Not that I make resolutions, but I have been pretty lax with my exercise regime for the past 17 days. Watching the Olympics will do that to you. Well, to me anyway.
I've been living vicariously through these athletes, watching them glide at dizzying speeds feet and head first down an icy slide, skating up and down a rink and taking shots on goal and, my personal favourite, whipping around that slick short track ice with legs burning. Seriously, all that activity really got my heart racing.
Add to that all the jumping up and down, screaming with fists clenched and running back and forth between the living room and the kitchen every time I heard the announcers ask, will it be a new world record?! and I must have burned a few hundred calories (not that I'm counting). You?
All told, it was the best Olympics ever. Ev-er. Canada won 14 gold medals, making us the most successful nation at the Olympic Winter Games. Go Canada Go!
And my favourite moment? Seeing Charles Hamelin win the gold and watching his love Marianne St-Gelais jump the barriers to get to him. There goes my heart again...
This was an ice cream moment if ever I saw one and I was without. Boooo... Instead, I clasped my hands together, cooed and cocked my head to one side like a dippy, lovesick teenager. They could have played that over and over and I'd never get sick of watching. It was an ooey gooey moment and I loved every ooey gooey moment of it.
Life should be filled with more of those don't you think?
