The Biggest Loser Update

I never commented on last week's episode. I finally got a chance to watch it on Monday night this week and to be quite honest with you, the only thing I remember is the fact that Cathy went home.

Oh, wait all the contestants went home for a week. Did you see the size of Ron's other son? Ginormous, and the mom is like a tiny little bean pole. Hey Ron--nice effort on the half marathon though--really way to power through it.

Then there was the cookie challenge. I feel a little bit bad for Tara because she got screwed out of $10,000 because someone ate a cookie, but she should recognize that she is the biggest threat.

Speaking of that, lets get to this weeks episode. Tara--do you have a target on your back?

Geez, how many times did we have to hear that? I do applaud her for pulling a car filled with 257 extra pounds across the finish line first and I do kind of feel bad that she has yet to hit the 100lb lost mark, but I am tired of her whining.

Which brings me to the point that everyone cries entirely too much on this show!

So, Aubrey got saved last week by Cathy-who looks great btw (I saw her on the Today show) and whose other daughters are also losing weight-but this week she couldn't be saved. I was actually glad that they showed her having trouble at home. I think it is much more realistic that people leave the ranch and gain back at least some of the weight. I do hope she can put herself back on the list and get moving again, but we will see at the finale.

Its Been a While

So, I was gently reminded yesterday that it had been 10 days since my last post.

Honestly, I feel like I got nothing. I have been busy, which has been great, but between working and the Lady and trying to fit in some serious tv time, I have been neglecting my Three Bean readers. For that I apologize.

The Lady has been demanding time on the "puter" so I am limited to when I can actually sit down and pound out what you all have been so desperately craving. I will say not much is new except the Lady has an uncanny ability to find my underwear and wear it around her head. I think she thinks they are some sort of necklace.

I promise, I will come up with something worth reading!

Playdate

Here are some pics from yesterday's playdate on LI.

Too cute.



The Lady plays the drums!

Three little ladies.

Biggest Loser Update

I am sorry I never updated last week's episode. After all the build up of the to be continued. . . I actually missed the first twenty minutes of the show because we were up at the in-laws picking up the Lady.

I did gather that Mike lost the weight needed to keep everyone around for an extra week.

Oh, but sparks did fly. Fillipe lost it on Jillian, which was kind of fun to watch. I do love how Sione has his back.

I did find it odd that they just left and started to work out with Bob, but in all honesty who cares?

I don't know why everyone is always up Bob's ass anyway, Jillian has trained the winner for the last two seasons and they seem to be able to keep off the weight.

What I have decided about this season's cast is that they aren't really "getting it." Not only did we have the overeating, drink fest that was the 24 hours of luxury, but everyone is still crying and making excuses--please just work out. How is it that after how many weeks that people are actually putting on weight?

Tara--you are super annoying. Laura--you will relapse and gain all the weight back when you get home. Ron--seriously, you are still over 3 bills, I know your knees hurt and you are kind of old, but really you should be dropping bigger numbers. Mandy--thank goodness you stepped it up and did the right thing by going home last week, I will not miss your tears. Kristen--you still have major lbs to lose you and your mom better get on the ball because Ron isn't dropping much and I am not sure that alliance you created is actually going to help you. Mike--thank goodness you are working your ass off. Tongan cousins--just suck it up and work out with Jillian, enough is enough. Aubrey--you too need to stop crying and just step it up a bit, you are looking good. Helen--you are actually doing really well and I really like you and I am happy that you are reaching your weight loss goals and I hope that you can maintain it and go far in the competition. Jillian--stop with the bull and just train these people.

I think I covered just about everyone.

I am taking a class for the next 5 weeks on Tuesday nights, so I will have to TiVo the BL, which is probably a good thing because I can fast forward through all the recaps. I will try to update by Wednesday though, I know how much you are all looking forward to it!

Looks like the contestants go home this week. Did you see how big Ron's other son is? He is only 16. That kid better start taking after his brother or he is very quickly going to end up with the physique of his father.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you out there celebrating.

I am jealous that the cold sweet deliciousness of a many a beer may grace the throats of my fine readers today.

I am eagerly anticipating the first night home from the hospital when I will drink down a frothy Guinness to "help" with my milk production and freely combine with the pain killers I will request.

Be safe. Have a great day.

Happy (Belated) Birthday

Happy Birthday to the Wild Man's mom.

I didn't get a chance to get online yesterday (no access at the temp job) so I was unable to send the electronic shout out to my sister.

I hope you had a great day. Thanks for reading. I love you!

Baby News

I had a busy week. I worked out of the house for two whole days! In between I made the trip up to MA to visit the newest member of the family, celebrated the Wild Man's moms b-day and picked up my little sister from college, updates and BL recap to come.



Congrats to Bunny's Mom and to the Bunny for the arrival of the newest member of their family. I am calling this guy the Mad Man, even though these shots of him are nothing but totally sweet.
