I love watching NBC's Biggest Loser show. I think I like it because I see myself in those people. I took some notes on some of the episodes from the current season. When I watch these folks, I see myself even though most of them are much bigger than me. I get motivated to change my life when I see this show!! I especially was moved watching Tara from Season 7.
Today I took inventory of my body:
I am 5 foot 8 inches, I weight 271 pounds and I am currently a size 20.
My small victory is that in the last 260 days I have only gained 5 pounds! I thought my weight was going to be much higher.
So good job Jen!! Let's now set a goal of 240 by my birthday (May 6th) and get there!
I am keeping track of how much water I'm drinking each day.
I'm writing down what I eat and how many calories it is.
I'm also keeping track of how foods make me feel after - to find the right combo of foods that my body loves.
I got a good first workout in last night doing some Wii, weights, stretching, & abs.
Today I woke up and got in 20 minutes of Wii and a 30 minute hike/walk at lunch today. Additionally there are 40 stairs from my car to the 2nd floor of my office, I took all of them today many times! Whenever I had to go downstairs I took the stairs back up and counted 31.
The next step is to put the mirror up.
Nelson has offered to film me working out and that way I will see what I look like moving around and being active. It's a hard thing to face but I think I'm ready.
I am a beautiful and healthy athletic girl that is ready to win this.
