6 weeks in : Goals and Zantigo

I am continuing to hang out at 141 pounds.  I, in no way, am disappointed with that.  See, I used to weigh 282 pounds.  I am also training for a 5k so I feel like my body is changing and I am gaining good muscle and losing bad fat.  This morning, I am preparing for my long couch to 5K run.  This includes a warm up and running for 20 minutes strait.  Forest GUMP are I.  Run Forest Run!

I am so excited for this week!! My goals:

1. Drop 1 pound - I am hoping to reach my Drivers License weight
2.Talk to 5 new people about Advocare - I really want those that I love to be successful
3. Continue reconnecting with old friends
4. Learn how to mow with the tractor - Pictures to follow
5. Get my wig busted - Here is a picture from yesterday, I need a trim.  FO REAL.  Isn't my Mom cute?

I also had an aha moment in the past few days.  On Friday, I passed by an old Zantigo restaurant on South High Street.  Whilst the site of the old building calls to mind the famed Chilito, I remember this building for a different reason.  When I was 18, I was introduced to the undercover world of weight loss.  See, there was a "Doctor" located at the Zantigo that would provide diet pills for cash.  All I know is: She was foreign, black and wanted cash.  She never knew my name and sent me out the door within 5 minutes with a bottle of Fen Phen (speed).  I took the speed for a few months and lost 25 pounds.  When I stopped taking the drugs, I gained it all back plus another 15 pounds.  I know, shocking right?

That Zantigo represents a sad past of gorging on food (chilito's) and my hush hush attempts to find a quick fix for weight loss. 

What have I learned?  To be healthy, I have to make a conscience choice about what I put in my mouth and unfortunately, there is no pill or quick fix to health.  It is one day at a time. One step at a time. One choice at a time.

Love and Health.  Kris
