In the first episode of season 9, 2 teams were sent home within hours of arriving at the ranch. Those 2 teams went home for 30 days to earn a place back on the ranch. A few weeks later, Hulu posted an update from those 2 teams. That update video (posted below) had the Bob & Jillian at home plan outlined.
Here is the summary of what the video says.
Cardio, cardio, cardio.
Don’t jump on a machine you don’t know how to use. You don’t want to get hurt
No more of 2 hours of exercise in one sitting
1 hour walk first thing in the morning, hills are even better
Variety–do cross training to avoid overuse injuries. Pool, bike, running, rowing, walking
“What do I do with my life now?” The house is clean. Our plan is working. What can I do after Messy Room Syndrome?
I took three days to just think about my future. I have wasted so much of my life already fighting this battle, I don’t want to waste another minute.
FOCUS
The key that brought me into this new situation was learning to focus on just one thing. I know I need to carry that habit forward. Flylady says, “Focus makes me fabulous.” Dave Ramsey calls it “gazelle intensity.” I just know it gets the job done.
Maybe instead of trying to do everything in balance all the time, I should focus my intensity on on project. If you look at a day or a week in my life, it may look out of balance, but over the course of a year or 5 years or a lifetime a pattern of balance will emerge from the periods of focused intensity. What’s more, the periods of focus will result in goals met and dreams accomplished.
What’s the next big thing?
The next thing that has been irritating me for a while is the extra 35 pounds of fat I am carrying around. This is Fitness Feburary in my house. I’m setting up my own at home Biggest Loser Ranch and working to lose this extra weight and built some muscle. Hopefully it won’t take me quite as long to declutter my body as it took to declutter my house.
New Year’s Day is always so fresh, so hopeful, so inspiring. It offers a new start with no mistakes in it yet. Seven days into the new year and I already ditched my long weekend run and the house is a mess.
The good news is that tomorrow can be just as new, just as fresh, just as inspiring, and just as blemish free as midnight New Year’s day when we watched all the fireworks go off, blew those funny little whistles, and yelled “Happy New Year!”
Tomorrow is a fresh start. Pull that funny whistle out if you need to and yell, “Happy New Day!”
P.S. In my defense, I was fighting a cold all weekend and we started remodeling our bedroom.
This year I have decided to keep it simple. I’m not making a bunch of resolutions that will inevitably result in failure by January 21. I actually only made 2 resolutions this year. I have a really LONG New Year’s to-do list, but I’ve decided to make 2 resolutions and work towards those resolutions [...]
A year-and-a-half ago, if you had asked me what my 3 greatest fears are, My answer would have been:
Childbirth
Surgery (or specifically wisdom teeth extraction)
blowing out my knees.
A year ago I gave birth, with no pain medication, to a sweet baby boy. Midway through the birth, I looked at the doctor and said, “You know, this [...]
