Well after a tough week of ups and downs, I havent quit yet! I've been hitting the treadmill consistently and running on it too! I'm keeping it at a mile which has been the right move! Instead of getting bored running a long time I'm challenging myself on speed! I'm getting faster but still at about the 9:30/mile mark! The big difference is, it's easier! My weight hasnt moved but then again my eating hasnt been the best either!
I'm still trying to make it through the motivation gaps! Thats probably the toughest part! I actually enjoy working out and the feeling afterwards! Its just getting out to the gym that is the hard part for me!

Ugh
I want to give up already and I just started! I've hit the first plateau of many and its wearing me like a cheap suit! I printed one of my old pictures as a motivator, its helped but man this is tough! This is usually the point in all my past start ups where I have given up or slacked and failed!
Not this time! No matter how much I want to quit now... I'm not going! Not today!

Blood, Sweat and Tuna
I'm still at it... I know, I know, its only been about a week but I did jump a pretty big hurdle today! I was on the verge of talking myself out of working out today! I was literally about to say screw it, "I can skip today! Besides, I'm still sore from...." I had to stop my thinking right there! That's the problem with starting out. Breaking away from whats easy! Its crazy because the end result, looking and feeling better should be all the motivation that's needed! But its so easy to forget what that feels like! Its so easy to forget about the benefits of the hard work!
Welp, I'm still in the game! Just had my tuna sandwich with spicy brown mustard (tuna/bread/mustard) and I'm pumped that I was just able to run 2 miles in 20mins on the treadmill! Boring as hell but half way in I realized the boredom wasn't going to kill me!

#31
Is 2012 the end.... of me being fat? God I hope so! I've definitely let myself go from 2007, and while I've had various attempts to get back there all have failed! So here goes attempt #31! Is it really attempt #31? Seems like it but something is different this time! So we'll see where this new inspiration takes me! I'm already about a week in and sore as hell but I know its for a kick in the right direction.
