So I'm getting ready to watch my show, Biggest Loser, and then we are forced to endure the State of the Union address. Really? I mean it's really important and interesting and politically correct and yada yada yada, but PRIME TIME? And most of it is just the media shots of the congress people putting on their camera faces shaking hands and hugging and such, as well as the commentary afterward. Democracy? No, my friends. Having every channel interrupted is a forceful, socialistic act. I do NOT concur. And THEN Biggest Loser only gets one hour; we are left hanging until who knows when--next week? tomorrow?--and feel rather disappointed... I must say, though, I really liked the way the parties had to sit with each other. Made for a feeling of connectedness and solidarity, and the President's way of joking about the way they will always disagree and argue over issues yet work together for a common goal was really accessible and intoned solidarity, in my humble, non-voter's opinion...
My sisters and I did our weekly weigh in notwithstanding the rude interruption, and Anna lost freakin' 4 LBS! Alicia lost 3! Audrey held steady! And I...gained 2 lbs... Very disappointing. I'm motivated to try harder this week; it does not feel good to be at the bottom. I'm slightly embarassed, to say to the least... Water weight? :)
Amy, I love you! I needed this laugh today. I was frustrated wanting to watch BL too. I have made a weight loss goal this year as well. This is gonna be the year, man! If you wanna check me out go to: dumptherump.blogspot.com So excited for you girls! You can do it! ;)
ReplyDeleteStupid state of the union address! It's like a game show where they are announcing all of the contestants. I don't care about who is who. I was so mad that it interupted biggest loser, the one show i really live for. I hate being left hanging!
ReplyDeleteAs for the weighin don't be discouraged. Just get back on and try harder. You can do it!
Carrie, awesome blog! Thanks for the encouragement :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I know, right??? I wanted to see the other team come to the Ranch for weigh in. Now I have to wait. Stupid waiting... And thank you, I'm back on, worked out this morning and feeling motivated. You are an awesome example
Steal away girl! Thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteAmes...you are so funny! I am so glad that you are blogging. You were born to blog :) Yes...your statement about the solidarity between parties was absolutely touching. So connected. :) Watch out for weigh-in's next week...I'm keeping a food journal!!
ReplyDeleteSo...just to make you "biggest losers" feel better-I gained about four lbs on my cruise. Yep, that's right, four big ones. I guess eating non stop will do that to you! But, back on (or off, as the case may be) the wagon this week. I've already run 13 miles, and nobody is bringing me food whenever I want it..."back to life, back to reality..."
ReplyDeleteAudge--why thank you! :) So are you being sarcastic or are you serious with the whole "touching and connected" stuff? Can't tell in type... Either is acceptable, I'm now just super curious! And a food journal?! Crap that means I gotta step it up!
ReplyDeleteAng--13 miles? I think I logged 13 miles last year... wow, sister, you are an athlete! And you know, you DO have children, who should be earning that tax refund somehow... Just put on their little waiter outfits and you're good to go!
The 2 pound gain in Obama's fault...
