Biggest Loser

I don't know how many of you guys watch or even care to watch the show biggest loser, but for me it is very inspiring and a big part of my week!  I love to come home from work on Monday nights because I know that my gym time will be spent trying to keep up with the contestants on the biggest loser.  To me it's very motivating watching someone get yelled at because I get to just watch and not feel the pain they are going through.... may be cruel but I would definitely cry if Jillian was yelling at me to work harder. 

That being said I was really interested to see what kind of "diet" they give those people and how they explain to them how to eat right and change their lifestyle to not include junk food.  So I went on Amazon(my FAVORITE cite!) and found some of their cook books and I ordered one, when I got it I was super excited cause in the front of the book it explained the way the contestants are taught to eat and how they are supposed to eat.  I really want to learn the basics of nourishing my body as I have explained in previous posts.(here) I have since made a few of the recipes and most of them have been really good, there are a few I would change some things to make them my own but other then that they give you a good base to go by in order to see what the things you should intake are.

 

The biggest thing for me in this whole process is I just want to be healthy and I'm not as concerned about the weight I lose, yes it's important I lose weight but I'm trying not to make that my focus or else I just get disappointed when I step on the scale and it doesn't read for all the hard work I have put in. 

Last night's gym session went very well! I'm starting to get to the point where I don't really look at how long I've been on the machines I try to focus on my workout or whatever show I'm watching and that makes me workout way longer.  One thing I have to do for myself is to change things up.... even if it means trying a new machine or doing things in a different order, I get really bored with thinking about going to the gym and doing the same thing, so throughout the day I try to think about how I will do things different that night in order to keep me from backing out, for fear I will not enjoy it.  It doesn't take much for me to get uninterested, gotta keep my brain thinking and wondering most of the time so I can stay focused on the big picture!
