I watched part of "The Biggest Loser" last night on the tv and became actually interested in the show. When snagging the picture for my post, I read the following claim on the show's website:
"Most popular reality television show for weight loss."
I can't imagine there being too much competition so I was forced to chuckle.
In related news, it's been about a month and a half since I started working out at the gym. I have yet to miss a day due to laziness, but I have been forced to miss a few days here and there because of church weekend activities. I joined the gym because I felt like a lazy bum and was 25 lbs. heavier than I was after my freshman year of college and because my pants barely fit me anymore.
Today, on the 11th of February 2009, after many days of waking up at 5:45 a.m., after avoiding all pop/soda, after resisting most deserts, I report that I have officially gained 1.6 lbs. However, because muscle weighs more than fat, I have slimmed down quite considerably as can be seen in this photograph I took of myself this morning:
In all fairness, I usually look my best immediately following my trip to the gym so this picture might be a bit deceiving as to my typical appearance.
Regardless of my lack of weight loss, I have had a lot more energy during the day, am much more motivated to go to bed early, and I don't have to take a big breath before buttoning my pants. Therefore, my spirits are high and my smile is wide and I will continue pressing on to be a big loser, but in a good way.
