Well, I told you that I'd keep you updated on my "jogging" progress.

My goal last week was to run Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

What I actually did: Wednesday and Sunday.

My jog Wednesday was rough; no denyin' it. Although my block is around 1/3 of a mile, it felt like I jogged a marathon. I went jogging before school at about 7:50 and I returned home about 8am. My asthma was acting up really bad, I had to take my emergency inhaler two times on my jog alone and another time when I got back. I was wheezing from the time I got back home until about 5pm, I couldn't stop coughing and it was a hard day for me.

Sunday, when I had the house to myself in the afternoon, I moved the coffee table so I could do stretching. But, being nervous and cautious I didn't run around my block again...instead I clicked on iTunes on my computer and I started playing a Skillet CD that I have and I jogged in place in my house to 3 songs (about 12 minutes)...I still got a major workout, but I did it in the safety of my own home and had a place to sit in case I had a "charlie horse" which I usually get when I overexert my calf muscles.

I checked the scale this morning, just to see if I had lost any weight and

Starting Weight: (10/19) 226
Today's Weight: (10/26) 221

I was really encouraged by that 5 pounds, so I made my lunch and brought it to school today. :)

Anyway, God bless and thanks for reading and praying.
