Destiny

Hey everyone….. I hope you had a good day.  Well I just got back from Detroit MI working, which was great but I gotta tell you that the car industry is really hurting right now there and you can feel it in the air.  This economy has got to turn around and we really do have to trust the process and trust our leaders right now.  It brings me to a very good point that I always talk to my contestant’s about on the show, I have a sign in the the gym that says, “Believe in yourself, trust the process, change forever.”  This is a time that we must trust the process.  This holds true with people that want to change their lives for whatever reason, in my industry it is all about health.  So when you decide to make a change and you have 20lbs or 200lbs to lose, what you must do is trust that what you do today will really make a difference in the big picture.  All you can do is think about the day at hand.  Did you make the proper food choices?  Did you make time to exercise?  Are you taking responsibility for your actions?  Are you in control of your life?  Your destiny?  Just put your mind and your efforts into this day and trust the process, knowing that what you are doing WILL make a difference.  I watched The Oprah Show today, LOVE HER!!!!!  Anyway, she was talking about people that were morbidly obese and I’m not talking about my friends on the show, I’m talking 800lbs and more.  It was gut wrenching to see their struggles and they also showed a rehab center for the morbidly obese, which makes so much sense because I have always said that overeating is an addiction to food.  It was so hard to see people that have lost all hope and that have let go, for whatever reason, but having a rehab center for people that need that support was very uplifting.  It was a powerful show.  I hope you got to see it.

Now onto some personal news.  I have been dealing with a foot injury….UGH!!!  I have what is called a Morton’s Neuroma in my left foot and it has been so painful during all of season 7.  I thought it would go away but it didn’t so now I have been fitted for orthotics and today I was able to run 6 miles.  I was so happy not to have that pain today.  We will see if they continue to work.

I’m excited that the eliminated contestants are coming back this weekend for a boot camp before the finale which is May 12th.  It is going to be so much fun to see everyone and work them out again.  We have never done this before so I know they are excited and so am I.  Okay, I hope you all have a good and healthy dinner tonight and I will speak to you very soon.  xoxox
