what you know about me?

I thought it's time for something new.

So today I'm linking up with Allyce over at Chalk in the Rain!!

Hop on over there and say "what's up!!"

She's pretty awesome.

Also,

I've decided to do this as

What You Didn't Know: Health.

So here are 4 things you probably didn't know about me and my health.

Hope you enjoy!!

1. I officially love running and all things cardio.

When I started this journey I literally had a hard time running for a minute at a time.

It was completely ridiculous.

I wanted to be a runner but obviously I was completely out of shape.

But now here I am today ready to run a 5k no problem!!

I'm still not a runner like I want to be...

I want to eventually run 10ks and a half marathon...

but I've come a long way and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!!

This one made me giggle...

((Check out my pinterest page for more fitness inspiration))

I feel so much better after getting some cardio in every day!!

2. I've become so much more adventurous with what foods I eat.

I NEVER would have EVER tried zucchini or squash.

I NEVER would have voluntarily eaten fish.

I NEVER would have tried a new recipe.

I have always been a very picky eater.

Always loved most "staple" vegetable, but refused to try the other "icky" stuff.

((Maybe that's why I got as big as I did))

But now I LOVE squash and zucchini!!!

I browse through pinterest and see all these delicious recipes that I want to try.

I actually WANT to try sushi...

I'm still scared... but I want to try it!!

3. I dream about having that gap between my legs.

You know... the "inner thigh gap".

I've never had it...

not even when I was skinny.

Which makes me feel like maybe my body just isn't made to ever have that.

But I want it.

And I'm ready to kill my thighs to build up muscle, burn fat, and get closer to having that gap.

I've always had "thunder thighs" but I refuse to let that define me and stop me from reaching my goal.

I try to do this workout a couple times a week.

Holy crap-ola does it work your inner thighs too!!

4. I have huge calves.

It sucks.

They went down about an inch while I was doing Insanity last summer.

But nothing since then.

Most frustrating part?

I can't wear boots.

I have one pair of boots, but they aren't very tall.  They stop before my calf.

My dream?

To wear some boots like these:

And an outfit like this:

So if you have any tips to help me get those boots.. please share!!

I feel like I've been cursed between my "thunder thighs" and huge calves!!

--------------

So now you know me a little bit better.

:)

Hope you still like me...

Now jump on over to Chalk in the Rain and give Allyce a shout out.

Maybe spend a little time getting to know her as well.

You won't regret it!!

Happy Tuesday y'alls!!
