So, the hubby and I are sitting here tonight, watching The Biggest Loser. I feel so bad for these obese kids they have on the show this round. It's hard enough being an overweight adult, but how much these kids get picked on is so sad. I think it's great they're having kids on the show though. I usually don't like to watch this show because it reminds me of the "biggest loser" I am.... people talk about how hard it is to quit smoking, to quit drinking, well take it from me people, quitting eating too much is the same damned thing! It's all the same thing. And it's all about starting with baby steps. Right now I've got a lot of weight to lose, and I am very out of shape, and I'm very serious about getting myself to a better place. I know how great I feel when I'm lighter and more active. It's funny, I thought with moving to Florida and not working, I'd be much more active than I actually am. Well, that needs to change. I don't believe in New Year's resolutions, because people hardly ever keep them. I do believe in making yourself healthier and more active, and that's what I need to do. I have obstacles in my way, my bum knee, my low back pain, and of course the good 'ol heart palpitations that always strike the worst when I exercise, but I will persevere and I know my knee and back will both likely feel better when some of this unwanted weight is GONE!! Not going to say "I'm going to lose 25 lbs. by _____ date", that never works. It's a slow process but it can and will be done!
While I think The Biggest Loser is a great show, and most likely very motivational to many people, I won't continue to watch it because it's just not for me. I can't wait to start feeling the muscle aches and pains that I know I'll be feeling for the first few weeks. Bring it on body!!
Stay tuned. I think blogging about this journey will be very therapeutic and motivational for me :)
