45 Steps in Heels
My husband and I went to the Blue Man Group show last night in Cincinnati. We had tickets down on the floor, 11 rows from the stage. A year ago I would have made sure to wear sneakers and questioned whether I could actually get back up the stairs and still have any breath left. I still had some doubts, but nothing major. After the show I counted the stairs - there were 45 of them and then a quarter mile walk back to the car. I did it all without even getting out of breath - in heels. I never wear heels so I was pretty happy about that.
We’d gone to dinner before the show and I didn’t exactly stick to my diet, but I didn’t do too badly. It was a little easier with the meal since we went to Red Lobster and they don’t have a single vegetarian option on the menu except for fried cheese sticks. Wasn’t even tempted because I knew they’d be fried along with the calamari and other stomach turning items. My husband got his meal and I got the sides. It was the biscuits that did me in. Oh, well. I’d figured they might so I’d been really conscience of what I had earlier in the day.
The show was fun. Had to make some makeshift ear plugs out of paper, but I can still hear this morning and didn’t get a migraine (Blue Man does that to me sometimes). I even caught a guitar pick - the only one their “lead” guitarist threw. Actually, it hit me and I picked it up from by my feet. No real skill involved. Now my husband wants to go to Chicago and Vegas to see their shows there. Already been to the one in Boston.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Keep it healthy!
Those biscuits at Red lobster are soooo good! I understand why you ate them! Yum! I am not helping, I know. Sorry.
You have made alot of progress and it showed last night when you did all the stair climbing and walking and not getting out of breath….in heels even! Good job! Glad you had fun at the show. Have a great day Diane!
SOunds like you had fun! I think on special nights like that then you should be able to enjoy yourself and not have to completely follow plan. It would be different if you had those nights every week. I’ve always wanted to watch the Blue man group. Glad you had fun!! Great job with the heels. Keep up the good work!!!
Wow! I can’t imagine doing all that in heels! Even when I was in shape! Great job!
I love those little biscuits!!! So yummy and warm. Just like I would make them if I knew how to cook. lol.
Those biscuits are evil good. I love them and I have to have at least one when we go there. I used to just chow down on them untill I got in my look at all the calories in everything mode…and forced myself to limit my joy to jusst one measly biscuit at 160 freaking calories!!!I started making them at home in a low calorie version, they are not quite the same but they are good.
Glad you had fun at the concert! What a riot that must have been! Have a great day Chicky!
