The Biggest Loser

Do you watch it?  I never consecutively watched it until this year (go figure - the year of the television for me) and I have to admit that I really look forward to it every week.  I see it as a motivator - if these people can go through these grueling workouts, then I can get my butt to the gym for an hour!  The real motivator is that now, in week 13 of the season, these contestants are beginning to weigh-in really close to what I weigh-in as...SCARY!  I really need to RUN to the gym and work out more so that I can keep up with them!  

I don't know if you can see which guy from this picture but Mike (white shirt guy) from this season is the biggest person they've had in Biggest Loser history on the show.  He started the show at around 540-some-odd pounds and he's down to 372.  Let me tell you why I'm stuck on this - because he's been running 5 miles a day on the treadmill.  Did you catch that? 5 MILES A DAY AND HE WEIGHS 372 POUNDS!!!  

That is motivation at its finest!  If a 372 pound man can run for 5 miles, then you better believe that I can too!  I'll let you know my progress!

Lastly - who do I want to win?  I would love it if Sam or Koli won - they've both got determination and hard work.  Sunshine has it also but she annoys me because she's always crying and her and her dad's relationship kinda gets corny after awhile.  I dunno - I'm at the point where I hate seeing ANY of them leave the ranch because I enjoy seeing their progress so much!

I need to go be the biggest loser myself!

Some of my favorite commercials

This one makes me laugh EVERY time...





I belly laughed the first time I saw this commercial - the animals saying "Ricky" gets me every time...



Look at your man, now back to me, now back to your man, now back to ME...



Who DOESN'T like Betty White?!





How do you NOT like this commercial?!







P.S. I love technology - just the fact that I can rewatch things that I think are funny AND post them on a blog - 10 years ago there would've been 2 questions: "What's You Tube?!" "Blogs????"

An Unhealthy Obsession

I need to watch this:

Like I need to watch this:

So if I recognize this then WHY am I HOOKED?!  

A better question - If I already know the outcome (thanks to Reality Steve) then WHY am I HOOKED?

i. can't. stop. WATCHING!!!

I wish I had an excuse....

a) My Young Life girls watch it, it's how I stay connected in convo and get them to hang out with me...ummmm I don't lead YL anymore :(

b) My little sister makes me turn the channel....I don't have a little sister and I don't live with her either

c) Stephen really likes it....he makes fun of me and the show...can't say that I blame him.

What is wrong with me?!

I had a favorite (and then I found out the outcome), and I don't even laugh anymore at the fiction and absurdity surrounding the show...AHHHHHH!!!

One thing I know to be true:  good thing there's only 2 more weeks left in this train wreck that we call entertainment.  

Please still be my friend - this is my first step towards recovery: admitting that there's a problem.

Are you addicted to something you're not entirely proud of, in fact you'd hope it wouldn't come up in front of people you don't know so you don't have to own up to it?  (I'm not looking for deep dark sins here, something you're willing to share on the blog comments...in fact please don't post deep dark sins on here, it will make me shift in my seat out of discomfort)
