In honor of last night's Biggest Loser episode I decided to recreate my own "Biggest Loser Challenge". In the show's challenge, two teammates were striving to bike (stationary) a combined total of 26.2 miles... the distance of a marathon. The team that made the finish line first got immunity.
Tonight although I had no one to race against. I pushed myself to at least make the 13.1 miles that would have been expected of one of the teammates. I spent 70 minutes, 60 of full out riding and 10 minutes of cool down, riding to reach the mark. I rode a total distance of 14.14 miles in that time. I was a little disappointed over the amount of calories burned, but this exercise was for fun... in honor of a very inspiring show.
When I got home I made myself a snack. I sat down, took one bite... and then it hit me... I just worked my tail off and I am not about to ruin it with this snack. I want this snack SO MUCH LESS than I want to be fit. I immediately proceeded to the trash and grabbed some Crystal Light instead. Each time I am tempted I try to remember how important this is to me, not only to do this for my own health... but to prepare myself to be a beautiful bride.
