Jen's Journal.....Baby Steps to a new me

[DoeWDW]

Jen, you are doing a GREAT job!! Curves, the treaddie, throwing away the junky food - WOW!! Keep it up, Jen!!

Something doesn't sound right with your treaddie. If it's at 2.0 miles per hour that means it would take half an hour to walk a mile. That's a pretty slow pace. Maybe it's not measuring the speed right - can you set it to go slower? I'd just do what you can and slowly work up to more time on it - 10 minutes a day for a week and then 15 minutes a day for another week. It will get easier.

Hope the paper goes well! Is it on something interesting or is it for that Women's Lit class that you aren't too fond of?

it is for the womens lit class--but it is done!!!!!!!!!
I thought something might be wrong with the treadmill bc i used to walk a mile in less than 10 min..(i couldnt run because of my throat problems, but i was allowed to power walk)..yesterday, i was on the treadmill for 10 min and it said i only went .40 mile.

hi keener thanks ! i am TRYING to become more motivated..the other day i came here ready to quit LOL

Today--been a bum day...i wrote my paper, havent felt very good--then i just got a phone call that my 2 kiddies (the ones i nanny) have strep..so i am just going to lay down for awhile..and go to curves this afternoon..spring break is boring but i am a boring person apparently...
all my friends go to different schools so i dont see them often..then on weekends im so exhausted from school and work that i just ant to stay home..what a boring 20 year old

hope you guys have a great day!

Congrats on finishing your paper That must feel good.

Did you get the TaeBo tapes? I just love Billy Banks, he's so motivating

I hope your day perks up

Hi Jen,

First, you are absolutely not boring. You are juggling work, school, exercise, and health issues. You should be tired with that schedule. Hopefully, you can rest up over break and even get a little fun in.

Take your vitamins and get some extra sleep.

Take care,
Beth

 

[Blueeyes101817]

havent had a chance to even get to the mall yet--im hoping i can this weekend..
i think i am going to go to sleep extra tonight--i feel bad for the kiddies having strep, but i hope i dont get it!!!

the sad thing is ..this summer,,i have work 8-5, then night classes 6-10...again no life

thanks guys!!

LOL, Jen! I was married for going on 2 years when I was 20, so I was probably more boring than you. All I did was work and go to school. On the rare occasions that DH and I felt like we needed to do something entertaining we would rent movies! Now our idea of a good time is either dinner and a movie, going to Wal-mart, or just sleeping in really late! I guess that's probably pretty boring, but I love my life anyway! So, you might find your life boring, but I don't! I enjoy reading about the life of a single 20 year old college student.

Life?!!! What's that!

Jen,

Hey girl! You are NOT boring! You are juggling a lot of different things right now so I can see why you are tired with your schedule.

I hope you have a wonderful day today, Jen!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

haha you guys always make me feel so much better--thanks!!
just went to curves--i slept till 10 today--it ifelt wonderful..
i have to go babysit a bit early today..hte kiddies are home sick from school and the grandpa is watching them..so i am going to go "releive him of his duties" around 2..hopefully then i can get the kiddies to take a nap..have a great day--its almost friday!!

Hey Jen! Just catching up with your journal. I'm so glad you had this week off to recoup and regroup! Spring will be right around the corner for us, I'm sure!!!! And thanks for all the kind words in my journal. It really means a lot to me!

Hope you have a great day!

TTFN- Sharon

Hey, Jen -- Congratulations on getting to Curves! Good job, chickie. And I know you will have your hands full this afternoon with the kiddies being sick, but be sure to take a moment now and then to appreciate all you are accomplishing -- school and being a nanny and getting fit. Give yourself some credit and keep up the great work. My favorite saying is "Commit and commence!" Just keep moving forward, kiddo. And, no, your life is not boring. It is full and purposeful!
Have a great afternoon.

 

[sarahsmom73]

Happy Friday Jen!

 

[wilderness01]

Have a great weekend.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hi everyone!!
well happy friday!!
no curves today for 2 reasons..moms saying its not good for the stitches...and im waiting for a call to go watch the kids...their mom has to go into work so im going to watcht hem as soon as they get home from the dr..poor kiddies stll dont feel good..but im getting up early tomorrow to go to curves..and then hopefully can go to the mall to get my taebo tapes---im kinda uncoordinated, so hope i can still do them!!!
iw as miserable yesterday and my stomach was huge but then i looked at my BC pills and realized TOM is next week, so now it is all making sense.
have a great weekend everyone!!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Hey Jen...best not to mess with those stitches!

I tell ya...we're all on the same cycle...I got a sweet tooth last night(I was good though...had a WW dessert)..and realized that next week will start TOM.

Don't worry about the coordination for the Taebo tapes...that's probably the best thing about them...there are no dance steps or combination of steps...he usually just stays on one thing before moving to the next!

Enjoy your Friday!

Hi Jen,

I hope the kids weren't too cranky.

I like my taebo tape. I got the cardio circuit one. Just be careful, and use proper technique.

Have a great weekend,
Beth

 

[Blueeyes101817]

thanks guys--im excited about getting the tapes...you guys are gonna have to help keep me motivated...buttttttttttttt
i babysat all day today from 10-8...no curves..but while they were napping, i did sit ups, squats, lunges...so i did do something!!! tomorrow im going to curves and then to my best friends baseball game--im so excited!
hope you guys have a great day

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hi, Jen! Well, I thought I would wish you good luck on the whole WPASADI thing. I gotta be honest...I hope my team wins, simply b/c I don't feel like doing the individual challenge and that way I won't have to bow out this week. Then, if we lose next week they will know ahead of time that I plan to bow out next week for sure!

I hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hey everyone--
well this weekend was so much fun ..i did squats and crunches and lunges and stuff this morning and have been doing much better with my eating..
Yesterday i went to my friends baseball game and found out it was a double header--i was so excited!they lost, but it was fun getting to see him since i havent seen him since december i think...plus im going to go to another game in a week or so...i LOVE baseball ahha..today, if i can manage it, im goin to go to the mall and see if they have the taebo tapes, if not ill just suck it up and pay the s&h..

other exciting news this weekend--found ou t2 of my favorite country artists are coming to town and its a free concert

hope you guys had a great weekend

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hey, Jen! Glad to hear about your fun weekend! So who are the 2 country artists that you will get to hear for free??? I love country music...which is so ironic since I live in Mississippi and most of the people I know here hate country music (including Dh) and I am not from here and love it. So much for the stereotype that all southerners love country music!
