What I did today!!

[alleyoop]

It has been SOOOO long since I have felt that feeling of true pride and personal accomplishment that I truely forgot what it felt like. I am brimming and just want to share and inspire! I ran my very first race EVER this morning! A 5K in just under 32 minutes! Just 3 months after DD's birth by C-section, in XL shorts, with my thighs rubbing together and all!

If I can do a 5K, then believe me, YOU can do anything!! Use 2005 to try something new! Now, about those pesky 30 pounds to loose....

PS. If anyone need a virtual running partner, just let me know. I would love to have some "imaginary" running friends to support!

Congrats Heather!! Way to Go!!!
I really need to start exercising too... but am not back to running form yet.. just fast walking. I need to lose some 30-40 pounds.. ugh. I am the biggest I have ever been. ugh. A size 14 and 160 pounds. I can't believe I am admitting this. I used to be a size 4 and 120 pounds, many moons ago. I need help!!!!!!

My numbers are stricklingly similar. 30 pounds to lose. I've done it before, but cannot seem to get my act together now!!

My wedding dress, not long ago, was a size 4. Tight, but it fit. I don't think I can one thigh in now!!


To the OP: That is SO amazing! Very inspiring!

Awesome. That's so great. Good for you. I'm thinking about taking up running when the weather gets better (even though it's 70 degrees out now).
