Before last season - Season 8 - I had never watched an episode. When we learned that our boy, Sean Algaier, was going to be on the show, we just had to watch; Sean's hilarious! We were hooked after the first five minutes, to be sure. By the end of the first episode we had started planning the rest of the semester around the show, making sure to keep our Tuesday nights sacred.
Call us crazy, but The Biggest Loser has sparked a whole new energy and enthusiasm about rebuilding these temples we call bodies. Steph has gotten brutally honest and super-serious about her weight-loss, and she welcomes the rest of the world to join her. I have even been motivated to take up running (did 2.3 miles on the "rolling hills" setting today) and get myself back in shape!
We don't want to get fit to impress anyone (other than each other). We want to get fit to please our Father who gave us these bodies in the first place.
Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
1 Cor. 6:19-20 (The Message)
It is time for us to stand up, take charge, and become the people God designed us to be.
Who's with us?
Peace, Love, and Dark Chocolate
