Hey Everyone, it’s Bernie! I am in celebration mode this week. First of all, I got to watch my brother receive his Doctor of Pharmacy degree. He was “hooded” and everything. Very cool. Then I got to crush my personal best record for a half marathon at the Indy Mini. I also got to celebrate mother’s day with my lovely mom.
The celebrations continue as I am headed to the Finale Show for The Biggest Loser! It’s hard to believe another season is coming to a close – even harder to believe that I have kept my weight off for over a year! I never thought a healthier life was possible for me at my 300+ pounds weight. I never would have believed you if you said I would be involved in coaching a contestant through the marathon — Mike, you did awesome buddy!
The Gang After The Biggest Loser Marathon
It has been one crazy journey and I am so grateful for my new lifestyle and everything I learned along the way. I am still transforming on the inside because it doesn’t end and frankly, I don’t want it to.
One thing that I tell myself and people looking for inspiration is… ENJOY THE JOURNEY
We talk about this in THE NURTURE PRINCIPLES because it is so important to staying focused on the big picture. You will have a lot of mini highs and lows and the point is to not beat yourself about it, look for the positives and use that energy to set yourself back on track.
There is something to learn from all your experiences so be open to finding it.
Today, I’ll celebrate with this season’s winners and contestants, former contestants, my old trainers, and many others involved with the show. As I congratulate them I’ll be celebrating my own journey, looking forward at what is next to come in my life. Wherever you are in your quest toward wellness, I am sure you have one or two accomplishments you can celebrate. So do it. Enjoy your journey. Celebrate you!
