karl and i had date night last night after the baby went to bed.
it included the following things:
it included the following things:
- a bottle of red wine (ok, a glass for me. i am a pretty cheap date these days.)
- four toasted brown sugar and cinnamon poptarts
- the biggest loser 2 hour season opener
I was a happy girl.
Biggest Loser is Family this season - four married couples and four parent/child teams. It's an amazing dynamic and I am pretty excited about it. Oftentimes, they are training with their 'enablers' and i really enjoy watching them overcome their health issues together. i cried ALREADY - several times. it gets me every time! so silly. they estimated one of the 23-year-old's contestants 'inside body age' as 49! One couple lost 47 pounds this week. 47. i love that show. mostly because it promotes exercise and doesn't focus on diet too much. i know it's not realistic to expect the contestants to keep up that level of activity IRL but just getting them started and showing them that ACCOMPLISHED feeling/high after a workout.... i love it. it totally wants to make me become a bad ass trainer like Bob and/or Jillian. More Jillian than Bob, really. Though if I was picking a trainer for myself, I would want Bob. Hmmmm. Whatever. They are both amazing trainers. Ok, sorry off on my tangent. Oh, reality TV. what would i watch without you!?
the baby has been excessively happy and smiley today. i almost got a real laugh out loud moment of him this morning.
last week in STL, cousin Wendy (she is five.) said "His first word is "oooooooooo."

LOVE the description of date night. My oh my, have we been there. :)
Also very very glad to know that others cry like babies when it comes to Biggest Loser. I only watch three episodes: one close to the beginning of the season, the makeover episode, and the finale. I BAWL on every single one. I just love seeing those fat asses and turkey gobblers (on the chin and under the arms) melt away. So inspirational! :)
Date night rocks =)
