Tuesday night leftovers

Now that majority of the shows like A.I., Dancing with the stars, Bizzare Foods, and No Reservations are finished for the season I can focus on my other shows like the Workout and Hell's Kitchen. Out of all the Tuesday night line ups, those two seem to hold the most drama and last night was no exception.

The "Workout" seems to be doing fairly well without the drama the Peeler used to bring. It appears the Jackie always gets herself into some kind of dramatic situation be it with her staff or her love life. This time it was all about "mom".

Apparently "mom" disagrees with Jackie's lifestyle and makes it known that she doesn't approve. Jackie invites her girlfriends family to stay with her, her girlfriend, and her visiting mom. Talk about cutting the tension with a hacksaw. I'm not even in the show and I felt uncomfortable. It was drama none the less and showed a rarely seen side of gay/lesbian family turmoil. This aint no "Family Ties". BTW, it was still interesting to see how they keep bringing Peeler back into the foray even though he got kicked out of Sky Lab.

Lou

On a side note, Louross got kicked out of Hell's Kitchen last night. It was Petroza to vote for the 2 people that he thought were the worst on the blue team. He ended up picking Louross and Jen. In the end Ramsey allowed Petroza to choose the person to get ousted and he said "Louross". WTF?! I am I the only one out there that would have chosen Jen in a heartbeat. For now, it's still a team effort and that b*%#h can't work as a team member. I think that was a huge mistake for Petroza.

Here's my rundown on the order of people I think should be eliminated. No. 1 would have to be Jen, No.2 would be Matt, No. 3 would be Cory and the rest can fight it out for the finals. Now doesn't that sound better?

The "Workout" Plan to Fitness

Well as some of you may know I'm kind of a Bravo TV junkie. It's funny how I started to just watch "Top Chef" on Bravo and how I've expanded to "Workout", "Step It Up", and "Make Me a Supermodel". OK, I admit that the last two I haven't really followed all season but do watch the reruns of them on the weekends.

So I'm watching this "Workout" show which features Sky Sports and Spa owner Jackie Warner and her crew, and I'm thinking to myself, "wow, these girls are hot". Then...I come to find out that majority of them are lesbians. Don't get me wrong, gender identity is a thing of the past and is so mainstream that sexual preference really doesn't bother me but...Rebecca is soooo HOT for a lesbian. You know what I mean. Most people have this image of lesbians being kinda "guy-like" in appearance, but these "Sky" girls are very pretty and with the exception of Jackie...feminine.

Anyway, this isn't a post about sexual orientation or lesbians for that matter, it's about fitness. I have been lucky that most of my life my body has sustained a quick metabolic rate. Unfortunately as I get older it's being to show signs of..*ahem*...rust. So my weekly regime has been bicycling around the neighborhood about 3 times a week, working out with resistance equipment about 3 times also, and throwing in some yoga for streching purposes every now and then. BTW, I do my resistance training at home with a "Bow Flex" like machine. I did have a killer membership with 24 hour Fitness but canceled it due to the crowds and attitudes there...but...that's another story. So I try to maintain this level of fitness but I don't seem to be able to fit into my old pants, I don't look fat, it's just that my original pants don't fit. I know, people say maybe it's muscle, who knows, maybe it is but I'm still gonna try and fit into those old pair of jeans. That's besides the point. A level of fitness should be maintained for health reasons, and it is shows like "Workout" and "The Biggest Loser", even "Ultimate Fighter" and some pro-wrestling shows have inspired me to keep motivated.

So you wanna try and get fit too? Here's a physically easy way to do it. If you stick to this plan you'll lose weight without even excersizing, but you must stick to the meal plan. If you do excersize, you'll just reap faster results. Keep in mind that this is geared toward my weight and you can adjust the amounts with simple math to find your weighted amount. BTW, this is Hawaii so it's based on rice for carbs, utilize what is common in your area. Here it is...
