Tales of a Hockey Wife: Random thoughts while drinking....

Now that hockey season is over....I don't really have much to blog about! Ok, that is a lie...I am often thinking to myself that "(insert idea)...would be great for my blog"...but I am either too busy, tired, or lazy to write a creative blog post. Tonight I am having a cocktail (or six) and thought I would just randomly write about a few things.

Being a fan of BRAVO Reality TV (housewives, TopChef, Bethany, etc.) I decided to pick up a bottle of Skinny Girl Margarita at the liqueur store last month. Um...HELLO!!! This stuff is AMAZING! Being a fan of margaritas, but not a fan of the high caloric intake while consuming them....I am hooked (four bottles later)! Did you know that in 1.5 ounces of Skinny Girl Margarita there are ONLY 37.5 calories, and 1.43 carbohydrates. Which means a whole bottle is 937.5 calories!!

I know, you are asking...how much alcohol is in it. Let's just say I drank a half of a bottle one night and had a pretty good headache the next morning (I told my husband I had stomach issues and needed to stay in bed). The taste is delicious, and it doesn't taste like the syrupy (word?) premixed margaritas previously on the market.

So if you like a margarita, and don't want the guilt.....check out your local liqueur store and ~~stock up~~ buy the Skinny Girl Margarita!!

I have been working out five days a week, and watching what I eat. My husband says he can tell I have lost weight, but the number on the scale has stayed pretty much the same. If you remember this and this...you would know we get our exercise on at the local YMCA. I have had a few observations this week.

Hey you....young man in your late twenties! I see you in your jeans, work boots and wife-beater tank top. You grunt as you try to lift heavy weights, with REALLY BAD form. I am sorry, but I am not excited by your display of muscle. Instead of drooling over you, I am laughing about your small penis and subdued homosexual display as you pump weights with your friend. I am not a professional (although I have had a personal trainer certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine for six years now, but what do I know) lifting a weight that is so heavy you can only do it three times (with bad form)...is not impressive!

PS...I saw you try a new exercise today, and fail! Seems that watching an exercise on YOUTUBE and doing it successfully are two different things.

PSS....what is up with your two gallons of water and tupperware with baked chicken? You are at the YMCA in Smalltown, USA.......you are not at Gold's Gym on Venice Beach!

Did you know that if you watch every Stanley Cup playoff game....and each series possibly went to seven games...you would end up watching 105 possible games!
