PROGRESS

A couple of cool things today.
A while ago I was watching The Biggest Loser and they were all jumping up onto something. I realized that I can't jump. My legs want to do it, and my head wants to do it, but the middle part of my body doesn't move. But today I was able to jump up one step.
Second, when I started this whole thing I couldn't do lunges. My ankles, knees, and hips just wouldn't move the right way. Well today I was able to do them.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it really bothered me that I was not able to do these things. It is good to see progress in these areas.

SORE KNEES

Lifted weights today and boy could I feel it from yesterday. I have many sore muscles. I didn't think I had gotten that out of shape. Even yesterday when I was lifting it didn't feel like I was going to be sore. Boy was I wrong.
I did my mile in 14:48 today. I am improving, but I did have to ice my knees today. Hopefully I am not dying tomorrow.

LOST 1.4 LBS. TOTAL OF 34.8 LBS

I weighed myself and I lost 1.4 lbs. I feel pretty good about this. I have now lost 34.8 lbs.
I changed thing up a bit at the gym today. I did weights, which I haven't done in a while, biked, and ran. I ran one mile in 15:07. I feel great about this. Monday it took me 16:42. My daughter can do the mile in 10 minutes. This is my goal. I am hoping that I can do it soon. I know I can do it, just not sure when.

DON'T GIVE UP

My niece wrote and told me not to give up. She is right. I need to keep going. I need to write down what i am eating. I seem to do better when I am doing that. Matter of fact today is weight in day and I totally forgot.
I need to always be cautious and aware of what I am eating and I need to step it up.

FOCUS

I feel like I keep telling myself "tomorrow is the day I am going to get rededicated". I need to just do it. This has been the most unproductive month on my weight loss and I know it is my fault. I need to stay away from junk food. I need to focus. This is my goal.

I NEED A NEW DAY

Today's workout was real hard. It seemed to last forever. I really had to struggle today to do it. It wasn't the going to the gym part. It was the staying part.
I also really have struggled with not going and getting a pizza and eating the whole thing. I guess all in all, it has been a rough day. I can't wait for tomorrow to start. I need a new day!

BROCCOLI

I realized today that that awful stink I was smelling isn't me! It is the sanitizing spray that I use to clean off the machine that I am using. I have been noticing that my hands really stink even when I first work out. Today I was able to place the smell. I know that I still stink, but I am so grateful that it isn't THAT smell.
I went to lunch with a friend of mine today and I kinda blew my diet. I need to be better when I go out and eat. I am a pretty picky eater so it is easy to order the "normal" things. But fries are not a good idea for me. I did order broccoli today and that was good. I really love broccoli and I love that it is healthy for me.
