Tuesday night is my inspiration night... New seasons of the Biggest Loser, both USA and UK, shown one after the other. The US version is so much better, purely because the trainers are so real. Bob and Jillian truly are experts in their fields and they've been doing this for 10 seasons now and they know exactly how to work it! I love Jillian Michaels. She is someone who would be able to get the best out of me. Anytime I'm flagging in the gym or on a run I imagine Jillian next to me, giving me hell!
The biggest reason for loving this programme is seeing real people change their lives in such a brutal yet honest way. These guys lose serious weight week after week by working hard and eating right. I am quite passionate about healthy eating and exercise and I learn so much by watching this programme. I started watching the US show 7 seasons ago and it has been an amazing teacher.
Plus anytime I feel my motivation lacking I watch an episode, see these hugely overweight people working out and killing themselves in the gym doing workouts that I would struggle with and I realise, once again, that it is possible. Anyone can do anything, it's just hard but then, anything worthwhile usually is hard.
This 13 race challenge is gonna be extremely difficult. I still have no idea how I am going to run a half marathon in 35 degree heat in Africa BUT if the final four on the American biggest loser can run a marathon after just 4 months on the show, usually with starting weights of 300, 400 and in a couple of cases 500 lbs then I know I can do it! It will not be easy but the end result, raising awareness and money for the Bantaba Project, will be more rewarding than I can imagine!
