Little Healthy Competition

So, after the birth of my third child, I realized that it had been almost 18 months since I ran consistently... With each pregnancy, loss and finally the birth of my son, the pounds crept up. Little by little the foundational principles of eating and exercising began to fade until during this pregancy, I gained a whapping 45 pounds!!

When my sister invited my to join her in a 6 weeks game called Little Healthy Competition, I said yes. Not because I felt like it but because I knew I needed to get moving back toward a more active life.

My goals: lose 10 lbs and run 5 miles.

Now, we are about a week into it, the biggest challenge of all has come. My sister, a co-founder of LHC asked me to share my testimony of MY healthy journey....including pictures. Of course I could not refuse. How could I? Having been on both sides of the health scale, I could not refuse to offer encouragement to others. So.... as they are posted, my blog will be added here also.

ENJOY!!
