Biggest Loser...New Season

Hi everyone,

A new season of the Biggest Loser started tonight and of course I'm watching!! I love the show!! The first season started with a medical emergency!! One of the contestants was taken to the hospital after walking just one mile!! It just broke my heart. It broke my heart, because I could relate. It helped to reinforce the decision I made back in December to get healthy. For good this time.

This time, I'm not just sitting at home, fat and unhealthy watching, wishing I got a chance to go on the biggest loser ranch and lose weight with Bob and Gillian!! This season, I'm moving along, exercising, transforming my body, getting healthy right along with them. Hey, I'm even a bit ahead of them! I always told myself, "if only I could be on that show, then I'd lose that weight". Well, I know better. Although the show is very successful and the contestants usually have fabulous results, one can also have fabulous results at home!! Just take a look at the successes members of this blogging community! Just as incredible and it's just as inspiring as those contestants on the show!!

So as I follow along this season (and I know a lot of you do as well), just remember that we all can do this even if we're not on the "ranch" or somewhere similar. We are all born with the potential, strength and determination necessary to do anything we want to do!! Let's do it!!


Until next time...

I'm Out of the Slump.....

Hey guys,

It's Saturday morning and I had a great workout this a.m. I rocked it!! I didn't work out on Thursday or Friday and I was starting to worry. But I must say, I received a few emails and comments after my previous post and they were so encouraging!! It really helped me to get back on track. Thank you so much guys!!

My trainer, Rob is awesome!! He not only provides me with the right tools to become physically fit, but every now and then he will send me some "words of inspiration"!! He just seems to always know the right things to say to get me pumped and ready to go. He just sent me the following, which I plan to recite on a daily basis:

"You were born with potential.You were born with goodness and trust.You were born with ideals and dreams.You were born with greatness.You were born with wings.You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.You have wings.Learn to use them and fly." Rumi

Anyway, I'm feeling better. Next week should be my last "crazy-busy" week at work and things should get back to normal after that. So for now, it's one day at a time!!!

Until next time...
