One Year... With Pics!

I started my journey on 10-8-11. It's been a struggle some days, but I am so proud of myself! I've learned a lot about who I am, who I don't want to be and more about who I want to be in the future!
I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome a few years ago and I learned why it had been so hard for me to lose weight before. My hormones were crazy out of whack!
I am a Christian and I've always struggled with being "beautifully and wonderfully made" because my body was never like I wished it was. But, I am learning that it is up to me to treat my body like a temple. And I really wasn't at all! I was eating my feelings. And I wasn't moving my body enough.
In the last 4 months I've been training for a half-marathon at the end of this month! The Chosen Marathon raises money for people who need financial assistance in adopting children. It is a wonderful organization. Check it out: www.chosenmarathon.com
In a year I've lost 43lbs... gone from a size 20 to 14 (could probably fit a 12 now)... lost inches... gained lots of muscle... and I've hit ONE-derland!!!
Thanks to all of my friends and family!!! You guys have been my inspiration and I can't wait to see what another year brings!
Here's my time line in pictures. Enjoy!
