Focus= control

Being in control is how I feel right now. I am working out consistently and just last week I started tracking my food. I know that is a huge part of staying focused but for some reason I couldn't get myself to do it. Not anymore, I maybe doing it the old fashion way using pen and paper but it works!!!!! I know that it will help me. Today I even took a picture of my food and sent it it my trainer!! I may not be seeing the scale move as much as I want or as fast but I can tell in my clothes and my energy level is up. I am more focused with my workouts!! I need to get some runs in for my big 10K on Sept 1st, I am so excited for this race! Focus, focus, focus!!!

97 degrees

Today it is hot and humid in MN, the temp is 92 but with the humidity it's around 97!!!! The air is thick and it is miserable to be outside, with that said I had a training session outside with my trainer at 5pm. I am about 4 blocks from thehigh school where we train I normally just walk there but today I chose to drive because of the heat and I knew I would feel miserable walking home after the session. I got there about 15 minutes early so I could get my warm up in. I walked one lap around the track then ran one, half mile down!!!! I was HOT and sweating like a pig, it is now 5 and my trainer is not there I continue to walk run the track, 1 mile down, still no trainer. I did another mile and a half then ran the bleachers and did some ladder runs. At 5:30 I text my trainer and said " I assume something came up because we were going to workout at 5 and your not here, I am leaving because it's to hot to continue. She text back that she "forgot" our session was tonight!!!! I will reschedule the session but even in the heat and without a trainer I got a workout in. I decided after I left the hot asphalt track to head to the gym!!! Way cooler there!!! I ellipticalled for 10 minutes and then did some weights!!!! I rocked the workout today!!!!!!!
