Accomplished

I accomplished something I didn't think I could never do! I finished a 5k 

It was emotional to finish. I didn't have any question I would finish. I was not excited about the rain but I was going to run. And that I did. 

Roland came down to run with me. His support is unwavering. He ran it just for me! 

This is us after. We were messy! It was a color run and fun! 

Me and Cathy. She did such a great job and finished the race! I'm so proud of her! She's a sole sister for sure! 

Checking off the last check mark on my shirt after the race . 

He was there at the finish. I was so glad he could be there. It made the biggest accomplishment even better. 

We all did it! 

These two kept me in the game. We ran together every week. So proud of them. They have lost 68 pounds too, between the two of them. 

Messy me at the end! 

Just some recent stuff

It's a random snap shot. I didn't realize how small I really am. (3/11/14)

I run. Training for a 5k. This was my first day running non stop for 20 minutes. Skinny legs ... 

I lost 102 pounds. And Qyn is 102 pounds. So to carry him on my back. It hurt. Immediately brought pain to my lower back. A familiar pain... I felt it all the time. Crazy how it came right back. 

This is not what I looked like the last time I was at a concert in Phillips arena. I was at my heaviest then and me and Monty had a picture and it became a fav, I didn't look that big in the picture. Now, I don't worry. 

The latest scale pic. In the 130s... And holy freaking moly. A size 4... That's what I buy now. Insane. Like totally insane. Mind blowing. 

I had decided I would be fine with a 10. I was there for so long. It was fine... I ran and that... That did it. I skipped size 8 totally. Completely. Went right into a 6... And then 4. Some things are still 6, but I buy 4s now. I never thought I'd be here. 

That's a Girl with curves, the good kind. 

I never thought

Let's go back 18 years. 

I never thought I'd be a fat girl. I never thought grabbing a snickers bar for lunch would end up being a habit hard to break. 

I never thought I had a struggle ahead of me. 

I never saw it coming. I was skinny. Couldn't be that hard to stay that way. 

Fast forward 14 years. 

I never thought I could get a handle on this struggle. 

I never thought I'd see anything except the fat miserable girl staring at me in the mirror when I had to look.

I never thought I'd wear a number on my shirt for a race.
