I am 3 weeks sober today!
I’ve had an awful stomach bug the last couple of days. Today is the first day I felt okay enough to attempt a run. I made it about a mile before I started feeling nauseous again, but I kept up a steady pace and didn’t give up!
I’m proud of myself for getting out there 👍🏻
Also, today was an absolutely beautiful day and I didn’t want to see it be wasted inside.
Today was an eye opening day for me.
The past few months I’ve been in a downward spiral I’ve been trying desperately trying to get out of. I stopped caring about my health; I ate whatever I felt like eating. I stopped working out altogether. I got behind on school work. I’ve been coming home from work and drinking 5-6 glasses of wine then going to bed.
I’m currently almost 30 lbs heavier than my lowest weight. And it happened SO quickly. But I can feel it... I can’t keep up with my fast paced job. I get tired walking up a flight of stairs. I’m tired literally all the time. I have a constant headache.
I keep trying to blame it on life happening. On stress, on family problems, on being busy. But I really have no one to blame but myself.
Today I went to the gym for the first time in a long time. Every second of my trail run I could feel my legs burning, my lungs struggling, and my heart pounding. But I didn’t give up and at the end I felt so incredibly proud of myself.
I know it’s going to be a hard road to get back to where I was and continue on this journey, but I’m committed to gaining my health back.
Side by side comparisons are my favorite.
260 lbs vs. 202 lbs
Sometimes I forget how far I’ve come and it’s so nice to look back and remember.
I don’t have many pictures of my at my highest weight, for obvious reasons. But I came across this one today and was just in awe. Sometimes it’s easy to forget where I started when my progress is slow, or when I have a set back.
This has been the hardest, most rewarding journey I’ve ever taken. I know I’ve still got a ways to go, but look at how far I’ve come ❤️
Pushed through my workout and left feeling better than I came in 💪🏼
Pulled myself out of my dark anxiety hole and went for an army course run! Cut my arm open army crawling, but I survived!
Funny how awful I felt at the start, and not even 10 minutes in I felt liberated, free, and strong.
Everyone has bad days, they build character.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
This Florida heat is kicking my ass, I’m so ready for a nice cool weather run 😂
