Where has the time gone?!
Time has flown!
I have no idea if anyone still checks in here or not, but I just thought about a quick update!Back in March, about two weeks before my birthday, I realize that I had to get back into working out and just generally taking care of myself. I had never been as heavy--except when I was pregnant.
I started paying attention to what I was eating and in April purchased another pair of running shoes since my others were four years old. I started jogging in addition to paying attention to my nutrition. Things finally fell into place because I put my health as the number one focus. Not losing weight. Not getting skinny. Not trying to fit into my old jeans.
Just get healthy.
It felt good. Almost two months into getting back into running I had worked up to almost two miles a day! I had lost a little weight and felt pretty good.
Then my foot started to bother me.
To backtrack a bit... About three summers ago, I managed to drop a 45 pound plate on my left foot and it just hasn't been the same since. That all too familiar pinch in my foot lead me to get back into weight lifting since running is obviously no longer going to cut it.
Slow and steady. Focusing on giving my body the nutrients it needs to work properly and efficiently. Hitting the weights.
Here I am now. Nineteen pounds lighter than I was back in March. :) Needless to say, I'm pretty happy and look forward to seeing how my body continues to respond!
