Encouragement from Mom

So . . . , I didn't do two separate blogs today just to get two different points. But this second one, I thought of after I thought of the first one. I just want to say that based on the points from last week, it might be obvious who is most likely to win this "Biggest Loser" contest. However, I think that no matter if you get the highest score or not, you are a "Biggest Loser" (or actually winner) if when we finish this game, you are a healthier you. In other words, if you have gotten in the habit of drinking more water, or of walking more than you used to, or if you worked your way up from not even being able to do any push ups to doing 10, then later 20, or if you become more conscious of eating more healthy foods, or even if you lose some weight but not as much as you wanted to, then you have bettered yourself. Even on the television show The Biggest Loser, the people who participate but don't win the money, have certainly been winners in my book. When you look at pictures of those people before and after -- they became a better and more healthier person in the process of losing however much weight they lost. So don't get discouraged and think, "Well, I'll never win this, so why try." Let's all try to become better selves. I just want to become a better and more healthy Sister Blake. Love you all for the fun we're having together.
