Stepping out of the comfort zone......Global Sports Bra Squad

6/24/2017- Global Sports Bra Squad Day.  This day was started by AMAZING blogger and runner of Run, Selfie, Repeat Kelly Roberts
The point is to step out of our comfort zones to show our inner beauty, our strength, and to have a good self body image.
This was so incredibly hard for me! I have NEVER EVER had a good self body image.  This is something I try to instill in Elena and my girl scouts.  I can not believe that I stepped out in public in a sports bra where I can be seen by all of Greenville, people that I work with frequently that could be passing by, and even strangers!!  As hard as I was, I learned that I am me, I have so much to be proud of in how far I have come since October! Does this mean that you will always catching me run in a sports bra, weeeeeeellllllllll NO! But, there is something of a confidence booster to just have taken that step!
As I move closer to my 10K next week in my most favorite city, I am building my self confidence, and excitement.  I don't have to be the first to cross the finish line-as long as I finish.
Thanks to everyone, especially my little sis Sara that encouraged me, support me, and to those that got out in their sports bras to show the world that WE ALL ROCK!!!

Starting Line

49- what this number means to me? Nothing! My journey for becoming a better me started on 10/11/16, 170 days ago, I decided that the number didn't matter! But what numbers did matter? What mattered was that I overcame my need for supplemental oxygen while running longer then 1min, going down 5 jean sizes, running my first 5k, all 3 miles under 12 min! Running my greatest distance at 7.1 miles on 3/19/17 and not needing CPR! Signing up for a half marathon of 13.1 miles in 11/17! Numbers are literally everywhere!!!! What did I gain that has nothing to do with numbers? Self esteem, confidence, and not avoiding every mirror in the free world!!! I am proud of my accomplishment! I am shy when people point it out, but most of all feel AMAZING! So, long story short 49 is the number of pounds I have lost since my last documented weight on 11/3/16! Never stepped on the scale after that date until yesterday! This number means NOTHING!!!! I don't care what it says! The proof is inside me!!!! My 40th bday Vegas trip was my first goal and here we are! I'm ready to rock some awesome outfits and party like I'm 21! Thanks to everyone that has supported, encouraged, or commented on my hard work! It truly kept me going and to continue going! I'm not done yet!
