weight update

I have been training for a 10k since January of this year. Part of the reason I made this one of my new year resolutions was because I sent the goal last year to lose 50 pounds and I lost 40. So at the start of the new year I knew I still had weight that I wanted/needed to lose,but I also knew that I was on a healthy journey so making a goal to lose weight wasn't really a challenge as much a a fitness goal was.

 I have run two 5ks in my life. The first I didn't train for and I basically walked the whole time and the second one was this past July. I trained for it and I did it about 41 minutes. I'm really nervous to do a 10k,because I feel like you have to be a legit runner to run one and I don't feel legit. I know my body is capable of running 6.2 miles but my mind is not all the way there yet. 

I love having photographic evidence of the changes my body has gone through in the last 16 months. I know I will never be stick skinny,but I'm healthy and I'm proud of my body for all that it can do. I'm in the best shape of my life and I want to continue this healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life. I'm so thankful to Matt for encouraging me and for running beside me.

Here are some pictures from this year's progress so far.
