former fatty runs 5 k!!

May 22, 2009

Well, it has been a while since I have updated on my blog.  I am well in to a weight loss of over 80 lbs.  The weight has been agonizingly slow to come off, but I haven't been as exact about my diet.  I am letting those carbs sneak into my life again.  I seem to tolerate them more and therefore have been eating them.  I was able to complete my 5 k run (didn't sop to walk once!!).  I felt so proud of myself.  As I came to the finish line I felt all chocked up, started to kinda cry a little.  My daughter ran  up to the finish line  and gave me a "high 5" and my husband was there to take pics.  My parents were even there to cheer me on.  (See, I never played sports in school, was never athletic at all  and I wanted them to be there, just like parents go to watch their kids play sports now!)  When it was all done I was thinking how "easy" this was and actually felt like I could keep going.  God bless, my best friend who ran/walked with me.  I talked her into this months ago and she did it with me.  That is true friendship. 

So, summer is here and new things are in the works.  I have a bike to learn how to ride again. I bought shorts for the first time in 15 yrs and even some skirts and dresses.  I am excited to buy clothes again. I find myself out stimulating the economy every weekend  by buying new clothing.   This will defiantly be a great summer.  I look back to last summer and think about how miserable I was at almost 240lbs.  Life is good my friends.....life is good.
