Who knew?

The statement above is so beyond truthful. There is no time in my past where I thought that I could run for any extended amount of time, ever. This morning 30 minutes running straight. Now it wasn't running as if I was trying to get away from a bear, but as if the bear was running along side me smiling. So, yes slower moving, but running all the same. And the only reason for stopping was because I needed to make food before work, shower and put the roast in the crock pot. Otherwise I honestly feel I could have gone for a little while longer. It was a great feeling, even if I did stumble over my feet a couple of times.

I remember a long time ago I tried to train for a marathon, that was a joke I thought. Didn't think my body was made for running, I am proving myself wrong in so many ways. This morning my BF mentioned that I should get two 25lb weights and try running some tomorrow with them. See how much more weight I was actually working with. It is amazing to see how far I have actually come. I do have a long way to go, but I am doing it. And frankly, it feels f*^king fantastic!

The food part is still a struggle for me, not because I want to eat fatty foods. Really I don't have cravings like I thought I would. But because my budget is smaller than normal. So I have to eat what I have, which is a lot of ground beef. So I make do with what I have. And when my BF and I are working more and bringing in more money then we can focus on really cleaning up our diet. Which I am excited about. I know my mom sent me a cookbook for Christmas that I have wanted for a while. (No I didn't open it, but that is all I asked for and well I'm not dumb)

So soon we will be able to clean up the diet, and continue to work out. I am so excited about all this progress.

GO ME!
