5K!

This morning I ran my first 5K since Monica has been born.  I was signed up to do one on her four month birthday, but then I got the stomach flu. :o(  My time was 29:50 which was not my fastest, but I think pretty great for my post baby body.  My friend Breanna did it with me and I know I ran faster because she was there- thanks Bree!  I know you will enjoy this sweaty post race picture of me.

Many of you have known me from the time I sometimes mentally refer to as "before."  Some of you have only know me in the "after."  The time I'm referring to is when I weighed exactly 66 more pounds than I do now.  About six years ago I changed my life by eating less and moving more and I am proud that it wasn't just a yo yo diet and I that have been able to maintain my initial weight loss.  I am currently back at prebaby weight and have set a goal for myself to loose 20 pounds more by November.  I am foolishly putting this on the blog in the hopes that when I go to put that extra food in my mouth I will remember that I have an army of avid blog follows (probably just my mom) to help keep me accountable to myself.  Feel free to check up on me or especially to call me out if I start posting pictures of half eaten ice cream sundaes.
