		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest problems I use to have was saying "Tomorrow I am going to get started again."  I would tell myself this over and over until tomorrow became next week, next week became next month, and next month became next year.  I sat year after year spinning my wheels thinking "Tomorrow's the day."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was out on a bicycle ride with a good friend of mine.  As we were riding we started talking about the progress I've made over the past year in the sport of triathlon and how I am feeling as I prep for next Ironman in November.

I told him I felt unbelievably different.  I am down several pounds, my cycling has improved, and so has my running.  Most importantly, my mindset has improved.  Last year when I took on the Kona Ironman I had no idea what I was doing.  I didn't know that carrying around extra weight could affect me as much as it did.

Last weekend I was flipping through the channels and caught the replay of the Kona Ironman on NBC.  I watched the race and saw my brief segment once again.  When I saw myself, I wasn't disappointed, I was a little sad.  The reason I was sad was because I knew that I had a false sense of how I looked and felt physically.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, day 1 at Biggest Loser Fitness Ridge Resort is done.  It started at 6:15 AM with a hike and the rest of the day was filled with working out and having classroom sessions.  In total I ended up doing around 7 hours of work outs.  Though many of the classes were challenging, you may be surprised to find out what class was the hardest for me.

		<description><![CDATA[
Tonight I arrived at the Biggest Loser Fitness Ridge Resort in Utah.  As soon as I arrived I was taken to be measured, weighed, and have my picture taken.  After that I was suppose to go to supper.  I went out to my car and had a mini panic attack.  I felt like the new kid in school.  A lot of the people had been here a while and already knew each other.  I was intimidated.  I was more nervous tonight than when I went on The Biggest Loser.

		<description><![CDATA[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.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I talked a little about how we can't change others, only ourselves.  I want to talk about how our actions speak louder than words.  By changing ourselves we can encourage those around us to make changes without saying a word.  I am going to share how I use to be a "gonna do" person instead of a "do" person.

		<description><![CDATA[I knew I had changed a lot when I was on the ranch.  It was easy to see the physical changes.  What I didn't see is how much I had changed internally.  I arrived home to the fanfare of a small town 4th of July.  Many of my friends and family were there as well as my favorite local band The Cedar Island Band.  It was an exciting time.  Most people hadn't seen me thin in years and some had never even know me as a thin person.

Well, that is kind of what I talked about.  Today I am going to talk about how The Biggest Loser changed me personally.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a serious question I want you to think about.  What do you suppose would happen to you if you walked up to someone at the grocery store, looked in their cart, and then picked something up and asked them if they should be eating whatever it was that you picked up?

They may look at you like you were crazy or they may spray you with a can of pepper spray.  This very incident has happened to my wife and I on several occasions.  When you go on television you open yourself up to receive unsolicited opinions both bad and good.
