What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Things I ate while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:

  • 1/2 large pizza
  • 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 tomato, 1/4 zucchini
  • 1 bowl of cherries
  • 20 stone wheat crackers
  • 2 pieces of licorice
  • one dark chocolate bar
  • 4 cookies

Calories I burned while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:

  • 110.  Mostly in trips to the kitchen. 

Calories I gained while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:

  • I don’t know.  Do not add up the list and tell me.  Ignorance is bliss.  Bliss may not be at racing weight by spring.

Things I wondered while watching The Biggest Loser Tuesday night:

  • Why the” names” of “family members” on the other end of the calls home were captioned in quotes.  Is it so humiliating to have a relative on national TV trying to win a weight loss competition the kin need to go into the witness protection program?
  • How many pieces of Extra Healthy Extra Chewing Gum will fit in an Extra Healthy Ziploc Baggie.
  • If Bob is secretly evil. 
  • Why watching hungry people sweat makes me so damn ravenous.

  1. i honestly think there are subliminal messages in the BL telling us to eat and get fat. I can’t watch without eating, at least, 2000cal in an hour. they are trying to ensure another season of the show by making all of us watchers more squishy.

  2. I’m assuming Husband ate the other half of everything, so you don’t have to get all guilty alone.

    • Big Dog has to eat! Especially considering that BL Tuesdays = Tempo Run Tuesdays! Anyway, I can’t say no to chocolate – but I did say no to licorice and cookies.

      Hey shorty, I believe the pizza split was 55/45 in my favour… and you forgot the spinach (redemption song a la Popeye?).

  3. I always groan when I see contestants idly waiting in the kitchen in need of worldly Ziplock advice. Perhaps the best product placement ploy was when Bob FedEx-ed a pack of gum to a contestant during the last at home weeks.

    I crave root beer floats during the show.

  4. i tend to go for an ice cream sundae when i watch biggest loser… probably not the desired result of the show, though i like pen’s subliminal message theory.
