Accomplished a HUGE goal. 5k race

Since my journey began in September 2014 I set a goal to run a 5k. I accomplished that goal yesterday. Finishing the 5k in 26 minutes. I began my journey at 222 pounds. post-232531-14596912075966_thumb.jpgpounds.

      Yep you can walk them! Of course serious 5Kers do run, but not this girl. I do walk fast and keep to the right of traffic. Not sure where you live, but here in Houston there is a group called Houston

    That is awesome! Great time too! I still remember how awesome it felt completing my first 5k. I've done lots of races since then, inluding much longer ones, but there was NOTHING like the feeling of completing that first 5k and realizing you were capable of doing more than you ever thought. Congratulations to you!

    I was #Sleeved on 3/1 (now down 25lbs ????) and I started training for an upcoming 5k (May 21) on Monday (4/4) per the Dr approval. I'm in soft foods stage until Tuesday (4/12) however, as you can imagine I'm hungrier because I'm back to working out. I'm concerned that this will stall and I won't lose, so I made an appointment with my nutritionist for Tuesday (4/12). How have you dealt with this? Being a sleever and runner? How many daily calories are "leftover" at the end of the day minus your workout?

    I do 5K's once a month as that was one of my resolutions for 2016; however I don't run! But awesome that you do that though.
