YES!.....

I finally managed to run 2 miles today! I felt so good when I started running and I just kept going and before I knew it I was at 2.16 miles! Amazing....Im so excited. If I can just maintain that for a couple of weeks that would be awesome and then I can work on getting up to 3 miles which is my goal. It would feel so great to be able to run 3 miles a day........awesome!

What Can I Say....

but the same thing again....no weight lost this week. I do however feel like I am regaining a handle on my eating. Slowly. Just eating better one day has helped to spark the desire to keep it going so hopefully I cant get back on the wagon....or off the wagon however the saying goes. I am still running everyday however I am stuck at a mile and a half. Mentally I just quit at that point. Any suggestions as to how I can push past that? I have decided to enter a 5k race that runs 3 weeks earlier than the original 5k I was going to do. Crazy? Maybe. But Im hoping it will push me to work harder during my runs because I know that it is all mental. I figure that I can run the first half of the 5k no problem....the 2nd half I will probably have to stop a couple of times to re-group but Im OK with that. I just want to finish having run as much of it as I can, oh, and I dont want to be last.. ha ha. I think it will be fun and really motivate me to work harder at running better. I might even run a 10k next summer.....maybe :)

At The Gym....

So this morning I met with a trainer at 24 hr fitness. She was really great and helped me organize my thoughts about my goals. We talked about nutrition which is my biggest hurdle. The working out part has caught a hold of me and I enjoy it now. If I miss it I feel crappy. My biggest hurdle right now is food. The past few weeks I have done less than stellar in the healthy eating department. So, what I am doing is running my butt off just to maintain my weight and that is no good. Ive got to get a hold of my food intake. If I were eating right, I would have lost so much more weight by now. It is so frustrating. I wish I had a personal chef to make meals for me so I would have to think about it. Anyway, my weight loss for September is pathetic....only 1 pound! for the whole month! It should have been at least 7 so I need to get on the ball......
