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.

Sunday March 9th:
Today I did squats and crunches. I did about 100 squats and 50 crunches. I drank water after and during the workout. Lastly, I ate a banana for the protein.

Monday March 10th:
Today I had softball; we worked on our usual grounders and fly balls. We also batted and did run throughs.

Tuesday March 11th:
Today at softball we batted for most of the time. This helps let out my anger and any other emotions I might have. After today my arm is a little sore.

Wednesday March 12th:
Today at softball I got hit in the eye with a ball so I sat out the first half of practice. After recovering, I got back to practice and did ground balls.

Thursday March 13th:
There was no softball today so I did about 50 sit ups and ate some fruit. My right arm is still sore from throwing so I decided to take it easy.

Saturday March 1st:
Today my family was having a party for my mom's birthday. I had to help clean everything so I was up and down my stairs all day. Also, before I went to sleep I did about 150 squats.

Monday March 3rd:
Today were softball tryouts. They were not as bad as I thought they were going to be; I am actually really excited for this season. At tryouts we stretched and threw at the beginning. After our arms were warmed we did some basic fundamentals of softball that included grounders and fly balls. Practice was from about 2:30 to 5.

Tuesday March 4:
Today the gym was not available for us to use so we went up in the hallway and worked on some hand work with tennis balls. We also did planks today. My team did not use gloves today so we can get used to the proper way to catch a ball. Practice today was actually kind of fun.

Wednesday March 5:
As the days go on and I go to more and more softball practice I get more excited. Today other than our usual throwing and grounders, we hit off of tees in the gym. We did swings with one arm first so our other arms gets stronger for when we swing. I love batting because it is a  release for me. If I am having a bad day I can always count on batting to make me feel better.

Thursday March 6:
Today at softball I found out I was on JV, I do not mind this at all. I get to be a leader on this team since I am a returner and considered an upper clansman. At practice today we dd our usual throws, grounders, and fly balls. After we were done with that, two of our coaches pitched live with wiffle balls. This really helped me because I seem to have a hard time hitting off of a live pitch, but I can hit anything else.
