Weight

My favourite (can't miss an episode) show right now is The Biggest Loser.  I've never ever watched a season of the show and even at the beginning I didn't watch every single episode.  The Westren family though, drew me in, particularly Lara.

If you watch the show you will know that Lara was eliminated in Sunday night's episode.  It kind of broke my heart.

Right now I'm the heaviest I've ever been, and that's probably fairly harsh seeing as I'm 29 weeks pregnant.  But truth be told, before this pregnancy I was also the heaviest I've been.  I wanted to document how much of an inspiration Lara has been so that after the baby is born I can set about looking after myself and getting back to a happy healthy weight.

I totally admired Lara's commitment.  She set out to achieve a goal and gave her absolute all, all of the time to get there.  There were no complaints and no excuses.  I also loved to see how her relationship with Leigh blossomed over competitiveness.  I'd have to say a big part of the Westren success has also come from their trainer Shannon.  He's been there for them 100% of the time, getting into their heads when it's needed and maintaining motivation with goals and varied exercises.  All attributes I know I'll have to find in the exercising options I choose for myself.

And on food.  Everyone in the house noticed how horrible their bodies felt after going back to bad foods they had been absent from for a period of time.  I've noticed that lately too.  And I'd like to remember that feeling. Fueling your body with comfort foods because you think it will make you feel good, doesn't make you feel that way at all.
