Boom.
===============
Tonight I have a 6+ hour solo road trip. It might be time to bust out my Firesign Theater cds. Anyone out there under the age of 60 who's heard of them?
================
I caught the first episode of The Biggest Loser. I like the new trainer with the weird name. Anna is pretty, but man. 4lbs at the first weigh in? That has to be a series worst. But a LOT. It's not just old people, because I've never seen that many people do that poorly. I really don't think Anna fully knows what she's doing. Being an excellent athlete doesn't make you a good trainer, in the same way that being fucking HOT doesn't make you good at sex. I've heard.
Anyway, I already hate people. Yay?
Also, maybe it's just being skinny my whole life, but I don't get the "I will never love someone as long as I am fat." I see fat people in love all the time! Maybe you will never love someone as long as you are so dissatisfied with yourself and how you look, sure, but that's different. And yes, losing weight will help that. But weight alone is not keeping you from being in love. Though, I have to assume that at a certain weight, it gets really really hard to have sex. But people on TBL aren't there yet. They save that shit for TLC specials.
Anyway, I don't know a single person's name (Except fucking BONNIE), and I almost hate everyone.
This bodes well. Though, I'm not sure I can bring myself to recap like I was last season. It might just turn into one long burn book. We'll see.
================
Speaking of burn books (not really), while hiking out from the lake on Sunday, I managed to drop the top of my favorite bathing suit. I've had it for years, and I can't find another one on ebay, so I guess it's time to move on. =( The bottoms were starting to threaten to fall off anyway, so I guess it's for the best.
================
Did you watch The Biggest Loser? Tell me what you think?
How many bathing suits do you own? I'm down to four, now. A bikini I've never worn, my super hero suit, a suit I lend to my mom, and a weird one piece with ties in the back that I never quite figured out how to wear properly.
I tried to watch the Biggest Loser and Anna really bugged me. Plus, I just wasn't in the mood for all the emotional crap. And what is up with Bob's hair???
ReplyDeleteoh BL - I usually hate first episode...and as for the old people group - a lot of them are a bunch of whiners so Anna is going to need to find a way to motivate them. I mean the showed how 2 of them kept wanting to quit and give up. As for love and being fat it is about loving yourself and many people who are overweight don't love themselves so they cannot project love outwarfds due to lack of confidence in there own life.
ReplyDeleteI know the youngest contestant...she was the first one on and she has my last name, so I'll be rooting for her. She seemed ok. I was not a fan of Debbie or Bonnie, and Anna is going to lose all her contestants first, I can tell. She's not as bad as Cara was (at least she makes them workout instead of working out for them), but she's not good. I agree...being an athlete does not make you a trainer. That said, I didn't really miss Jillian either. I think I may keep watching.
ReplyDeleteI think I own 4 suits, and only one of them adequately hides my saddlebags enough for me to like wearing it. Last year i forgot a suit at my father in law's house when we were there (without him) for a ski weekend, and my size 00 friend loaned me hers. It was butt floss and pasties, and I've never felt more like a whale. I should've just gone naked.
But I digress.
Good luck on the tri!!!
You "dropped your top" and the bikini bottoms almost fell off? What kind of hike was this?
ReplyDeleteI did watch!! You're right about Anna! Swinging a racket doesn't help you lose weight, swinging some 50 lb rackets for 2 hours straight will help you lose weight! She needs to bring it. I miss Jillian being a bitch already.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe that black lady was being mean to Bonnie at the end of the show! Does she not know that one of the rites of passages of the Biggest Loser is that you get to cry ALL THE FREAKING TIME and it's ok because you're worn the hell out and an emotional wreck. I wanted to punch her in the face for being an ass.
Probably better get the BL going on my DVR so we can talk about it.
ReplyDeleteI watched the first couple seasons of BL, but I can't really get into it any more.
ReplyDeleteI have one swimsuit for lap swimming, one black and neon bikini, one pair of random bottoms, and 3 random tops. Though, I've mostly been swimming in my tri shorts and sports bra this summer, which makes for some sexy, sexy tan lines.
I have bits and pieces of bikinis here and there, and then one full bikini set (but the kind with the tank top a boy shorts). I don't wear any of this. I bought 3 one piece suits for swim class, so that's what I use and wear. I can't imagine doing swim class in a two piece. It could be way risque up in there!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched TBL. I always thought it would make me feel fat and horrible about myself. I have lots of other thoughts/questions/ponderings ... I'm going to save them for Seattle RnR when Team Jam reunites. It feels more appropriate for that setting!
Hahaha, you crack me up! Ya.. the I dont know how I feel at BL yet. I agree with you about Anna. Have a great race!
ReplyDeletedefinitely sounds like it's time to go swimsuit shopping.
ReplyDeleteI never learn anyone's name on BL until like the 4th week...so I'm going to give them all a little bit more time.
Ya, I have never watched more than a few episodes in all the years it has been on. I watched Monday though. I was not impressed with Anna. I laughed that the football player started crying within 10 min. All the drama kinda annoys me. I have been skinny my whole life as well and it has always annoyed me when heavier people have made comments about how it must be so easy for me or I can eat anything. It is not easy. I work my ass off. Literally, by running and lifting weights. I feel so cynical, but I laughed at the contestants most of the episode.
ReplyDeleteI watched Biggest Loser and I am so intrigued by the new trainer, Dolvett, he seems pretty awesome. I totally agree about Anna, I'm not really a fan and I have never seen such low numbers in the first weigh in, but I guess time will tell. It doesn't matter your age, Jillian and Bob pushed you no matter what, Anna was being too soft!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching it on DVR now. I think it's insane that the contestants lose 37 pounds in a week and it's taken me more than a year to lose almost 20.
ReplyDeleteI might have 2-3 bikinis, but I only wear one. The others are reserved for when I a) run out of clean underwear or b) have worn my #1 bikini for an entire week and it's nice for laundry but I don't want to wait.
ReplyDelete:)
What. "I will never love someone as long as I am fat"? Sounds like a self-confidence issue that is NOT gonna go away when the extra fluff does. For reals. That sounds a lot like expecting thinness to solve your [well not YOU your...you know what I mean] problems...
ReplyDeleteI watched, it's not as interesting as it used to be. However I'm relieved that Anna Kournikova doesn't look as much like an emaciated goat as she did at the finale.
ReplyDeleteOk, so I hate to be all dramatic because I was never huge, but overweight me had some crazy confidence issues. I'm definitely glad I met my husband after I lost weight so I could have a better relationship and love more.
ReplyDeleteSheesh. Getting Dr. Phil over here.
I hardly ever watch BL but I already miss Jillian.
you are so amazing, you got this! I cant wait to be graced with your elite athlete precense! I need a new job with normal hours so I can actually meet with you to go running, lemme know if you got any leads! xo rock it !
