Health and Fitness Journey

As I've mentioned before, the beau and I have been training for a half-marathon in April.  We had originally been training for the Country Music Marathon in Nashville on April 27, but after many seasoned runners warned us about the hills and difficulty of that race, we decided to change directions.  We have decided to run in Hattiesburg Clinic's second annual Rise and Shine half-marathon and 5k on April 6th.  This has pushed our schedule up a bit, and I'm nervous and excited for race day to finally be here!

In addition to pushing ourselves a little harder in race training, I have begun a rigorous weight training and clean eating program, too.  I'm absolutely loving it.  It's fitness model, Jamie Eason's, LiveFit program, and it is NOT easy.  I love how it challenges me, though.  Maybe I'll post some progress pictures, soon.

That being said, I recently started following Ashlee Hendry Fitness on Facebook and Instagram.  She is such an inspiration going from 205 pounds to 133.  Ashlee started her weight loss and health journey with Jamie Eason's program as well.  She is also a single mother to the cutest little boy and second year med student, and I just realized, she's located right here in Hattiesburg! How cool is that?  Ashlee has a HUGE following and will be competing in an NPC Bikini Competition in 18 weeks.  Her progress photos and updates have really been keeping me motivated.  Check her out, y'all!

There are so many exciting things happening right now in my life, and I'm so blessed to be able to share it with all of y'all.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of the love and support all of my readers constantly provide.  Y'all are the best!
