Back up on the horse

I've returned to WW as a member, not as a leader. Although all the receptionists and the territory manager keep asking when I'm going to come work for them. WHEN I TAKE OFF THIS 15 POUNDS. So back to the meetings, back to tracking, back to just trying to stick to it 70% of the time.

I've been going to the gym pretty steadily since AS shamed inspired me to start working out again. I'm following the Winning By Losing (Jillian Michaels natch) workout program to the letter - and while it's not nearly as difficult as her 30 day shred (which i was doing last spring), it's kicking my flabby fanny.

I know I need to get rid of the negative self talk, but I just don't look like *me* when I look in the mirror. It feels like such a set back - yes, I know I had a reason, I know it's only been a month, I know that I need to be kind to myself and just start where I am with no recriminations - but it's not easy. I sure am learning a lot about what my WW clients go through. This time around's been difficult for me, and i need to learn from it.

Speak of learning, I need to get off the TWOP Biggest Loser message boards and finish my presentation on the Biopsychosocial Integrative Model for my Intervention class tonight. I'm in the last three weeks for school (holy shit) and I've got a HELL of a lot of work to do, and here I am blogging about it instead of actually doing it.

By the way, I'm taking Intro to Behavioral Neuroscience next semester - it's supposed to be one of their toughest classes and I am just FREAKING OUT i'm so excited.

Question: What TV shows can you not live without? I have decided to eliminate all unnecessary tv viewing (yes, I know, it's ALL unnecessary). But it appears that the ones to make the cut for me are: Biggest Loser, 30 Rock, Rachel Maddow, and the Daily Show. 4 hours per week (although if you watch Biggest Loser by Tivo and ff through all the irrelevant bullshit they pack into it, you can watch it in an hour). So, three hours of TV per week. Oh, no, wait.Duh. Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart are on 4-5 days per weeks, sigh, so that's......8.5 hours of tv per week.

Yikes. That's a lot.

But that's also me eliminating: How I met your mother, Big Bang Theory, Life, Countdown with K.O., The office, My Name is Earl, and the occasional cooking or gardening show. No wonder my house is a mess and I haven't read a book in a century, and I'm behind on my school reading. Evil, bad tv!!
