Proud of my kids, proud of my husband. But never proud of myself. Until I jogged a 5k last weekend.

I was dead last. But I didn't care. I jog/limped. But I didn't care.

The arthritis in my knee ached ever step. But I finished!! I did it.

I haven't been very successful with my band like so many have. Not proud of that. But a wonderful banderentioned couch to 5k app. and I tried it one day, then another then another. I completed the 27

day program and ran a race.

Maybe someday I'll know what slim feels like....

What a great feeling! Savor it, hold on to it, and I'm sure you will find it seeping into every area of your life! I've never done a 5k, 1k for that matter, I am totally in awe of you! Xx

Congrats!!!

Your should journal this victory, pull it out every so often, and read in your own words how hard you worked but more importantly how rewarding it felt!

You should be proud of yourself. Congratulations!

Victories come in all different ways. I am doing well with weight loss but I cannot run for the life of me...the arthritis is way too severe for that. I can't wait until I can do even a tenth of what you accomplished so be proud of yourself, you earned it!

Way to go!! You should be proud!

Thank you all very much for sharing my joy with me.

Well done. I have never jogged a 5km , I can walk it easily but jog or run - no way!

Congrats!!!I am like elcee, never jogged 5 k, even after 3 1/2 years of lapband and exercising!

Wow that's great- I have been looking for an app like that... I'm going to try it! Thanks!

Give it a try ricksgal, you just might like it. Good luck.

And to elcee and kll, Never say never!! : ) you just might give it a try.

You F****ing did it!!! YOU ROCK! That is success! and that makes you a success!

And yes you will know what slim feels like.....if you want it (I think you do).

You go girl!

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself!

That is awesome! That is a personal victory I hope to accomplish someday. I walk with a cane so I can't run but I've walked half of a 5k walk/run. As I lose more weight as slow as it may be I hope to walk a little further.

Keep up the good work!

Dawalsh, I thiink people with canes have character. Use it and go as far as you can go! Good luck to you. : )
