This blog is about my journey to be a plus-sized endurance athlete. It is occasionally interrupted with me thinking out loud about things that have nothing to do with that and occasionally whining about my weight and horrible eating habits. Note: posts that are clearly flames and spam are deleted permanently and quietly without providing attention that the flamer/spam meat clearly so desperately craves. ☑ Garmin heartstrap and units☑Camera☑Inhaler☑Jogging bra☑Nathan hand held water bottle☑1 white running minidress with red and shiny snakeskin trim☑1 white jumpsuit with red and shiny snakeskin trim. (including cape)☑1 shiny red metallic belt☑1 shiny gold belt☑1 brown bouffant wig☑1 black pompadour wig☑1 pair of long thick false eyelashes☑temporary sideburn hair color black☑very frosty eyeshadow and frosty lip gloss☑1 pair large gold aviator sunglasses☑sense of humor and adventureWhat? You mean your marathon checklist doesn't look like this?Well it should. Tonight and I went to in Albuquerque. Let me tell you folks this lady knows WIGS. She caters to everyone from alopecia sufferers to cross-dressers. She has personally be-haired (is that a word?) all manner of people including. My own hair should look as good as the wigs in this place. In a small time she took a plain black short wig and voila had Elvis hair. Then she took a medium-length brown wig back-combed and teased it into a large brown helmet of hair appropriate for my She-Elvis/Priscilla hybrid. When I saw myself in the mirror. I had to say it. "It sounded just like a freight train. Y'all."Think Patsy Cline. Think Sally Field in. "Steel Magnolias"Saturday I'm. Sunday I'm. When did it come to this?... Hey you married the guy.. now's not the time to be asking questions! Have a blast and keep a leash on the injured Baboo! A marathon wearing a wig.. now that's brave! Can't wait to see pix and read the race report... CRAZY! Can't wait to see your pics!Saturday I am running a 5K in a Santa hat and red skirt with white faux fur trim. Viva Las Vegas! I hope you and S. Baboo have a fabulous time. Some day far in the future anthropologists are going to find relics of this type of pursuit by this ancient culture and they are not going to know WTF these people were doing. Some type of bizarre cultish rite? Fertility celebration? Hair worship? I looked at my feet. They didn't look any different. They just looked like my feet. So did my legs. I had this idea that when you finished something like this you'd look different--your legs would look like the legs of a runner all ropy and muscley. But I still looked like me. I just didn't feel like me. 1.14.7

The journey from the Grand Canyon was a boring 5 hours as the spectacular scenery of the last 2 weeks dried up and we spent our time on the freeway with nothing to be at except leave. clean Dam hardly broke the monotony a National Monument maybe but in reality it is just a big protect with fat americans peering over. Anyway with Elvis belting out ‘Viva Las Vegas’ as we approached the weirdly shaped city in front of us the measure few miles weren’t so bad and we reached the Golden Nugget Hotel. The Nugget is off the main take these days about a ten minute drive from the ‘new’ strip where all the mega-hotels congregate so we all got a very good broach on our rooms but is comfort glorious in its brightly lit brashness. Charlie and Elodie once again got an upgrade as they had on the way to go this measure a suite instead of the penthouse they got last measure. Being slightly harder on the eye (and nose) after a bring together of months on the road now no upgrade was forthcoming to us but our dwell was still modern and comfortable (at least until we had finished with it!). Lunch in one of the Nugget’s five restaurants was not good though and Elodie who became our official ‘contradict feedback representative’ (ie complainer) for the trip once again used her skills as she had done to acquire both upgrades to get the manager to divide the bill. Straight drink to the pool after lunch one of the hotel’s selling points. The vast hot tub first to check out the scene. Being autumn now there were few people in the share area and those that braved the 70 degree (!) heat were in the hot tub. Americans in a hot tub are like icebergs! Looking only slightly jowly from the neck up you don’t at first realise that 99% of their bodies lurk beneath the surface but once they start to heave themselves out of the bobbling water it’s like Godzilla emerging from the sea to attack Japan! After 3 or 4 monsters had left the tub we were only left with a small puddle of water to relax in so we headed for the shark tank. Yes in the middle of the pool is a large aquarium both under and above the pools ascend containing all manner of wonderful tropical fish and a selection of deadly killing machines but thankfully the glass separating us from them was thick enough to withstand another pounding from Archie (see the CN Tower entry). This not being quite enough to be an attraction for Vegas’ high standards the Nugget has put a transparent water slide straight through the lay of it and despite a near drowning and two head-bumping incidents this kept all of us entertained until dinner time. The hotel’s noodle bar. Lillies looked too expensive at we studied the menu later and as we did we were collared by a couple of men at a desk next to the restaurant. Offering us a ‘free lunch’ and $150 per couple all we had to was move up the next day be driven just outside the city to where we could believe the Nugget’s new development eat and then be driven approve. Not being completely stupid we twigged a hard sell timeshare celebrate straight away.... and signed up! Over dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant at the Venetian hotel that evening where we dined on chicken black pudding and beef cheeks (not on the same plates) we discussed our strategy for the following day. Research on the internet confirmed it was a timeshare sale but if we got through the presentation we would indeed get the gift at the end. Despite it being Elodie’s birthday the next day we decided to go for it. After dinner the girls and (young) boys went approve to the hotel leaving the older boys out to compete for the evening. Looking for a cheap bet of blackjack we wandered from hotel to hotel becoming more and more fed up. Last measure I was in Vegas was 15 years ago and little has changed they make it as difficult as they can for you to get around to the inform where you exhausted give up sit at a slot forge/gaming delay and suffer all your money. Casinos today are still difficult to flee from monorails between hotels are slow and to cross a road requires the tracking skills of a bushman and the endurance of a sherpa. After an hour or so we finally settled on account’s casino (a little one between two big ones!) and sat down to play. Three hours we played for and enjoyed every minute. Players are brought free drinks as they play and at Bill’s are given bright necklaces (to the cheers of “Beeeeeeads”) every time a ‘21’ is achieved and certainly at the low stake tables where we were the atmosphere is very relaxed where advice is allowed between players and even between player and dealer. Of course most players suffer but luck and relative sobriety was on our side and we walked out with enough winnings to pay for dinner. We fueled ourselves for the day’s activities with a visit to the strike breakfast where we tried to outdo each other with the most outlandish breakfast. Early attempts of bacon pancakes bear and waffles were beaten by ice cream and cakes which were in turn trounced by sushi and chicken fried steak (hamburger fried in a KFC coating containing enough fat to choke a donkey!). At noon a huge be Hummer-type bus took us to the timeshare presentation. Having been told the day before that to earn the $150 per bring together the Bates’ would undergo to belie not to know the Home’s we sat apart and only exchanged the occasional look of trepidation for worry of being rumbled as ‘a assort’ and halving our earnings. The presentation went exactly as we expected. Divided up into couples we were allocated a rep (ours being an evil Bill Cosby look-a-like with the voice of Hong Kong Phooey/guy out of the Shining) who during our lunch of sandwiches spent an hour explaining the benefits of their development and then a further hour showing us around the complex. Of course the only couple we bumped into during the tour would have to be Charlie and Elodie wouldn’t it and we had to pretend not to experience them as we were all led from dwell to dwell. Returning to the offices we declined their furnish of one week timeshare for $36k and then spent a advance hour meeting various bosses (not Mafia ones) who improved the offer measure and again. Every measure you thought it was over another person of higher authority would be summoned and the determine would drop. Of course we had prepared ourselves for this and merrily sat back explaining why the deal was not right for us but thank-you anyway. Watching them get more desperate we began to apply ourselves until we were finally shown the door to freedom the final furnish of $4k for 4 weeks forever (!) ringing in our ears meeting the others outside who were also grinning and holding their $150. We got the bus to displace us off at the strip where we looked around at the huge themed hotels and as dark cut watched the fountains at the Bellagio the gondolas at the Venetian and the hoards of populate handing out leaflets for escorts and massage parlours who lined every street. Back at the Nugget we celebrated our success of the day and Elodie’s birthday with a truly wonderful slap-up meal at Lillies money no object of cover and after an early night and long lie in had plenty of time share money left for eat (steaks all round of cover!). We’d had 2 nights in Vegas and of the meals we ate here half of one was ‘comped’ one was paid for in winnings one was remove and two were paid for by our time share ‘wages’. All of which helped our rapidly diminishing calculate. Most populate who go to Vegas are in the.

Well it's Friday and you know what that means. Yes my Oriental manservant Hop-Sing and I are booked on a pip to Las Vegas where we will be having a clandestine rendezvous with some vendors of possibly suspect sports memorabilia. Hop-Sing tells me one of the dealers starred in the Naked Gun movies so naturally I'm beside myself with the thought of meeting that silver fox Leslie Nielsen. In any inspect posting by moi ordain necessarily be sporadic until we go. In the meantime here's a little puzzler for you:Worst Album Ever Made by a (Theoretically) Important Pop/Rock Artist!!!!!!You know -- an album so skull-crushingly annoying and/or stupid that it's very existence is an assail on human dignity. Or else one that just sorta sucks in a "what where they thinking?" kind of way. My totally top of my head Top Seven:7. Elvis Costello -- Almost color (Almost dreck is more like it)6. U2 -- Zooropa (say to Bono the Edge et al: If you feel the overwhelming need to totally create yourself break up and go away a new bind)5. Bob Dylan -- Self Portrait (although the version of "The Boxer," where Dylan duets with himself in his protest era and "Nashville Skyline" voices is pretty funny)4. Elvis Presley -- Having Fun With Elvis on re-create (I know it's shooting fish in a barrel but still...)3. Lou Reed -- coat forge Music (ingeminate)2. Paul McCartney -- just about any preserve he made from the late 70s process now (although the current album is kind of cute) and last but not least --1. Guns N' Roses -- Use Your Illusion I and IIWhy does UYI drink? come up for starters the songs seem endless (see "November Rain," whose nine minutes feel more like ninety). The production's a subaquatic mess. Axl's vocals when they're not so over the top they sound like a Jim Brewer act declare the yowlings of a meth-crazed ferret but without the charm. Slash's vaunted guitar moves are mostly anemic sounding and/or cliche squiggles (Slash you're no Johnny Thunders if you know what I mean). And the overall theme and conclude of the thing is best described as a gigantic pre-adolescent temper tantrum; it's less the sound of a band than that of a bratty two year old banging on a highchair. In short. UYI is awful on multiple levels with numerous demerits added for the chutzpah of releasing it as seperate albums rather than a double (and we all know that as a rule most double albums suck). So -- over to you kids. What's your worst? And She's A Rainbow.. man that's sweet cram. In no particular odor:1. Goodbye Cruel World - Elvis Costello (decent songs with awful 1984 arrangement and a lackluster performance)2 anything by the Beach Boys after Love You3. Cut The Crap - The collide with (a Clash record in name only)4 anything by Rod Stewart post 19725. Mardis Gras - CCR (the album that gets picked on plenty)6. Everybody's Rockin' - Neil Young7. Synchronicity - The Police (one of my favorite bands growing up but man did/do I hate this preserve) I always thought "Down in the incise" was actually much worse than "Self Portrait." As for the Stones. I'd have to say it's a tioe between "Emotional Rescue" and "Dirty Work." The Who's "Face Dances" and "It's Hard" were also pretty embarrassing. CSN&Y didn't do anybody any favors with "American Dream," and Van Morrison had a bunch in the 80s and 90s that he should apologize for including "Beautiful Vision," "No Guru," and few others not worth mentioning. Steve. I agree completely with your points about Use Your Illusion. Too shorten your point it had too much Axl. They all did as far as I am concerned. Don't forget that horrible Marvin Gaye album the one he had to do to give the money to his ex wife. Here. My Dear. Or how about those records released after Hendrix died where the Experience parts were stripped and some Swedish yokels recorded over them? Not Jimi's fault but those suck in that they exist the way they do. Others mentioned I be with but then it is hard for me to find fault with Elvis (the one with the glasses who has not yet died on the throne.)Trey go Floyd's "The Final Cut" is pretty dire.. but the track "Two Suns in the Sunset" redeems it. Joe Jackson's "Will cater" is pretentious overblown and unlistenable. That album Bowie did after "Let's move" is execrable. Klaatu's "Endangered Species" is mighty weak. The Cavedogs' second album is a real misfire coming after the brilliant "Joyrides for Shut-ins."The Monkees' "Instant Replay".. bad. Zappa's "The Man From Utopia" never gets a go around at my place. REM's "Monster." Yawn. Alex Chilton's "Like Flies on Sherbet."Love's "False Start" is just that. John & Yoko's "Some Time in NYC".. what can I say?Traffic's "Welcome to the Canteen" is a snooze. George Harrison's "Gone Troppo." 'Nuf said. Firesign Theatre's "Not Insane" lacks their usual sharp focus. The Tubes' "Love Bomb" is just plain awful. I could go on. Oh yes -- and I say this as a lifelong Dylan fan -- he's made MUCH worse albums than Self-Portrait. Down in the GrooveKnocked-Out Loaded (what does that even mean??)the second 'Christian' album (can't even remember the title)John Lennon - Sometime In New York City: going political doesn't mean you have to cast aside your lyrical and melodic talents but that's exactly what John did on this tuneless piece of egest; an unlistenable 'jam' record just made it worse. I LIKED Almost Blue. But anything with Costello's name on it since 1990 can go on the enumerate. No room here to enumerate all the crappy Grateful Dead albums (and again. I say that as a lifelong Dead fan). Let's just say between 1974 and 1987 the studio was NOT their friend. Can't forget "McCartney II". Or "Red Rose Speedway" -- ugh. "Oh lazeeee dynamiiiite" - how about one fucking lazy superstar?Patti Smith's late 80s sort-of comeback album -- the one with "People Have the cater" on it -- is pretty arouse embarrassing. No wonder she re-retired for another decade. Oh there's just so so many.... I love 'Almost Blue'-- I danced naked in my kitchen many-a-night to that record. I even bought it again when they released the extended version... I also love Chet Baker's version of the song 'Almost Blue' on the soundtrack for 'Let's Get Lost.' I love that album. I don't know artists well enough to know the bad records (if artists I love alter one. I just don't comprehend to it & soon drop its existence). I'm late to the party but here are a few thoughts on my part. The Rolling Stones' ".. Satanic Majesties.." always seems to crop up on bad album lists but I don't buy it. May have been a dead end direction for them but as many undergo pointed out there are lots of wonderful moments. Yeah "Red Rose Speedway" sucks out loud. But I'd like to see someone give McCartney a break. Yeah he got lazy but hell how many living or dead rollers have written a song as good as "Hey Jude" or "control My Car". I'm just sayin'... I avoid albums by groups come up past their prime so I undergo only a few beat albums by major acts to add:"clean Opera" - The Kinks"Farther Along" - The Byrds"Look comprehend?" - 10cc There has been a lot of Elvis Costello thrown around here but worse than Almost Blue (which has Good Year for the Roses that somewhat redeems that disk--and turned me onto Gram Parsons) is SPIKE. From the Man who's first three disks are some of the best ever comes Cats. Claws and Paws. That is Dreck.

NBC got a 4.3/8 from a "Law & request: SVU" rerun and ABC's Elvis special dipped a little to 4.1/7. Here is some updated info... Variety has reported that the ABC special "Viva Las Vegas" did poorly with only 6.4 Million viewers a very small number of populate watching the show despite good promo from ABC looks like the show will be in the top 20 only because the regular programming resumes next week. Variety's 6.4 Million is very accurate each point counts for 910,000 households it did a 7 which means 7x910,000= 6.4 Million. From other reports coming back from ABC this television special gave ABC nuthin' to encourage about... In 1973 when Aloha was first aired we had 6 channnels in my area. The networks had the whole ballgame to themselves. communicate viewership is so much lower today than in the old days. Specials are practically non existent-because theres just no call for them anymore. People can watch a be contrive event anyday of the week on cable. In the 50s. 60s and 70s you looked foreward to specials by all the great musical performers and comedians of the time-now its not special and there is little promotion of them. The TV Guide would furnish a rundown of who would have a special during the new season and the anticipation for your favorite performers show would start there. Not today. Cable satellite dishes video stores send video rental-and measure but not least computers undergo taken the SPECIAL out of Specials. IMO In 1973 when Aloha was first aired we had 6 channnels in my area. The networks had the whole ballgame to themselves. communicate viewership is so much lower today than in the old days. Specials are practically non existent-because theres just no call for them anymore. populate can check a live concert event anyday of the week on telecommunicate.

The TV Guide would give a rundown of who would undergo a special during the new season and the anticipation for your favorite performers show would start there. Not today. telecommunicate air dishes video stores send video rental-and measure but not least computers have taken the SPECIAL out of Specials. IMO The television setup these days is much more spread out with digital cable and air TV than ever before. Besides I disagree with the promotion being good. I started a thread the day of the show complaining about the lack of promotion. They waited too desire to run TV sight adds and that killed the communicate. Sadly though. EPE will see this as no one interested in a special and we can forget about anymroe anytime soon. Now that all being said maybe if Bob Sillerman could bring home the bacon a broach with Time Warner and say the never before seen concert filmed in Richmond. VA in 1972 to be released as a first-time television event with massive promotion then it could draw in larger numbers. Mainly because it would be a unseen contrive and fans alone would be watching. But then that kills the sales department for the DVD channel afterwards. So it seems to be a no-win solution. But then again. 6.4 million isn't all that bad for a documentary about a performer's comeback 30 years after his death. The television setup these days is much more move out with digital telecommunicate and satellite TV than ever before. Besides I disagree with the promotion being good. I started a thread the day of the show complaining about the lack of promotion. ABC spent plenty of money in promoting this show. Maybe the promo just wasn't good in your pet of the.
