Well to start, I have finally gotten up the nerve to go to the school gym and pool.  I have worked out and swam everyday for the past 3 days.  I AM SOOOOO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!  I have been doing a circuit like they show you in the Biggest Loser Book and, eventhough I can't believe it, I have been actually doing the intermediate workout.  I am in quite a bit of pain and I've got a cold, but nothing can make me stop now.  I can do this, I know I can, and come hell or high water I will be there everyday!  I've been wanting to video my workouts for our site, but have not gotten to do it yet, but I will.  Now, the only part that I am not happy about is, I have not been able to get Adam to go with me.  The first night he went and when we got to the weight room he backed out.  I think all the people intimidated and maybe embarassed him.  I know it's hard walking in there, I practically cried the first time, but I tried to tell him their opinion of you has no effect on our life.  I have been trying so hard to talk him into coming or maybe talking about how he feels on here, but so far it's no go.  If anyone has any advice on how to reach him, please feel free to send them to me.  I am so proud of his progress and nothing can take away from his accomplishments, but I want so badly for him to stop feeling that way and just focus on getting himself healthy.  I don't know what else to do for him.  I feel like I am letting him down.  He motivates me everyday by telling me how proud of me he is and how fantastic he thinks I look.  Because of him, I am getting myself there everyday and I just want all my words of encouragement to do the smae thing for him, but I am obviously doing something wrong.  Please help me get to him.  He means everything to me and the kids.  I am doing what I am doing not only to be here for the kids but also to make sure I get to spend my old age with my husband and without him my plan doesn't work.  We really need this personal trainer to hopefully give him the extra motivation he apparently needs.  I am trying to get him to at least walk the track at the school while I am working out, but he is kind of complaing about the cold, which I really can't blame him totally for.  Well, I will continue working on him until he gets to a point where he can at least create some type of workout that will work for him whether it's walking the track, video workouts at home, or actually getting up the courage to just walk into that room and not care what anyone else thinks. 

 

Onto the show....What did everyone think?  I was absolutely shocked that they chose Paul and Kelly, but I was extatic that they won.  Nobody deserves to go home, but I wish Mark and Jay went because I know they can do it at home.  Mark only has 50 lbs. left to lose.  Besides, men always lose more than women and I think a team of two men is not fair.  Just my opinion about the game part of it, but like I said they deserve to be there to lose weight just like everyone else. 

 

I guess that's all for now.  Until next time....
