just keep running

I lost all of the birthday weight: YAY!
But I haven't lost anything since. Boo. Now, I know that I have some how managed to lose four lbs in 4 days, but I'm impatient.
However, I know that I'm still making progress, because I know that my running has vastly improved. I found out yesterday that in 4 minutes I run (jog) 1/4 of a mile. So in the time that my podcast runs, it means I'm moving for two miles in 35 minutes. My goal is to run (jog) 3.1 miles in 45 minutes. I actually think I might make it!! Not only that, but I feel good when I do so. I'm not ever horribly out of breath. My legs hold me back, but even they are getting stronger every day. I'm excited about my progress, and I've made plans to run (jog) my first mile full blown at the end of this month. My friend Nate is going to run it with me. We are going to run it in my own neighborhood, the same mile where I first tried to run in 2009 and found that after a mere block I was almost dead from no air, I'd pulled my knee and I'd hurt my shoulder pretty bad. It's going to feel so incredibly good to be able to run the whole mile in the same place I had failed so miserably only two years ago.
I'm having some trouble keeping my calories in the right zone. I have been scarily under calorie a couple of days this week, and other days I've really close to going horribly over. But I have a great app that is keeping me honest, as well as keeping me aware of just what I'm eating on any given day.
This wasn't just an April thing. I'm still going. My goal for the month of May is to lose 10 lbs.

Started this month at: 255 even. Hoping to end it at 245. And I just keep singing to my self, Just keep running, just keep running...
