Run forever Fever

I am making progress on my times! Strength training is really helping me get faster. I love being able to feel the strength in my legs as I run. My heavy bit even breath gives me a feeling of being on air every time I breathe in. I think I am in love.

Oh yea, I've lost 10 pounds since December 29th, 2013. My hard work keeps paying off! Also, remember earlier this week when I walked a 30 min mile? Well today I ran a 14:30 min mile!!!! It's amazing!!! ;) I can't wait until I can run a 9 min mile. That will be putting me in line with my times from high school! I am so close! So, how is everyone doing with their weight loss journey?

Someone at my work put out a bowl of Hershey kisses on a table close to my office. Every time I leave my office, my mouth starts to water thinking about the chocolate... I have done so good today! I went to the gym and really put in 200% and I've been eating so good in the past few weeks. I haven't had candy for about 3 and a half weeks, no sodas for 2 weeks. I've had two mochas in the past 3 and a half weeks and no baked desserts since Christmas. So after all of this self control I am not going to let a bowl of Hershey kisses get to me! I am not depriving myself but I am teaching myself to not give in to temptation. I want chocolate to be a treat for me since I love it so much. But I want to make the decision and PLAN when I will eat it. I know that my hard work is paying off, but I will not reward it with food. I am going to reward it with a fit healthy body that will fit in and look good in the sizes I used to wear! That was quite the pep talk huh? Haha

I am battling my self right now because I want to eat so bad. But the I think it's because I don't feel good today and want to go home. I know I don't need to put my feelings in the hands of food. So I am just posting so maybe I won't give in to temptation... HELP!

I feel like crap this morning, but I went to the gym anyway. I could only walk a mile in 30 minutes. But hey, at least I went. And I tried my hardest for the circumstances.

Add me on Fitocracy(JessicaBramlett) to see the whole workout! So today I was so discouraged! I was working out and these girls kept staring at me and laughing. It was probably all in my head and they were probably not laughing at or towards me. but it made me just want to quit for the day. I will not let it get to me tomorrow....

Today I was going to lift but it was so beautiful outside. I loved every minute of it! It was like 50 degrees out which was much compared to the low temps earlier this week. I didn't go very fast but at least I went. I was going to quit a little bit earlier but I seen this girl that had been running and was out of breath and but she was so beautiful. For some reason she gave me motivation to go a whole extra mile! I hope all of you are are having a great weekend. :) Remember that it's okay if you go at your own pace. Just GO!

Today I didn't go to the gym like I wanted to. It iced and I didn't want to get out this morning and it seems that the morning is my only sweet spot. If I wait until after work I have not motivation to do anything. I went about 123 calories over my calorie goal, but I am okay with this because I feel like I have been doing great and I can't wait to get back at it bright and early in the morning! What did you do today?
