The Bachelor and South Beach Diet
Last night I started watching The Bachelor. I normally don't watch it, it bores me, but I have some married friends that watch it and they talk about it and so I thought I would watch it so I would be able to chime in this season... and there was nothing else on last night at 8pm.
Charlie O'Connell walked on screen and I couldn't help but think, "Why does this guy look so familiar? Then when they did the Bio of Charlie you find out that his brother is Jerry O'Connell- and that is why he looks so familiar. So once you find out that this guy is rich and famous and that if you ended up with him then you would be living the lifestyle of a hollywood actor, even I wanted to win this contest. Not really, but dang, if they had a bachelorette show with some rich Hollywood actress like Natalie Portman or Amanda Peet, then yeah, I am going to want to win this girls heart, who cares about love, I want the money and the fame! Okay, that sounds really shallow but you know that you would do the exact same thing.
Enough about reality TV, a little bit about me...
The South Beach Diet is still on in full force. 6 weeks into this diet and I am starting to look good. Did I mention that when I get thin I always get really arrogant? Well, I do. And now my slim body is coming with a new set of never-before-seen muscles and I am quite pleased with the results. Critics are giving the new Eddo "Two thumbs up - WAY UP!!!".
I have lost a total of 20 pounds and my Easter dress slacks were way too big, I couldn't wear them. I have been taking Creatine and so I haven't showed a lot of on-scale progress lately in the form of pounds lost, but I have shown progress in my clothes and over-all inches lost. Last week I wore a shirt that I bought 2 years ago and I have never been able to fit in it - so things are good. I still miss pasta, and cake, and donuts, but I don't think about them as much as I did when I first started the diet. I sleep better now, my skin looks healthier, and I feel good - and my heart is probably happier too. The South Beach Diet wasn't invented for people to lose weight, it was invented for heart health and so I like it for those reasons too.

Eddie - I watched part of teh Bachelor adn all I have to say is:
Cat Fight. Oh my goodness where did they find these crazy freaky women. It makes me think that this is really normal and I am just abnormal. But OH MY WORD these girls were too much.
Eddie, I just tried posting this, but then Blogger said, "Dance Monkey Dance" and I am now re-posting:
When I first read "I have been taking Creatine and so I haven't showed a lot", I misunderstood it and read "I have been taking Creatine and so I haven't showered a lot." And I thought to myself, Eddie, I don't understand why you can't shower just because you are taking Creatine.
But then I went back and read that part of the sentence again, and now it makes sense.
EDDIE!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME SHOUTING??? BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR NEW DESIGN!!
It's so bold! And masculine! Yet pretty! :)
Almost like reading a newspaper, but better!!
Love the new template (though I do miss the dragons--can I have them?). I did have trouble posting a comment initially. It seems that Jes did as well. Not sure what that's about.
Blogger is mad at me, I can't log in!! I think that maybe they deleted my account because I sent them another Nasty Gram yesterday and told them they needed to get their act together.
Thanks for the compliments on the new template, however, because blogger has been so stupid I haven't had a chance to propagate it to all my sites yet - eddo frowns.
And I have a great post for today, at least I think it is great, hopefully it will be great.
