Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Okay, I’m Officially Obsessed with Work Out

I’ve been watching the previews for this show forever, but I never actually considered watching it. But my (fabulous!) trainer always talks about it. Like, we do ten minutes of abs, ten minutes of upper body, ten minutes of lower body, and then ten minutes of Work Out recap. So I finally decided to tell my DVR to record it, and have been spending the evening getting all caught up. And it’s amazing. It’s like The Hills but with grown-ups with amazing bodies. So much drama! So many six-packs! And lesbians!

Plus, one of the trainers is my future husband. His name is Greg Plitt, and we are getting married in the spring. Or as soon as he becomes aware of my existence. Whichever comes first. Look at him:

OMG we are getting married STAT. Total, insane hotness. I’m in love. I’m happy whenever he’s on screen. I plan our wedding in my head. The color scheme will match his eyes, and instead of having a ring bearer he will just hold our rings in his abs. And instead of reading vows he’ll just flex. And I’ll have a gorgeous, long, V-neck Vera Wang gown, and he will not have a shirt on at all. And instead of driving off to our honeymoon he will just pick up the entire car, with me inside, and jog us to the airport.

I have got to get my body in shape for Greg. I’ve been being really, really good about my diet, but then tonight for some reason I totally broke down and ate half a pint of cookie dough ice cream with whip cream. And I mean whip cream. Like I just held the thing of whip cream in one hand, scooped out a spoonful of ice cream with the other hand, then drenched the spoon in a tower of whip cream and ate it. Lather, rinse, repeat. And then I felt disgusting and sad and considered throwing it all up, but then I remembered that I’m not 17 anymore, and, like, I really have enough adult issues in my life today that I don’t need to toss bulimia in the mix. So I’m sitting here, writing this, unhappily digesting my ice cream and whip cream and watching Work Out and being sad because I will never ever get a guy who looks like Greg because I will always have the body fat percentage of, like, a Beluga Whale. Sigh.

Anyway. It’s a good show.

  • I know how that feels.

    like margaret cho said, for me, losing weight is a full time job…

  • fret not Beet……if perchance plan ‘A’ doesn`t materialize for you with ‘Greg who-si-what-si`….there`s always plans ‘B’ through to ‘Z’ to fall back on with guys like us with super duper big abs……….(well actually , make that ‘one only ‘really really big ab)
    ……………….hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!……..

  • i dunno beet i actually think he’s kinda yuk. but hold on to your dreams!!! i totally know how the ice cream dealio works though. i don’t even like ice cream. buuut i still do it. sigh.

  • see, that’s why dieting madfly doesn’t work – you need some indulgent snacks occasionally!
    If you don’t get them, eventually you have to binge on icecream or whatever. We all do it – don’t feel guilty Beet, just move on.

  • Don’t worry Beet!!! Lots of us fight that same battle. I have found that once you get your metabolism cranked up and running, you won’t be able to get enough food to not be hungry. Eat what your body tells you that it needs and keep working out. It is a process that takes time. Also, take a picture of yourself and hide it. Stay with your workouts and after 3 months, take another picture of yourself. Then, compare the 2 pictures so that you can see the progress that you have made. When you see this, it will keep you motivated. We all love you, Beet. Keep at it.

  • I love Workout! But not Greg, sorry. His lips bother me. They look like he doesn’t actually have lips. Like his skin just continues up and into his mouth.
    Anyway. I saw him the other day on an old TLC show. I didn’t watch a lot of it, but he lived with some other guys and they were getting their house all fixed up to sell.
    Also. Have you noticed his hair and wardrobe in his confessionals? He’s wearing what appears to be a white Miami Vice like blazer and his hair is this very wet, gooey gel mess.
    Sorry.

  • lmao @ ugh.. spot on. he reminds me of JOE from family guy. and im a little disturbed by how all the women made fun of him before he started working there…but now they all swoon over him. renessa{the hell kind of name is that} is gross….BUT greggy does have a delicious body….

  • Last night during Work Out, I ate 4 pieces of toast and two glasses of milk. I had done soooooooo good on my diet the entire day, then comes the post boyfriend, night time food depression and t.v viewing, and here comes the toast. Loaded with butter and raspberry preserves. The milk, loaded with chocolate malted milk mix. It was yummy, but made my dieting during the day all for nothing. Greg is nice looking Beet, but his stuffed crotch worries me.

  • Jackie got caught lying. She talked negatively about the breast cancer surviors’ boob job . So did one of her coworker, but they did a voice over on camera and blamed it on everybody but Jackie. She’s a piece of shit, and a fake pimp. Ask me how I really feel…

  • Just curious, but does anyone know what happened to that one trainer, Zen? She was on the first two seasons and is absent in this one. There is another trainer that used to be friends with Peeler and Doug, the poor guy that passed away, and he isn’t on the show anymore either. Does anyone know what happened to the two of them?

  • I watched the first season and loved it, loved Jackie too. This time, I can’t stand Jackie, she seems to full of herself! I did not like the way she took over the girls class while on the boat, I did not like how she spoke to the girls when they confronted her at the bar.

    I was EXTREMELY dissapointed to see her lie about having said anything about the cancer survivor! Furthermore, I was extremely dissapointed that she fired that guy because he confronted her about what she said. Oh, and by the way, Jackie was the first to drop the F bomb when she fired him, it wasn’t the other way around as the two girls reported when they walked out and told the other cast members.

    One last thing, the new guy, not cute at all. The body, hot, the face, NOT. He was a carpenter on the show, Design to Sell on HGTV. I guess he has been on several shows!

  • Okay, do not beat yourself up for having the ice cream. You may be the first client I have ever had to eat something like that while watching a workout show. We should probably explore that(smile).
    You have been working hard and eating really well. An occasional slip should not hinder your progress as long as it is occasional and not daily. Climbhigh and tarn make good points. It’s one day at a time. You begin every day with a clean plate and a clean slate. Your efforts will pay off – I promise!! I am very proud of you so far. And BTW, I think you have fabulous taste in men – he is gorgeous!

  • I wonder when everyone is finally going to figure out that lesbian chick is a tranny…
