Ok, so I have totally ignored all things health and weight related for some time now. As you can see from my drop in on FS every few months and each associated weight gain, things have not been going in the right direction. I attribute that to really not trying or caring. However, each day presents a new challenge and I was just given one by my Dr. sounds like good news doesn't it. As it turns out I have enough cholesterol coursing through my veins to solve the current oil crisis. I make your average High Risk patient look like a paragon of health and clean living. On the upside there isn't a comma in my cholesterol number but something must be done. So out goes the red meat, the cheese, the beer, the booze, the burgers, the wings and it is time to drop 34 pounds and get to that 160 that I put up on FS as a goal so many years ago. I can't believe I joined FS in 2008 and never got around to losing the weight. Well no time like the present. To help facilitate this little adventure I have signed up for a 10K in August. By the way, my screen name Run4Fun was meant as sarcasm. So now I have to start running or face public humiliation and ridicule. I know all you FS peeps can't make me do the work but I would love it if some of you would help keep me accountable. Please, call me on it when the weight doesn't go down or I fail to post a weight and exercise amount. I will be posting daily from now until August 20. By then I should be 160 and able to run a 10K in under an hour. And hopefully have a cholesterol number that look less like a social security number.
So here goes.
