First 5K in my Life..... Amazing

I accomplished the first 5k run of my Life this Saturday. I had so much self doubt built up due to my fitness level. I was excited but scared. I had hoped to be in much better shape by the time of this event. I did the Rugged Maniac 5K here in Portland, OR. When I arrived at the event and saw this hugs wall you had to climb at the finish line I was so nervious. My head trash was like why are you here, you cant climb that and WOW this is gona kick your ass. The event was 3.1 miles with I believe 17 obsticals. There was mud holes, tires, bleachers, jumping over fire, balancing on 2x4 over mud hole, camel crawl in mud under barbed wire, slidding face first into mud, climbing, jumping and all kinds. It was so much fun I want MORE. I have signed up for three more runs this year.

What I want to say no matter your fitness level you have to gry things you have to get out there and show yourself that anything is possible. I showed myself so much this weekend and I am so proud of what I did. A big pat on the back and a high five. I still have 52 lbs to lose. I am like on a 4 month plateau but still not giving up pressing forward is what this girl is doing. I am so happy my kids talked me into daring what I thought not possible for "IM-POSSIBLE" and so are you.

This fitness journey has been long, ten months with many more to go. Its not a race its not a diet its a LIFESTYLE Change. I am eating healthier, making concious decisions to eat better and workout more often. I love how I feel and cant wait til the day I feel healthy.

Never doubt your journey, I dont care how big you are everyone has to start somewhere. Be proud of who you are and where you are going. Its worth every step and Change.

Positive self talk is key, make collages and put them around your home of your Goals. If you need help on your fitness journey I am here for you message me.
