I am a Korean adoptee who just turned 24! I grew up in central Minnesota and I currently live in the suburbs of Chicago. I live with my boyfriend of almost 4 1/2 years and my adorable hammy named Kimchi!
As far as my health goes, I was always pretty chubby growing up and in high school, I dealt with some difficult eating issues, which led my weight to go up and down and every which way. In 2010, I found Medifast, a low-carb program. I followed the plan and lost a lot of weight. However, I almost immediately went back to my carbalicious ways and soon gained the weight back. Then, in August 2011, I recommitted to the plan and aside from a few slip-ups, I've been dedicated to getting healthy- NOT skinny. With the simplicity of Medifast, I was able to focus on my life and NOT food, and have been able to heal and grow in other aspects of my life- and that is absolutely invaluable. I am finally learning how to balance food + exercise + life- something I never thought I'd be able to do!
Along with transition, I also started the INSANITY workout program. I was inspired by my boyfriend, as he started at the beginning of March and has already had incredible results. It's definitely INSANE- but I love waking up in the morning and accomplishing something within the first hour. It feel wonderful afterwards and I'm definitely awake and ready to face the day!
I look forwards to a long and healthy life! I am scheduled to run my next 5k on May 12th! Then in June, we are doing the Warrior Dash on the 17th. I am incredibly excited for August, because I'm going back to Minnesota and seeing family & friends, as well as completing another 5k w/some of my closest friends!
