Today I ran one mile in 9:08 which is pretty good for me right now. I walked a mile after that in 18:19.

After that mile, my plan was to run 1/4 mile and then walk 1/4 mile and keep that going until I hit 2 more miles.

Once I tried running again my shins were on fire (shin splints suck ass) and on top of that my knees were in pain. My KNEES. I know I’m almost 29 but damn this is the first time I’ve had knee pain and I don’t like it.

I guess for the next week I’ll just rest and focus on weightlifting and HIIT training. Frustrated but not giving up.

I’m also doing IF, 16:8 and ive stuck to it pretty well this week besides times outside of my control. I’m currently on active duty orders with the Army so some things I can’t control.

Im hoping for some results by Monday!

I’m tired of being complacent. I’m tired of doing the things I do to make others happy instead of doing what my heart drives me to do. I miss learning. I miss doing things that scare me. That shit makes me stronger. I’m tired of feeling weak and being weak.

I miss feeling good. I’m so tired.

Now more than ever is not the time for me to back down. No more baby steps, I’m jumping.

Just ran 2 miles and it was pretty awful.

Running sucks.

But... one step closer to it sucking a little bit less. WoooOooO

Every day I try to pick out some reasons as to why I really want to better myself, and of course my girlfriend is a huge reason. I’m trying to change a lot with my habits, my mind, and my soul. I’m trying to cleanse myself from all the shit of the world so I can give her 100%.

She’s literally the light of my life.

Whole grain waffles with natural peanut butter and a cup of almond milk 🥛

Great way to start the day!!

The whole grain waffles were way different than the normal frozen waffles, but still pretty delish.

First “diet” of my life eeeek

I hate calling it a diet, because I just have a super negative connotation when it comes to that word. I'm trying to train my body to ENJOY things like.... fucking lowfat greek yogurt, bran cereal, and almonds on top. The dressing on my salad for lunch was literally low fat greek yogurt, lime juice, and a little salt and pepper... WTF BLEGH But, today I ate those for breakfast and lunch. They really weren't AWFUL. It wasn't fucking Taco Bell but shit, it filled me up and honestly it's been pretty cool sticking to a meal plan. (Day 2/30). I'll be posting my "why" story probably tomorrow. P.S. I'm down 10 pounds so far. HOLY FECK!
