12 races, 1 year

Awesome beyond awesome update!

I have good news related to running/weight loss as well as not. 

First: I’m a music therapist!! I have been dreaming of this day since I was a sophomore in high school. I went to college to become a music therapist, I completed a 7 month music therapy internship and finally passed the board certification test! I’m so beyond thrilled! 

Second: Since June I have lost 14 pounds!!! June is when I realized I really needed to start watching my weight but then I travelled to the UK and then moved back to Boston from Chicago, and it was just a stressful time. So since October I’ve been counting calories and working out almost every day. Thanksgiving was a bit of a stumble but I recovered! I need to lose 15 more pounds to be considered at a healthy weight according to BMI but I’d really like to lose 25 pounds (it’s still in the healthy range). I also just signed up for an unlimited month at a yoga place near me so that will start after the holidays to add some variety to my workouts. For now, I’m gonna keep counting calories and running!

In my 12 races in a year, I have 3 completed and the next one in about 2 weeks. It’s a 5k in Cambridge. Can’t wait!
