Slacking.

I've been slacking on the blogging.. and I appologize for that. Well this is mainly just an appology to myself since I only have a few readers. Anyway who reads it doesn't matter, this is more for myself to be able to look back on.

On Friday I did my first 25 minute run. I won't lie. It was hard. I threw the towl over the time display and went for it. I got through the run, but really felt it! By then end my knees were actually aching, and this is a first in all of the running I've done.

Yesturday I went again. Since this is the week of Christmas I am trying to squeeze in my runs. I have a feeling I won't be able to do my last run until Saturday. Anyway, I did my 25 minute run and this time it was easier. Don't get me wrong, I don't compare with with a leisurely stroll in the park. But it was definately easier. This is encouraging.

On the weight front. I kind of wished I hadn't payed attention to it, because now I feel myself obsessing again. I think I need to put the scale away where it is not accessible. Last week I didn't lose any weight and I felt dissapointed. I am only 9 pounds away from being within target range for BMI... And that is all I've been thinking about. I have to believe though that the weight will come as a result of the healthy lifestyle. And for crying out loud, its CHRISTMAS! I am going to eat and enjoy the goodies! So no, the weight loss may not be happening... but I also havent gained any weight.. so I guess its an even keel. There now you see the obessing first hand.. tonight I put the scale away and don't look at it again for a while. Maybe once a month...
