Getting Healthy

Every Tuesday night from 8 until 10 I have been obsessed with watching The Biggest Loser! It started in January and the finale was tonight! I have never watched a single episode of the show before this season, but I have a feeling this one was the best. This season they had couples (some husband/wives, some mother/daughters, best friends, an engaged couple, and cousins) and along with that they also had the youngest contestant, the oldest, the heaviest female and male in the shows history! These people were in the worst shape of their lives and they were able to turn it all around and not only that, they all actually became really great friends who supported one another. It was so inspiring to watch these people of all ages get motivated to lose weight and restart their lives.
I have also been somewhat obsessed with reading the book Skinny Bitch (I know it sounds a little crude) and honestly, the women who wrote the book are extremely straight forward about their approach to weight loss. I have always wanted to eat healthier, but it was not until reading this book that I actually lost my appetite for some of the foods I have always loved to eat! I never never never want to drink another diet coke again and I have started to really love having a cup of coffee to get me going...not anymore! If you are having trouble breaking those nasty junk food habits...READ THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY! I'm not kidding, it has really changed my thinking!
I really want to get healthy and start exercising more! Due to the stress of school and traveling so much, I have really started to feel horrible! Why feel bad if all you have to do is eat healthy and exercise a little each day to feel fabulous?!? I'm turning over a new leaf!
