This was a challenging week. With my girls being sick, I didn't have much motivation to do much really. But I did get my workouts in...the eating part not so good. Kind of disappointed but I feel good knowing I still got my workouts in.
Monday I ran 3 miles. Tuesday I did nothing. :( Hard day with my little baby. Wednesday was a 2.5 run. Thursday I hiked the mountain near by which was another 2.25 miles and then my big run on Friday was FIVE MILES! I ran the whole way without stopping. I felt amazing!
Total week mileage ran.... 10.5 miles!! Insane! I feel so good.
Last night Tanner and I were at Target trying to find some pants for our soon to be trip to Utah. I had bought a size 11 right after my birthday in October. They were getting pretty big on me so I thought I'd try to find some new ones. I tried a size 8 on and guess what?! They were big! I now wear a size 6!!! I have not worn a size 6 since high school. My senior year to be exact. That was 2004/2005. It felt amazing pulling those pants up and actually being able to button them! I was starting to lose motivation after this week. With the drama of sick kids, crazy busy time with photography and having to run with my girls. But....it's all good now that I can wear a size 6! (Every brand of jeans are different. I think I'm a 8/6 depending on the brand. But still! Better than an 11!)
I am a mom of 2 girls and married for 5 years to my sweet husband. Growing up, I was always involved in sports. I was in great shape and never had weight issues. When I became pregnant with my first is when the weight issues started. And for every year since I couldn't figure out how to lose the weight. I finally have motivation and I'm finally doing what I've set out to do. I am now in training for a marathon which was something far from my comfort zone. I was NOT a runner. EVER. But through my journey, I am now. And I love it! Thank you for reading my story and please if you have any questions or need anything please feel free to email me! I hope to motive and inspire all who read my blog.
