Big Accomplishment

On July 4th, I did something that I had never done before...Oh, I have participated in the PeachTree Road Race for 5 years, but I have never actually RAN. Yes I ran, not the whole way, mind you, but I was able to cut my time to the finish line to under two hours. 1:48:57 to be exact!! It felt great to finish without any pain or discomfort.
Now I am going to train to hopefully run/walk in a half marathon for my 50th birthday..yeah, I know, I have 2 and a half years to train, but I can do it. )

2 days til the Peachtree Road Race

This will be my 5th time walking in the race. Last year I was hurting so bad due to a degenerated disk, spondylosis of the L5 and plantar fasciitis. This year, I am able to trot a little and I think I'll be able to beat my last year's time :)  
I have also been able to wear smaller clothes :) I have a closet full of cute clothes that I want to be able to wear in about a month when I go to New Orleans. I can't wait to go to NFA this year!!

About 2 months ago, I set out to finish what I had started. I wanted to get this weight off that I had gained back while I was in school. About 25 pounds. I found a great support group on FaceBook, well, they found me and invited me to join. I am glad I did. Yummy recipes and great support from friends all over the world. I have lost 16 pounds since the first of May :) I have changed the name of my blog from My Journey to Livin La Vida Low Carb because that is what I am doing now...Living the low carb life.
