Seeing Results and Conquering Goals

     Good morning! This is going to be short, but for my post today, I have a couple of exciting things to share... so here we go!

• I completed my first 5K!!! I'm so proud! I walked most of it, but I still did it. My time was 55:51, and I'm really happy that I not only finished it in under an hour, but I also didn't come in last! To think that at the beginning of the year, a 5K is something I thought I would never be able to do (which, in all fairness and with the shape I was in at the time, I couldn't have done) and now I have done it and still had energy to do more!
• I also got some new clothes this past week... and went down at least 1 or 2 sizes in everything! And you know what else? I can fit in medium-sized clothing now. I don't ever remember being able to fit into a medium anything, ever. And to have it actually be flattering, and just a little bit loose? HA.

Don't let your life pass you by. Challenge yourself each and every day to be better. It takes time, so be patient with yourself. If you stick to it, you will see a difference in the person you've become, whether it be physical or not. You are worth it.

Getting yourself out there can help you meet new people that will inspire 

you to be better and will cheer you on as you go. I had the opportunity

to meet a new friend who walked with me the entire time and cheered for 

me as I ran across the finish line at my first 5K this morning.
