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

Congrats on the exercise!!

I think adding a minute is a great idea! Keep up the great work!

WE CAN DO THIS!

Thanks! Im not sure if i should add a minute every day..or a minute after a week? any ideas? ive heard both and not sure what to do!!
hope you had a good day too--jan 1 is almost gone and we WILL do it!

Yep, don't settle. In the long run, it won't work and you will be disappointed in your choice. Believe me, I know... Now, I have no idea what I was thinking, but at the time, seemed so right. I look back now and I can see the problems, but then, oh no, I was too in love! He did have some good qualities, but in total we were not a great fit, maybe a good one, but not great and it really needs to be great for the LONG haul.

Where is your cruise leaving from? My DB and DSIS are hitting some of the same spots as you and I think he's leaving around the same time as you. I think their cruise leaves from Galveston, TX, but I'm not 100% sure. Plus, I think they are going to Jamaica too. Boy, I'd love the warmth right now. You better enjoy it!

I take it that you are feeling better? Boy, I hope so!

Your grades are awesome! Way to go Jen! 6 courses is alot, for sure, but make sure you make the decision to decrease to 5 for all the right reasons, then you will be happy with your decision. Good luck with that!

Speaking of bikes, I am heading down to ride right now. Have a GREAT Monday, 'kay?

Glad to be back online with you too.

wow jaynee--2 days in a row with you on my journal?!?! wooohoooooo..
were leaving sunday out of ft lauderdale..but were leaving home saturday so well be staying in a hotel near philly...trust me, i will enjoy it!! i bought another memory card for my digital camera yesterday--im going to have a TON of pictureS!

i am feeling a ton better--im still very stuffed up, which i hope goes away because the plane ride will just make that worse...

I hope i will have more grades to post today--these professors need to get them in!!

well i just woke upand im still laying in bed-but the plan today is:
-work out
-start cleaning
-possibly a movie with my brother and his friend

IM SO EXCITED!! there was one class that i took this semester that i really thought i did bad in...I had a hard time in class and worked really hard at it--i was HOPING that i got a C, because anything lower than that, i would have to retake the class because it went toward my sociology major..
i just checked and i got a B!!! i dont know how i did that!!!
im waiting on 2 more grades so i can see what my GPA is! hope i get to see them today

 

[Blueeyes101817]

okay i just did my exercise for the day..i did 7 minutes on the treadmill and 7 minutes on the cardio cruiser again..i also did some other sit ups, pull ups, leg lifts and things like that..I figured i would take the advice i saw on another post and do the same time for aw eek, then up it a minute...itll go slowly, but that way i wont over do it..
my scale said 146 this mroning..i know its water weight that i lost, but its still nice to see a lower number!

Hey Jen!

Only 5 more days!!! Woohoo! I bet you are getting so excited!

Thanks for your encouragement in my journal today! I needed that.

Have a great evening!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Well today is my day off from exercising--i have done 3 days in a row and do not want to hurt myself before the trip! back to it tomorrow..

Today--i had a dentist appointment--i had braces years ago and my teeth are starting to shift-so they want me to get a removable bottom retainer--
then---i ran into my ex boyfriend...(for a little background, we dated almost 2 years)...we just talked for a little bit and he told me that i looked like i lost a lot of weight and that i was looking good...
now, i konw we arent dating, but i havnet seen him in over a year, so i guess he could really see a difference..
that was nice to hear..

My friend, jess is coming over tonight and were going just going to have a "girls night'..its always fun to have a night with the friends!!

Tracy-i am getting sooo excited!! I am getting my hair cut and highlighted tomorrow and i cant wait! maybe ill try ot get a picture up here tomorrow.

Well thats it for now--thanks again for everything guys!

[Blueeyes101817]

and i just finished my exercise for the day--another 7 min on the treadmill and the cardio cruiser for me--the cardio cruiser is getting easier and i still cant stand the treadmill! i also do pull ups, crunches, leg lifts, leg bends blah blah blah...
my plan is to exercise thur, fri, and saturday morning before i leave!
As of today, my weight was 144...i keep telling myself its just water but its a nice difference from the 147.5 i started with on jan 1 --even if it is just water!!!
