During my senior year of undergrad I got I got tired of being overweight and decided to finally make a change mainly for health reasons. During that first year I lost a good amount of weight by changing completely how I ate going from soda and junk food to lots of whole grains, lean meats and fruits and vegetables. Also going to the gym became a staple of my daily routine. At my highest weight I was 267 lbs and got in down to 182 lbs through a lot of hard work and determination.
Since starting grad school, I’ve had my up’s and downs going from the 180-190’s up to the 220’s and all the way in between. I’m rededicating myself to healthy eating and I will look great when I walk across the stage for graduation from grad school sometime in 2013 hopefully. The one bonus since grad school is that I’ve become a long distance runner. Since 2009, I have run numerous 5k’s, 10ks, 8 Half Marathons and 7 Full Marathons and a 50 Miler. I never would have thought I would have been able to do this, but I’ve learned this journey is not a sprint it’s a marathon.
