Transformation

I got up today and ran 9.5 miles. The weather was surprisingly nice for seventies and 93% humidity. At least there was a breeze and the sun wasn't too brutal yet. I did my usual run 9/10 and walk 1/10 because I find it makes it more enjoyable for me. It was a really great run except for the jerk in the park who specifically didn't greet me when I said good morning. Have a great day, jerk. See how nice running endorphins make me? 

So, as promised, here are my "After" pictures.

My first 5k:

Training and Springfield Half Marathon

Recent Pictures After Reaching a Healthy BMI Weight

 As you can see, I'm about 65% of my former self (haha). There are still improvements I could make to my diet (cut down on sugar!) and exercise (lift more weights)! but I'm super proud of how far I've come. Hopefully the pictures didn't crash your computer! 

My goals remain to run 100 miles every month, go to the gym an average of at least once a week (to make sure the membership is worth it!) and three times a week if I can (to hit all the classes I like!), eat cleaner, worry less, and enjoy life! (Oh, and not to spend more "birthday money" than I actually received!)
