I did it!

I just ran 5k and feeling pretty good about it. I know, this is small change for some of you, but I'm still proud of myself.

Something I learned trying to get back into running shape since Isla, eat before you run! I've known this for awhile but haven't really put much thought into it. Well anyhow, I started running after Isla came, and I was having a terrible time, getting major cramps, feeling horrible....then I remembered that I needed to eat an hour or more before I went jogging. What a difference it has made. I've learned an apple isn't enough, I need a bit more than that, and it needs to be good energy food. Anyhow, you all probably know this already, but just in case not, I hope this helps. :)

Bodily Family Biggest Loser RESULTS

Great job to everyone that participated! Our family has gone a long way since we began our challenge in January. I am so proud of everyone and of the hard work that we each put forth. Though we each had our ups and downs and found ourselves gaining weight in some weeks, we truly did an awesome job. Together, we have lost OVER 111.6 lbs!!! This number doesn't include Brad's, Jeremy's, Meagan's, or Josh's number. I can see a difference in the after photos for each of us that did them and it's great! I want to truly thank everyone that participated and congratulate you each on your success!!!

Though our family challenge has come to an end, I give you each a new challenge... Keep it Up! Healthy living isn't just for those who are trying to lose weight and hit a particular number, it is for everyone and it should never stop. So I urge us all to continue to exercise regularly and to eat nutritionally. You CAN do it! And please remember, we are FAMILY. We are here for each other and will continue to support one another. We can still talk openly to each other about our failures and our successes, our frustrations and motivations. Keep talking and lets continue to work TOGETHER and help one another achieve our healthy living goals and maintain them!
