Sunday May 11th:
Today I decided to go for run with my dog. I thought since I brought my dog that it would make me run for a farther distance. I ran around my neighborhood for about 20 minutes. I am trying to push myself more and more each time I go for a run. I also have been really trying to drink more water. Water is supposed to cleanse out your system.
Monday May 12th:
Today I was lifting weights to build up my strength in my arms so I can finally do a pull up. I could never do a pull up. Hopefully if I build up my strength I will be able to do at least one pull up. Also, I did about 35 push ups, not all at once, but all together.
Tuesday May 13th:
Today I played on Xbox Kinect with my neighbors. This surprisingly takes a lot out of you while playing. After this, we all went outside and walked to the park. I chased my neighbor around the park for about an hour. I then went home and did about 100 squats. My legs are definitely getting stronger.
Wednesday May 14th:
Today I went for another run and I ran for about the same time as I did on Monday. I think that the more I run the easier it will become. I am proud of myself for running as much as I have already.
Thursday May 15th:
Today I was lifting again. I did 15 reps each, and I did 30 push ups. I am also trying to eat healthier. It is sometimes hard to eat healthy when I can't deny the food that my parents make. Hopefully, I can convince my family to eat healthier too.

Sunday April 27th:
Today, I played with my neighbor Eliza outside and we played tag. After babysitting her, I ran for 10 minutes. Throughout the day, I drank more water than I ever have before. This is a good step towards being healthy.
Monday April 28th:
Today at softball, we practiced fielding the ball and hitting. I did really well fielding at first base, because I caught the ball almost every time. Then, while hitting with Ashley I had really good cuts. After practice, I went home and did one hundred squats.
Tuesday April 29th:
Today I couldn't go to softball practice, because I could not get a ride home. When I got home, since I couldn't go to softball practice, I ran and jogged for twenty minutes. This is a step up from Sunday, because on Sunday I only ran for ten minutes.
Wednesday April 30th:
Today we had a softball game against De La Salle at the Lemont Park District field. We ended up losing the game 13-4. Without the first inning and all the runs we gave up, it would have played out differently in the end. Overall we fought it out in the end and played a decent game.
Thursday May 1st:
Today after school, I went to a concert with my brother John. I saw Koo Koo Kangeroo and The Aquabats. The whole concert was basically a dance party. I danced the entire time and I probably burned a lot of calories. After the concert I got to talk to the members of the band; Koo Koo Kangaroo. It was a grand time.

Sunday April 13th:
Today I went shopping with my mom for about 2 hours. When I got home I played catch with my brother. Today was a very slow day so I really didn't feel like running. In all, the day was pretty dark and gloomy.
Monday April 14th:
Since it was raining/snowing today my softball team and I only had pictures and no practice. Also because of the rain, I could not go for a run. I probably wouldn't have anyways because my knees have been bothering me. Anyways, I worked on my abs and arms today because of my knee soreness. I did some crunches and apple pickers. Lastly, I used my workout machine for my arms and I did some push ups.
Tuesday April 15th:
Surprisingly, I had a really fun time at practice today. I was having a really good day with my fielding and hitting. I can definitely see myself improving with each practice and game. My team and I worked on sinarios of where the ball would be hit and when to run when on base. We couldn't do as much, though, because we were in the gym and we did not have as much space as we usually would on our field.
Wednesday April 16th:
Waking up today I was very anxious because today was our last day of school before break. I had a great day because I finally did well on my geometry quiz. Then after school, at softball I hit exceptionally well. All in all, my day was good even though I am getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow.
Thursday April 17th:
Today was a terrible day. I got my wisdom teeth taken out today and it was not good. I don't really remember that much about it, but I am in a lot of pain right now, and it won't stop bleeding. I obviously did not do anything physical today. Hopefully, I should get back being physical by Saturday.

Sunday April 6th:
Today I went for a walk with my dog for about two hours. Not only do I need the exercise, my dog does too. After walking my dog, I got home and practiced throwing and catching a softball with my brother. Lastly, I used the workout machine I have to strengthen my arms.
Monday April 7th:
While at softball practice today we focused a lot on hitting. I need as much practice with this as possible. When I get up to bat, I get too nervous and I don't swing. Other than batting, we worked on our fielding. Since I play many different positions, I rotated between 1st and 3rd base.
Tuesday April 8th:
Today at softball fielding was our main focus. I again rotated between 1st and 3rd. My team is getting better and better with our throws and getting to the ball. Practice does pay off. After fielding, we again worked on hitting.
Wednesday April 9th:
After school today there was no softball practice. When I got home my mom and I went to the store to get things to decorate my friend's locker for her birthday the next day. When I got home I used our workout machine again for my arms. I use it to build up my strength for throwing.
Thursday April 10th:
Today the entire sophomore class went to the Holocaust museum. This was a very interesting trip. I found the artifacts both intriguing and saddening. We walked around on a tour for about 3-3:30 hours. After this exhausting day of walking around the entire time, I had a very brief softball practice. We just worked on our throws today.

Sunday March 30th:
Today I went for a 1 mile run. I usually hate running, but today I actually liked it for some reason. It helps when I listen to fast pace and up beat music when I run. The music helps me stay energized; I seem to have more stamina.
Monday March 31st:
Today, as usual, I had softball after school. For practice we did something completely different, on the other hand. My team and I practiced sliding. Sliding is fun only if you know how to do it. Although I enjoy sliding, my mom doesn't because then she has to wash my dirty pants. Furthermore, after sliding we threw our normal warm ups, and the rest of the practice was more sliding.
Tuesday April 1st:
Other than softball practice today I went home and used a workout app on my phone. The app has specific workouts for each part of your body. Surprisingly, the workouts are actually somewhat fun. I have also been trying to drink more water since I usually don't drink that much water.
Wednesday April 2nd:
While at softball today we did some sliding again. Along with the sliding came my mom getting mad that I was covered in mud and dirt. Apparently I would "ruin her car." After I got home from softball I took my dog for a long walk to clear my head. Taking walks actually helps me.
Thursday April 3rd:
Since there was an immense amount of rain today, I had to stay inside and get my exercise done. I again used the app on my phone. One thing that I enjoy doing is a plank. I barely have abs, but these are still fun for me. In the end, this week has been a lot better; I was a lot more active this week, and I feel better about myself.

Sunday March 23rd:
Today I walked around the mall with my mom for about 5 hours. When I got home I did 100 squats.
Monday March 24th:
Today after softball practice I went for a 1 mile run. I am starting out slow so I don't strain myself. It took my about 8 minutes tp complete it.
Tuesday March 25th:
Today after my two hour softball practice I played Kinect on the X-box with my neighbors. We played the dancing game and the sports game. After this I went home and did 50 crunches.
Wednesday March 26th:
Today after softball I went for another run; I cut my time down by about it 20 seconds. It isn't a lot, but I'm glad I'm still cutting my time down.
Thursday March 27th:
Today we didn't have softball so I went straight home. At home I did 50 crunches,30 apple pickers, and 100 squats. I also have been eating better for the past week. I am trying to be healthier.

Sunday March 16th:
Today I went to the mall and walked around for about five hours. After I got home I did some crunches and cherry pickers. My abs were a little sore after today.
Monday March 17th:
After trying on dresses for two hours I went home and did 100 squats. I also started going to bed earlier because when I'm tired I don't want to workout. More sleep means more motivation.
Tuesday March 18th:
Today at softball we went over our signs and pitches. We then walked through everything. We also got our uniforms today; I'm number 21 this year. When I got home I did 40 cherry pickers.
Wednesday March 19th:
Today at softball we got to dive on to mats. We did this so we wouldn't be afraid to dive for the ball during the game. We also hit balls that were thrown to us instead of off off tees.
Thursday March 20th:
Today for softball we went outside for once. My team wasn't throwing that well today so we went back instead. To take the pressure off of the bad practice my coach let us play game. The game is kind of like dodge ball but with a softball.
