Today's Deep Thoughts with Fitness Cheerleader is:
How have you changed in the past 2 years?
2 years ago puts us in 2010....what I truly believe was my most transforming year of my life. Just about every aspect of my life changed that year and now looking back over it from this side, it never ceases to amaze me how AWESOME God is even in the storms of life!
I began the year looking like this....
And ended the year like this....
I logged my first every 1,111 miles with Tall Mom's challenge, lost 20lbs, went down 2 jean sizes, and gained an entirely new confidence in what my body could do! We began the year living on our house just outside of Boston where we had lived and worked for 10 years, and ended the year 2 hours away living on Cape Cod with brand new jobs in a brand new place....and as scary as this choice was, God said go and I can't tell you how happy I am that we listened!!! In the past 2 years I have learned how to be a mom, a better wife, and a better friend! As a runner, I began the year struggling to finish a 5k in 28 minutes and finished the year with a PR of 23 and change and a sub 2 hour half marathon! Thank you Janice for making me look back over the last 2 years! I always say you can tell how far you've come until you remember where you've been!!
How have you changed in the past 2 years???
Congratulations on a great year, Nancy! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It's awesome to reflect and see how far you've come. Probably my most dramatic improvement came in the form of finally finding a company to work for that was a good fit - not just the job itself, but the whole culture. It's made a world of difference!
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of changes and all for the better. So many amazing things happen when we take the time to listen to God:) Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Im doing the blogging challenge as well and I love reading other people Posts! Congrats on your fitness journey!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress with your running and the weight loss! I think in the last two years I haven't really had any huge major changes. At least none I can think of.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! All of your accomplishments are wonderful and it's so awesome to hear your enthusiasm in your words. Your 5K PR is so impressive! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Love it! What fun to look back AND to look ahead! Last 2 yrs...our friendship has grown, I turned 50 and still feel young (somewhat), learned to let go of some things and say it's not important, and I continue to move and challenge myself (physically and mentally).
ReplyDeleteSo many changes for you. And so positive too. I hope the next 2 years are just as wonderful for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have changed a lot! I am so glad that that the last two years have been so positive for you!
