First off, Megan got up on Friday night and we made the 10:15 viewing of the Wrestler at Bethesda Row. I miss that theater. It has so many good movies. I need to pay more attention to the movies showing there. I'll add that to the list of resolutions. I highly recommend it. Marisa Tomei and Mickey Rourke were both amazing and, who knew, but Marilyn Manson's girlfriend was in it (Evan Rachel Wood). Don't go see it if you can't handle violence and nudity tho.... definitely a lot of both.
Onward with the liquidation of my obesity...
Saturday...
I got up WAAAAY earlier than I would have but it was for a good cause: my first experience watching my buddy Brian coach high school hockey. Carly kept me company in the surprisingly too-cold-for-my-liking rink at Cabin John. We had Starbucks to keep us warm for a while. I had my regular.
I was supposed to go to a house warming party at BJ's and Lisa's in Gaithersburg and was all siked about it. Too bad I thought it was at night and it was really at 1pm. DOH. I had already made plans to help move some things out of my grandmother's old apartment at Riderwood Village (she's now in an assisted living unit). My Christmas present to her and the rest of that side of the family was to work on digitizing all of grandmom's photos. I have about 12 boxes full with um. Needless to say I'll be sharing many of them as time progresses.
Also managed to get some decent furniture that I remember from my childhood that she couldn't fit in the new place. My prized possession from the search was her old table-top Asian lantern lamp. Its a perfect desk light.
Came home and had a Indian veggie burger from Trader Joe's on half a pita. Megan then went off babysitting (a job I'm glad Im not a part of), and I caught up on BSG, True Blood, Dirty Jobs, and watched the NHL All-star Skills competition while doing a good amount of laundry. During this time I was snacking on pretzel crisps from T.J.'s (insanely low calories!!) and some salsa. Megan came home at like 11:30 but I was already passed out.
Sunday...
Got up at 7:30 or so and went to a spinning class. Of the three I've been to, this was the first with a different instructor. His name was Bernie. I was expecting a big athletic black dude. I got a 60 y/o spindly white dude. He played a couple of P!nk songs and some Black Eyed Peas but for the most part his music selection sucked, there were awkward breaks between tunes, you couldn't understand a word of what was coming out of his mouth, and what you could wasn't enough to really keep me engaged. I ended up pushing myself through it harder than was intended which was good I guess. Good news is now I know he is always here on Sunday mornings... so I just wont come to them. Bad news is, other than saturday morning (David who is awesome), and Sundays with Bernie, the rest of the classes throughout the week are a random draw of 4 instructors. Guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed I don't end up with him too often.
Came home, took apart and put away the Christmas tree, and ate another veggie burger and 1/2 pita. Ran some errands (grandmom's, Kohls, and SuperFresh) and now here I am getting ready to watch me some NHL All-Star game.
In case you missed it I'll leave you with Alexander Ovechkin's skill shot winner from last night. (BTW they didn't mention it at all but Ovi's a right-handed shooter... he shot this with his left.)
Weigh-In is tomorrow. Keep the fingers crossed for me!
