So proud of myself. My knees were bothering me last night and I was starting to try to convince myself to take the night off, but I fought off the urge. Did 40 minutes on the elliptical and treadmill. It was funny, I usually pack my gym bag as soon as I come home from working out. So, I get to the gym and realize I never threw in a t-shirt. So I exercised in my undershirt. I wasn't going to use that as an excuse to go home :thumbup: So I wasn't fashionable for one night. Oh well.

Well, finally watched the selection show last night. Man they can relly be cruel to some of the people selected, making them think the decision was going to opposite way. But I am glad that the contestants I liked went through, like Brooke White. From appearances sake and of those who were highlighted, it does seem like it's a strong group. Let's hope so.

I got on Facebook as soon as they opened it up to the general community. It drove my daughter nuts and before the "friended" me, she set down some ground rules, like no posting on her wall, no friending her friends, etc. Funny thing is that a few weeks after I created the account, one of her closest friends "friended" me :cursing: One of the greatest uses for it is connecting with other possible relatives. I'm into my family genealogy and someone recently created a group dedicated to those with my same last name. I managed to make some great connections that way.

It's funny that you say that. I'm just the opposite. One big difference I've noticed since I was banded was the affect it had on my night time snacking. I eat dinner and maybe, for a little sweet snack, I'll have a weight watchers brownie. That's it. No more urges for a fourth meal while watching TV.

Not true. We're not afraid of doctors. We're afraid of asking for directions to get to the doctor's office :smile:

I'm curious about who makes it to the top 24 tonight. I really liked the Brooke that performed with the keyboard (the Carol King/Carly Simon sound alike - not the beauty queen that got cut), but in the coming attractions, you see her crying on the elevator. I'm just hoping those are tears of joy. There does seem to be a lot more talent this year, and so far, no Sanjaya wannabe, thank goodness :smile:

I wonder if it has more to do with the disparity in women vs. men on the boards than the reality of the banded population. Maybe men don't feel the need for the emotional support as much? Getting to the initial point image comparisons have always been disadvantageous to women unfortunately. Especially in the media. I remember the season that Ruben Stoddard won American Idol, the judges would constantly comment on the sizes of the women competitors, but there was never a peep about Ruben's size. So blame the media and advertising.

That really fooled me. I thought JFP was pretending he wanted to be off so that the couples foursome could vote Eliza off. Sure glad he is gone. There is no other player in all of Survivor that I can truly say I couldn't stand (and I saw them all), but JFP was a real creep.

Really weird. My shoulder was killing me on Friday. I could not lift my arm at all. I don't think it was related to eating or anything, since I didn't eat anything unusual or more than usual (just a yogurt and an apple). So I didn't get to work out on Friday. It was feeling better by Sunday, so I got my hour of treadmill and elliptical in. Then I went back onto the treadmill for 15 more minutes to try a more challenging setting.

First off, I'm going back to the Men's Room. You ladies are scaring me :tongue2: Talking about Wal Mart, I think your theory holds Water. My wife was driving down the main aisle of our local Wal Mart and this older man shoots out of a side aisle and almost hits her. She continues on out to make a left onto the main road and he chases her, drives around her right and makes a left to cut her off. He proceeds to yell at her for not giving him the right of way and that he is a retired police officer and knows the laws, blah, blah, blah. She was so in shock that she didn't know how to react!

This month I'm gonna up my goal and really try to make it to the gym two times during the work week and make it four times a week. I did an hour of cardio on Sunday and then yesterday I had an appt. at an office a mile away from the train, a lot of it uphill. So I'm definitely counting that. One mile there and one mile back.

As long as you can handle the running, I don't see why not.

I've been watching since the beginning and love the show. From what I understand, tomorrow night's episode will not do anything to answer any questions, but is still an exciting episode. And tonight's rehash is supposed to have been enhnced with onscreen commentary.

My wife and my kids were in on the decision, since I felt they had a right. My sisters and my mom knew and two close friends. I haven't told anyone else and when I get comments on my weight lose I just pass it off to going to a nutritionist.

I lost a lot of time due to a bad cold and not working out because I couldn't breathe. I'm going to have to make the effort to add a second night dring the work week in February. Crazy Ates January Exercise Challenge 5 / 13 Exercise Sessions

I lost all respect for Dr. Phil when he went to speak to Britanny Spears and then talked about it on TV. What ever happened to doctor/patient confidentiality?

Just think of it as some added protein :tongue:

No idea why she should gve you a look, but that's her problem. Is a skinny latte and the same as ordering a non-fat latte? I usually order a decaf venti non-fat triple shot latte (although lately, I've been sticking to straight decaf coffees for my daily fix. It can get expensive after a while :rolleyes2: )

I'm ashamed to say I got fooled by this and I hope that nobody thought that my post was in support of the OP. Although I am not Christian, I respect all beliefs and should have paid closer attention to the tone of the subject to have recognized it for what it was.

You cannot beat destiny. Giants all the wya. (Besides, I heard on GMA this morning that Tom Brady is in a soft cast)

During the World Series of Poker broadcast on ESPN, a couple of the final conestants were thanking G-d for dealing them a winning hand. As if He has nothing better to do :girl_hug:

Is there a problem with the site navigation? Every link I click on in my subscriptions is going to the same post about fills. And every forum I click on seems to be going to the same forum. I cleared my cache, logged off and back on and the problem still exists. I don't even know where this post is going to end up.

Sorry, but the guy that took the cake was the nut job in the belly dancer outfit. As a guy, I winced when they showed the scenes of him having his chest hair removed.

My daughters got me into AI during the second season and now I watch it all the time, while they hardly have time to watch. I just can't wait until we get through the hours of lousy auditions before we get into the real competition.
