Weigh-In Wednesday #52 – 147.8
How do you measure a year?
A lot has happened to me in the past 365 days. Mostly good, very little bad. Here is a small sampling:
1. I started The Jen West Quest exactly one year ago today! :D
2. I finished my first Half Ironman last April.
3. I lost over 45 pounds!!
4. I was featured on the Rachael Ray Show for my weight-loss success & blog.
5. I was featured in Health Magazine’s “I Did It!” Spotlight.
6. I was a Birmingham Bombshell.
7. I made new running besties. :)
8. My wonderful husband and I decided to split up, but remain friends.
9. I injured my knee and was unable to finish what would have been my first marathon.
10. I am temporarily living with my parents until our lease is up in August. :D
11. I have grown & prospered in my 9 to 5 job.
12. I blew my previous 10k PR (personal record) out of the water.
13. I have become both mentally and physically stronger.
14. I appreciate food as nourishment for my body, not as an emotional filler.
15. I am a much more confident person.
16. I turned 32. :)
17. I met or exceeded all of the expectations for myself.
In honor of this special day, my boss surprised me with a new haircut at my favorite salon in 5 Points South (Peter @ Orbit). I go today over my lunch break for my new ‘do. Thank you Andrea!!!! I love you so much. :) I will post a photo later on Twitter to show you guys what it looks like.
Thanks to all of you for surrounding me in love, on both the good days and the bad. I can’t wait to share the next 365 with you!
