Busy weekend ahead! Krewe of Centaur Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday and then the Super Bowl on Sunday means a weekend full of partying and fuller bellies! But if you’re committed to fitness, what should you do?

I spoke to local fitness instructor Heather Binyon, who provided some healthy advice for a normally unhealthy weekend.

“A good thing to always do is think ahead,” says Binyon. “Before you go to a party like that you want to eat a little something so that you’re not just starving when you get there and want to pig out.”

“Another good way is to bring something healthy,” she adds.

Binyon also shared some healthier options for those looking to get their drink on, such as low-calorie beers. Now she’s talking our language! However, she warned us away from daiquiris since they are high in carbs.

Thankfully, wings aren’t completely off the table (pun intended) — Binyon says you just need to order them naked. That means with less flour, you pervs!

Never heard of a pygmy jerboa? It’s kind of like a kangaroo. A very, very, very, very small kangaroo.

It may not carry its young in a pouch, but its long hind legs, short front legs, long tails and method of transportation (hopping) all match up well with the more well-known jumping Australian marsupial. But forget all that for a second, and just watch this thing—it looks like a furry head propped up on two sticks. And in this hard world, a fella’s gotta stay clean.

The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you’re eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say “aaahhh” or not believe what you just watched.

Because you asked for it, here’s the full-length version of Beyonce’s performance at President Obama’s inauguration.

Beyonce addressed the media during a Super Bowl press conference Thursday and started the show her way: by singing. Live.

“Any questions?” she asked afterwards.

When asked about lip-synching during the Presidential inauguration, she said, ”I am a perfectionist,” adding that she chose to use “a backing track” due to no sound check and knowing that all eyes would be on her that morning. “I’m very proud of my performance,” Beyonce said.

As for her performance at Super Bowl 47, she replied, ”I will absolutely be singing live. I am well-rehearsed. This is what I was born to do.”

As for whether a Destiny’s Child reunion will take place Sunday, she simply said, ”I can’t give you any details.”
