The Biggest Loser September 16, 2008

I love this show! 

Tonight is the season premier and yes I will be watching it while I walk on my treadmil - if feeling better as it seems I am coming down with a sore throat and ear ache. Towards the end of last season (after I gave up going to the bowling ally) I began making the time the show came on my workout time doing either the elliptical or walking on the treadmil.

I get so much motivation and determination when I watch what these people go through and different things they experience as they not only change in appearance but also inside. It makes me think and feel “if they can do it so can I”

Will you be watching The Biggest Loser?

  • very begining weight: 215.4

  3. to be more physically active
  4. to have no weight limitations
  5. to feel good - physically, mentally & spiritually
  6. to look good in the clothes I wear
  7. to wear a bathing suit with confidence
  8. hopes of getting rid of my asthma

They will not tempt me September 5, 2008

Filed under: General — gonnabe @ 9:38 am

with hot crispy creme donuts or anything else they bring in. No I don’t want one!

I wish I could just wear a sign that says “on a healthy lifestyle of eating do not come around with unhealthy food” however this is not possible as I have no control over other people - I do have control over myself and DO NOT HAVE TO EAT UNHEALTHY.

I feel better that I have vented and I am ready to move on.

I seem to be doing pretty well  with phase 1. Hunger is a major thing for me right now since TOM has come to visit yet I seem to be doing okay.

Lastnight was the first time I have exercised in over a week and it was just softball practice which my arm is feeling it today. I have got to get my butt in gear and workout.

I am definetly sleeping better. It’s amazing how your eating has a way of making your sleep functions different. Glad mine are for the good.

I am sticking real strick with the rules this go round. In the past I have changed some things like no beans, to much dairy or nuts. Not this time it’s strict and to the rule.

Won’t be weighing in tomorrow hubby and I have decided to change weigh day to Tuesdays so check back then.
