There are Still Ups and Downs - But this has changed my life forever!

The day my life was changed for the better was on Feb. 2nd, 2015.  I am now coming up to my 1 year anniversary and I know that I am not perfect.. I still fall off the wagon every once in awhile and I am never perfect.  I struggle with getting all my water in and I take all my vitamins 95% of the time.  I am human and I know I will never be this perfect human being.  All I know is that I take it one day at a time and I get up and try the best that I can everyday!   As long as I focus on trying my best, being active with my family, and make sure that I am now living life without any regrets.  

I started at 344 pounds and I am now 218 pounds.  My weight loss journey is not over because my goal is to reach 150 pounds.  However, I know it will take a lot of reminding that I am worth it and that I can do this!!!

Also - I have another milestone coming up on February 14th!  This will be my first 1/2 marathon that I am going to strive to complete in under 4 hours.  I know it will be tough... but I know I can do it!!  

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!!  Even if you fall some days or even if you look back and say I am not perfect and I can not do this!! We are all human and have a strength inside of us to keep on going and to keep on striving to be the best we can be!!
