The good, The bad, & The Biggest Loser

Yesterday was a weird day. I was feeling really good as i had walked, done the current exercises...who knew i could still do jumping jacks(not quite like when i was 16 but still I'm jumping some) and then did the ex from the 1st week. Being at home i started drinking water and crystal light early and got plenty of water down and the food was good.  No thoughts even about making brownies or a cake which is a common snowed in activity. We listened to the TV about the weather and i played some games on facebook. Watched TBL and wondered why the twins had bothered to apply for and take up space when they didn't want to be away from home. To gain 9 lbs one week and 6 the next just eating a lot of salt and drinking liquid before weigh in wont do it....they had to have eaten a ton extra since they were exercising. Trying and not succeeding is one thing but not trying....I thought they should have let others gotten their slots(twins, cops, dead son and estranged son....good back story for a reality show)......of course someone has to leave and the others were probably glad they were around for that. So i come to read some blogs ...and...
The bad. Allan is stopping phase 4. I had been worried that something was going on in the morning and apparently some people went after him for saying what he had told us he would do when we signed up.  No one held my hand and made me send an email asking to do this.....and i knew that by doing it i was putting myself out in public to be patted on the back or called out, harassed or dropped.
I knew that there were somethings i could not eat, and doing the exercises meant starting slow and working up to getting them,  and was hoping that i wouldn't be weeded out. But just like this is public, and what i write is open to view, by choosing to enter an open public group what is said to me is open to public comment.  Just like the twins why bother to sign up for something and then complain when what it is happens.  Just like TBL isn't right for everyone neither is Allan......but what he does is open and we know what we are getting into.
The good again, maybe.  Allan is setting up a phase 5. It will be 1200 cal choosing from the choices and exercise.  If he lets me i will join. I will try my darnest to do all the exercises and I will plan my meals using that as my guide.
And a funny thing.  Last night i fell out of bed. I don't know what i was dreaming about but i think i rolled over and off the bed bruising my knee and striking my elbow on the nightstand.  At least having lost some weight i was able to untangle the blanket and get myself up as Ron wouldn't wake up.

I am so glad Allan is doing Phase 5. I'm upset that people just can't behave. If they don't like something, why join. Just like you said. Plus it's his blog, his way or take the highway. He's not making you do it. I like how you said it. Keep up the great work girl. Also don't fall out of bed, it hurts.
Take care and have a blessed evening.
