$9.25 for a movie? Are you kidding me?
I've been known to hit the theaters from time to time. You know -- need to get away from the house, here 24/7 working and living, so an occasional flick is a welcome change of pace.
So since when is a movie $9.25? Reminds me of that old Dark Side of the Moon song -- "For want of the price, of tea and a slice, the old man died..." Looks like it's the matinee for me. Heck for $9.25 I could rent THREE movies.
Don't mind the old codger as he moans about the price of a movie. Nothing to see here...
BTW I am Legend -- excellent flick. Worth seeing on the big screen. No music for the win. Makes me wonder what I'd do if I was the last man on Earth -- Will got crazy focused and organized, worked out everyday, had a schedule, etc. Me? Guess it would be my chance to travel. Unlimited cars, unlimited fuel.

In case you missed my post a few days back, here's the incredible present RadioHead gave us for New Year's -- a semi-live performance of their new Rainbows album. Enjoy.

Fri. Jan. 4 Workout(s)
Morning:
Power 90 Sculpt 3-4 475 Calories Burned
Lunchtime:
35 Min. Walk 410 Calories Burned
This morning my Mio says I burned 475 calories based on heart rate measurements over the 40-45 mins of the workout. Shame it can't measure my quads or biceps when my weight band bears down on 'em for 15-20 reps of each movement. Not to mention those 10 lunges with 5 squats in the middle of each -- hurts/burns so good!
It's amazing what a true workout *habit* can do to get your butt out of bed.
My alarm goes off at 5:40 a.m. every day, and as soon as it goes off my heart is pumping and I head down the stairs ready to rock. On those rare days when I'm away or decide (stupidly) to skip a workout, man, I feel it. I tend to feel some soreness in my back, or -- honestly -- get a bit of runny nose which lasts all morning. (Usually happens on that Sat. or Sun. morning I tell myself it's OK to sleep in.)
But when I workout, my back feels great and I have no other lame side effects.
Getting my shopping list in order today to have all the right foods in the house to jump into P90X on Monday for Day 1.
Can't wait to bring it!

Thu. Jan. 3 Workout(s)
Morning:
Took my fit test, approx. 40 minutes in all. Worked up a light sweat.
Lunchtime:
Walked 34 minutes, burned 470 calories, stayed between 82% and 66% of my target heart rate.
5-6 PM:
Power 90 Cardio 3-4 WITH Ab Ripper 200
How do I know all this cool stuff? Check out the Mio watch. Like Tony says, we need to be aware of our heart rates to be sure we're training to the best/safest/most effective level. When you get the Mio, you tell it how old you are, what your sex is, your weight, etc.
Based on that baseline of info, here's the thing I like best about it -- before you start your next 7 days of workouts, tell the Mio you want to burn 3500 calories during the next week. (3500 calories equals one pound lost.)
Each time you workout or walk during the new week, START the timer on the watch and press the buttons to take your heart rate. Every few minutes, take your heart rate again. Look at the meter to be sure you're in the green and out of the red. When you're done working out, click STOP.
Mio will tell you how long you worked out, and how many calories you burned, and how far along you are on your goal.
It does a ton of other things, but I've only had the thing for a day. :)
