Shedding the Pounds

This is how it's looking so far.



The starting date was November 2nd, and the thick black line is my goal for January 25th.

I got off to a really great start, but it's slowed down a little over the past couple weeks (which is to be expected).

Even after I posted yesterday about choosing a smoothie over a pizza, I did eventually give in. Shame on me! I'm just hoping that I can workout enough to counteract the destructive eating I tend to do.

Changing gears... is anyone else SUPER excited about all these new shows starting? I'm so thankful for my DVR because I would likely miss most of them due to work or simply watching something else.

Here's what I'm watching...

The Bachelor - He's the reject from last season (and I adored him then). You can make fun of me all you want, but during the first episode, I always place the girls in a + and - column on a sheet of paper. Then I cross them off as they get eliminated or I change my mind. Unfortunately, Jason got rid of almost ALL my +'s! There are only 3 left... Melissa, Molly, and Nikki. Apparently he has bad taste.

The Real World - There is a woman (man) on there that is transgendered. It seems like the entire first episode had the roommates wondering what the deal was with this girl (guy). I'm a bit uninformed on the whole transgender thing, so there are so many questions. Like for instance... her boyfriend back at home. He was with her before she had her operation, and they are still together. Does that make him bi-sexual?

Scrubs - I'm not sure anyone on earth still watches this show, but I love it. Courtney Cox is the new Chief of Medicine and she does a great job. I will be so sad to see the show gone forever, but Elliot and J.D. better get together before that happens!

The Office - Not exactly new, but each new episode just thrills me to death. This past year has been unbelievable and continues to shock me. I can't wait to see what happens with Angela and Andy. I (along with the rest of the world) am IN LOVE with Pam and Jim.

Biggest Loser - This is a great show. And it always inspires me to workout... last week, I did abs and hand weights (a jar of spaghetti sauce) during the show. It's really nice to have this show on DVR because it's often 2 hours long (that is a lot of commercials), and they tend to drag things out quite a bit (like eliminations).

It's okay. You don't have to tell me... I'm WELL aware that I have too much time on my hands. I just LOVE television (I picked the perfect job, didn't I?).

(Speaking of job... I'm looking for a new one, and it's not going too well. The competition is seriously fierce. I wonder how long I should wait before I begin to get frustrated.)
