After my workout yesterday, Miss Brenda told me that she was going to change up my diet a bit and wanted me to start drinking a protein shake in the afternoon. She told me to go to GNC and get this one particular brand that she recommended since as she put it "my muscles are soft." (No, shit sherlock - I'm two ton Tilly - why do you think I'm here?) But, I just say, "yes ma'am - they are and I would drink blended up cockroaches if it's going to help make my muscles hard."
So off to the GNC store I go. I walk in and the dip-wad behind the counter asks if he can help me and I tell him what I'm looking for. Do you know what his response was? Let me tell you. He said, "oh, ok, are you buying this for someone else?" I replied, slightly stunned, "Um, well, I know what I look like and I know it doesn't look like I exercise but yes, it is for me - believe it or not." What? Did he think I was a personal shopper for someone just be-bopping in to buy my boss some protein? Then, he says, "well, what are your goals?" Um, what do you mean what are my goals? So, I say, "oh, Im really looking to bulk up - I just don't think I'm big enough, ya know?" (Dipshit) My goal is to lose 1000 lbs in 3 months - got any magic potion in here that can do that? Now, give me my damn protein and let me get gone. I've got some fat to fight.

Biggest Loser Weigh-in
We (me and Rosemarie the other biggest loser competitor) completed our 1st 4 weeks of training. It was so hard but I must admit I have enjoyed it. It's funny, the cycle I get in because as most of you know, I'm either an all or nothing person. When you know you're making smart decisions about eating and in an exercise routine then you feel better about yourself and life in general. But when I'm on the other end of the spectrum, like a pig at a troth, then I feel generally crappy about myself and my world. So, I like this cycle that I'm on and hopefully, won't go back to the dark side.
On Saturday, August 28th we had our 1st weigh-in. I lost 20 lbs and 24 inches. Ok, so the paper says I lost 19 lbs but that's only because she made me weigh with my shoes on. But I did do an unofficial weigh-in with my shoes off and it was 20lbs. Plus, I like that number better anyway. Then, we had to take those God-awful pictures again and she posted them on her website. We were looking at the before and after pictures side by side and all-business Brenda and Rosemarie were oohing and aahing over the difference. But all I could think about was that Friends episode when Rachel and Ross were at the doctor's office for her 1st ultrasound of the baby and the doctor kept pointing out the different parts of the baby and Rachel acted like she could see the baby but once the doctor left she admitted to Ross that she couldn't see it. Did you see that episode? Well, that was me looking at the photos. I couldn't see any changes. Now, I know I am my own worst critic but seriously, can't see the changes. I can feel the changes but I don't see it. So, since I still have so far to go I'm going to keep fighting the fat.
