I do not like Red Bull


I Do not like red bull

I went for a walk in Capitol Park yesterday at lunch and ran into a team of marketing people. Their product for the day was Red Bull. A friend of mine is shamelessly addicted to these things. I’d only had it once a long time ago so I thought hey – Why not? Seeing how it was free and all. I, being the ever calorie counting girl that I am, chose the sugar free variation of the drink. I have to say that it’s just about the worst tasting thing I’ve come across yet. It was comparable to gritty, fizzy cough syrup. Yuck! Not on my top ten list of favorite things to drink. I don’t know how you do it Michael!

In other news I recently joined the 21st century and purchased a small MP3! I know I know. Everyone has either an iPod or a MP3 player. I guess I’m just not a gadget/technology girl. I didn’t get a DVD player until 2002, never owned a disc man, I use my cell phone *gasp!* until it breaks. I doubt I’ll ever own an iPhone until they cost less than $75. I’m actually pretty excited about my purchase. I’ve been going to the gym after work for the last few weeks and it’s been nice to be able to plug the head phones in and tune everyone else out. There’s nothing more annoying than working out on the elliptical machine and having Joe blow try to start a conversation.

The biggest Loser

Our bible study started a “Biggest Loser” competition about 3 weeks ago. For those of you who don’t know the concept behind “The Biggest Loser” it’s basically a weight loss motivation program. You take a group of people and you compete to see who loses the most weight in the designated time period. The results are calculated based on the percentage of your body weight you lose. Each person puts in $20 and at the end the winner takes the cash. So far I’m winning! I didn’t think I had any chance at all. I only have a total of 13 lbs to lose. So far I’ve lost 5.5. Hopefully I can keep it up and don’t totally blow it with all the Mexican food I’m going to eat when I go to Denver next week.

I have a couple of prayer request for everyone to keep in mind. #1 there is a lady in our office whose mother was recently made aware of a brain aneurysm. She is scheduled for surgery in the next 3 weeks. #2 there is a lady in my office who found out she has a brain tumor. She is having surgery next week.
