Living the Biggest Loser???

This picture was me 3 years ago, a couple of days after I finished my first century ride. I was so proud of myself. I want to feel that way again.

Living the Biggest Loser is about applying the knowledge I have accumulated over the past 25 years about diet and exercise to my life. I pledge to create my own Biggest Loser challenge and submit a progress video to the casting crew weekly. At the end of my 18 week challenge I will be the "Biggest Loser."

I will start my challenge this coming Monday, May 31, 2010. I will post daily. I will weigh weekly, on Sundays. I will post progress pictures and videos. I will share my secrets and what I learn along the way and step outside of my comfort zone. This will be my accountability and I will help others when I can.

I am doing this because I too, like so many others have struggled all my life with my weight.

When I was more active everyday was and adventure, now everyday I wake up is like ground hog day. I get up, I go to my studio, I hang out with family, which usually involves food and wine, I come home and watch about an hour of television and then I go to sleep. repeat, repeat, repeat...

I used to ride my bike. My bike was my best friend. I trained for and completed 3 century rides. I want my future to be adventurous. I'm only 41, I want to meet someone and fall in love and maybe get married. I have never allowed myself to do that because I always felt so unworthy.

I want to learn to love myself and look forward to being me and be filled with optimism and happiness.

I choose life! I choose to participate!

I am sick of waiting for it to start. I believe John Lennon said "Life is what happens while your making plans."
