5 years and counting

I can’t believe that 5 years has come and gone already in my weight loss journey.  It some aspects it seems like I started this journey just yesterday and in other aspects it seems like it’s been going for forever.

Looking back, I never imagined how much my life would change over just 5 years, but I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 5 amazing years than running one amazing triathlon, for one great cause, all while being supported by some of the most amazing friends in my life. 

It’s funny this picture I think puts it perfectly how the past 5 years of my life have played out, I’ve been held up by so many people over the years, and I couldn’t have done it without all of them.  I am ever so greatful for how good God has been to me, how richly blessed he has blessed my life with family and friends to run one amazing life changing race with.

A lot has changed in 5 years..

I’ve lost a 115 pounds! Craziness! That is like an entire person.
I am eight sizes smaller than where I started.
I’ve grown to know God on a deeper level than I ever thought I could because I couldn’t have gotten here without him.
I’ve ran 7 5K’s, 7 Sprint Tri’s and 2 Olympics!
 
God is so good, I am ever so thankful, he won my heart over 6 years ago, and uber thankful for his constant and faithful grace to run the race he has for me daily even when I don’t neccessarly feel like it.  I am thankful for his little nudges and reminders to run towards what he has for me, and not what this earth tells me what I need, I am soo thankful for his truth in all of it. I am thankful for how he has faithfully lead me over the past 5 years and I am excited to see where he will continue to lead in the next 5, it’s one amazing race I am looking forward to!
