Workout Diary: 02OCT09 Slow, Steady Progress

It’s been more than a month, still working out 3-4X per week and still not eating/drinking sugary stuff. Feel great, should do weights more, but losing a steady 2 pounds per week. Weigh in on Thursdays: started at 236 (YES, I KNOW, ugh) and now at 228. Average 3o-40 mins aerobic per day. Next target acquired: below 220.

PS the iPhone Public Radio app is a big help.

NEED A MIRACLE

@grantimahara and Kari Byron appear at a fundraiser at Rockford’s Coronado Performing Arts Center for the Discovery Center Museum tomorrow. PLENTY of seats available at all prices, but there’s a $10.00 “convenience fee” so may take our chances tomorrow at box office. It’s a nice drive, assuming there’s no tsunamis or anything.

Discovery Center Museum – What’s Happening?

It’s a tough job separating truth from urban legend, but the MythBusters do just that. Each week the Mythbusters team take on several myths and use modern-day science to show you what’s real and what’s fiction. Just like the great educators at Discovery Center, they do more than explain how something may or may not be scientifically possible. Through trial and error they actually demonstrate it!

Behind the Myths will be held at the Coronado Performing Arts Center Saturday, October 3 at 3:00 p.m. The dynamic duo will spend 90 minutes talking about their exploits on the show. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions. And laughs will abound as audience members enjoy never-seen outtakes from the hilarious team of myth-busting superheroes. Prior to the event, there will be a 2:00 p.m. VIP reception. Reserved seats go on sale Friday, May 22 and can be purchased online at www.coronadopac.org or through the Coronado Box Office at 815.968.0595. The Coronado Box Office is open Monday – Friday from Noon to 4:00 p.m. during the summer. Reserved seat prices are $100 (includes VIP seating and reception), $55, $40 and $20.
