So I'm having a rebound fling with Netflix...just with the streaming service. I decided to watch every episode of How I Met Your Mother. I stopped watching in 2008 because I was dating a lot of jackasses and the main character, Ted, was being a giant jackass, so it hit a little too close to home. But now that I'm a boring married lady, I find the show to be insanely entertaining.
Simon and I are still doing our vegan thing with minimal cheating. At dinner the other night, Simon said, "It's amazing - the weight is just falling off now that we're vegan. I'm not watching what I eat or exercising or anything." I thought about pouring nacho cheese down his throat.
This morning, he announced: "Guess what! I weighed myself and I weigh XXX lbs. That's the lowest I've weighed in five years and I'm not even trying.!" Again, I thought about force-feeding him Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
While Simon has dropped about 15 lbs in two weeks without even trying, I'm stuck with my measly 2. I realize that it's harder for women..but GRR.
But then, I watched this scene from How I Met Your Mother and Marshall made me feel much better!

Argh - HATE the Scales!
After working my hiney (my Sapphire Glitter Hiney to be exact) off in boot camp for the past week, I went to my Weight Watchers meeting expecting to be goddess of the scales.
Instead, I gained .4 lbs. I know that's not a ton of weight, but I didn't want to gain after all my hard work. The leader told me it was normal to gain after changing up your workout and it might be 6 weeks before my body adapts to exercise. 6 WEEKS! I only have 3 weeks left in camp - I better lose something.
I don't understand the whole 'muscle weighs more than fat' deal You've got a pound of muscle and a pound of fat - they both weigh a pound. I know muscle takes up less space - but shouldn't it weigh the same? Maybe I'm just over-thinking it.
To make matters worse, my friend couldn't join me today so I sat down next to a kindly-looking woman who seemed very mom-ish. She proceeded to tell me all about how she gained weight this week because she was using steroids for her asthma. Then her friends sat with us and they all gabbed about shingles (the disease), tumors, cysts, and cancer. It was the most depressing 1/2 hour in my life. I think the most boring topics on earth are money and illnesses - I wanted to go sit at another table but I didn't want to be rude.
I thought about asking them who they thought Bret Michaels was going to pick in Rock of Love, but I figured they weren't fans of the show. Who do you guys think he's going to pick? (If you watch.) I think it might be Heather.
