Jay-nee's journal

[jay-nee]

dont you wonder how some people stay in business?!
hope you had a great easter---even though i havent been checkin in, i have been thinking about you guys..hope everything is well

ALL THE TIME!


Well, life is good right now. I seem to have a direction and that is a nice change.

I'm going to eBay University tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it will help to educate me. I have sold 4 things so far, so I'm pretty happy about things so far.

I have changed my WI day to Mondays, Tuesdays weren't working for me 'cause DH always sleeps until mid-morning and I want to weigh myself 1st thing. So, today was WI day and I'm maintaining my 155.5 and I'm sooooooo happy about that!

I have been awesome about my exercise and I biked 6 miles yesterday OUTSIDE with DS! Yippee! Then I did the Bowflex routine too.

I was way off plan yesterday with my eating. I indulged in Easter candy. Not as bad as I would have, but I had fun. I had, probably, 12 malted milk Easter eggs, 2 choc covered pretzels, and 2 choc covered raisen clusters. No worries though... I'm back on track today, no problem. I just feel like I can control this because I want to now. Such a different mentality than I have ever had before.

Happy Monday all!

I indulged in the chocolate a lot yesterday as well. My FIL got me a HUGE bag of Peanut M&M's - my favorite! Way to go on the exercise yesterday - you are surely becoming a buff jock athlete!

Hi Jay-nee

Way to go with the exercise! Isn't it GREAT to get outdoors! I was able to run outdoors on Easter. Yeah Don't worry about Easter candy indulgence, its over now. You are doing so great maintaining your weightloss.

Congrats to you! You sound so healthy--great exercise, great attitude!

Happy Tuesday! Man, oh, man, did it rain yesterday! WOW! I had to "bail" the barn doors out 4 times between yesterday afternoon and this morning for fear that my barn would flood and the poor pony and goats would think Noah was going to have to come and get them!

I hate when it happens that we get a huge amount of rain before the snow is gone. The snowbanks are so high all around the barn doors that it just pools outside of the doors and if it gets too, in it goes. Thankfully, it has only happened once, but that was ENOUGH! So now I am diligent about "bailing out the doorways. What a pain!

Other than that, things here are good, steady at least. I can live with that. Sadly, I have to admit that I've had a few more malted Easter eggs and a few more choc covered pretzels and raisens. I'm totally ok with it though and I'm trying to stay OP other than those so I'm sure it won't crush me. I'll just keep biking, pilate-ing, and Bowflex-ing and it will all be fine in the end. Yes, it will be nice when the holidays are done for a while (I guess we are there now, right?).

It looks like 4 of my eBay items are going to sell. So psyched! Gotta start somewhere, right? Now that I am flexing my entreprenuerial muscles, I'm thinking about starting a weekend petsitting business. Just thinking... I just want to feel more self-reliant. DH keeps bringing up the fact that I only work PT and all. argh - who has that skillet right now? I need it to bash him upside the head. DS mentioned that in one day I work harder than DH all week. Between homeschooling, work, and running the household, I keep pretty busy. The only time I sit still is when I use the computer, not really much, except now with this eBay thing, maybe an 1 1/2-ish hrs (give or take a 1/2 hr) a day. Usually before everyone even gets up in the morning anyway.

Speaking of work, I need to get going. Time to walk the dog and tonight I'm making quiche so, I better get to it. Plus, I wanted to list a couple more things on eBay this afternoon if I have some time.

Hugs to all my fellow WISH buddies! Love ya!

Hi Jay-ne,

Boy, I can relate to the parttime comment. I ended up making a list of everything I do in a week. I also went on strike.

Don't worry too much about hte Easter candy. You are an exercise fiend, and it is all just a blip n the screen.

Have a great night,
Beth

 

[sarahsmom73]

We got that rain just before you!!! Our septic was NOT happy!!!! We are supposed to get nailed again this weekend, but at least the next few days are supposed to be beautiful!!!

Have a great day!

I made it!!!!!!! I am officially at GOAL this morning! (actually.5 below, but who's counting, eh?)

It has taken me 4 months (yesterday). Exercising consistantly at least 30 minutes a day on the bike and portin control, that was the plan and I stuck to it! If I can do this, anyone can!

Just wanted to gloat a bit... I will try to find some pictures from November when I started this journey. But, I am still journeying, because I know the stats... rebound will not claim me! I never want to be above 155 again!

To all my WISH buddies - thank you. You have been my support and understanding throughout this last 4 months and, seriously, I would have never done it without all of you! Love and hugs to all who have supported me and helped to keep my spirits up. (it was tough at times)

I need to jet, but I will journal tomorrow. Love ya all!

Check out the clippie! Yep, it's mine! All mine!

Jay-nee Made Goal!!!

Congratulations Jay-nee,

You have stayed focused and committed during very stressful time. I am so very proud of you. You are an inspiration to us all.

Congrats, now go celebate!

Take care,
Beth

 

[jay-nee]

Thank you Beth! You are too sweet!

I am going out to lunch with a friend for her 50th Bday! I am so looking forward to this. I never do things like this, 'cause I have work, kids, demading hubby, etc. But, I've decided to do it anyway! Much to DHs dismay...can you believe that? argh! But, I WILL enjoy myself. I wish I had a copy of their menu, so I could make a plan. (that's what I did down at WDW and it worked great!).

Well, I have to get organized, I need to feed the barn animals and get the laundry done so that I CAN enjoy the luncheon...

Biked outside again yesterday, so much more fun... Love it!

to all...jay-nee

Jen - thanks, it's nice to have folks around who can really appreciate how big this is! I had a GREAT time at the lunch, it was really fun... I had a veggie quesadilla from the appetizer menu. I was gonna ever splurge and have a glass of wine, but no one else ordered a drink, so I didn't...kinda bummed... The quesadilla was very good and just enough. I am always so proud of myself when I really read over the menu and make a real choice. That's a huge step for me...

Sunny - BTW, I love you little map on your siggie. I know right where you are too. I'm originally from Mass (up by Newburyport) and we drive down your way when we go to WDW. Do you live near Kimball's Farm Ice Cream Stand? We stop there on our way through...very yummy REAL ice cream! Can you see why I gained so much weight? No self-control...argh!

I sold a WHOLE bunch of stuff on eBay yesterday, so I was up late last night printing shipping labels and boxing stuff up. There is so much to learn! And, I'm a perfectionist, so I'm killing myself to do a great job. I hope it pays off...

Well, it's a cloudy, drizzly day so if I bike, I'm gonna get wet, but it might be fun, so I probably will anyway! I want to go and play some tennis sometime soon. But, we still have about 8 inches of snow (or more) in most places, so it will be a few more days... It's April and there is still snow on the ground, now that's crazy!

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and sell all my size 14 jeans, but I'm not sure yet. I just don't want to give myself permission to gain back any weight. Plus, they are really swimming on me now, not a bad thing, eh? I love baggies, so I dread getting rid of them. But, hopefully, my 12's will feel the same sometime soon too. I'm working on that!

Happy Saturday all!

 

[Blueeyes101817]
