Not every walk has to be on the treadmill.
Weight Lost This Week: +1 lb.
Weight Loss Still to Go: 5.2 lbs.
So I gained a pound this week, but I’m really not surprised considering I ate about 200 slices of apple pie, 400 oatmeal cookies and 27 bagels (trying to cut back on the carbs) on Sunday alone. Labor Day weekend really took a toll on my weight loss, but it’s just more motivation for next week right? Right?
Here’s the breakdown:

Tomorrow is the 38th anniversary of the day when communists took everything away from Americans in terms of athletic dominance and superiority. That’s right, it’s the anniversary of the ill-fated 1972 USA-USSR Olympic basketball game, where the final seconds were controversially replayed and the outcome was in the Soviet Union’s favor. In my family, we call that a Get-Back Goal, and we stopped letting my cousin Trevor have them when he was five.
Anyway, Coach K, in his position as coach of the USA Basketball team, decided he wasn’t going to let Russia get away with this nonsense, and he rightly called out Russian coach David Blatt after Blatt tried to say that the USSR was the “rightful winner” of those Munich games.
“It’ll be a negative from the way the U.S. looks at it forever, and should be,” said Coach K in an ESPN article today. “And it’ll be in some ways a positive for those who believe in fairy tales.”
It’s Pop’s 84th birthday, and just because he has to spend it in Heaven doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it down here.
Share your favorite Pop memory in the comment section below. I’ll start.
I have two: the first is the time that squirrel fell on Pop’s head in Coral Springs and did the Road Runner shuffle until his bucket hat flew off. The second is the time my mom shot Pop in the chest with a vacuum. She burned off all his chest hair and the push back put a dent in the kitchen wall. Jesus Christ Jeanette!
Ok, go! Celebrate the spirit of Pop today with a cold beer and a funny story. And maybe a good bar fight or two.
