The Biggest Loser Finale Finally!

I stayed up to watch the entire Biggest Loser finale last night. I was so excited to see it come down to Olivia and Hannah, because not matter who won, they both won. Those girls look great! They are SKINNY! They haven't only lost a ton of weight, they are absolutely small. I feel so motivated after seeing them work their butts off for months. I want to work harder, eat better, and look as great as they do.

I jogged today for distance instead of speed. I went 1.4 miles instead of a mile. I sprinted for 30 seconds and was able to breathe normally the whole time. Hooray! I controlled my breathing throughout the route, and I felt myself get into a steady cadence. I usually notice when I get into a good rhythm. It's at that point I feel like I could keep going and going like the little pink bunny with the drum.

I have developed some kind of cold/sinus illness. My ears, face, throat, and head hurts. I jogged through it this morning and managed to feel normal the whole time. As soon as I stopped, though, the grogginess came creeping back in. I'm taking some cold medicine, so that should help a little. I don't like to be sick :( I don't get colds very often, so hopefully my exercise will help it go by more quickly.

I've enjoyed spending time with my Texan aunt Bootsy. It's amazing how much she looks like my momma. I noticed similarities in their mannerisms that I haven't noticed before. I like to watch them interact. It's like they're looking in a mirror. When I see them (and other sisters) together I feel like I am on the outside of one of those exclusive worlds that I will never be a part of. There's something about a sister relationship that is so connected. I have a brother, and I have sisters in law, but I miss having that one person who you can just hang out with and share secrets. But that's just my view on the outside looking in. I'm sure that sister relationships have difficulties--like who gets to use the bathroom to get ready, who gets the nicer clothes, who's more popular, skinny, athletic, smart...

Either way, I'm thankful for my family. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Or, maybe I'd trade anything to have infinite time with them and others here that I love and cherish.
