Celebrated my 31st birthday as a finisher

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 31. I had a wonderful day!

I went to work til around 2:30PM, then off to the pool with my sis and nephew, dinner on a restaurant's patio right by the riverside in the evening, and some good night's sleep in the night :o)

Yummy!



 

I'm pretty sure this year will be a wonderful and healthy year for me. Full of huge changes as well.

 

I am still smoke free. 15 days today! I'm really proud and I'm sure now I made it!

 

 

My First 5k run! 

 

But Saturday, June 15th, I did something, that makes me even prouder: I ran my first 5k run while it was around 85F and I finished it in 32 mins! It was one of the most amazing feelings EVER! I just did it, after working out hard for a while now. NO Couch to 5k App. Nothing. I was just constantly working on my fitness, by doing the Jillian Michaels workouts, going to the gym, riding my bike and changing my eating habits.

Losing some lbs is great. But the feeling I had runing the last few seconds towards the finish line, which was crowded by people and Samba bands and stuff: THIS was the best feeling and biggest reward! Oh and the little medal and certificate I got are neat as well ;o)

 

Sweaty, but HAPPY!
