IMG_5199When Travis got sick.  I started losing weight.  I wasn’t even trying.  I’ve always had a hard time losing weight.  I’ve noticed that when I am sad.  I don’t want to eat.  Stress makes my stomach upset.  I even stopped going to Weight Watchers.  Now that it has been two months since Travis died, the weight is coming back.

So this week I thought this is dumb to just sit around.  Travis wouldn’t want me to just sit around.  On Monday I decided to go for a run.  I started my Couch to 5K app over.  The run felt so good!  I decided to go back to Weight Watchers.  This is the new me! My mind and body feel so much better.

I am on day three!  Yesterday, Chloe and I went for a walk, but I drank too much coffee.  We were gone for 20 minutes, before heading back to the house.  Today was my second run.  Everyday it gets a little easier.  I’m going to run 3 times a week.  Maybe I can get my soccer star daughter to run with me on Friday morning.  She will leave me in the dust!

This is my new healthy life!  I think Travis would be proud.
