Today was a challenging day. I woke up late, hungry and I forgot to bring another box of cereal so breakfast was light, which set the tone for the day. By 6 p.m., during my workout, I felt famished and was definitely ready for dinner. I became grouchy and gave up on some of the weight lifting toward the end out of frustration. Once dinner was ready, it took a lot of restraint to not shovel in my food and overeat. I managed to stay within my points today even with my splurge of one glass of champagne.
After dinner we watched last night’s episode of The Biggest Loser. I started watching The Biggest Loser this season and I was sucked in from the first five minutes. One contestant this season has lost over 100 pounds but started out at almost 500 pounds. Every week I am amazed with how much weight they lose and continue to push themselves to be healthy and live better lives.
While watching this week’s show I realized I don’t push myself like these guys do. I barely break a sweat in the gym and I definitely don’t sweat in my pilates class. Granted, I don’t need to lose 100+ pounds, just 15, but I do need to push myself harder in the gym. Do I need a Jillian Micheals trainer to yell and scream at me “LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!!!!” in order to really get moving on the elliptical and lift that extra 10 pounds? Maybe.

Maybe you need a trainer! You don't like it when I try "encourage" you to push harder! :p
Yes, a trainer would be great, or a higher-impact class.
It's not that I don't like it when you "encourage" me, Nico. I just sometimes hate working out so I don't want to push myself.
Christy, I am thinking about signing up for a class at work, in addition to Pilates (gotta work off that beer gut!).
