My little journey

So 9 months ago in the beginning of February, I decided to make some serious changes in my life.
To start, I began a couch to 5K running program. The picture above is me on the morning of my race which was April 30. The race did not go as well as I wanted it to, but that's a different story. I have dear friends who ran it with me and it was a good way to start. I did not like running. I still do not like running but I do it and I can do it which makes me feel good.
The picture below is what I look like now. It's taken 9 months to lose 32 pounds. It has been such a rewarding experience.
I have chronicled all this on a different blog.
It started because I had my fortieth birthday coming up. It started because I felt low on energy. I still have a long ways to go but I have done it I believe in a smart manner, where it won't come back again. I am so proud of my sister Susie who has done this too! I have lots of opinions on what has worked and what hasn't but the basic premise is you have to eat less and exercise more.
