Ok... so this is my second time trying to post. My computer frize up when I was trying to add pics, so I'll try to write something as moving as the original
I DID IT!!! I completed my first 5K!!!
It was 3.1 miles filled with rough terrain, 4 mudpits, a rock wall, 4 fences, jumping between tires and ropes, and other foolishness. I did it though!!! It's an amazing feeling. On my way home, I got a little teary eyed. I was sitting in my car thinking about how overweight I was before and how I was nowhere close to being able to do something like this a year ago. We're not just losing weigh ladies, we're changing out lives. I've always been the overweight girl, and I think I had accepted myself being that way. But after finding out I had PCOS, I decided to give the weight loss a serious try. Fastforward a year and a half, and look at how much my life has changed. I'm more confident, I have more endurance, and I actually just did a 5K- a crazy one at that! I don't even think i knew how much I could do until I was put in a position where I really had to push myself. I've even joined my county's running club, so I plan to keep this up. I guess I can officially call myself a runner now. Who woulda thunk it?!
Doing this has re-motivated me to keep pressing on and get to my weight loss goal. I KNOW how capable I am now, so there are no excuses. Thanks to all of you ladies for your support along the way! Couldn't have done it without you!!!
