Good Morning!
Hard to believe it’s Monday already. Even harder to believe it’s the Monday before my half ironman. Where does the time go?!
The plan this week is to take it easy. It’s my final taper week and I want my legs and arms to be as fresh as possible come Sunday.
I kicked off the week with a little swim in the pool. Nothing strenuous, just some drills to get some pool time in.
- 200 Easy
- 200 Kick board
- 200 Pull buoy
- 200 Breast stroke
- Repeat
Total: 1600
Breakfast was a welcomed bowl of cereal.
- 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crisp
- 1/2 cup Mini Wheats
- 1/2 cup Erewhon Brown Rice Crispies with Berries
- Plain Yogurt
- Plum
- Cinnamon
The sprinkle of cinnamon really made the bowl. Yum.
Emmys
Who watched the Emmys last night?!?!
Unfortunately a lot of my predicted winners lost, but I was happy to see a big win go to Melissa McCarthy from Mike and Molly. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Melissa since her days as Sooki on Gilmore Girls, as well as the shot lived Samantha Who? (am I the only that watched that show). She is hilarious and deserved the win. 🙂

And we can’t talk about the Emmys without discussing the fashion!
Here are a few of my favorites from the evening:

Of course, everyone looked gorgeous and there were only a couple ‘what were they thinking?’s *cough* Gwyneth Paltrow *cough*
Who were your favorites? Any surprises?
So jealous about your swimming! My “pool” is the one at our apartment complex outside but…the 60 degree days + rain mean the swimming season is over 🙁

I love award shows! I was really happy to see Modern Family do well–I find that show hilarious. Kate Winslet was also looking great. She’s gotten so thin!

I only caught a minute of the show and saw Gwyneth Paltrow’s dress- definitely a ‘WTF’ choice!

I love Melissa McCarthy (GG fan here as well!) – but I really think she won for being so awesome on Bridesmaids. I think her her new show is kinda horrible. I WAS really happy that Mad Men won – it’s just such an amazingly awesome show!
Oh – and I loved Sofia Vergara’s dress. Can I have her body, please?
I agree – I think it was definitely due to Bridesmaids. I haven’t really seen her show, but she was top notch in the movie.

I didn’t get a chance to watch, since football was on. But yes, I totally watched “Samantha Who?” I hate how it was just cancelled and nothing was ever resolved. BOO!! Of course, I love that “Modern Family” won! That show is ridiculous! 😀

Great fashion picks! I didn’t tune into the Emmy’s but I really like Amber Riley (from Glee)’s dress!

I LOVE Melissa McCarthy!! I’ve been on a serious Gilmore Girls kick right now – and I LOVED her on Samantha Who? and in Bridesmaids as well. I haven’t seen her new show yet but I’m dying to!

What the f was Juiliana Marguiles wearing? Was it a vase on top of a skirt? I think it may have been. Also? I love Jane Lynch more than ever.
omg so glad you agree that Samantha Who was the best show ever! thanks for reminding me- maybe its on netflix and i cant watch it again . . .
and i think gwyneth just loves to show off her bod- she looks great, but the dress? not so much.

She has an AMAZING body, but I didn’t think that dress did it any justice.
I LOVE melissa – loved her on Gilmore Girls and Samantha Who. She is a woot and I am so glad she won! deserved!
You were for sure not the only person who watched Samantha Who?…my roommate and I loved that show. I also love Melissa McCarthy–she was hilarious in Bridesmaids as well!
Enjoy your taper week before the big day–you deserve it!
I was so excited to see Modern Family do so well…that show is HILARIOUS and I love the interactions between the families. I esp love Sofia Vergara–she cracks me up!

Happy Ironman week 🙂
I thought the overall show itself was a bit dry – but Jane Lynch did a great job hosting!
I thought Lea Michele looked stunning – http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/09/18/lea-michele-emmys-2011-red-carpet/

I, too, was super psyched to see Melissa win! I loved her in Bridesmaids, love Mike & Molly and have always been a Gilmore Girls fan 🙂
My fav dresses were Kate Winslet & Heidi Klum 🙂
I didn’t get a chance to watch. I was a slave to anatomy homework last night. :(. I can’t wait to watch Fashion Police to hear what they think about the outfits.
Good luck in your race! I’m sure you will rock it!

I loved Samantha Who?! It was such a funny show and was sad to see it leave
My “what is THAT?” moment was Juliana Marguiles dress. The bubbley things on it looked odd to me.

Pretty dresses! I just had some cereal with Greek yogurt and it was SO great 🙂
As a fellow Tampa Bay Girl… I saw this Creative Loafing deal today and thought you might be interested! Don’t know if you get these ones or not!

haha – I saw this come through too! 🙂
I loved the part where they pretended it was a beauty pagent – she killed in Bridesmaids!
I can’t believe your race is almost here – eek!

Sofia Vergara looked amazing!!! So happy Modern Family won so many awards!! and i’m bummed Game of Thrones didn’t win best drama.
So it’s obvious to everyone that Samantha Who should not have been cancelled! Did you check out Christina Applegate’s new show? It’s called Up All Night and it’s pretty funny.
I seriously heart Melissa McCarthy. She is hilarious and lovely and I’m glad Bridesmaids sort of catapulted her into more public glory.
That red dress is jaw-dropping!!

I, too, was a victim of Sunday Night Football (in a good way 🙂 )! I do love a red carpet, tho, and checked out the online pics. Sofia Vergara was stunning- her earrings were so pretty – and not matchy matchy
That’s why we invested in two tvs 😉 Still working on two DVRs though…
i loved samantha who! have you seen “up all night”? christina applegate is funny as ever!
you took the words right out of my mouth… ummm, gwenyth — what?!

I haven’t seen it yet, but I have it set to record this week!
LOVE that Peter Dinklage (from Game of Thrones) won best supporting actor in a drama. He is absolutely phenomenal on that show—he definitely deserved it!

LOVED nina dobrev’s dress!!!! it was stunning!

I like the idea of Gwyneth’s dress, but not the execution. As in, I liked the color and sari look, but it was kind of unflattering in the middle.*
