Tom Keeps Trying

@ Shortmom— Thank you for all your support. It has been no secret that the last year has been rough for me or that I basically gave up on myself. I can literally name a small handful of Tumblrs that have believed in/supported me all along. Especially when I failed to believe in myself.

Thank you all. I am so tired and sore and queasy so I am going to take a nap. I wish you all a fantastic day.

Today I found the strength to do something I did not believe I could do. Much of that strength came from knowing that if I posted mileage signs, Tumblr would notice and root for me to do that which I believed I could not. Even for a walk, 13.1 is rough. My prior longest distance was 7 miles. Thus, every step after mile 7 was the longest I have ever traveled by foot.

About

I woke up one day and realized I did not like how my life was going. So I wrote about it and posted it on Facebook. I started to change my life, my diet, my activity, my interactions with others and my attitude. Since then, I have lost 25 pounds and I have turned 30 years old. I am now training for my first half marathon and I have partnered with Team in Training to do so! I joined tumblr after reading Ben Does Life.

SW 1/1/11 285 pounds
