It's My Atkinsversary!!! 8/12/09

One year ago, I started a low-carb way of eating. I've lost 25 pounds. I started exercising by simply walking on my lunch hour. I later added in hand weights. I've never been athletic in my life, not even in high school. Started the Couch to 5K program on January 7 and ran my first 5K on March 7. This is what sparked a love of fitness! I never truly "enjoyed" exercise prior to Couch to 5K, but rather simply endured it. I then ran two more 5Ks. When my chiropractor mentioned that he did a Triathlon, then told me about the distances his wife was going to do, I thought, "Wow, those are distances I could do too! And I WILL!" I did my first Triathlon a few days ago and am hooked for more. I feel incredibly awesome. It's all good, and I'm lovin it!!!
