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

[LAinSEA]

Jen:

I just got through your journal. You are quite lovely - don't worry about weight, just focus on being and feeling healthy!

I've battled with the thyroid issues too...but my levels always test out on the "low side of normal range" which keeps my doctor from prescribing anything for it...Excercise is really the only thing that can help me lose weight - and yes, I've got to get back to it.

What teaching program are you in and what subject do you want to teach?
I'm getting my masters through Univ. of Phoenix online - but will have obviously have to do my student teaching in the classroom. I want to teach middle school, junior high or high school language arts/social studies.

Thanks for your encouragement in my journal...it is amazing how a kind word can really keep my spirits up!

hi everyone--i am sooo sorry if i sounded whiney the last couple of days (i re-read my posts..i was whining! ) thanks for all your posts--i knew i couldnt work out , but i felt bad about it...

laurie--welcome to my journal ! SOrry about your thyroid problems--im on medicine, have b een since i was 15, but my levels fluctuate so much , that i usually change doses every 3-4 months...(i started having thyroid problems when i was 8 and had a tumor, so now my entire thyroid is removed)....makes it a pain in the weight department!
im in the early childhood education program, with a focus in sociology..im only in my 2nd semester of sophomore year, but starting in the spring, i may do some substitute teaching..i havent been by your journal yet..but will check it out tomorrow since i believe i will be snowed in

Welcome back, Jen!
I don't know if you have checked your weight again, since that Curves visit, but it was SO humid while we were in FL, I bet you are/were holding on to some water weight. Now that you are home, I bet it is gone!

It looks like you have another trip in just 2 weeks! That's AWESOME!!! I am GREEN with envy!!

You can whine anytime you want!!!! Sometimes you just need to!

Hi Jen!

How are you feeling today??? Were you able to get to the doctor's? Have a great weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Still not feeling very well--tries to get up early to go to curves, but i dont think that is such a great idea today--so im sitting here doing homework ,so i dont have to worry about it later--were supposed to be getting a ton of snow today---
thanks for checking in on me!! next week im really going to have to crack down and go to curves again..

Terry--well the dr office weighed me yesterday , and i was at 151, but their scale always tells me im heavier than i am...TOM is this week, so that may be a factor...but i will be back in florida soon and im sure ill be walking around like crazy!!

You are smart to take that rest when you need to. You are listening to your body. You'll get back to curves and in a groove again.

Enjoy the snow!

Yes... When your body says rest.. you need to! I hope you feel better soon!
