Hey everyone, sorry about that last post. Kind of depressing. I'm still in a bit of a funk but I am starting to get out of it. In fact, all the support/supporters around me are helping! I want to thank all of them!
I've been chatting a lot lately about my "journey" with a co-worker, whom is on her own journey (which I hope to post about someday). It's a real joy to be able to talk people with about your story. It allowed me to remember that technically I'm an "after picture," which is a really hard concept to wrap my head around. Even though I may have my day to day struggles, I'm no longer 200lbs+! I have been doing some real self-reflection about this topic.
When I ran my half marathon I was at my second goal weight and even though I may have gained back the 20lbs. I lost during training, I am still under my first goal weight! I am still 30lbs+ under my starting weight. That is still 30lbs+ that I have kept off for over three years! That's huge (pun intended)!
Just like running, it's not just physical but also mental! I have to remind myself to focus on the positive and not only the things that I'm doing now but what I have done.
