The Olympics are bad for your health


Before I start my Olympics spiel ... Here are more photos from July:


We debuted our 'hiker' at Purdue's Horticulture Park.


Sydney's free ride.


She's got my back.


Taking a break.


The dark things that look like exclamation points are dragonflies. They were beautiful.


Lucky for us, Sydney likes to sleep/doze in the hiker.

Back to the Olympics ... in theory, shouldn't the Olympics inspire viewers to be athletic studs? As an active person, the Olympic Games have sidelined me to our couch. I have watched more TV these past 12 days than I have in months. I'm serious. This TV time is cutting into my usual running/gym time. Not to mention, I'm staying up later than usual. Exhaustion is setting in. And, despite watching these athletes who eat nothing but celery that is fortified by water, I can't get enough junk food. Let's blame the Coke commercials. After all, the Olympics are marketing at its finest. Good thing the Olympics are every four years ... I don't think my body could handle any more.

I keep getting mad at all the McDonald's chicken sandwich/biscuit commercials. No wonder I've been craving chicken so much this week!
