The Biggest Loser!

I love this show! Right now, it's the only show I really try to make time to watch. (I really, really need to join the 21st century and get TIVO). I find it very interesting and inspiring. This season most of the contestants seem like pretty good people (okay, Joelle is "interesting" but she's gone now) and it's going to be fun watching how well some of these people do. The eliminated players updates have been pretty impressive for the most part. Check out the show on Tuesday nights if you haven't yet.

Since it is the beginning of a new year and a good time for resolutions, I will comment on one of my resolutions and how it is going. I've been resisting writing about it on the blog but I've decided maybe going public (to at least the three people who read) might be motivational.

So, I have decided to take the Biggest Loser Challenge! I went back to Weight Watchers three weeks ago. I'm not ready to throw out an actual number, but let's just say I was the heaviest I've ever been but this season there still would have been plenty of people in the cast bigger than me!

After one week, I lost 6.4 pounds. I thought that was pretty darn good!! Week 2--anybody who is a fan of the show will tell you week 2 is rough--I lost one pound. I weighed in last night for week 3 and. . . . . I lost 2.2 pounds. That's 9.6 pounds in three weeks. Feeling pretty good about that!! If you've watched the show this season, you'll know that's more than some of the at-home contestants did in 30 days.

However, now I need to figure out how to get more exercise in! Always a struggle since I'm pretty sure I still need to sleep. Anybody got any ideas? I'm a regular at the gym--on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 you'll see me there. Unfortunately, one time per week does not build the muscle and flexibility needed. It's winter and I hate walking outside in the winter since the only time I can do it is at night when its dark and cold. I'd play Wii fit but that would require a Wii!!! (On my wish list with TIVO and Kindle and an internet phone!!!)

I could do Dance Dance Revolution. I have a PS2 and the mat and the game. BUT, I now have a digital converter box and I can't figure out what plugs in where to play the PS2, the VCR, the DVD. I can barely turn the TV on and if my kids leave the DVD player plugged in (or something along those lines--I'm not really sure what) then I can't watch TV!!! My husband says he needs to get something to make it all plug in at the same time.

So, tune in for the weekly Loser Challenge!!! It's going to be a long haul but at the end of it, I want to be a size 12/14 and not be on any medication!!!!!
