Gotta love fall TV

What Fat Girl is complete without her love of TV and classic couch potato status? Definitely not this one.

So here's the rundown so far:
I LOVE Bones - it's probably my favorite show right now. Love the new season (Started last Thursday), cannot wait to see where Hart Hanson takes this. (It probably also helps that I tweetstalk Hart Hanson (writer), Stephen Nathan (writer), Eric Millegan (Actor: Zach Addy), and TJ Thyne (Actor: Jack Hodgins), and Stephen Fry (Actor: Gordon Gordon) so I see a little of what's coming).
HOUSE - is completely and totally a powerHOUSE of a show. The season opener was great. While I missed the rest of the cast, it was nice to see House in the asylum and interacting with other patients. Cannot wait for next week already.
How I Met Your Mother - Also started this week - LOVE Ted, and I'm really looking forward to meeting "the Mother" and of course the drama that is bound to come from the Robin/Barney thing.
** NEW** The Good Wife - Okay, you caught me, I love law TV shows. Perry Mason was my initial inspiration to become a lawyer (when I was 5), I adored Ally McBeal, and now, it's The Good Wife. Okay, fine. I'll admit it, in addition to loving lawyer shows, I *puffy heart* ADORE Matt Czuchry. But the rest of the cast is great too: Josh Charles, Christine Baranski, Chris Noth (Mr. Big) and Julianna Margulies. So far, I really like the show. It seems to be a good balance of personal life + lawyer stuff. My one qualm? Not nearly enough Matt Czuchry.
Royal Pains, which is currently off season, but USA makes a great show, and this is just another hit. Plus hello: Mark Feuerstein!! AND Campbell Scott (from Singles - one of my favorite movies EVER!)
Psych: Again USA - James Roday and Dule Hill are both GREAT, and the show is funny and witty, and full of the pop culture references that I love. If you haven't seen it yet, give it a chance.
** The one I'm meaning to pick up ** Glee - another Fox show - which just looks entertaining, but I missed the first episode (thanks husband for deleting it from the DVR before I got to watch the whole thing) and now I have to play catch up - we'll see how this goes.

My problem with fall tv is this: If I fall in love with a new show (which ALWAYS happens) it will be cancelled. Therefore, I try to limit myself to only one or two new shows a season, so I don't end up heartbroken when the inevitable cancellation occurs.

Well, I guess we'll just see where it goes, and happy viewing to you!

Fat Girl goes to the Gym

That's right. For some wacky reason, I joined the gym. AND I've actually been going. 6 days a week no less!
Does that mean I'll be Fat Girl no more? I don't think so. It's been almost a month, going for an hour a day, most days of the week (Pretty much every day except Thursdays) and I don't think I've even lost a pound.
So what's the point? I don't know, but I enjoy it.
The logical question is this: don't you want to stop being fat, Fat Girl?
Answer: Of course I do. However, it seems that in order for that to be the case, I must stop eating. And we all know that isn't going to happen.
So I guess for now, I'll enjoy the classes, (yoga twice a week and spinning twice a week) and the elliptical machines and treadmill, and know that maybe I can eat without gaining weight.

Of course, with my luck, I'll spend 6 hours at gym every week, sweating my ass off, only to gain weight.

But we'll see.

I guess it is doing something for me though, I ran three quarters of a mile yesterday, and didn't keel over dead. I'm on my way to at least one more item on my list.
