It is that time….Biggest Loser time……let me tell you (if I haven’t already) that I L-O-V-E that show. From start to finish I am a bawling idiot committing to a week of good eating, regular exercise, and…..well, that commitment seems to turn off just as quick as the television does when the show is over. During those two hours though….I’m completely committed.

Yeah, yeah I know…they work out an insane amount of hours, it isn’t realistic weight loss, etc but they truly are inspirations and I like it!

I love watching the transformation week over week and LOVE the tips that the trainers give right before a commercial. I remember last season, they would say something a tip and I’d say “Hey Mary Ann just told me that last week!” so knew I was on the right track.

Two years ago, I’d get ready for the show by popping popcorn, dishing out icecream or pouring pop….I know it’s pathetic but hey what am I gonna do? It’s different now and has been for the last few seasons, I use it as my two hours to reset, refocus and renew my commitment.

If you don’t watch Biggest Loser, you need to start because I’ll talk about it every week and of course you don’t want to stop reading my blog so you’ll have to watch it to keep up on what I’m talking about.

Okay…I know, I’m guilty. The last blog I wrote was that I would never go that long without blogging again. I guess technically I didn’t lie because I actually went longer but still feel bad because I know that there are people checking daily to see if I have blogged.

A lot has changed in my world since the last time I blogged and all these changes are in part why I haven’t blogged. See…..well……I’ll just put it out there…..I’m pregnant, three months to be exact.

So I guess the next question is, where do I go from here. Well, with my first two pregnancies, I actually lost weight with both of them and it looks like this one will be the same. I’m ill and the thought of most food sends me running to the bathroom so although a hard way to lose it, so far I’m holding my own. I’m still going to the gym just not as frequently. I still do Turbo Kick on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will be doing Saturday morning strength classes once the summer activities wind down and I stop having so much planned on my weekends. Working out isn’t bad, I have to keep it low impact because I get so nauseous with all the leg lifting, etc. By the end of it, I can’t do a knee left because I’m sure the poor person in front of me didn’t go to the gym planning to be full of vomit so I just march in place or punch. I look out of place but at least I’m moving.

I’ve already committed in my mind that I will not give up the gym. I don’t care if I waddle in there eight months pregnant and sit and watch everyone work out, I refuse to give up the habit of going to the gym. It took me this long to find a place where I fit in and love going, it would take the doctors telling me not to work out to stop. For now, my doctor thinks it’s great that I’m going so we’ll go with that!

So there you have it, rightly or wrongly that is my reason that I haven’t blogged. I felt if I blogged without telling you, that I was lying and lying is one trait I am proud to say that I am not good at.

So I’m sure my blog will be a bit different but in the end my goals are still the same, we’re just on a nine month delay
