Triathlon Barbie, Checking In
27 07 2007So, after today’s events I am hereby Triathlon Barbie. I have a bum right knee that swells and clicks, sore shoulders from poor stroke form, a kinked neck from going to sleep every night with wet hair, razor burned legs because I’m too cheap to go get waxed, am breaking out like a teenager because of all the sweat and suncreen, am sporting a Farmer’s Tan that could rival any Midwesterner, my hair is frizzy from chlorine, my credit card is overwhelmed with charges for fitness apparel, equipment, and race entries, I crave carbohydrates like they are going out of style, my friends are bored with me because all I talk about is exercise, I run slower than molasses, and I just can’t stop because I LOVE IT!
I hereby promise to uphold the Barbie ways which include whining when I feel like it, being bitchy on cue and knowing that NO MATTER WHAT or WHO (yeah even if she is a rich, plastic surgery induced, exercise obsessed, bubble head) comes across your path - that I am Barbie…..beautiful and worthy!!!
Just promise me that I can still be Triathlon Barbie even if I fall apart and have to walk my race? 
Here’s the day today– no exercise because the knee was painful and swelled:
| Food | Points | Points Remaining (out of 24) |
|---|---|---|
| Coffeemate with coffee | 2 | 22 |
| 1/2 plain Bagel | 3 | 19 |
| Z Bar | 2 | 17 |
| Chipotle barbacoa burrito bowl, no cheese | 15 | 2 |
| Love It Sinless Sweet Cream with Brownie | 8 | -6 |
Oops! Didn’t realize Chipotle was SO SO SO bad for me. Darn husband is obsessed. I should have eaten 1/2 a burrito!! Damn. Oh well. I thought I had the points for the ice cream for dinner tonight. Guess I was VERY, VERY wrong. (Guess that explains why I feel so full)
Wish me luck in the open water swim tomorrow morning. I’m gonna need it, because I’m scared!!!
How was the open water swim? Are you going to try the Solana Beach tri? Is that tomorrow?
Chipotle is super sneaky…if you get the burrito bowl with beans and no meat, it’s only 7 or 8 points and a very excellent 7 - 8 points! Can’t wait to hear about the swim!
