One month since I started

It's been one month since my journey to try and lose weight started on Nov. 11. If I didn't have so far to go, I think I could feel good about losing 21 pounds. But since I have 79 pounds to go, it's realistically just a drop in the bucket. I have to admit it's a tad frustrating, and I sometimes think it's not worth all the effort I'm putting out. I'm still too fat for the wii fit, for fuck's sake! (Although it's getting closer and closer to the day I can kick its ass for all those times telling me I exceed its weight limit).


I am seriously contemplating accelerating the c25k plan just for one day, so I can run a 5k one week from today, which happens to be my birthday. My very first goal was to run a 5k by my birthday, which I thought was an achievable goal because when I started, my birthday was six weeks away. Well, i was wrong. It was five weeks away. However, next week's schedule on the c25k program calls for running two miles with no walking on the Friday workout. So I am contemplating making my Friday workout a Saturday workout and going for broke and doing the 5k. If I have to walk, so be it. But I really want to do this.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to update my food diary daily just so I don't have a big, three-day's-worth-of-food wall of text at the end of every post
