Tuesday update

Some updates for past posts.

ABC Channel 6 said there was 40,000 participants for the race for the Cure.  A lot closer to my estimate. However, many people didn't participate in the actual race so maybe it was over 100K. Who knows. I just went to the Koman website and they are only half way to their fund raising goal.

Everybody has weighed in for the birthday pound-for-pound challenge. Participants are the birthday boy Dave, and siblings Barb and Sharon, and my niece Bonnie. I stopped at Bottom Dollar Store and used the first of my $10 of $20 purchase coupons to buy food for the food bank. I bought three each of everything. Guess we are feeding three families—large brown rice, large canned chicken and tuna, jar peanuts and dried lentils, split peas and white beans.

I opened up my journal that I track my exercise in and realized I haven't written anything down since April 24. Not even race times. I have to look back on the blog to find them. I haven't even taken my BP!  Actually if the truth be told, all of 2011s journal entries are spotty. I've also not really kept up with the Walk with Walgreens program.  I guess all that feeds into my "i don't give a crap" attitude I've had. Today that changes.

Sunday is Yoga on the Stairs of the art museum in Philly. Nearby is Trader Joe's, and on South Street is a Whole Food.  Not to mention the reading Terminal Market and the Italian Market. We will shop till we drop. I've already downloaded directions from one place to the other.  Need to put the cooler in the car.  Gluten girl will be stocking up and I will be dreaming of things I want but won't buy. It's a long story.

the 10 pound challenge

I'm sure my brother David never thought his birthday party would turn into a competition. It has. Just don't tell him!

My sister Barb called from Louisville Thursday night and said I wanna lose 10 pounds also. Then my sister Sharon joined. And if I not mistaken maybe Bonnie will give it a try. Bonnie might win. She's really competitive.

So there's no real prize except an atta boy. So I'm going to donate 10 pounds of food in the winners name, and 10 pounds of food in the birthday boys name to the foodbank. A different take on the Pound for Pound Challenge.

Speaking of the birthday boy, when he had his last party a decade ago, we gave toys for the local Toys for Tots. Wonder where the presents go this year?
