I just saw this Groupon offer for one week at the Biggest Loser Ranch and I came very close to booking it! They have 3 locations – Niagara Falls, Utah and Malibu, but the offer was only for 2 – Niagara Falls and Malibu.
For awhile I was already picturing myself hiking, eating meals prepared by health conscious chefs and getting massages. I think that one week at the ranch would probably help me lose the pounds that I think I need to lose.
Since money is short these days I think that perhaps it is better to spend that money on some other vacation and lose the pounds on my own.
I think that if I really wanted I could lose those extra stubborn pounds by tweaking my eating habits a bit.
Could I really? If so, why haven’t I done that yet? Perhaps I don’t want it bad enough!!
Would I be better off spending the $1,700 (that was the offer price, which normally goes for $2,400) on some other vacation?
Would it be better to go to a skiing location and continue to improve my shaky beginning skiing skills? (which is by the way the plan this winter – improve my skiing). Or perhaps I should relax body and mind and refresh my tan with a stay at a Caribbean island?
Perhaps if they were offering this promotion at the Utah location I would be more tempted. I have gone to Niagara Falls and to Malibu, but never to Utah. And I could go skiing there also!
One thing is for sure: If that is what I have pondering over today, I certainly have no problems and nothing to complain about!
Life is amazing and I am blessed! and I know it!

How about purchasing (with the $1700 a good stationary bike and a couple of riding DVDs. Put the rest in the bank and use the bike and DVD? It will last much longer.
Also, remember that a good exercise and diet routine is one that can be done forever. Starving and pushing yourself too hard simply helps you lose the weight for a few months. As my doctor said, “take awhile to lose it. It took awhile to gain it.”
Slow and steady does, indeed, win the race.

That would make too much sense – lol. Actually I have all those thinks but lack the motivation. I am in good shape, but not where I would like to be, so I thought that would give the extra nudge.
Many blessings! 🙂
