Transformation...

I know I haven't blogged in awhile, I'm sorry! I said I would do better and I guess I failed. Oops! BUT....that is the ONLY thing I've been failing at. I just have to take a moment and say that I am starting to see serious results from my training. I can fit into ALL of my old clothes and I've had to get rid of most of my wardrobe because they are too big. I am starting to feel beautiful and strong. I believe that I will be able to finish this half-marathon with no problem and I've developed an inner strength that I've never had.

I found an old food journal of mine and was pretty much horrified of its contents. Here's an example of what I used to eat:

Breakfast-Sausage Burrito from Sonic

Lunch-Hamburger and fries

Snack-Chips

Dinner-Pizza

Dessert-Ice Cream or Candy

NO WONDER I WAS FAT!!!!! I can honestly say the thought of eating all of that in one day...makes me sick to my stomach now. I am still tempted by some of those foods, but I cannot imagine how bad eating all of that feels. Never again!

This is an example of what I eat today:

Breakfast-Fiber muffin and a banana

Snack-Apple and 60 calorie pudding

Lunch-Veggie soup and cheese

Snack-Special K crackers

Dinner-Lean protein and 2 vegetables

*never white carbs-always brown.

I've come such a long way. I was so sick and unhappy before I started training. I am not done, but I am amazed at how different I feel. It took a long time for me to feel different, but I finally do and am so happy with my determination and dedication to this process. I'm almost at 30 lbs lost since I began running in December and I'm going to run 11 miles tomorrow.

2 weeks till my half-marathon!!! It's now time to become a machine!
