Then and now.

Today was a really busy day. I woke up early and went running. While I was running, my dad brought Jonah over to the park to play. I ran two miles and then sat and watched him play on the playground there. Jonah and I walked home and we decided on the way home that it was such a nice day, that we should go hiking. When we got home, I asked my dad if he would go with us. He agreed and said he knew a great place to go.

We went to antelope island and did a little hike. It was really fun until the way back. It was breezy and nice and I was happy that there were no bugs (the biting gnats didn't come until the way back)






It was a really fun and active day though. I had such a fun time with my kids. It made me kind of sad. I realized how much I've missed out on being fat.

I was so tired before that I couldn't do anything. I fell asleep just sitting in a chair.

I am SO thankful to have the new life that I have. I sleep less, I have so much more energy then I ever imagined possible and I have a fun life where I can do the fun things that I've wanted to my whole chubby life.

Things have gotten so much easier. I can walk, run or even dance more than 4 or 5 steps without being out of breath. I can fit in a seat in an airplane or movie theaters, finding a bathroom stall big enough is no problem. I don't have anxiety about going to an amusement park and not having the seat belt fit. It sounds weird, but really, things are so much easier.
