2 Miles: Survivor

We survived the move and started finding a place for our things as best we can. Renovations will probably take another month and dust will be flying until then. Therefore there is no sense is rolling anything out till all construction is done.

Even though I found my body with every muscle aching and hurting, I drag myself out for a two mile jog around the neighborhood. I notice how many of the houses have American Flags flying from their mailboxes and find myself wondering if there will be some sort of memorial day parade taking place. I also wondered how come I didn't get the flag memo, or did those jerks who we purchase the home from took a flag that was suppose to be left behind. If that's the case, that's just unpatriotic and they should be ... well I'm not one for ill fated wishes.

The bottom line is that we survive the move and nothing was found broken, except for a few muscle fibers that will recovered. I enjoyed this afternoon jog as it stretched the sore muscles and got me back in track to survive another day. Will see how the survivor finale wraps up. I have to believe that JT will take this season.

Biggest Loser: Bill and Jim Take It

What have you done today to make yourself feel proud? This is the question the Biggest Looser Theme song asks of every viewer.

I have been watching the show since the first season and each and every single time I am amazed how well this now athletes perform. I'm not one for reality TV, but this show is more than real to me. I have struggle with the teetering of the scale my entire life.

This show is truly inspiring and should become the number one watched show in America as we, as a nation, are suffering the highest rate of obesity in the world.

This season I been rooting for Bill and Jim since day one. I thought they had the most integrity and of course, as twins, had each other to push each other to loose the most weight.

The proof is on today's finale where Bill took the prize money of 250 thousand dollars and Jim taking home the 100 thousand dollar at home prize.

This season most were rooting for a girl to win and it appeared to be heading that way until the bitter end where Bill took Julie out by a close 5% of body weight.

Here are their numbers:
Bill - 49.1%
Julie - 44.5%
Hollie - 41.18%
Isabeau - 37.92%

The bottom line is that if you set your mind to anything, you can accomplish it. Whether is loosing weight, changing careers, or becoming a millionaire, we all have the power to do it. With a little dedication and motivation we can achieve all of our goals and dreams.
