Biggest Loser 13 Challenge - Getting Closer to Finale and Running My Own Race


We're just a little over a week to the Biggest Loser Season 13 Finale.  And while I can't wait to finally see the finale so we can get this season from H-E-Double Hockey Sticks over with, I'm kind of sad that my challenge will be ending.

You see, I enjoy setting these goals for myself.  I don't always reach the exact number that I set at the beginning of a challenge, but I always make progress.  If I didn't set goals at all, I'd either stay stuck or take a step backwards.  Knowing that I challenged myself - and put it out there for the world to see, join in, encourage, judge or whatever they decide to do with it - I try harder.  I put in more effort.  Sometimes I hit the goal, sometimes I just come close.  Either way, I'm still a winner.

So today's weigh-in is another step closer to my goal, with a loss of 1.2 pounds.  Life is a marathon, not a sprint...and sometimes during the road race of life we have to climb steep hills or dodge falling rocks.  Staying in the race is the most important thing - sitting on the sidelines watching other people run is not an option.

You can bet after next week's finale I will set another goal for myself, whether it is connected to Biggest Loser or not.  There is no BL during the summer, and rumor has it that there will be no fall season coming up.  ("Rumour has it she's the one..."  NOW I have Adele playing in my head!)  No matter what is going on the the wild world of reality shows, we can all still reach our own personal goals. 

Please join me here as we all work on becoming the best we can be...any season, any time of year.  ALL THE TIME!

I'm with you, Marie! The time is going to pass whether we do anything or not, so any progress in the direction of the goal is positive! I have a goal to reach by my birthday (June 7). Then I will set the next one. It is motivating to me to hear about your goals and your progress. Thanks for sharing!

Regarding BL...I have been seriously disappointed with the attitudes of many of the contestants this season. They were given a gift, and many of them act like they are entitled to that and more! I miss the spirit of wanting everyone to succeed and wishing the best for all!! For the first time ever, I wasn't chomping at the bit for Tuesday nights!!
