I Did It!

Five and a half months after surgery, nearly 100 pounds down from my highest weight and 80 pounds down from my surgery weight, and today, I completed a 6.4 mile walk in 2 hours.  We were in the first pack of folks to complete the walk.  I'm sore, but I can't be any more proud of myself than I am today.  A year ago I would NOT have been able to do this, and today I totally rocked it.  What's even better is that I raised $200 for the March of Dimes!

I love my new life!

Pictures!!!  Lookie!!!

 

Getting ready to start off!  The park was gorgeous!

Awww…schmoopy!

About 3 miles in!

About 4.5 miles in…we can see the town from here!

Are we there yet?

 

Kudo's to you, Bernice!

GREAT JOB Bernice, now I feel guilty and will be going to my treadmill now. LOL.. You are still a great inspiration to me. I think I'll try a little harder, because if Bernice can get out there and do that...well Gina you better get your rear up too :) .  Thanks for sharing
