After my hiatus

Okay folks, here it comes. Some people get into the business of Mary Kay or Park Lane jewelry. It has always bugged me that their product began to define them. To be honest, it still kind of does.  

But now I understand them…a little…because I think I’ve found my product. Although the word ‘product’ really doesn’t do it justice. It’s really more of a lifestyle change, fueled by this program.

Since October 20^th, I’ve lost 20 pounds. And that’s counting a 2 ½ week accidental hiatus – I was taking an herbal supplement that kicked me out of fat burning mode. (More on what fat-burning mode means to come.) This also explains my lapse in postings the past few weeks.

20 pounds! That’s huge! I’ve got 25 pounds more to go to reach my goal.

Yes 20 pounds is a big deal. But I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my ‘why’s’ and how none of them feature me wearing a sign around my neck advertising my weight. My ultimate goal is OPTIMAL HEALTH, not just losing weight. The numbers do speak the loudest and they are an easy way to convey that I’m choosing healthy options. So yes, I’ll probably still shout for joy over every poundJ

But let it be known that I definitely am shooting for more than just skinny. I’m shooting for running with Marley and being comfortable in my own skin. I’m getting there, I’m getting there.
