Almost Time To Go Home…

Matt Hoover — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:19:19 +0000

I can not believe how quickly the time went here at Fitness Ridge. I also can't believe how much I have changed in those two weeks. I am really excited to be going home and know that I am going to be a better husband, dad, and man. I can't wait to implement what I have learned here at my position at Vision Quest Sport and Fitness as a life coach. My time here is also going to help me in my speaking career.

Have you ever taken a long trip in the car to a vacation destination? Think about it. When it's time to leave you are so excited to be going. When you are about half way you start to think "We should have flown", "Why are we still driving?", "When are we going to be there?" Sound familiar?

Breakthrough Workout!

Matt Hoover — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:10:22 +0000

I am excited today! I had an awesome workout. The kind of workout where you are pushing yourself to the max and are super tired but feel like you can go forever. I call it a breakthrough workout because I can remember moments from my past when I had a workout like this and everything started flowing in the right direction.

Are You Pushing Yourself Hard Enough?

This morning I had the chance to workout with some MMA guys at my gym. For those of you who don't have a clue what MMA is, it's mixed martial arts or most commonly known as ultimate fighters. These guys are tough and their workouts are even tougher. After my workout I realized how easy it is to fool ourselves into thinking we are working harder than we are.

A Fantastic Friday…

Today was just too good of a day to write about Biggest Loser stuff. I took my boys, Rex and Jax, to the zoo and we had a blast. We got there around noon and us being the wild and crazy guys that we are closed the joint down. I have never really been a big fan of the zoo but my boys love seeing the animals so I decided that today I would take them on my own. No mom to keep an eye on all of us.

"You are the Biggest Loser!" The cannon goes off and the confetti flys. I couldn't hear, I was ecstatic. I remember being pulled from interview to interview and then having a few minutes before I was taken off in a car and put on a red-eye flight to New York

Life After The Biggest Loser…. Part 2

Yesterday I talked about what it is like having people know you and how contestants are real people and how we should all be nice to one another and give hugs. Well, that is kind of what I talked about. Today I am going to talk about how The Biggest Loser changed me personally.

The Reality of Reality Weight Loss….

I seriously just erased an entire blog because I didn't like the way it sounded when I read it. I want to talk about some of the realities of being a contestant on The Biggest Loser but I don't want to bash the show. I want to talk about what life is like after but don't want to sound like I am making excuses. Here is what I am going to do. I am going to type what I am thinking and not worry about what others say and here's why.
