The Master's are coming....

It is time for my annual golf hibernation. Usually during the summer and spring months the hubs forces me in front of the television to watch a sport that is equivalent to watching paint dry. Yes I have watched paint dry, and yes it was more exciting that golf. But that's beyond the point. So here comes Tiger's grand re-entrance to the sport and I use that term loosely. I equate golf to curling. It really has no point...at all! Personally I think it's a little conceited of Tiger to make his grand entrance into one of the "elite" tournaments. I mean I guess when you're ego is the size of his then it's only fair. And what's up with the 90 body guards. Does it really take that many men to scare off some hookers, I mean mistresses...oh same difference. Ok I digress. So either way, the hubs is all excited because the Master's have finally arrived. You would think the way he's been acting that he's about to get a really big present on Christmas morning. So I'm sure this weekend will consist of me cuddled up and sleeping while he watches grown me use a stick to wack a ball. Hmmm, maybe there is something behind it. In the last two years I've watched so much golf, that I can actually now differentiate the players. I can also describe to you a boggey, birdie, and a par. The numbering system actually makes some sense now and I have a few favorite players. I guess that napping thing isn't working ou too well.

So onto my goals for the week. I have successfully cut down to one soda a day and switched to Dr. Pepper. The odd thing is that I've found when I drink it in the morning it makes me full and less likely to eat breakfast. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Honestly I haven't seen my energy level decrease like I thought it would. I've always gotten sleepy in the afternoon so maybe Diet Coke wasn't the wonder drug I thought it was. So let's be honest, I did crack last night and had 1/2 of a diet coke. The taste was awful and honestly I think it might have made me somewhat sick. So now I think I will just stick with my water and Vitamin Water with zero calories! It's new and it's wonderful. It taste the same as the old one just no calories. I don't know how they do it, but hey I'm not hear to ask questions.

Next up on the agenda is the stair climb at Metropolitan Tower for the American Lung Association. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up all 39 floors. Apparently, it's somewhere around 1,000 steps. My trainer thinks I can make it. We'll see how the practice climb goes May 1st. Wohoo! That one's only 16 floors, but I figure if I can make it that far then I can keep pushing myself. I just have to remember, you can do anything you set your mind to...almost.
