First Time Triathlete: My Matty

My husband had his first triathlon this past weekend. I was beyond excited (and a little nervous) for him. I’ve blogged about my husband’s weightloss journey before… 2 years ago he committed to losing 50 pounds. That 50 pounds turned into losing 70 pounds. He completely transformed himself. I was beyond (beyond) happy and proud and impressed. He did it all by changing his eating habits and working out. That was it. No “quick fix.” He really put in the blood, sweat and tears… and did it. It wasn’t easy.

This was him in July of 2004…

Now fast forward to today (and 4 sons later!)… I couldn’t have been more proud to hear his name announced as he crossed the finish line!
