Hi😀 I'm a full-time RN who loves to spend my time off riding my motorcycle and being with family and friends. In 2012 I topped out at 210 lbs, that was my slap in the face. My mother had just gotten gastric bypass done and she only weighed 15 lbs more than me. I was a heart RN telling patients to exercise, lose weight and eat right..yet I did none of those things...I was a hypocrite! I HATED the way I looked, felt and was living. So I decided it was time to change. I started changing the way I ate and trying to exercise more...then in 2013 a group of nurses were going to run a 5K that summer and I said I'd do it too. I'd NEVER ran a race before 😯 I thought...Lord help me...but I did the couch to 5K app on my phone..and 6 months later I ran that 5K in a tu-tu 😀...and over time I had lost 52 lbs. However this January I made a big move to another town and job, so running got pushed aside for awhile. I gained 15 lbs back...it's time to get back on track. I've signed up for another 5K in July...I plan on continuing my running for good, I always feel better when I do.
