But Jim and I watched the Biggest Loser last night and there is a woman who lost her husband and both of her kids, one of them was 2 or 3 weeks old. I sat there and thought this woman Abby, has incredible strength, even though she gain weight she still got out of bed every morning and didn't give up on life. I thought what would I do if today Jim and Bailee were taken from me? Would I be able to get up or just curl up and do nothing. And then I realized I am doing nothing! I haven't suffered the lose of my whole family, so why am I still doing nothing. A couple of months ago I watched a info-mercial on the FIRM Wave. I borrowed the exercise videos my neighbor had that were the FIRM exercise program and really enjoyed them, however doing an hour of cardio I didn't like. I did see results. The Wave is different more like step aerobics. So I saved up for it and I ordered it! Which for me to buy something for myself is very rare. It came in last week. I went over the workout calendar and decided that starting Sunday would be the best day to start. And I did! I used to be a 4 or 5 in the morning person as long as I was going to work not working out. But I am happy to report that I have been sticking with the workout calendar. I have enjoyed getting up early, after I workout I get my pink cup of ice water and watch the sun come up. Side note: If you haven't watched the sun come up lately it is a beautiful thing!
So if you walk by my house at 5 in the morning on S,M,W,TH,F you will see the fat girl not doing nothing.

Abby's story stood out of course...but the thing that stood out to me last night was the 29-year-old guy named Sean (I think)...red team. He didn't know he had Type 2 Diabetes, and he broke down crying...saying..."I can't believe I've been so selfish...to think I HAD to eat those cheeseburgers..."
Typing it out and reading it isn't the same as seeing his sincerity. I hope you know the part I'm talking about! ;o) Anyway, it has just stuck in my head. You know how I joke about going to McDonald's...but hearing him say that made me realize I've been very selfish.
I would love to hear how you are doing with the FIRM. I saw huge results back when I did a video version about six years ago... but then my knee started to hurt from all the up and downs on the step.
I think you are awesome for getting up so early. What time do you have to go to bed to get up so early?? Or do you take a nap?
Thanks Bethany! I haven't seen the scale budge but I did take measurements when I started and I checked yesterday and it looks like I lost an inch in my waist, hips and bust. I really enjoy the wave firm it is more like step aerobics. Except for last night I usually go to bed around 10 or 11. Honestly I try to be in bed by 10 but I can't sleep. And I have felt well rested, and no I don't take naps except on Sundays.
