Half Marathon!

Cammie, Scootch, and me doing our annual grape faces!

We ran the Music City Half Marathon this weekend in memory of Whitney Nelson. It was an incredible experience! I got my best time ever, 2 hours 11 minutes! I ran with Cammie and Blake, and it was an amazing experience! GO UPHILLS!

Diet: I have actually changed my diet plan. Before, I was eating what I wanted while eliminating fried foods and sweets. Now, I still eliminate those two but I keep to a low-fat, low salt food plan. I think it's really helping me lose the weight. My daily diet is something like this:

Breakfast: 1 packet of oatmeal with maple and brown sugar, a ham/cheese omlet made with Egg Beaters, and a banana

AM Snack: Light Yoplait

Lunch: 2 whole weat tortillas with ham, lettuce, and light mayo, and a boiled egg

PM Snack: Pretzels

Dinner: Chicken breast with low fat sour cream and salsa, brown rice, and broccoli

Night Snack: Grapes

I cannot go without mentioning how much Heavenly Father has helped me, as well. Today I fit into my white shorts that I bought at the very beginning of my pregnancy. I bought them a little loose for comfort, but today I fit back into them! I have been praying so much for help and I know that God cares for me. I am so grateful to Him.

So I have been working out for 6 weeks now! It has been awesome, and I am officially addicted. This week I got a "Fitness Profile" done to see how I am so I can compare these results later! It was on a rating of "Needs Work, Fair, Fit, and Excellent."

Body Fat: 18.9%, Excellent Condition
Biceps Strength: 54 lbs, Excellent Condition
Back Flexibility: 54 cm, Fit Condition
