I wanted to start by saying that I really have a new respect for the contestants on the Biggest Loser. I have been a huge fan of the show for years and not until recently did I realize how truly hard those contestants work and how truly dedicated they are.
After I returned last night from an hour workout at crossfit I truly felt like I was going to die and that was just one hour. As I am sitting here this morning my arms and legs feel like jello and if there was a bed in my office I could fall asleep just sitting here. My point to all this is that I only workout for an hour and I feel like this and the contestants on that show workout for about 6 hours a day 7 days a week. I do not know how they do it. As I watched their workout last night and then watched them step on the scale to reveal their weight loss to the nation part of me was jealous of all the hard work that they had done and the other part was amazed that they were able to walk. I guess before I would watch the show from the comfort of my couch, usually eating some type of dessert judging their workout and then commenting on the amount of weight they lost or did not lose. I assume that the show in the beginning made me feel better that I was not as big as those contestants and I guess in my mind I felt I was in better shape. But the truth is I am not. I could never do the workouts that they do. So as corny as it sounds my inspiration for today came from the biggest loser. That if those contestants can stand in front of the nation and admit that they need a change and then do that change on television then I need to suck it up stop complaining and do something about it.
