My Support Team!

So after the Boston Marathon and all its glorious wonders my awesome family took me out to dinner!!!

I promised I would share pictures in my last post :)

It got me thinking about my journey so far, the entire last 2 years and how much they mean to me.

This little girl is the one who made me open my eyes to everything that I was doing wrong (health wise) in my life.

 She makes me strong. I fight for her. If anyone had told me 3 years ago while I was waddling around waiting to give birth to her that I would be so inspired by the love for her to go out and lose 120 pounds and start running, I would have called them crazy. But looking at that baby so long ago, I realized something, that I wanted to be the best Mom for her and to do that, I had to get healthy and make better choices. Because taking 7 medications a day and being morbidly obese was not the way to ensure I would be there for every single one of her milestones :)

Now she gets excited when I go to run. She encourages me even. And She loves those shiny medals :)

What party would be complete without gluten and dairy free cupcakes? ;)

I feel so blessed. I have a wonderful support team behind me and I am so grateful for all of them!!!!!!!!!!

Without them I know I would not be as strong and it would be hard to be a fighter. If ever there is a day when I think about quitting I just think about them and remember they will be waiting for me at the finish line, or for that phone call, hearing how I finished the race and finished strong. I never want to let them down :)
