Another installation of "People I would like to thank"

In this installment of People I would like to thank, the honoree this time is none other than:

Al Gore!! Thank you soo much for inventing Global Warming. I cannot tell you how nice it was to put on my light coat this morning and head to work in 50 degree weather at the end of January. I even opened my sun roof on the way home. I believe all those products you (and me, and all the 80's hair bands) put on your hair over the years helped to make that Ozone hole just a little bigger and for that, I send you all my gratitude. 

He did invent Global Warming, right? And the internet, yes? I wonder if he was able to speed along the Global Warming by use of the internet?? You can do all kinds of whacky stuff with the internet you know...

How did my Weight Warriors do this weekend? I hope you did more of "do what I say" than "do what I do!" I ate pretty well most of the weekend with a slip here and there. But I had a killer workout yesterday. If you have a Wii Fit, you should try this. I did the Free Run: you can chose 10, 20, 30 minutes and it is running in place. Now if you are like me, you would think "Running in place is a cinch! I will go whole hog and do 30 minutes!" What is nice about the Free Run is you can put regular tv on and your Wii remote tells how how far you have gone and how many minutes left. I did the 30 minutes followed by a couple rounds with the hula hoop game. It was a sweaty workout but I didn't think it was that effective.

Until I tried to get out of bed this morning. My legs were screaming at me!! My calves were so sore it was hard getting down the stairs! When I finished the program, it had told me I went 5 miles in the 30 minutes. I took that reading with a huge grain of salt but that also explains why my legs hurt so much this morning.

I got an ok workout in today. I think I was doomed though. Between my legs hurting so much and realizing about 15 minutes into it that my elliptical display has died (I tried 5 different sets of batteries), I was pretty much done for the day.

This week, I want to really focus on portion size and getting effective workouts in. What are your goals this week??

I hope you all had a great start to your week. I am off Friday and cannot wait to do whatever I want. I am sure it will involve grocery shopping but I need to figure out some fun things to do, too.
