Thoughts on Food, Biggest Loser, Workouts

I am amazed at the participants in the Biggest Loser. They really are inspirational, to lose that much weight publicly. I would love to get the personal training that they get, but (fortunately) I will never be that big--even at my largest during pregnancy, I was considered one of their lighter weights. It makes me think if they can do it why can't I??

Some reasons:
-I love to eat. I need to watch it carefully and then the pounds melt away, but this is difficult when your Nana gives you a delicious box of Hughes chocolates and a bag of pistachios and you eat almost all of them in a two day span.

-Personal training is expensive. I don't like to spend a lot of money on working out because...well I already do with all my gadgets and what not. I am not a fan of the gym, I'd rather be in a group workout setting (now difficult with baby, except for my moms' classes) or preferably, outside workouts. This kinda puts the kabosh on the weight thing.

-Really, I like to be skinny but where I'm at right now is a healthy weight so that is somewhat demotivational. Couple that with the fact that I am not going to probably be wearing a bikini again due to cat scratch fever (aka stretch marks). A bikini was always so motivational for me. Now what?

So that being said...the past few days:

Friday--nothing
Saturday 2.5 mi walk, core workout
Sunday--3 mi run
Monday--nothing, unless you count decorating
Tuesday--indoor class with lots of squats, lunges, upper body weights with high reps

December goals (more realistic than November goals):

Run 2-3x week
Core 3x week
Continue pushups

  1. Ahhh I'm scared of stretch marks. I am lotioning up well every day, although I really don't think that has anything to do with it...I think it's in your genes if you're gonna get them or not.
