Day #5: January 24th, Friday

Today was a good day. It was easy to want to go to the gym at the beginning of the day but when I got home from work I laid in my bed and started watching T.V. That is when I realized that the more comfortable you are, the harder it is to exercise. I could hear all the excused run through my mind so that I didn't have to go to the gym. It almost worked until I really thought about the 100 day challenge and I didn't want to skip a day or the whole challenge would be ruined. At the gym I ran four miles and I did it in 34:45 which is my best time since I started this challenge. I know it's not that great right now but hopefully by the end of the 100 days I can run that in 28 minutes which is what I could do before I got married... When I weighed myself today I actually gained .8 pounds. I don't know why I gained but I'm sure that this will happen a bunch during my 100 days. I can't lose a pound a day every day. Even though I gained a little bit I didn't let it get to me because I felt so good about myself. That to me is the most important thing about my body, If 45 minutes at the gym does that for me, the sacrifice is nothing.
