I love watching the Biggest Loser. It’s full of ups and downs, sweat and tears, drama and triumphs, commercials and more commercials. That being said (and all in good fun)…

Here are a few things I’ve learned from watching the Biggest Loser:

• Bob can solve any problem with a Ziploc bag and a stick of Extra Sugar Free Gum
• The only reason why Jillian never loses her voice is because she drinks a lot of Brita filtered water
• The more the contestants cry the more water weight they lose before stepping on the scale. But then again…
• Johnson & Johnson should be a sponsor next season so there will be NO MORE TEARS!
• If this personal training gig doesn’t work out, Jillian has a great career ahead of her as a Biggest Loser psychologist
• Getting a bodybugg at 24 Hour Fitness does not require a prescription
• If you’re going to get kicked off the ranch get kicked off before they make you run the marathon
• It takes exactly 1 hour and 55 commercials to weigh 2 contestants

What have you learned from watching this commercial, I mean, reality TV show?

Now I really must go hop on my StreetStrider and go meet Shay at Subway!

Congratulations, Tracey! You won the Filter For Good Brita filter pitcher and Nalgene water bottle!

Send an email to fitnessandspice@gmail.com with your mailing address and I’ll send your prize!

CHEERS!

I think it’s time I kick the bottle. Disposable water bottles that is.

I do a relatively good job of using refillable bottles, but I could do better. And when I read that one Brita Pitcher filter can replace as many as 300 standard 16.9 ounce plastic water bottles (300!) it made me stop and do better faster.

Brita teamed up with Nalgene to help reduce water bottle waste with its Filter For Good campaign. Great idea! Now we can continue to have  great tasting water with less waste.

Want to enter the drawing to WIN a Brita water pitcher and a Nalgene refillable water bottle? Then go to www.filterforgood.com, take the pledge to reduce water bottle waste, drink some water, and then tell us in the comments section what else you pledge to do better this week. The winner will be announced on Thursday, April 29th.

Now I really must go drink some water and see what’s on tap for the day.
