Updates, Cold, & American Idol

Updates: Had a cold over the weekend; took some time off of walking to get over the cold; had 2 of the busiest days at work thus far; haven't had time to be online in several days.

Last night, I got back to walking. It was hard. I felt really weak when I finished. I don't think I ate enough during the day, probably because I was so busy, I barely noticed I was hungry. But I am proud of myself for walking last night. That is the hardest thing to a fitness program - making yourself start again when life gets in the way. So, hopefully I will be able to walk again tonight.

Last night I was NOT impressed with the guys on American Idol. It is hard to have your own opinion about the songs when you hear the judges' opinions. But I think I can say that I wasn't impressed with the song choices BEFORE the judges said so. We'll see how the girls do tonight. I like American Idol. It is the only reality show I enjoy. Most other reality shows seem so far from reality that is difficult to watch. Who goes on national television to find a boyfriend? Or live with a bunch of strangers? I mean, we all know the real reason they are on these shows - to get publicity! So, it is all so very fake to me. But American Idol is different. There is no pretention because gaining publicity is the whole point of the show. Of course, I fully believe that some of the stuff on American Idol is staged, especially some of those "bad" auditions.
