Weigh in today... guess what... no loss! Ahhh ha ha. I looked at my log and I have not lost or gained one ounce in 5 weeks. I know for absolutely sure I was within points this week, so. Yeah. Sort of disappointing but whatever. My jeans are definitely looser the past 2 weeks, and losing a jeans size would make me happier than losing 5 pounds with no noticeable waist difference, so take that scale.

Today I ran week 5 day 3... yes, the dreaded 20 minute straight run. Well, I pretty much ran 20 minutes straight. A few minutes into the run, I hit the emergency stop button (which I've done at LEAST 6 times before this run, so it wasn't new). I was probably close to 3 minutes in, but I decided to count it as 2 and run 18 more just because I don't want to cheat. Well, I looked at the clock at 17:34 and a few seconds later... hit it again! I had probably already hit 20 minutes at that point, but I had told myself I would run to 18, so I restarted again with the intention of running one last minute. 45 seconds in, you guessed it. Emergency stop. At that point I gave up and left, haha. I'm pretty sure I figured out why I keep hitting it (not actually hitting the button, but rubbing up against the string that pulls it out which is wrapped tightly against the front bar). Hopefully I can correct next time and not deal with it anymore.

Other than that it was a fine run. The hardest thing was distracting myself from looking at the clock the whole time. Once I hit 5 minutes I was able to tell myself, "You're 1/4th done... 2 more minutes and you're half done... you're over half done" and that helped.

So, that's about it for now. I'm just going to ignore the scale and keep doing what I'm doing, because I know I'm doing the right things and someday the scale will catch up to me. Or else I'll be a size 8 and weigh 260 lbs :)
