You searched what?!

I know I already did a post on this ..but I just can't help myself!

Okay so some of my blog topics have returned some rather bizarre search results. I find this so strange and wonder what kind of people are finding my blog. Some results are obvious (say yes to the dress, cabot trail, 16& pregnant, etc) but then I get the odd weirdos who are actually typing these things into google. Or google is lying to me ..but I don't think it does that. So here are some screen shots from some of the weirder search results!

Can I just say the first few made me laugh.

Then I saw the last one and did a triple take ..what the?

It made me laugh and wonder if there is a blog called half passed out.

If that's what they were looking for they were disappointed when they found my blog instead!

I have also had a lot of things that probably will result in jail time eventually for some people. My post about naked baby photos has returned some bizarre search results. I don't have screen shots of them (tragic, I know) but here is a list of some stranger phrases that have found my blog:

naked babes show them to me
pictures of completely nacked 12 year old girls in a bathtub
can i take pictures of my baby naked?
cute 4yr old bums naked

And that is just a quick sampling from the results in the last week. Typos and weird phrasing all them. So ..welcome to jail people. Except the honest question of 'can i take pictures of my baby naked?'. I hope she read my blog and decided she shouldn't but if she MUST then please don't post them on the internet. Again, no one cares.

I am amazed constantly by the results that will find my blog! Do you guys have any weird, creepy or downright bizarre search results that have found your blog? Or do regular people not share my obsession with strange search results?! Enjoy your Tuesday!

Give to Live!

So today is a sad day. People are coming to look at Dewey.
I have to go ride him and make him look pretty. Ugh.

So, on that note ..instead I'm going to ask my lovelyyy blog readers to do me a huge favor and help me :D You know how this blog is slowly becoming a fitness blog? Wellll .. it's because in 73 days I will be biking the Cabot Trail.

Here is a sampling of the kinds of 'hills' I'll be climbing.

So, yes ..this is something I've been saying I wanted to do now for a few years. In a moment of insanity, I decided this was the year. Meg posted me the link via twitter and 2 days later I was registered and training for the craziest 3 days of my life.

I'm doing the ride with Tour for Kids. It is honestly awesome but I am SUCH an awful fundraiser that I'm hoping someone will come across my blog& decide to help me out.

If I end up dead along the Cabot Trail, I guess it won't matter I've raised $0 of the $1,000 I was supposed to. There is an upside to everything, right?! Let's make it so I'm not preferring death while on my cycling adventure, okay? I know you guys can do it :D

I already asked Ellen via Twitter to donate... wouldn't that be amazing? I would kill two birds with one stone. Just imagine me now. Take a moment and enjoy the photo below .. I'm hoping within the next 73 days that this moment will happen to me.

Imagine how amazing it will be when you see me.

Rocking that sweater / scarf look.

Helping me out also helps all kinds of kids and every dollar counts! I promise on August 8th to have a massive recap with lots of photos (here's hoping I can convince people to take photos ..boyfriend?!), stories and laughs. This is all assuming I survive.

So, now that I've convinced you to donate a dollar, you need my personal page to donate to. Here's where things start to get sad. My personal page still has $0 raised. I've met 0% of my goal. Sorry, Tour for Kids :(

Click here if you want to help me out!

Thank you so very much people. Even if you can't donate, thank you for reading :)

Tracking!

So.. I am obsessed with tracking things. I need to know how many calories I eat in a day. I need to know how many miles I am running / biking / whatever a week. I enjoy having these things because I like seeing my progress. I am such a narcissist.

So, since I know you're all DYING to be as cool as I am (right ..right?!), I have decided to compile a list of the best places to track things you do in life. Remember a while back when I posted that I finally got some type of smart phone? Well it's an Android. Go me. My favorite thing about it (aside from compulsively checking Twitter) is easily that I can track my eating instantly.

My first place that I started tracking my intake / exercise with was MyPlate and it is fantastic. It's part of Livestrong.com and has every. food. ever. So that's pretty great. You know what isn't pretty great? They only have iPhone& Blackberry apps. Stupid Livestrong. Why the Android hate?! Jerks. Gosh.

So, instead I had to search and search and search (aka I selected the first app that came up ..so if you have better suggestions lol) for one for my phone. I finally settled on MyFitnessPal! It's actually really good ..I had half expected it to be sucky just because I loved MyPlate so much. It's pretty great. Plus, they are feeling the Android love baby. Oh and also, even if I had an iPhone or Blackberry? It infuriates me when things I can use for free online suddenly need to be bought with cash in an 'app store'. Brutal. So MyFitnessPal gets major points for being free.

So, that's where I track my calories and sometimes I log my fitness in there as well. I have discovered, however, that DailyMile is about 1,000 times better than those food journals. It's fabulous. I've only just discovered it about 6 days ago, but man I LOVE it. It tells you how many miles you clock per week, you can create routes and you can find your friends on there. Sadly, as you will see from my screen shot, I have no friends. LOL!

It's pretty fabulous and I think it's probably one of the best ones because I have noticed it being mentioned a lot on the running blogs I read. I swear that once I survive the Cabot Trail, I'm getting back into running. Maybe I'll do the 10k in the Fiddler's Run? I'll have to wait& see if I even survive the trail ahaha

Oh, and lastly .. I LOVE my bike computer that tracks my speed and distance covered and my crappy heart rate monitor. I am in desperate want of a Garmin though. Actually desperate want doesn't accurately describe.

I own the Sigma. I covet the Garmin.

So a few questions:
1. Do you guys track your fitness / nutrition? If so, what do you use?
2. Do you know any rocking biking blogs?! I need one :(
3. Do you own a really good heart rate monitor? Care to weigh in?
4. Do you bike?! I'm dreaming big here.

34 but now 33..

Confused? I'm talking about the people who follow my blog. I lost a follower! This is tragic ..was it because of my 4 days without posting?! Was it because I poked fun at fat kids?! Did they breastfeed?!

So many offensive posts. So little time. Well, dear follower .. you will be sadly missed :( I'm hoping that it doesn't start some kind of trend where people just unfollow me like mad! I try to be a good blog to follow. I post clever things (if clever = mildly offensive) .. I have pretty photos from time to time (trust me. I know I suck at this) .. I post lots (unless you count the times I don't). Maybe they just didn't like that I posted about my 3 day ride of the Cabot Trail? I really have no idea. Unfollower, if for some reason you are reading my blog& read this? Could you tell me why you left! I'm so curious. I've never unfollowed a blog (I don't know how)!

Oh well. It's bright& early and my hip hurts. So does my shoulder. I'm making some eggs .. enjoying a morning with a book .. then off to the barns to take Dewey on a trail ride + give a lesson to Hilly :) I hope your Monday goes awesomely.

Long break!

Sorry folks, I got mad at Blogger for first deleting my post then my comments.

Post has been returned .. comments have not. Still slightly upset about that. Oh well.. moving on to bigger& better.

So, I officially signed up for Tour for Kids Atlantic 3-day Cabot Trail bike event :D It's super exciting. It is August 5th, 6th& 7th. I will not know a soul but am hoping that either the boyfriend or a parent will take some photos of my adventure for me :) I'm going to have to fund raise $1,000 by September 31st. I'm nervous ..especially since I can't figure the stupid thing out. My fingers are crossed .. as soon as I figure it out, I will post the link here.

Tonight I fell off a horse. Her name is Lexie and I hit the gravel hard. Even after 14 years of riding, a fall is still humbling! Oh well .. I got back on her and she was fine. She got spooked by a horse out in the field. No big deal, aside from the fact that I think my hip is going to be mighty sore tomorrow. And I caught myself with my already destroyed right arm. Oh, the joys.

So, now I'm over being angry at Blogger and will be back to posting daily! Hope your weather is turning into the summer kind ..it certainly isn't on the island :(

Edit- You have NO idea how much it would be appreciated if someone random& who I didn't have to totally beg in real life to support me ..did this! I figured out the link to my page for TourforKids .. all you have to do is click the button 'Make A Pledge' and go ahead! You can donate however much or little you want! Any amount helps ..I have to get to $1,000. And I suck at this stuff! Who wants to be my first donation?!

So, without further ado -here is my fundraising page :) Simply click here!

PS you guys rock <3
