Welcome to my million mile journey...
I have started this journey many times before and have been defeated before I could reach the end.
I applied for Biggest Loser, Season 15, and did not get chosen. I was disappointed. I had so many people nominate and help me that I was sure I was going to be chosen. I was not.
I had prepared my mind body and spirit to go far away from my family in one of the most important times of their lives to undergo a much needed health transformation for them. I want to live, a long and healthy life and being 120 pounds overweight does not help with that. I am still in the mindset, only I am here and the contestants are already filming.
So I made BIG decision. I was still going to be a part of Biggest Loser; only by myself at home
I hesitated at the notion that I would subjecting myself to this again. 17 years of trying and failing and trying and failing again. It has become so discouraging that 2 years ago, after my mom died, I stopped trying. I gained 15 pounds. The first time I have gained weight in 17 years! I have to change, so in one of my sleepless nights, I did lots of research. What does a day a day on the Biggest Loser Ranch look like?. How many calories do they eat? How many hours do they work out a day? and found lots of former contestants who described their experiences in detail. So starting today, I will be a Biggest Loser contestant (in my mind... LOL) lots of contestants go home after only a week and still lose lots of weight, so why couldn't I do the same?
It took 2 weeks, but I formulated a plan.
I made a daily schedule to work out 4-5 hours a day, split up into 3 workout sessions. I scoured the internet for 1200 calorie meal plans and made a month menu, so I could stay on point. I recruited my sons to be "Bob" and "Dolvett" for my "Last Chance Workout" on Sundays,
I will record my progress daily and will write and post my blog on Monday after my weigh in.
I am looking for some challenges to do also, so if you have any ideas, please leave a comment with your great insight.
Like always... Thanks for your support!
Teresa
