Well this is kind of a shallow answer and probably not what you are looking for, but one year ago I was not able to walk around at the pool and the beach without feeling like I needed to wear a coverup, and now I am able to walk around in my bikini without feeling self conscious. Honestly it took 2 years of working out and watching what I eat to get to this point, not one year.

Run 4+ miles!!!

I did my run this weekend, at 2pm, 85 & humid (after skiing in the morning). I felt like an iron woman. I was sweating like a fool and it was great. I'm a sick individual.

Seriously, I don't feel too bad (well now I'm feeling a bit big) when I go to the pool, but I wear a tankini so that helps....but no matter where I go, there is a ton, and I mean a ton, of people so overweight and really obese, it makes me feel like a supermodel. Some of the women wear bikini's too. EEWW! What is really sad is all the overweight children running around.

One year ago, I could not lift weights, I could not control my eating(m&ms for lunch, chips, Mcdonalds the whole list of horrible foods) and I could not runmore than 30seconds, walking fast made me breath hard!!!

Now I eat healthy (lean cuisine, fruit salad and greek yogurt for lunch), lift 8lbs weights and trying out the 10lbs and I can run 2+ minutes! and I can walk/run 2 miles!!!
