So this is what self pride feels like

[Quahog 134]

Proud of my kids, proud of my husband. But never proud of myself. Until I jogged a 5k last weekend.

I was dead last. But I didn't care. I jog/limped. But I didn't care.

The arthritis in my knee ached ever step. But I finished!! I did it.

I haven't been very successful with my band like so many have. Not proud of that. But a wonderful banderentioned couch to 5k app. and I tried it one day, then another then another. I completed the 27

day program and ran a race.

Maybe someday I'll know what slim feels like....

What a great feeling! Savor it, hold on to it, and I'm sure you will find it seeping into every area of your life! I've never done a 5k, 1k for that matter, I am totally in awe of you! Xx

Congrats!!!

Your should journal this victory, pull it out every so often, and read in your own words how hard you worked but more importantly how rewarding it felt!

You should be proud of yourself. Congratulations!

Victories come in all different ways. I am doing well with weight loss but I cannot run for the life of me...the arthritis is way too severe for that. I can't wait until I can do even a tenth of what you accomplished so be proud of yourself, you earned it!

Way to go!! You should be proud!

[Quahog 134]

Thank you all very much for sharing my joy with me.

Well done. I have never jogged a 5km , I can walk it easily but jog or run - no way!

Congrats!!!I am like elcee, never jogged 5 k, even after 3 1/2 years of lapband and exercising!

[Quahog 134]

That is awesome! That is a personal victory I hope to accomplish someday. I walk with a cane so I can't run but I've walked half of a 5k walk/run. As I lose more weight as slow as it may be I hope to walk a little further.

Keep up the good work!
