Has it really been 3 months since my last post? For all of you avid followers of mine, I am sorry but this girl has been BUSY! Work, and my workouts in general have been crazy good,challenging, but amazing all in one! The one thing over these past fews months that I have been learning about, and just coming to terms with is that it is not as easy for me to pull big numbers anymore, or just continue to losing weight each week. There are times where I would kill myself in the gym, get on the scale and maybe just hit a two pound loss... Part of me wants to still be losing these big numbers but I have to look at the big picture. After losing over 100 pounds I just need to keep challenging myself! I have to say that I am completely happy at where I am at right now, but I can't get lazy! The pounds will come off, but I just need to be happy and see how far I have come!
Another awesome thing that I completed this last weekend was my first 8k! I did the Shamrock run in downtown Portland, and let me tell you..It was a wet, yet amazing experience! To be honest, I can't even describe the feeling of being among all of these other people who, may have been running for years longer than I have, and had been in shape so much longer than I have. But, to be there and running and PASSING people like this was an awesome feeling!
**And not to mention I completed 4.97 miles in 47:12 and placed 130th place overall in the women's 20-24 year old range was pretty awesome!**
I am sure all of you are wondering..What's next yet again for me? Next step is running an 10k in April or May and then running the Helvetia Half Marathon in June! I will also be rewarding myself with an awesome trip to Vegas in June as well! I'm hoping that I can lose about 10 more pounds before this trip, that way I can be comfortable and able to enjoy the sun and vegas in some cute outfits and bathing suits!
Life is good, and I'm continuing to live it!
