Fitness Update

Surprisingly, I haven't given up the workouts just yet! It seems I found my niche in doing workout videos from home. Although I like Denise Austin, her bootcamp video was becoming a little stale after doing several times a week, so I went out and purchased some new videos last night.

If you go the fitness section in Wal-Mart, they have a gazillion videos to choose from and it's quite overwhelming at first...and then I realized that all the Biggest Loser DVD's are separated from the other workout videos and it took even longer for me to choose!

I finally settled on a DVD with the Biggest Loser trainer Bob (who I'm in love with even after he worked my butt off last night) and the Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout with Jillian (who I am a little afraid of but also love). My first night working out with Bob was intense and challenging but so rewarding and I'll tell you, I'm not really sure how those people on the show workout like that weighing 300-500 lbs all day every day! I'm sorta in shape and I struggled and it was only a 30 minute workout! Kudos to those who are on the show! Dang!

Speaking of Biggest Loser, I hate the sore losers on that show! I feel it is more about losing weight and encouraging others to lose weight and not so much about winning the money! There are some seriously inspiring people on that show. People who struggle with knee problems and back problems. People who have life threatening diseases and are pushing through all that to lose weight just to stay alive. And then there are people like Melissa from this season! Yuck! I don't know how else to say it and if I had to be in that house with her, she would get hit! She lost 0, that's right 0 pounds the first 2 weeks and she has the nerve to tell other people they aren't working to their full potential when they are losing 10-20 lbs per week! She's just plain mean and I can't stand her! Blah!

Hopefully I'll keep up the routine of working out 3-4 days a week and hopefully I'll make it through Jillian's DVD!
