Stuck recap: Episode 1
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Yes, I really did have a coupon for that ice cream sundae in my freezer. ;)
First, I have to say what a surreal experience it is seeing yourself on TV. While two of the gals, Nicole and Tracy, are actresses, the rest of us aren't. Well, I'm a media whore, but that really doesn't count, does it?
It's just so bizarre seeing things from the camera's point of view. Different things play through your head, like:
What on earth was I chewing on when they did that close up?
Wow, the camera really does add about five gazillion pounds!
Could I have at least brushed my hair before the cameras started rolling?
And then I got caught up in seeing everyone's stories. Please note for the record that Tracy is 37, not 39. Gotta love it when facts aren't double-checked.
Oh, and I'm a man. LOL
I can't speak for the other gals, but everything they showed about me is true. The "below average" message on the treadmill did happen. I'll get over it one day.
And I can't believe that Mary could hold a plank position for 31 seconds at the get-go! At the time I thought the plank position involved an eye patch and having a parrot on your shoulder.
Did you tune in? If so, what did you think? Are you gonna keep on watching?

YEP going to still keep watching. The plank is major hard. I did an ab class just after having Sumo. I was a lot heavier then. So Mary should be uber proud for going into and being after to actually get in position.
I couldn't even raise my self at the beginning to get into the position (that's sad), but at the end of the 8 week course, I did the plank. I held it, and dang it I actually like it.
It takes a LOT of practice.
Actually, when I saw you last weekend I did notice a difference from when we first met. :) And my hubby watched too! He loved your coupon comment. :D
And when we first met was over a year ago at the critique synopsis session where you had me pissing my pants laughing. :)
I was shy.
Amy, I thnk that shyness lasted for about, I dunno, five seconds? LOL
It's incredible to see how far everyone has come along. And it was a nice reminder to see myself attempting to do a single push up. Yeah, maybe "nice" is the wrong word.
Glad to hear you're gonna keep on tuning in! Woo hoo!
Bonnie - the camera really does add weight!!
I was quite surprised when I saw you, thinking... Bonnie is way thinner!(not that you didn't look terrific) Unless they made you eat donuts before shooting LOL
Can't wait to see more of your antics next week.
Don't go giving away all my secret-donut-binge secrets! For me, it's more about being able to actually exercise without feeling like I'm dying than losing any weight.
