The Biggest Loser

I have to confess, I am a huge fan of this show. I have never missed one episode, not one! Every season when it comes on I always say, I'm going to do it with them and see how much I can lose. Then by the end of the season I fizzle out and it ends in harsh disappointment in myself. Last week was the new season opener and I of course wanted to say the same ole thing, but I stopped myself. I really am doing it this time around, losing weight that is but I don't want to set myself up for any disappointment like before. I'm setting realistic expectations in myself.
Which leads me to the scale. Weigh in time. I am proud to say I am down a total of 5 pounds since starting. It's not much but hey, a loss is a loss. I'm no Biggest Loser, but who has time to exercise 8 hours a day? Who wants to? I would if I had a chance to win the money they are offering them. But I live in reality, and reality says I have 3 kids, a husband and a job. I'm learning to schedule things in to my busy life. I have set a time every day to exercise. I feel like if I make it a set time, then I will just know it has to be done and do it. It's all a mind set. If I tell my mind exercise if good, I'm hoping some day my mind will not fight so much with me on it. Hey, miracles have happened before you know. Until then, I'm just not giving myself any choices. At 2 o'clock every day it's exercise time. Just like I work at a certain time every day and I have no choice in that matter, its the same for my exercise. It's just got to be done.
I look forward to the pay off though. Feeling good, more energy and less flab. You know, it's not the extra pounds that has bothered me so much lately as it is the flabby fat jiggling. So, if you're not happy with something, then change it. Don't wait till summer when you go to put on those shorts and realize you have to do something about it. I'm starting now so I will be happy with what I see this summer.
I am not happy with the way I look now so until I win the Lottery so I can have plastic surgery, exercise is how I'm changing it. So, off I go to iron out that flab and by summer I look forward to the "fab"..haha! I hope to reap the payoff!
