Thursdays are my weigh-in days and while I get excited to see my current weight I am always a little anxious, fearing that I may not have lost any weight this week. While that's true, I also believe that faith and perseverance can overcome fear.

I am looking forward to watching The Biggest Loser tonight. It is an inspiration to watch people work hard and lose a significant amount of weight and in doing so improve their health and ultimately their life. I think the episode that inspired me the most was when the doctor came to the house to give each of the individuals their health status as it relates to things like blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. Most of their health had increased so much that they no longer needed medication for high blood pressure or cholesterol. I've been on high blood pressure medicine and medication for high triglyceride levels since I was 26 years old. One of my goals is to be able to live the rest of my life without maintenance drugs.

Well, I'm getting ready to head home from work to eat dinner and watch The Biggest Loser. Hoping for a good weigh-in tomorrow.
