Losing focus

For the past week I've been losing focus. I came home to visit and have only worked out once. I also haven't been counting calories. Today I popped on the Biggest Loser and kind of reminded myself what I'm doing. I don't have that much weight to lose compared to them, but I won't lose any weight if my focus isn't there. Hopefully I'll be getting some things for christmas that will help me towards my weight loss goal. This has been a wake up call for me.
Another big thing is living in denial. When you live in denial you think food is less calories than it actually is and that you can eat whatever you want and not gain weight. When you see clearly and strip away the lies, you can proceed to live a healthy life. That's what I hope to do.

Up and Down

I jogged 40 minutes again yesterday with a 30 second break halfway through. I really had to push myself, I wanted to give up so badly, but I didn't! I kept thinking about the people who read this and I want to show them how someone can put their mind to something and accomplish it.
I also weighed myself and I've lost about a pound. Which is great, but the number keeps going up and down between 178.2 and 177.6. It's like stuck or something! I need to break out of this somehow.
I don't know if I can run today because I stepped on something last night and now it's lodged in my foot. I can't get it out! I think it's a small piece of hard plastic. Ouch...

2 miles is nothin!

I can't believe it, but two miles is not hard for me anymore. I jogged it today and I was barely out of breath. The first time I jogged two miles, I was staggering afterwards and was pouring sweat. It's incredible how your endurance goes up! The only reasons I didn't do more were because the track was so crowded and I felt nauseous from the hot sauce that was in my lunch!

Oh no...

I overshot my calorie limit by hundreds yesterday...I am not happy with myself, especially since I put so much hard work into my workouts. I really have to be committed to this, and I feel like sometimes I'm not because I make such bad decisions. I need to figure out what's going on.

Great Endurance!!

I jogged 40 minutes today! Longest I've ever jogged! My endurance has skyrocketed since I started jogging for the second time.
I just want to say to those reading that I have never EVER been in shape in my life. I also have asthma, so don't think you can't do something just because you have limitations. I was thinking while I was jogging about that guy who has no arms or legs, just a little foot. He plays soccer! We shouldn't let something even debilitating deny us of the chance to have what we really desire.

Hmmmm....

So I weighed myself today and I GAINED back that half pound I lost. I'm so confused because I can really tell a difference in my body. Maybe I'm just gaining muscle? Also, someone told me that since I don't have alot to lose it will come off slowly. I want to lose about 35-40 pounds, but I guess that's nothing compared to those on the Biggest Loser. I guess that's why I've been disappointed with the scale. It's just not reflecting the work I'm putting in.
Another thing is that when I exercise, myFitnessPal gives me more calories to eat. Maybe I would do better by ignoring that and sticking to my regular calorie limit.

5K, baby!!

I jogged three miles today!!! That's a 5K! I can't believe I did that. I've been jogging 2.5 miles for a little while and today I just decided that I would push myself beyond what I was comfortable with. And I did it in 38 minutes, which was only two minutes longer than the pace I usually jog. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
