"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Mai Hana: Week 1 Day 1!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, I did it! I did it!

I got up at 0700, stretched and left the house at around 0720ish. I put on the app and I was on my way. Everytime it would tell me to jog, the minuet went by so fast! I thought the app was broken! lol I love morning jogs because it's so cool outside. I love running in my neighborhood because there aren't too many cars driving around especially in the morning. Nothing too interesting went on today during my jog today.

I was talking to Jayson the other day and he gave me this quote that I'm going to live by.

"Don't do it to lose weight. Do it to gain health."

Muscle weigh more than fat so if I'm gaining muscle while running, the numbers aren't going to change much. He told me that the best way to see if you're becoming more fit is to measure yourself. I used to obsess over my weight but now that Jay's helping me understand how everything works, I'm ditching the scale for a long time. The only time I'm going to weigh myself as of now is the monthly weigh ins to see if Jay needs to adjust my diet plan. Hopefully, this will keep me from feeling discouraged and quitting.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and your Monday is treating you guys well!

TTFN
Tata for now!

  1. I need to take after you! I've been taking measurements, but they aren't changing so I guess I'm double as frustrated. I think I'm going to hide the scale from myself though.
