As you can see, I was so damn close to breaking into the 140s. I don't know when I'll get there or when I'll reach goal (soon, I hope) but I know it will happen because I'm not giving up, no matter what.
Jen has been inspiring me for years as she has taken us along on her healthiness journey and she continues to inspire me every single day through all of her ups and downs. In her recent email to the challengers she wrote "You cannot give up. Push hard, end with a bang and give it all you have. There are no winners or losers in this challenge - this is about you pushing yourself beyond what you think you can do."
Have you been giving it all you got? Have you been pushing yourself beyond what you think you can do? Have you been steppin' it up? If not, why not? You are worth it. Get moving and Step It Up!

Holy crap woman you are putting the rest of us to shame!!! :) Delighted you are doing so well. You sound so full of energy, vitality and positivity. It's inspiring. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteDo you realize 65 miles is the equivalent of 2.5 marathons? You just did 2.5 marathons in over the past two weeks. Now THAT is something to be proud of!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You'll see the 140s before you know it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! You really are killing it with the steps.
ReplyDeleteYou SHOULD be proud of those numbers. I have NOT been stepping it up so I am actually starting a challenge at the beginning of June. Details on the diet blog coming soon. You are doing awesome, seriously! :-)
