Random Stuff from Kcurly

I’ve been on a Biggest Loser kick lately. In spite of the drama and strategically placed advertisements (I mean, aren’t commercials enough? Now I’ve gotta watch mini infomercials during the show!), it is inspiring to see those people lose weight.

• Kcurly will never appear on national television in a sports bra. Those people have got some cojones! More than I do, that’s for sure!
• Kcurly will never weigh-in in front of an audience. Someone would need to shoot me first and drag my carcass to the scale.
• Kcurly does not like being yelled at. I get enough of that from my toddler.
• Kcurly can not cry on command. I can be a big cry baby sometimes,but I swear those people cry every episode. I know that weight loss can be an emotional thing and, I won’t lie, I’ve shed a few tears here and there, but c’mon! Overweight people bawling their eyes out = Ratings magnet?
• Kcurly will never be disappointed to “only” lose 6 pounds in a week. Example:

*Contestant steps on the scale*

Ally: You lost 4 pounds.

Contestant:

Ally: So…how do you feel about that?

Contestant: Well, 4 pounds is fine…yeah, that’s great…but, well it’s just 4 pounds.

Contestant’s team mate: Yeah, 4 pounds sucks!

(At home) Kcurly:

No, in all seriousness, I know that they are playing a game and pulling big numbers is important, but …dang!! You can’t just toss 4 pounds a week out the window. I can’t toss a pound a week out.

• Kcurly would never leave her baby and hubby for months on end.

If I don’t understand anything else on that show, it’s how they can leave their families behind. I could do it if I were single, but not now. I also don’t understand what you tell your job. My supervisors would laugh in my face if I told them I needed time off for a reality show.

That being said I wouldn’t mind spending a week at the Fitness Ridge ranch.

Ahh, look at how neat it is!

Here’s more info on it.

• Lots of physical activity (hiking, water aerobics, cycling)
• Nutrition classes
• Structured diet
• Lovely hotel room

And heeeeere’s the prices!

The rates for The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge are broken down into weekly increments. The more weeks you reserve, the lower the weekly price.

Current Rates

One Week: $1,995

One Week: $1,295

NOTE: Weeks do not need to be consecutive. You can purchase weeks at the multi-week rate and spread them out over a period of time

Eeek! Oh well, none of that in my future.

However, taking a look at this has inspired me to one day plan a vacation  where there is a lot of physical activity. I have never been hiking and would really love to see some beautiful locations.

• Kcurly can never lose weight that fast…and keep it off. I just downloaded a “where are they now” episode of TBL and I see quite a few contestants have gained some of their weight back. One guy, Eric, gained it ALL back. I am convinced that this would be me. Despite TBL’s attempts to teach long term life lessons about staying healthy, I still firmly believe that it takes time to firmly embed those lessons and make them habit.
