Progress is slow

The perfect diet? Get sick and don't get over it for like 3 weeks. I think its back to the doctor today... Can't find anything wrong with me, just get pain pills or antibiotics but it hasn't helped yet. I work at the mall at it seems like a lot of other people that work there are getting sick too... If you haven't been to Fashion Place the total scale of the construction is hard to believe. There is a lot of dust floating around especially when the air kickes on. Maybe that is whats making me sick? My manager has aesthema and i know it hasn't been awesome for him but some nasty something in the air would explain a sore throat and bloody sinus infection. 

The biggest problem is that when you cant breath it is hard to work out. I hope I can get over this soon and actually make my goal of 3 times a week at the gym. That is just to start, I was going 4 or 5 but it seems like its getting harder to do the things i need to. I have seen success so far. In the total time I have been doing this blog I have lost 7lbs! (yes I am happy I did that much, but if I was able to work like I want it would be better.)

Maybe that is the real challenge though. Its not about loosing weight in a perfect world. We don't all get the chance to go on tv and have a personal trainer tell us what will work for us and cook our meals and hold our hand at the gym and because your on tv you just hang out with the other contestants in a big house. I would jump at the chance to do something like that but I live in the real world and am faced with trying to squeeze a few min on the treadmill between school and work and homework and family and well... life. But its my life and if I don't continue down the path i have chosen it will be cut shorter than i would like. 

I wanted this to be a blog about the amount of progress I made in getting more fit and so far it reads like a blog about the growing frustration in trying to get fit. You can observe the change over time, but its me pulling my hair out and killing myself to make anything happen, not the results. Perhaps I'm just discouraged this week. That Doesn't mean I'm going to stop!
