grr
Is it possible to gain 2 lbs in two days…probably not without gorging. In that case, I’m bloated and I need to bleed soon before I get more irate.
The WW thing is really irritating me. I need to either commit to it (after vacation) or put it aside until after marathon training is over. This intermediate state gives me no progress, an increased sense of frustration and a hate/hate relationship with the scale. I’m skipping this week’s meeting, as I don’t want to get grilled about this 2 lb weight gain by the weigh-in person.
Meanwhile, I’m enthralled with “Fat March,” which is a ridiculous concept on ABC Monday nights. I watch these 250-450 lb individuals walk 10, 12, 13 miles daily and camp at night and I’m SO glad that I only have 20 lbs to lose. I wonder whether their physicians hate them. Some of them went from 0 exercise to a 5 mile walk on the first day. Their calories are also strictly limited. I have to assume that no one died, or the litigation would have prevented the show from airing. I think that ABC should have to have a little runner at the bottom of the screen. Instead of a stock ticker, it would be DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, YOU’LL GET VERY SICK!
I can’t wait for my vacation…only 2 days away. Yes!

Re your comment: yeah, you know I hate to read. HATE it!

Don’t feel too bad…bloating made me gain 5 lbs in a week.
Honestly I don’t think WW and marathon training are a good mix. lol
I don’t get it why people would put themselves through something like “Fat March” and why TV stations feel the need to put that on the air.

Crank - you crack me up. I’m sure it’s water. I am struggling with the diet too. I try to do better on rest days, but you do have to fuel. I am in something like week 10 or 11 and really haven’t lost a pound. I can’t believe that — I’m up over 20 miles a week. Hang in there!!

Ever notice how all these reality shows about people are divided into two distinct catagories. Fat people are forced to lose weight and are filmed running in slow motion and looking generally miserable and thin people are on “The Batchelor” and “Who wants to marry a Millionaire” (i.e., shows about winning in love). Now WHAT does that tell you, huh?? I feel an entry coming on. Thanks for the inspiration. And those two pounds are probably rock hard muscle, Cranky.

It’s actually called “Fat March”?! How about “Gimp Limp” or “Illegal Immigrant River Swim”? (Don’t steal those…I’m gonna call Fox and pitch them tomorrow.)
