Money” people on “This American Life” explaining the European debt crisis and why we should care. NOW I GET IT. I love it when people can make a confusing issue comprehensible. 3) Watching Meryl Streep win her Oscar.
No gym today–mouth too tender to bounce around–so no gym monitor gleanings, but here’s some interesting stuff with the necessary Oscar inflection:
* Let’s look at: Pretty Oscar dresses. Milla Jovovich’s is my fave. Colin Firth’s sweetie looks like she stopped at the Boob Fill-Up Station but the pump was dry.
* Sacha Baron Cohen: Poured “Kim Jong-Il’s ashes” all over poor Ryan Seacrest, who seemed less than delighted.
* Behind the scenes: Top 5 backstage peeks at the Oscars.
* Shakespeare had it right: Remember “Rosemary is for remembrance,” via Ophelia? Scientists are on the trail.
* Doctors die differently: Ken told me about this interesting WSJ piece about how doctors make different end-of-life choices than what they recommend to their patients.
* I’ll stick with a watch or more bike gear: Pamela Druckerman of “Bringing Up Bebe” fame wrote in Marie Claire about arranging a menage a trois for her hubby’s birthday. Okay, I know this isn’t to do with weight or fitness, but WTF? And is it really that weird for women to wear earrings to bed?
* Just saved you 3 hours: Oscar highlights. Meryl Streep, you are the classiest.
xxoo,
Betsy

149.7! I’m on a good run right now. Pausing, Savoring, and listening to my body when it has had enough food.
I hoop with Andrea and Angle with our LED hoop’s, totally forgot it was Oscar time. I also had pizza last night so I am especially happy about today number!
I’m guessing Colin Firth is a fanny man! And Dori and I will have to are wrestle for Penelope’s dress. I think Jlo’s it’s acid cut velvet. And what was Sondra thinking?
I agree with you on Sondra. Why don’t these people consult us first?
And the 170s go to…ME! 179.4 today! I’d like to thank the members of the Good Ship Bitch…
I loved the Oscars, especially since I watched them this morning, skipping through the less interesting stuff. For my money, I’ll take Penelope Cruz’s dress or (and I never like her choices) Cameron Diaz’s. I thought J Lo’s dress was awful – those pleats!
Gratitude:
- Deciding on a kitchen table to buy!! Retail decisions are hard for me. This was a big win.
- A brisk walk with a good friend
- The smile on Sarah’s face when I reminded her how much she had learned over the past year–she is one proud second grader!
Well since Penelope is shot and I think you’re tall… the dress is mine!
Short not shot.
Yeah for the 170′s! By the BYT Bylaws, if you hit the weight for three days in a row, it is officially your bitch!
143.something – up 2 or more pounds from a wild weekend of celebratory eating. One of our sons got engaged to the most amazing person – we just thinks that she’s the best!!
Gratitude:
-Pretty Oscar dresses
-Big win for The Artist – my favorite, too.
-Cirque du Soleil – so amazing on the Oscars last night. WOW, just wow!
146.1 Up .8# but do you know how much really good food is available in Las Vegas!?! Great time had by all and I would especially recommend Fellini’s Italian Restaurant at the Stratosphere. Back to Bay Area and I’m sicker than a dog. I’m very allergic to cigarette smoke and all the casinos allow smoking. Thought my Sudafed allergy pills would keep me from having a big reaction but no such luck. Sore throat, coughing, no voice for probably 5 days. Oh well, I don’t eat much when I don’t feel good. LOL
Oh, poor you! Feel better soon!
