Biggest Loser 5k

I did something today. I registered for the Biggest Loser 5k run Aug 31 in Buffalo NY.  I felt Proud and excited for a few minutes. Until I tested my blood sugar and realized how long the road ahead is a long one to be fit and trained. Then I got sad. And tired. And my energy left my body. 

Squirrel thought: I need to research high protein low carb diets. And easy meal options. I think bread and cracker less is the way to go. 

Ok, so I felt alone when I published my news on fb. I was going to make it a secret but then I thought about it and made the decision to make myself accountable. 

Little did I know my decision was about to change my dear friend kimbos life. 

She wrote me a txt that made me feel proud, laugh and cry all at once. As painful as it is I want to share it with you, because it depicts the struggle most of us face on a daily basis with our body blues: 

"I have been in this rut for a while now. I've been putting on weight like crazy, and getting depressed from all the pounds I've been gaining. I've pretty much been in a downward spiral and I have been iching to climb out, with no motivation. And then I saw your post and I got so exited for you and thought to myself "I wish I could be like her and do something like that". I instantly heard your voice in my head and I heard you say "come on Kim, you can do it we can do it together, don't be such a wuss" lol. So I decided I can and that is all because if you. Because of your post and because of your positivity and your friendship. Thanks jenny luv you an I can't wait xoxo"

Since I recd that txt, I have researched learn to run programs and have set Kimmy and I up to get up to 5:1 in 8 weeks. From there, we tone and train and focus on healthy lifestyle.

This is the beginning of something huge.
