okay here comes another long rambly--feel free to skip it!!

I keep telling myself that i will get back on track, i will eat better and exercise, and really stay dedicated and motivated..i dont know what is wrong with me..im horrible at this..during the week, i am so tired by the time i get home from work and school at 10, that i cant even think of exercising..my weekends are me baisically laying around trying to catch up on sleep...
i NEED to cut down on the emotional snacking...i eat when im worried, when im sad, when im bored..everything! its ridiculous..the worst part is i will eat the goldfish while thinking " i really shouldnt be having these"...
I am still under 150lbs, but i would love to lose 10 pounds at least, and i cant see it happening..plus when the semester starts again, i will be doing a 19 credit coures load *4 days of classes till 2* then working from 3-6....then on mondays i have classroom observation all day...i really need to get in gear and stop making excuses for myself--i have disney in 60 days and would love to be looking better than i do right now--i dont want to look at pictures and wish i looked thinner or something...

well , thanks for letting me ramble if you read this, i am going to start being more dedicated in posting on these boards and hope that it willkeep me motivated again..thanks

well, i know no one has been here yet,but i did do some working out ..not too much, but i did do some cardio..
i also weighed myself, and im at 145, not too bad i guess...

Jen,
Thanks for visiting my journal! Wow! You are at 145! Awesome! I can't wait until I reach that number!

By all means, feel free to steal ideas from me! I'm a teacher...stealing comes natural to me! Really, though, teachers share their ideas all the time so I'd be more than happy if you used the smilie idea. It's a great visual tool for me.

Keep up the hard work!

Lisa

 

[Blueeyes101817]

well im going to school to be a teacher, maybe i can steal more ideas from ya

today was a long day--work and then school....my brothers best friend from iraq emailed us so that really made me happy--he got promoted and his squad guys played a trick on him at 5 in the morning..they duct taped him to his bed..it was hilarious!!! he sent us pictures of it,,i laughed so hard!!
my other friend, the one i sent a letter to from any soldier.com is supposed to come home rom iraq this week!

Hi Jen - great job at 145!! That is awesome!!

Wow - I thought that hazing was just for fraternities!! I guess it's everywhere.

 

[Cruise04]

Congrats on the weight - that is a good weight but I can understand wanting to lose more. You can do it - try to grab snacks that are a bit better for you - crackers with a little peanut butter, apples with peanut butter, fruit, baby carrots - things like that will give you some energy and fill you up.

You can do it!!!!!!

Keep on
Chris

 

[Blueeyes101817]
