Usher Concert May 26

A friend of mine won 3rd row tickets to see Usher. WHAT A HEART THROB!


I have to say the bass was so strong that there were times I had to grab my chest to stop the vibrating, just so I could breathe. It was epic!


At one point he was looking through the crowd for some one to come up on stage with him. He ended up picking the girl right in front of me. Part of me was sad that he didn;t choose me, but not too sad. LOL



There were two girls next to us who had had a few too many before the show, and they made it even more entertaining for us sober folk. Here is my friend Laura with one of the girls


We tried asking the one girl to get a picture of us, but a camera was a bit too complicated for her to figure out. It was pretty hilarious to witness her repeatedly blinding herself with the flash.
Finally we got a different person to get a picture of the two of us.


Akon was the opener. I normally don't care for him, but he puts on a great concert. He was the cause of the only fight that broke out. He threw his sweaty tank top into the crowd and two girls started yanking each others hair for it. Girls!
I didn't get a shot of him throwing his shirt, but here's a good after shot. RAWR!


Over all, this picture pretty much sums up how I felt about the night.

New Year's resolution

Well, I am completely baffled. My goal was to lose 50lbs by Christmas 2011. I bought a little pedometer last Christmas, and was going to keep track and improve my daily distance walking.
I started out at 1100 steps a day, of exercise beyond normal life. I am now up to 12,000. I have cut out 1000 calories from my diet. In almost 6 months I have lost a whopping 15 lbs! I am SO frustrated, I thought I would be a lot further by now.
It is making me think that maybe I am more fit that I thought I was, and just walking is not cutting it any more. So starting today, I am going to turn into fast walking, and faster every day, until I am buff enough to run. Hopefully challenging myself a bit more will be the cure.
