June is here. I've been MIA but not dormant. I've been very busy!
5k season is in the air. And this soon to be skinny girl has been working her booty off. Literally!
Color Run KC was June 1st. As you all know, I started my journey January 1st 2013 at 261 lbs. Since I've been changing my lifestyle. I've been eating right, working out, being active and staying focused. I participated in a 4 mile event in May to see how I'd do. One hour and 12 minutes later I crossed the finish line satisfied that I'd done it.
June 1st at 8am we were at the start line for the Kansas City Color Run. I stood at a whopping 234 lbs. (That's right folks, this fat girl has lost 27 lbs!). We waited and got pumped up with the crowd. I had my friend, Sarah, by my side and we planned to walk / jog in increments at our comfort level. Time not being a factor obviously as this was both our first actual 5k. We finished up at 52 minutes and were both pleased with ourselves.
We have a full month ahead! Muddy obstacle courses and more 5ks! This year will prove to be my most accomplished yet! And the weight loss is finally on a downward slide!
While I may not be on point for my 1 year/ 100 lbs goal... I'm making changes to last a life time. I'm changing my body for good, not just for the moment. :)
