End of week 5

I have been slacking on writing this blog every day.
Yesterday I cut a minute off of my mile! I am the only one that walks in the class; everyone else runs. So on my lonesome walk I was really feeling let down by my body; it's not fair that everyone else can run, jump, and ride bikes. I don't know why my knees have to be so bad, and I envy people that can do those things without feeling joint pain. I understand that walking is great cardio, but I just can't help wanting to be able to run with the rest of the group. My wise friend once told me that having knee pain was because I am afraid to move forward. But right now I am facing that I and I am ready to move forward, and I feel like I am moving forward. Soon; my knees will feel stronger, but I don't know if I will ever be able to run and jump.
I do see a shift in my body, and my mind. It's just beginning to take form right now, and I predict that in a year; I will see myself in a completely different way. My guess is 50-70 lbs less in a year, and maybe more if I keep up the hard work.
