I never knew

In one week, I ran/walked 20 miles.

I know to some people, twenty miles is nothing, they run miles and miles a day but this over weight heavy girl who hoovers around 200 pounds moved her butt on a treadmill and on the streets for TWENTY miles. I didn't know I could do that. No one ever told me I could do that, but one day I decided I am going to run this race and I am going to train and now I am making doubters turn into believers EVERYDAY! I am motivating people everyday and I am inspiring MYSELF everyday!
This is the first time I am surprising myself everyday and I am getting my family into it. I am so excited that my sisters are working out with Beachbody too! Really, I am excited my family just wants to be healthy.

I never knew that this phase in my life would ever be here. I never thought I would blow up like a blimp and I never lost my self esteem over it but I never knew God would put me here where I am being a coach and having people come to me and ask me how to help them! I mean seriously - me, a normal girl who faces temptation and struggles everyday - JUST LIKE YOU!

So this next week here, I already have 3.6 miles in from today and I have 14 more mandatory miles to go - I am going for 25! I want to outdo myself. I want my body to outdo my brain and I know I can do it.  I know if you wanted to do it, you could. You just have to decide one day that your drive to succeed is bigger than the moment you want to give up so you too  can say "I never knew" but you cannot say no one ever told you because I am telling you, if this girl can get fit and succeed, you can too!

And we have a belly button! I cannot believe how far I have come from picture one!

Goals!

So, I think I mentioned that I joined a few challenges... here's some updates!

1. Pre Christmas challenge, I didn't win but I lost 6 lbs! I will take it!
2. I am currently in a weight loss challenge and I am down 10 lbs! Still have a little more time to go! I am going to crush it, and if I don't win, I still have already lost 10 lbs! That's 50lbs of pressure off my body every time I take a step - isn't that insane!

I have started making my fitness commitments for the year. So far I have signed up for

Glass City Half Marathon
Dirty Girl Mud Run
Color Run

Next commitments I will be making but haven't bought my bib for yet are

Tough Mudder
Survival Race
Race for Recovery


So, here's my question to you... what are you doing? What is keeping you accountable? WHO is keeping you accountable? Have you shared your goals with anyone yet today? I recently started a training accountability page on Facebook - 13 point FREAKIN' 1 in Training.. Look it up! I have 22 people following me to hold me to my work outs, to hold me to a good diet and training regiment! What are you doing to keep your goals from becoming dreams?
