Day 4, Week 2

We watched the 2 hour season premiere of "The Biggest Loser."  We are so excited that Jillian Michaels is back this season.  Although, when we watched it...we were a little devastated for her contestants.  It seems that she is meaner and more aggressive than ever.  I felt the emotional pain the contestants felt as she degraded them and made they feel as though they were not worthy of her.  This is how we all feel at one time or another in life.  Some of these obese people may have gotten overweight due to being treated in this manner...it made me frustrated and upset.  But, I do agree that sometimes extreme measures need to be taken in order to get people in the right frame of mind to work out and do what they have to to feel better about their lives and themselves.  Tough love is a technique that many parents use to show pre-adult students how to be more responsible.

I love the way Jillian trains;  I would do well with her yelling in my face every five minutes.  I work best this way.  My husband trains me in a similar manner.  He supports me yet pushes me to not give up.  He is an excellent trainer!  He has gotten results from people that were very skeptical an frustrated. I recall in 2009, I was in a contest at the fitness center where I worked...I asked Jay to train me for 2.5 months...I ended up losing 20 lbs and winning he contest...$150.  I felt very satisfied that I could do many things with the proper motivation.  What motivates you?  Jay and I watch shows like "The Biggest Loser," to help us with how to properly work with individuals.  We learn new techniques and get introduced to the latest equipment out there...okay, so my favorite thing that I have seen so far on the show...the EcoMill Treadmill...this puppy cost $8500.  It is ergonomically correct and I can imagine it is awesome to run on!  Of course, I would not spend that kind of money on some material possession.  But, WOW!  It looked awesome!!!!

Find someone to encourage you and support you!  Working out is not as fun doing it alone.  Make sure that this person has your best interest in mind!  If you need someone to work with...our church is starting to train people at Accolades Gym on Garden of the God Road.  You can contact my husband anytime and set up a time to meet with him after work!  Just comment to this blog and I will get you in touch with him!
Have a beautiful day!!!  Del
