Holy Pushups! haha I am am laughing because I did like 3 real pushups a few weeks ago and it was the highlight of my week.

Anyway, I never thought I would become any sort of runner and now I’m training for a half marathon!

I went through 20 years of my life thinking that I could not run. Then, I randomly tried jogging one day last year…and I did 3 miles on my first day. I’ve been hooked ever since–I love how strong running makes me feel!

On Monday, I went to a Yoga Works 1/2 class. This was my favorite class that I have taken. The instructor was a great mix of friendliness and knowledge, and his instruction did make me work. My favorite part of the class was the handstand prep; I feel so amazing when doing downward dog with my feet on the wall.

Those are some push-ups, girl! Way to go!
Oh, and those DC M&M’s are seriously addictive. The same thing happened to me at the airport (bought a pack and intended to eat half…oops).

Run a marathon in four hours. I did it in 3:58:03. That was something I thought I could never do.

Sarah,
I know how you feel. I struggle with the same thing! Katie mentioned “No Pudge” brownies… those are great, actually, because you don’t have to make the whole box… I used to only combine a little mix with yogurt and microwave it- they were warm and gooey and delicious. BUT, sometimes I would just go back for more anyways, so it’s not a foolproof solution. I have started to realize that the types of food I eat all day are causing my sugar cravings… so now I try to pay attention to the glycemic index and eat complex carbs and protein and in general and eat very little sugar, and it actually makes me want it less.

When I started running, I wanted to be able to run for 30 minutes. When I achieved that, I wanted to do 5K. Then 5K in under 30 minutes. And then run for an hour straight. I was so proud to accomplish so much when the first time I ran I only made it one minute before my shins hurt so bad I had to stop! I love looking back and seeing how far I’ve come!!

I need to try those Pure bars! Your apple slicer totally looks like fun, and I love Mac ‘n Cheese with broccoli mixed in!

I never thought I could go from a size 26/28 to a size 6/8 just by sheer determination combined with exercise, healthy eating and a positive mindset. I’m still shocked whenever I look in the mirror… but the shock is a good one!
