			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ABBY!!!  I got so many comments about the episode this week and how moved they were by Abby and her story.  She is such a special person and when she got to the moment where she basically threw herself on the sword for her team, it just brought a tear to my eye. <span id="more-641"></span> I think that Abby&#8217;s story is very important because we can all learn something from it and I have always talked about “triumph of the spirit” and she is the definition of that phrase.  Life, or rather death, slapped her in the face and she was looking for a way to be happy and love again, and while she was staying at the ranch with Jillian and I, she was able to find it again.  Abby is a true example of picking yourself up and getting back into the game of life under the absolute worst conditions.  I know that Abby has changed and when I saw her “where are they now” segment and saw her speaking to that group, she had such a confidence in her face and hope in her eye.  I love that woman so much and feel grateful that she shared her story with all of us.  On a side note, there was one interview bite where she called Tracy crazy and I thought it was hilarious.  Just her delivery on that just cracked me up.  I also thought it was so cool that Derek Jeter was a part of our show and the challenge was kind of fun.  Season 8 has been a great group of people and them being so honest and open has hopefully inspired you to make a change in your life.  Start living a healthy lifestyle today!!!  It is never too late!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OMG!!!  I have gotten to where I just hate black versus blue because Jillian and I work so well together now and I don&#8217;t think that it should ever be about a competition between us.  It should be about getting all of these people as healthy and happy as we can during their stay with us. <span id="more-639"></span> It was so painful to see how upset everyone was getting during this transition and as a viewer all I could say was, how is this getting them closer to there ultimate goals?  When I saw how upset Liz was it killed me, and Danny being so upset… it was painful.  And don&#8217;t even get me started on that little cherub Amanda.  I was so sad to see her that upset.  All I could say to her at that moment was that Jillian would take good care of you, which she did.  I just feel like we are so past that since our show is more than a reality show, it is honestly changing people’s lives and that is what I like to focus on.  I always talk to people about finding their purpose and my purpose is to try and awaken that spark of hope that is in all of us, no matter how dark the journey might be at any given time.  Anyway, enough about that.   </p>
<p>That challenge looked SO HARD, don&#8217;t you think?  I felt sorry for the black team watching it because they couldn&#8217;t compete with those big guys, but they ended up winning the weigh in which was AMAZING!!!  One other thing about Tracy picking the teams… let&#8217;s not forget that everyone except Abby wanted that power and for whatever reason Tracy got it, so she shouldn&#8217;t be vilified because whoever would have gotten it, the other players would still be upset.  It was sad to see Coach Mo leave but I was so happy that he went back home and “paid it forward”.  That is what it is all about.  Help someone today after you read this blog that could be struggling on their journey or has yet to start.  You will not only be helping them but you will be helping yourself stay focused.  If we all join together, can you imagine how many people we could help.  I encourage you to get as many people as you can to follow me on Twitter @mytrainerbob as I continue to send out words of encouragement and also try to make you laugh sometimes too.  LET&#8217;S CHANGE THE WORLD!!!! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay MyTrainerBob, it has been WAY TOO LONG!!!  I&#8217;m so sorry but I have been crazy busy with the show and traveling for work that I haven&#8217;t had a moment but let me fill you in on what&#8217;s going on…..</p>
<p>GET READY because in the next episode you are gonna see me break down. <span id="more-591"></span> It was a really tough situation that we all got put in for the show and without giving away too much…..everything changes and I do not take it well at all.  I will talk more about it after we air the upcoming episode.  It has been a very emotional journey this season but tomorrow is our last day of shooting and I gotta tell you, I&#8217;m ready to wrap this season.  We have been shooting for almost 5 months and it has been emotional and exhausting and I&#8217;m ready for my vacation.  I&#8217;m going to Paris, France, one of my favorite places in the world and I&#8217;m going to go to museums, eat at great restaurants, and do a bike tour of Paris…&#8230;basically I&#8217;m gonna do everything I can and mainly RELAX!!</p>
<p>I had a fun night the other night, I went to a party that was honoring Gwyneth Paltrow and Courtney Cox.  It was a beautiful party and you will never believe who came out and performed…&#8230; Beyonce!!!  I was dying!  I&#8217;m in love with her and she was fantastic.  It was so much fun.  Then on Wednesday night I had to shoot a spot for “The Soup” with Joel McHale.  I got an award for the Best Smackdown.  When it was time for me to get up and accept my award, the producers wanted me to start yelling at Joel so in rehearsals I was kind of reserved and they kept saying to me, “let him have it like you did Joelle”.  Well when you see it, which is going to be on Friday Night, tonight on “E” at 10pm…&#8230;..I definitely let him have it.  It was hilarious!!!!  I love Joel.  He is so funny and so tall.  He made me look short on camera and I&#8217;m 6 feet tall!!!!  Anyway, it was a lot of fun so let me know what you thought.</p>
<p>I want to start doing video blogs next week because it will be kind of fun to be able to talk to you guys, because I want to know mainly how your new year&#8217;s resolutions are holding up.  Please don&#8217;t tell me that you have fallen off the wagon but if you have, that&#8217;s OK because you can absolutely get yourself back on track.  Remember you committed to making a LIFESTYLE change and you have your whole life to keep yourself motivated and I&#8217;m gonna be here for you every step of the way.  I&#8217;m so glad that we have mytrainerbob.com to support eachother and help eachother.  We are a community of people that want to not only make a change for ourselves but for eachother.  That is what it is all about, helping yourself and paying it forward.  Let us all recommit to making a change and most of all a difference.  We are living in changing times and there is struggle but there is also HOPE.  We can do anything that we put our minds to…&#8230;let us join our forces and make a positive difference!!!!!</p>
