Tuesday's Episode of The Biggest Loser

This will be my first post this season about The Biggest Loser, not because I haven't been watching it but because some of the people on the show this season just really piss me off. I try not to be hateful and I certainly don't want to bring that feeling here.

After watching Tuesdays show on my not so modern furniture, I actually said to my husband that I am not sure if I can continue to watch the rest of the season. Mind you, I have loved The Biggest Loser ever since its first season and I have been a faithful fan. I have never seen a group, you can't call them a group it is 2 couples as mean, vindictive and just down right nasty like I have seen of the ring leader Vicky, her follower husband Brady (I bet he is led around by his you know what) then you have Heba, who is defiantly the boss and her hubby Ed, who has the same personality as Brady. Quite honestly Vicky and Brady are the couple I hate the mos. They are only there for the money and her big fat mouth has no problems letting you know that. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw that (excuse me) that bitch. She is cruel and repulsive and I hope she goes home next week. I hate to say it but, being in it only for the money will get these two absolutely no where and I would place bets that one year after the show Vicky and Brady will be back to the plump overweight selves.. I have to commend Amy C. for following her heart, they would have picked her off first anyways.

I guess you can't kick people off the show for stating they are only there for the money but quite honestly if you aren't really there to help yourself then maybe you should just go home. There are plenty of other people who would have loved to have those two spots.

I Need New Eyewear

I always dread the eye doctor and as I normal I have procrastinated going to see him. I know, it is not the best this to blow off and I think I do it because every time I go it results in needing new glasses and contact lenses. I can't remember the last I have gone and was able to leave with no change, there is ALWAYS a change! How do I know there has been a change, it is all in the contact lenses..

I guess the other issue for me is the cost. Contacts run me about $300.00 and eyeglasses run me about another $250.00...sigh. I think I will try something different this year though. I have heard a lot about Zenni Opitcal and there low cost eyeglasses packages. Nothing wrong with at least checking them out! With so much going on and the need to save money maybe I will take a stab at it here, I usually only wear my glasses at home, so if the frames aren't quite what I am looking for, that is okay. Since the do have a huge selection of new arrivals I am sure it won't be to difficult, well at least one can only hope!

In this day and age I think it is a good idea to shop around. People are getting laid off, business are closing and with Zenni Optical offering such great deals on eyeglasses people might want to check them out. I haven't quite made up my mind yet but if you know someone who is on a tight budget why not suggest they check out this site.

To Reward or Not?

So I have been doing fairly well going to the gym. I have to admit that I haven't felt this good in a very long time! I have been mainly focusing on going to work out versus dieting. I know they go hand in hand, but it seems that dieting has not been my main priority! It is all good as far as I am concerned.

So my husband thinks that I should reward myself since I have managed to stick with it since August. Winter is coming and he suggested that I could go get a pair of Classic UGGs! I was shocked, where did his cheap side go?? What to do?? Ummm...I certainly don't need to spend all that money on a pair of boots when I have a child who could be off to Florida. Besides, it is not my style to spend money like that on one item. So my reward will be a new outfit and maybe a new pair of shoes, but most likely the money will be saved in case the boys to make it to Florida. It won't be cheap, that's for sure!

Who Are We? We Are the Colts! Who We Gonna Beat? Pomperaug!

Strange Phone Numbers

RING RING, run to the phone....

Have you ever received a phone call and answer the phone only to get a recording or dead silence? I know I have and since they have come out with caller ID I don't answer any call when it is an unfamiliar number. Today at work, bored as usual and surfing the internet, I found this pretty neat site called www.reportphonenumbers.com . This site allows you to list the phone number and leave a comment about the caller. At www.reportphonenumbers.com you can also look up an unknown phone number to see id any other use has listed it already. So if you are trying to avoid someone or some company this might be the site for you. If it is a telemarketer you can inform the whole world or warn them who the mystery caller is. Check it out, maybe look up some of those unnown numbers that have showed up on your caller ID..

I know, completely off topic but, hey what can I do?? Not

Fooled, Again

I am a big Internet surfer and when I ever came upon CAT6 I thought it had to do with some sort of medical device or test, something of the sort. Well I could not have been anymore off base than I was with this one. CAT6 was going to be something new and exciting to blog about here at A Day In The Zone...aaawww nope! CAT6 is actually electronic stuff, yup! Isn't it amazing how you can assume what something is by what it is called. So with that idea kicked to the curb I can tell you that they do have all types of thingys to hook up your home theater system! Jacks, panels, security, power, basically what ever you need!

Well now I am off to research some info that might fit well over here at this blog. Maybe Tree Man will come up in conversation again. Athough it was creepy to watch and still lingers in my mind, I really do feel for people who have such harsh diseases.

I Think I Have Been Scarred

Ok, so I am one of those die hard Discovery Health and TLC channel watchers. Not much bothers me when it comes to shows that have to do with facial deformities and different things of that nature. That is until last night...Last night I watched 2 hours of the Tree Man on TLC. This man had massive warts growing all over his body and his hands and feet looked like tree roots. Now I feel all out of sorts, I mean usually it doesn't bother me but I just can't shake the feeling of being really, well, grossed out. I know it is not his fault and maybe it is because it is warts, I don't know. I kinda wish I went and looked for that tv lift cabinet that my husbands want. I just feel creeped out and now I am kicking my self in the ass for watching not 1 hour but 2 hours of shows about this guy. I really do feel bad for him and they have been trying to help him, thank god.



Ir amazes me how brave people are and very brave at that because I would never be able to walk around with such a disorder like this. Now, I am going to go have a cigarette and try to get this out of my mind.

Candy

Oh my weakness...Halloween is my favorite time of the year and unfortunately I enjoy eating the candy too! This year I am going to try hard not to eat so much, seeing as the gym is really paying off! Really though it is soo hard to say no to the little chocolaty bars that I hand out every year..How could I deprive the children of such goodness? I know, contributing to their sugary addictions and possible acne problems is not good either, but after all, it is Halloween. Geez...snap out of it already!

So do you guys help fuel the childhood addictions to sugar on such an awesome night? Or are you they family that hands out other things such as little boxes of raisins, bags of pretzels or something else? Please do share with me what you give out for Halloween goodies. I am always open to hearing what kids refer to "that house" are giving out this year.
