8/15/09 Biggest Loser Season 8

Yikes it's been way to long since I've updated this thing. Life is good quite honestly I am still focused on my quest to live a healthy lifestyle. I'm not focusing as much on the weight loss as I was earlier in the year which is why I haven't updated but working out and eating healthy is still extremely important to me.

Anyways onto bigger and better things at the moment like Season 8 of the Biggest Loser!

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be watching this I am already in love with the contestants and their stories. I cannot wait to learn more about them.

First challenge is the last mile of the biggest loser marathon. The prize is immunity and choosing their partner for the season. I am so excited to see Daniel from Season 7 and that he's back!

The opening challenge was a little scary with Tracy. Girl you finished the race you totally rocked that race. She was medivacced out. :( She finished the race though which is what her goal was I am so proud of her for that.

I had a longer post but it didn't save :(

Anyway Alexandra got voted off.

Man it feels soooooooooo good to be back and to be focused. I did not realize how much I missed working out how much a part of it had become until I stopped. For the two months where I slacked off on working out I felt like I was missing something now I remember what it was. The rest of this weight is going to come off whether it likes it or not!


I am on day 6 today of no diet cokes I think I am at the I will survive point.
