Went and ran this morning. Felt so good. I am running faster (4.5 today) but I still am not running as long. That is frustrating for me. I want to be able to run a 5K without stopping but currently there is just no way without me walking some. So I keep pushing on. Eventually it will click.

I am going to create a more “structured” plan for working out in the fall. I am going to actually plan things and put some thought into what my goals are for my body and my health. Right now, everything is really loose. Basically I get myself to the gym four times a week for some sort of cardio. I take a yoga class. And I run at least 2 of those times. I also do strength training on my arms and abs two times a week. But now I want to focus a bit more microscopically. I need to understand what muscles are doing what and prioritize what I want to see.

I’ve lost ten pounds since February. It’s a little frustrating actually because I can’t really see a difference in my appearance. How am I supposed to feel good about what I am doing if I can’t see the difference? This is a reoccurring problem with me. I can’t see myself fat when I put on 20 pounds and I can’t see myself thinner when I lose 20 pounds.
