Get Fit Challenge Finale and half marathon

I constantly need to be challenged. I signed up for a 3 month challenge with Stroller Strides to see who could loose the most body fat. At the beginning of the challenge I started at 26.2% bf. The guy who tested me said that was really low for having a 3 month old. Still I was determined to win. I was working out at least 10 hours a week. Getting up at 4am to get in a workout before Danny left to work. I have admit, my diet isn't the best. I eat really clean most of the time but I LOVE FOOD! I eat man sized portions. I will never be super tiny and I don't care because I'm not willing to give up what I love! When the challenge ended my bf was 19.6%  and I had lost 13 lbs. I was really happy with the change. Mostly my strength. I could only do one man push up when we started. Now I can hammer out a ton of push ups. I strive to be strong and lean, not skinny. Stroller Strides put on a big party to reveal the results. I ended up getting 3rd place.


Heading out to PARTY!

Prom 2011, a bunch of strong mamas
Our friend Tessa was kind enough to have us all over after dinner. Her backyard is my DREAM BACKYARD. Did you get that Danny?
pool, putting, tennis, basketball

multiple tv's, karaoke, almost a full kitchen, ping pong and foosball. If this was my house, we would be entertaining every weekend!





Then 2 days later I ran another half marathon (13.1 miles) . My second ever. I ran it in 2:12. That is 7 minutes faster than the last time I ran one.  

My sweet supporter

Done and ready for a beer

Loved my shirt. Pain is temporary...Pride is forever
The back...13.1 cause I'm only half crazy


 
I have to thank Danny for being the best supporter. He was so great for all the time I spend away working out and running. I love that he support my loves and interests! I will always support your dreams as much as you do mine babe!

I'm still so in awe of how great you did you totally worked you butt off! And third place is great esp for not having all kinds of crazy weight to lose.
