Day after day, week after week we walk or run on our treadmill. We all get bored from time to time. After watching The Biggest Loser this week I have been inspired to do more hiking. There challenge was from sun up to sun down - talk about a long day.
Most of us do the same Workout routine everyday. I’ll admit I do get in a rut sometimes, but in general I continually try to challenge my body to do more. When I first started Walking on the treadmill I thought it was pure torture to stay on it more than 30 minutes no matter what distance I got in. And if I even tried to jog I could only last for a minute or two. Now I can jog up to 4 miles and I change the speed and incline to challenge myself.

The Biggest Loser continues to grab our attention. This past week when Bob came back to the gym and couldn’t believe the anger in Jillian’s face. Jillian gave Bob a recap of how she lost her temper and threw Amy out of the gym. Bob agreed that the contestants were going to have to realize they aren’t at the ranch to just have fun. The contestants need to see this as a huge privilege to be on the show. I think they know it is going to be tough, but don’t really grasp it until they get to the ranch. Most things worth having are worth the hard work it takes to get there. It is a little frustrating to see people not appreciate the opportunity they have been given.
