Wow!

Boy have things changed since my last post over a year ago.  Here is a quick update.

I ended up having a miscarriage and getting pregnant again three months later.  I was so incredibly sick the first trimester of my pregnancy that I really didn’t gain that much weight.  However, I was already overweight so the 35 pounds that I gained made me go over the 200 pound mark!  Scary stuff.

My husband and I had an incredibly difficult summer.  As in we almost didn’t make it and are trying to slowly rebuild our relationship. Partly I feel responsible for our troubles because I let myself go, but mostly it was him. This did not help my self-esteem at all.

Now I have had the baby and was released to exercise.  I started the Couch to 5k program in an effort to get back into shape and lose weight. I noticed the Sisterhood has a Virtual 5k program and I have joined.  So, I decided to blow the dust of this old blog in order to keep track of my weight loss journey.

I am currently on week three. Meaning I had to run 3 minutes straight last night, it was not as bad as I expected but it was not easy either.  I am proud of myself because I did not give up.  I ran that second three minutes even though my head was telling me to just walk.  I can do this!  I. CAN. DO. THIS.
