Day 29: Ruby


One of my favorite shows on TV is called Ruby. The show is on Style Network on Sunday nights and it chronicles the weight loss journey of Ruby Gettinger. Ruby started out weighing over 700 pounds, and the show has documented the last couple of years of her life as she has dropped approximately 400 pounds.
Each season depicts Ruby's triumphs and struggles as she deals with what caused her to balloon to her original weight and figures out strategies for taking off those pounds. Ruby seems to live life a little more with each pound she loses.

Her vibrant personality and hilarious sayings combine with her charismatic charm make the show a joy to watch. And Ruby also has a strong support group of friends who help her stay motivated on her journey.

Last week's episode involved a therapy session. Ruby's therapist encouraged her to think of 5 changes she could make in her life to boost her weight loss and live healthier.

Ruby did things like getting rid of diet sodas, changing out the big chair she sat in for a smaller one, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

I was so inspired by that idea of getting rid of 5 hindrances, that I thought it would be nice to bring that challenge to the blog.

So over the next week I am going to be thinking of 5 changes I can make to help me live healthier. And I want all of you to do the same. And next Wednesday we'll discuss what changes we're going to make to enhance our weight loss.
