Thanks guys......

i think i need to start new to challenge myself---Ive really been slacking off, between school and work, im just exhausted and dont want to work out anymore--its lazy, plain and simple..
This weekend will be crazy with stuff for my bday with my family, but starting monday, i will try to work out 4 times a week..i will ONLY drink water...i will try not to eat as much junk!!
i know you guys are probably thinking im crazy--ive said this before and all that,,,but i just realized there are alot of things coming up that i want to look forward to...i got a new dress that i would LOVE to be able to fit into nicely for the cruise (I have a picture of it online, i think im going to try to put it in here for you guys to see)...im meeting the marine ive been talking to possibly next month in disney (even though he has seen pictures of me, id love to be able to use that as some motivation to lose some more weight)..and of course my trip in nov and my cruise in jan..

sorry for going on and on guys!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

okay guys--i got my pictures uploaded....ill show you the dress i got--it is for formal ngiht on the cruise in january and for my uncles wedding in april...
please excuse my hair and makeup as i didnt have anything done haha...i know the dress doesnt look that great (thats what i get for having HUGE hips--but hopefully itll look decent soon!)

Hi Jen,

Happy belated birthday Jen. I'm sorry I missed it. It sounds like you have a lot planned for the weekend, and your plan for healthy living is awesome. Have a great time this weekend,
Beth

Hi Jen!

I'm glad to hear that you had a nice birthday! Sounds like the celebration will last through the weekend.

I think that your goal to workout 4 times a week is very do-able. Maybe you'll want to join an exercise challenge so that you can post your minutes. It always motivates me to know I have xx amount of minutes left towards my monthly exercise goal.

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

thanks guys-- i have done challenges before but i never seem to meet my goal..its horrible,,but im starting again monday so ill have to do it!!

question--are you guys able to see the pictures a couple posts up? its not coming up for me!

 

[jay-nee]

Nope, I can't see your pix. Try again kiddo!

Have a great Bday weekend.

I need to get back on track too. You and I seem to slide at the same time, huh? Maybe we should check in with each other each day? Who knows if that would work, but it would keep us accountable. Let me know, ok?

Well, have fun and HAPPY SATURDAY!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

okay..pictures are fixed and are now showing--hopefully!!!!

Thanks you guys for stopping at my journal--it really means alot to me!

Jaynee--PM sent to you

I told you guys i was going to atlantic city to do their version of the price is right--well i ended up winning 165.00!! it was so much fun...when you check in, they show you two prizes (i saw a dinette set from 2004 and a shelving unit from 1978) you had to price them, and the closest people would be picked for the show...well i had NO clue and picked 2400 for the dinette set and 850 for the shelves....we ewnt to the show and didnt get picked for quite awhile--i looked at my mom and said it didnt matter,i had a great time!! 5 minutes later i hear Jen come on down!!! i was likE OMG!!!!!! so i go to "Contestants Row" and they brought out the item to bid on..it was a robot looking thing for kids...well my aunt bought that for my cousin for xmas last year so she told me to bid 100.00-----I GOT THE PERFECT BID..AND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! so i go up on stage with the host (who was rodger lodge, the guy that hosts that TV show Blind Date)...i played the game "its in the bag"..i lost, but it was so fun...i was soo nervous and people kept saying i looked so calm!
After the show, we had to go sign the paperwork for our prizes ( i was the 2nd biggest winner!) so they said i could take the robot or i could get 65.00 ..so i took the money and my total winning was 165!

--while i was in the contestants row, they told us that we were the 4 closest people to the actual price of the dinette set out of everyone in the audience (about 500-600 people!!) i guess watching price is right for years was worth it!

Well that was my exciting story for today---tonoight im going out to my bday dinner and im so excited!

have a great weekend everyone

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go Jen!!! Congrats on the $165! Is that Disney money?

Have a great weekend!

 

[gradtchr]

I would love to be on any type of Price is Right. I watch it whenever I can!!
Sounds like you had a blast and you won money which makes it even better YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

165 is going in the bank for my car payments!! im not able to wrok as much as the summer because of school so anything goes towards the car!

Tomorrow starts my "new" exercise and eating good...im going to try to post every day here to hold me accountable...i have just over a month till my vacation and my mini goal is 5 pounds to lose till then--i think i can do that- i would love to lose more, but i think ill leave a more realistic goal!

well time to go to bed--im exhausted! have a great week guys!

 

[gradtchr]

I understand the car payment issues. We are doing everything we can to pay off my Highlander

Good luck with the excercise tomorrow. You can do it!!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

[toystoryduo]

Jen,

Oh sweetie! I am so sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well lately. Are you going to see a doctor about the pain? I am sending some prayers and your way for a quick recovery.

Please take it easy until you know what's going on.

Have a good Wednesday!

 

[jay-nee]

How are you feeling? Better I hope. Like you said at least with the stomach pains, you won't be eating much. No really, are you ok?

I did exercise yesterday! I did 20 minutes on my bike. Thank God my DS reminded me.

Fill me in when you get a chance, 'kay?

Happy Wednesday!
