Won . . . A lifetime of fake tans. NICE.

Physicians Formula doesn’t view the Olympics’ third place finishers as losers, just maybe a little pale. The cosmetics company plans to send all of the Games’ bronze medal winners a lifetime supply of bronzers in honor of their achievements in Beijing. Luckily U.S. gymnast Alicia Sacramone, who got bumped from a bronze following questionable judging on the vault, already seems to have the tan thing down.

How cool is that??????

 

Michael Phelps, Burning Up The Pool and the Calories

No you know I have to post something about Michael Phelps. After all he is from Bawlmore, Hon. (And that’s our hometown too  : )

The big buzz is Phelps caloric intake. People are saying that after he retires from swimming, Michael Phelps might want to try his hand at competitive eating. (Please don’t let me see him at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest). At any rate the Olympic star recently said he consumes 12,000 calories per day, or 9,500 more than the FDA recommends for an active, young male.
Phelps has to keep his intake up in order to compensate for all the calories he burns during the 30-hours per week he spends in training. He told NBC that an average day might have the following menu:

• Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches, 2 cups coffee, 5-egg omlette, bowl of grits, 3 pieces of french toast, 3 chocolate chip pancakes
• Lunch: 1 pound pasta, 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, energy drink (1,000 calorie)
• Dinner: 1 pound pasta, 1 large pizza, energy drink (1,000 calorie)

Three years ago, Phelps told an interviewer:

I eat pretty much whatever I want. I don’t have a strict diet. It’s all about cramming in as many calories into my system as I possibly can. To be honest with you, I have a tough time keeping weight on.

Wow. Eats what he wants and still looks great in a swimsuit : )   You Go Michael!
