One Step at a Time

In December, I began a journey to help me out of my depression. Specifically, I made it a goal to live a healthier lifestyle. Running was a new challenge, one that came with a lot of struggle but also with a lot of feelings of self accomplishment. I used an interval training app to get started, running 10 seconds and walking 50 seconds every minute, for a total of thirty minutes. I slowly increased the amount of running and I'm proud to say that I'm running more than walking now. This is, in large part, due to Remy's motivation when the buzzer in the app prompts us to start the running interval. He won't let me skip it!  Running is still not "fun" but the challenge has been good. My weight has also benefitted and I've lost more than twenty pounds so far!

This first photo was taken about two months after starting my journey and officially marked my "one step at a time" photo series. Every walk and run was captured in a selfie as a personal motivator and to help with accountability!
