I'm enjoying watching the Olympics. Last time, I didn't even really know that it was on. This year, I'm watching it every chance I get. I love the swimming, track, and gymnastics. What are you watching the most?
It's incredible to think that you are seeing the best in the world at that particular sport. Their bodies are incredible. It makes me feel really guilty as I'm sitting on the couch eating my chocolate as I watch. They train so many hours.
I know one thing...that McDonalds commercial is fake. There is no way that they even touch McDonalds. Have you seen it? They hold that chicken sandwich like it's an alien. The only one who actually takes a bite is the body builder. He might be a little more lax in what he eats. I bet the others threw their sandwich in the trash after they shot that commercial! What do you think about the Olympics?

We like watching gymnastics! Emily and Abby are in gymnastics and they like to put on their own olympics in the living room! Lots of fun! They are so inspired by these olympic gymnasts!!
Love, Kenna
i looove the olympics. I watch it every time i can. And i feel guilty too. hahahaha
And about the mcdonalds thing. Obviously is fake. even a normal person don't eat that stuff. They have an strict diet. And the first thing they take out of the diet is the Mc donals.
HEy Auny.. I have been reading your blog for quite sometime but have never commented.. I love reading you blog:)
and I have to make a comment about the mcdonalds thing... After Michael Phelps won his last race thats the first thing he had was burger and fries:) those 15 year old chinease girls probally dont eat it..lol..but yea I love watching the olympics:) its great to watch these athletes who have been training for so long..sorry this is a long comment..
Gymnastics are my fav! Especially when I watch them with my twin nephews. They're 2 yrs old. It's fun to watch them sit, motionless, thru the entire floor exercise then jump, clap and shout "Yeah" once the gymnist completes their routine.
I need to get it on video!
I don't think Olympic participants eat like we all do. How could they and do what they do? Although according to the news correspondants Michael Phelps has a very "HEALTHY" appetite!
Kenna, it is so fun to hear you tell about your girls putting on their olympics. When Auny and Kay were little I think it was Mary Lou Retton who received her perfect tens. The girls would make me judge them on the swing set and they wanted tens. We loved watching the gymnastics, swimming, and now the track and field. Your dad, Auny, of course, likes it all. Did you know they have ping pong and badminton? The Chinese mopped up in the golds there. But we are staying up so late we are tired!!!
I havent seen the commercial but i know micheal phelps the swimmer guy is on a 12,000 calorie diet a day!!! he said he can whatever he wants to because he is training so many hours a day... he said he has a really hard time kepping wieght on
Michael Phelps have ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) His body demands more calories than normal. Besides he swim 50 miles per week. He is not taking his medicine for the olympics games. So, imagine the energy he have before the competitions.
He also have very long arms and torso. He have short legs. His ankles, shoulders and uper body, bend more than normal.
He is just a guy in the right place doing the right thing.
He just eat, swim and sleep.
Difficult training. Not so much people can do that.
