Lake Placid

So we headed up to Lake Placid on a rainy, nasty day. We knew the Bruins were up there practicing for Thurs. Night against Montreal, but didn't really expect to see them. Surprise!!!! they were in the practice rink behind the main Miracle on Ice rink. We couldn't get into the rink and we didn't have a great camera (in other words our cell phone) but you can see some of the players here: Timmy Thomas, Zdeno Chara, and Lucic namely. The practice was fairly low key and it looked like all players were there. Mostly they were doing breakaway drills and free skating circles while we were ther. Unreal how tall Chara is, And Timmy had his trademark smile whenever he lifted his mask. We hoped to see them about town after practice, but alas no such luck. I guess Yesterday they did the downtown thing. Many of the shopowners indicated that they were very nice and open to meeting their fans. Funny connection in that out waitress at luch had a daughter who played goalie for UVM during the Chelsea Furlani years. (She still didn't give us a deal though)

So here are some of the nasty grainy pictures we took.

Bad news

Some Horrific new from up the road. The helicopters were a constant yesterday afternoon overhead. The river is absolutely raging down the dam. http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20110412/NEWS02/110412024/Essex-man-presumed-dead-Milton-boating-accident?odyssey=tabtopnewstextFRONTPAGE

Get outta town

We got up early today and headed down to Quechee. Had a nice lunch. Visited our usual haunts... Simon Pierce, Antique Mall, the gorge etc... Then home through Killington and Rutland with a stop at a Ben and Jerry's (today is our splurge day of the week). As we arrived in Shelburne at around 5:00 we get a call from Beth's folks. Guess where they were? Yup sitting in our driveway. Sometimes you wish you had done the laundry and dishes Friday night instead of saying "ahhh we'll do em later" Anyways, we are enjoying their company tonight. Pics to come.

interesting read

So after a shocking visit to the Dr. a month ago and finding out what my weight was (not sharing) then watching a video of me at school, I have decided it's time... Time to get serious about getting back in shape. No snacking after dinner, no binge eating, making sure I get active at least once for a minimum of 1/2 hr every day. We'll see how it goes.

I've been reading through the book here and it is extremely interesting. Ultimately it gets to a high protein, low carb diet. Primarily full of veggies and proteins (meats, eggs, fish, yogurt etc.) While it is interesting, I'm not sure how strict I'll follow it as it advocates no fruits (fructose is supposed to be seriously bad say's the author.) Personally I think this is the big area that seems unsound. It also mentioned how any breads or rice = bad. Even whole grain, Wild or brown. Again, I don't think this is entirely healthy to cut these out totally. Ultimately my hope is that it starts with small steps. Wish me luck.
