Cramp! Cramp!

April 30, 2008

OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK ... I know I am going to get a little slack this episode because of all the trash I talked about Brian during the mud run ... but it was all in good fun. That guy was talking such game before the race, that I thought he was going to be some superstar runner or something ... but alas ... he was TERRIBLE!!! Complaining about a cramp after the first mile, walking behind old ladies, I mean come on ... that's pretty funny ... and you know what, I earned the right to throw a couple jabs Peeler's way ... HE HAD IT COMIN'!!! Seriously though, it was all in good fun and we had a blast.

Mista Sista

April 23, 2008

I loved this episode because it introduced a very special person to me, Natalie, my SkyLab client. It is so great to work with someone ready to create change in their life. Natalie came to the show so completely tired of the way she was living ... and it is so beautiful to see her commit to a new way of living. Keep your eyes on this one. .. she's UNREAL!!!

You get to meet JD this episode. .. my "sista"on the show ... (FYI: "Sista" is a term of endearment shared between homosexuals ... ). JD is such an amazing guy, with a great spirit and an amazing bod ... go figure in LA ... at a gym ... blah blah blah! Of course Jackie tried to stir some drama there by forcefully inducing some flirting ... but just because we are both gay, doesn't mean we have to fall in love ... she should know better!

Back in the Swing of Things

April 15, 2008

Well, there you go. We are back into the swing of things. Jackie's got a new girl, Brian Peeler's got a new problem, and we have a HOT NEW TRAINER ... Greg Plitt.

Though at first glance, I must admit, I had a total preconceived idea of who Greg Plitt was going to be. It didn't take long for me to change my mind. His complete lack of interest in what Jackie thinks ... kinda just ... makes me have a guilty little grin! Keep your eyes on this one ... he knows how to make some noise!

Prepare Yourself for the New Season

March 17, 2008

Well, well, well, here we are once again.

The new season of Work Out is getting ready to premiere, all the trainers are preparing for the shock that a new season always brings and Jackie Warner is either preparing an emergency escape trip to an un-named tropical island or chilling a bottle of expensive champagne in her state of the art refrigerator nested in her beautiful kitchen in her beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills.

You see, nobody on the cast knows what to expect with a new season. Of course, there are suspicions, expectations, and theories ... but until we see the new episodes on television with the rest of America ... we don't know what to fully expect.

Just to Recap... or IN MY DEFENSE...

May 16, 2007

So, another season is officially over. It was interesting to watch the reunion special. A few facts that were left out surfaced ... mainly the fact that perhaps I wasn't totally insane having feelings of discomfort over Jackie and Rebecca dating.

Because the fact of the matter was, Rebecca HAD (and I believe still has) A FRICKIN' BOYFRIEND!

I wasn't allowed to mention that before because it was edited out of the series ... but with that fact in hand, can any of you who threw out arguable comments see my side a little better? Hm.m .. Anyways, for the most part I know I can't win in that situation, so I hang my hat on the topic and am moving on ... Can we all try to do that? Please???

Always Be Loved

May 09, 2007

This was a very special episode for me.

I really loved the tribute to Doug, I thought that it was done so well. Though the passing of a loved one is always a rough time, I rejoice in the situations that we remember all the great qualities of the spirit we lost. Doug was able to share his light with so many people because of this show, and I can't say that it is coincidental he had the opportunity to film the last year of his life ... it gave him an opportunity to truly leave his legacy. He will always be remembered and always be loved.

Everyone got to meet Jasmine in this episode, and I am so happy you did. Jasmine was going through cancer recovery throughout the process of filming this season. I was a little sad that my obligations to the show kept me from getting to see her as much as I wanted to while filming. The producers came to me with a brilliant idea... why not let her tell her story?

"God Bless Blasdell"

May 01, 2007

This was a very hard episode to watch. I think that it also has been the most emotionally dynamic episode to date. It was difficult for the show to deal with the reality (pardon the word choice) of Doug's passing. To honor his memory they really wanted to avoid making anything gratuitous out of the situation.

It was a very sad time in all of our lives, however I choose to remember all the positive contributions that Doug made while he was here on the planet. He was a light of love and generosity and that, my friends, is nothing short of brilliant.

Though Doug is missed, I still smile when I think about him ... and I think that is exactly what he would want ... from all of us.
