Holy Unbelievable Batman!

This is going to be a hot blogging topic amongst the WW GDTers this week...

Shrunk was DENIED as a success story. Is Weight Watchers out of their freaking mind? This chick is the truly inspirational epitome of a WW success! Who else can truly claim that they followed the program EXACTLY and NEVER went off-point during her whole weight loss journey? Who else would post on the General Daily Thread every day and congratulate others on their successes, yet blush away when anyone paid her a compliment? Who else chased her three kids daily while learning to run and counting her points to the tee? Who else's blog gets more visitors than Shrunk's does because it's truly amazing what she accomplished?

She could be the poster girl for the 20-30 something woman on the program for Christ's sake!

WW needs to take a step back and realize that it was their program that she followed which enabled her to lose an average of 2.3lbs a week. Their antiquated rules regarding what they will accept as a healthy success truly need to be revisited. (According to WW, they won't accept anyone that loses more than an average of 2lbs per week because it's considered too rapid a loss....WHATEVER!). This would all make sense if she wasn't following the guidelines as she was supposed to....but she did. Period.

Who knows what WW will do when they read all of the posts we have already started on the GDT, or when they see that members have already started an online petition as well as a Facebook page supporting Shrunk as our idol. All I can say is that they better open their eyes, pay attention and make an exception in this case because they are just plain WRONG this time.

Shrunk, we love you! Keep up the good work and congratulations on your SUCCESS!

One month down....

....and FIVE more to go....

That's right, my darling boyfriend has been gone a whole month now. So far, not tooooooo painful but the blue feelings are starting to creep in there when I'm not keeping myself crazy busy. It's gonna be a long, long, long summer.

Mojo the dog is a mildly OK substitute, however he does not respond very well when I ask him what movies we should get tonight....and DBF certainly doesn't require a leash for leisurely walks. Mojo does provide decent cuddles though, so I will take what I can get. At least I am going to visit in five weeks....can't wait!

Miss you honey!

Deja-vu

Seriously. Some fool stole my flipflops from kickboxing AGAIN! Who is this person and how dumb are they? Do they just not remember what shoes they wore today? I mean, they stole them once before and returned them.....and now AGAIN. Idiots.

Then I come home and those oh-so-cute little bastard raccoons have dumped my garbage can and strewn garbage all over the back porch. Gah. Friggin buggers just sit and wait til they know I'm not looking and WHAM-O. Grrrrr.

Glad I'm going to Pender to party it up this weekend. Apparently I deserve it!

Who you callin' "fruit"?

This is just so weird I had to steal it from Mikey.

Guilty Pleasures

Ya Ya. I know. Reality TV sucks. But it's totally true that some of the shows are like car wrecks and I just can't help but look.

Generally I stick to the slightly more intelligent ones such as Amazing Race (where actual skill is involved in the winning process)....or the talent related ones like American Idol or Project Runway (again, where they have to possess some sort of skill to get ahead)...although anything that involves the public being able to vote usually makes me want to smash my head into a wall.

Last night I happened upon Age of Love. Somewhat like The Bachelor (which I've only ever seen a few times) but with a twist. A 30 year old man is given about a dozen women to "date". Half of them in their 40s, the other half in their 20s. "Does age matter?"

First, I need to say that if I look half as good as those 40+ year olds at their age then WOOOOHOOOO! Them cougars are hot!

I'm definitely intrigued by this dynamic and will have to keep my eye on it to see how it ends up. Right now, the cougars (er, I mean 40-somethings) are winning his heart as the 20-somethings (AKA: kittens...LOL) are all coming off as vain self-centered bimbos.... but I guess we shall see.

(On a related note: my fave reality TV guilty pleasure, Big Brother, starts next week!!)
