I am definitely a Biggest Loser fan. There are lots of reasons that I like the show, but the biggest right now is that it motivates me to work out. Sometimes I feel like the trainers are talking to me and encouraging me, and that is a great boost when I feel like I just can't exercise. I have always cared about being in shape, but as some of you know, my timetable of wanted to get my pre-baby figure back has been moved way up. We have won a week long cruise that happens to leave the last week of February. I initially didn't want to go because I would be leaving my 2 boys behind. However, with Mom coming to watch them, I am not worried and know that they will be fine. But I still haven't been excited to go because I don't really like my body right now. I know, I know, how lame am I to even think about complaining about a free cruise-but I would just like to feel good in a swimming suit, and maybe have more that one pair of pants to wear while I'm on it. So the point...
I have been working out here and there, but haven't been really dedicated to it. Yet I keep saying that I'm not going to be in shape etc. On the Biggest Loser last night, Jillian (one of the trainers) was talking to a guy about why he was having a hard time working out with them, when they were changing his life. She said that she thought he was so worried about getting thin because then he wouldn't have any excuse for things anymore and that he was worried about failing in some way, so it was easier to give up. I can totally relate to that. I have been feeling like there is no way that I am going to get to the size I want by the cruise, and those thoughts have set me up for failure. It is easier to just complain that I can't do it, rather than try my best. So today I set some goals. Not unrealistic goals like losing 30 pounds in the next six weeks, or not eating anything yummy, or working out for hours at a time. I know that those won't happen right now. However, I have set the goal to simply try my best. To stop complaining and simply DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! That way, when I look back at this time, regardless of how I look on the cruise, I will know that I did everything that I could to be in shape.
How great that there is a decent show on right now that makes me feel really positive afterward.

Sounds like a great goal - I should probably do the same but even walking hurts so I will just be envious of your body if that's ok with you. You have always looked so great . . . I'm jealous!
I love the Biggest Loser and saw that episode. I love that she got past his fears and told him to just go for it - he lost 8 pounds that weigh in and was so excited. I know if I just do the same thing - something rather than nothing and complaining - is a great idea. I should work on that (I'll put it on a to do list :)) Good luck on your goal - I know you can do it.
