YAY Biggest Loser!! I really do like this show. 
More on BL in a moment.
By the way – from my post this morning, I’m glad to see there are others who liked Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Yay girly chick flicks! If you missed that post, don’t forget to go check it out for my free sample links for Quaker mini rice cakes and Barbara’s Bakery cereal samples (hellooooo Puffins!)
Today was full of some fun stuff for job applications – I don’t want to give away too much info right now, but there’s a job I’m applying for (putting a ton of effort into it!) that I would absolutely love to have! Cross your fingers and say a prayer for me! My goal right now is to make it to the interview stage!
Lunch included a mixture of half an extra lean Jennie-O ground turkey sausage link, a handful of broccoli slaw, and a 1/4 c. instant brown rice. I also sprinkled a tiny bit of reduced fat cheese on top and had a clementine on the side. I love me some clementines!!
For dinner tonight I made an easy soup that is so healthy but SO nutritious! See this post for my Creamy Curried Red Lentil Soup (it’s in a separate post to make my recipe organization a little easier). It was really good, and really easy. We just had a couple tiny slices of sourdough bread on the side. Looking back, I needed more veggies today! But as you can see by my tiny portion of soup, I just wasn’t that hungry tonight. It happens!
(Like my new Vera Daisy Daisy apron in the background? hehe).
Anyway – Biggest Loser. What are your thoughts on the oldest couple, the 63-year-old white team? I’m not sure how I feel about it – I think more than anything, I’m nervous for them. When I first saw them I thought, “wow, they’re going to really have to be careful, that’s pretty old for this show,” and I’m not gonna lie – I really wasn’t that surprised when I saw him pass out so quickly. And wow, I can’t even fathom the orange kid, Daniel, who is 19 and 454 lbs (mad props on your 30 lb one week weight loss dude). I am SOOO glad they all made the choice to go on this show! I love this show because it really is a huge sense of motivation for me. If they can workout and change their lives, why can’t I? I love seeing their successes and how they overcome obstacles. (Although I hate seeing people go home!!! I want them all to succeed!)
Question for the night: If you could pick Bob or Jillian as your trainer, who would you pick? I asked Ross and he said Bob right away, because Bob is a runner and Ross has been running for years. I’m not sure who I would pick. Jillian definitely kicks everyone’s butts, but I’ve always liked Bob, too.
K, well I’m going to continue working on this stuff for my application process, and finish watching Biggest Loser, too. Good night y’all!
probably bob
i wish they’d keep everyone this season… they all need a helping hand
Love the clems! Except – I’m not a fan of the citrus hands that are left behind
As much as I would love to have Bob, I know Jillian would kick my ass and I would like that more.
I like Bob, because I think he uses his heart and his knowledge of weight and workout to help people. But, I have to say the show has been highlighting the “softer side of Jillian” last season and that’s a good thing as well.
Your food looks YUMMY as usual.
Hugs,
Susan
Hands down I would pick Jillian. Bob is a great trainer, but I watch Jillian’s workouts and her people get toned and have these amazing results… I think sometimes you need someone in your face saying “push harder!” But I also like that Jillian’s been there, she’s been a chubby girl before, she knows the emotional baggage from it too and she helps people realize that. She’s amazing!
The show was great last night. But so sad 9 people had to go home right away… I have mixed feelings over that.
definatly Jillian! I have her 30 day shred, and she really makes you work for your reward. In the dvd, at one point she screams I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOURE GOING TO DIE! shes intense
I love the biggest loser too! I was kinda sad that all but 2 teams had to send a person from their team home though.
I love TBL, too! And I am hoping for an amazing transformation in Dan (team orange)…well all of them actually! I love to see the finale when you can see all the changes they’ve made.
Hmmm…Bob or Jillian? I think Jillian would motivate me more, re: kick my butt. But I think I would work better with Bob…I LOVE Bob! His personality is to be tough, but I think he’s not quite so “rough!” But I like them both! If given the opportunity, I would train with either!
