[jay-nee]

Just a quick check-in today, I'm at the car dealership getting my squealing brakes looked at! Hopefully, it's not a big deal...

Sounds like you are doing so well. I took Wednesday off. I had a bunch of cooking to do, plus I was okay on my exercise minutes, so I figured it would be no big deal.

I'll check up on you tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hope nothing is too wrong with your car!!!! ill be doing my exercising tonight after work..ill check in when i do it...


another thing i forgot to post about..last night my mom offered to buy me coldstone creamery ice cream..now, i LOVE LOVE LOVE the ice cream there..i said NO woohoo

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Just a quick check in--i got in 30 minutes of exercise, bringing my total to 125 for the month so far..not to shabby!!!
Going to bed early tonight as i am feeling a bit run down..waking up to go see the 11am movie tomorrow--have a great weekend

 

[jay-nee]

Wow, no to your favorite ice cream is a HUGE step in the right direction. Wahoo!

I'll post on my board about my car... :-(

You are on a roll now my freind!

Happy Saturday!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

o jaynee--so sorry to hear about the car!!

i worked out for 25 minutes today--today was a busy busy day....My family and i got up and went to see Jarhead at 11am..was a great movie, very hard to watch at parts--i kinda wished that we saw it after steve came home..but i have a friend that is a marine and as soon as i got home, i sent him in a text message telling him i was sooo glad he was out of iraq!!
After that, i did a whole 10 page paper for one class that isnt due till DEC 13!! im so excited!
I then worked on another project that i am trying to get done before the trip...

next weekend i have another big paper to do, but then im done i think for the semester excpet for one paper which ill have to do when i get back!!

Tomorrow--i am relaxing since i did all of my homework today..im planning on laying around watching football

 

[jay-nee]

Good for you... Keep up your great work exercising regularly. You can do this!

Wow, you are on a roll getting all of your school work done. Wow, is all I can say! When I was in college, I always put it off until I had to do it!

Yep, it really stinks about the car, but, oh well, I can't complain my kids and I seem to be healthy and happy - so LIFE IS GOOD!

Enjoy your "lay low" day!

Happy Sunday!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

its sunday!! woohoooo.
i just finished working out and got 20 minutes in..i try to do small workouts on the weekends as this is more of my resting time, but i still want to get some in..
Jaynee--i really feel that this exercise thing with you is making a difference...even my parents have commented on how impressed they are with how i am doing...I cant believe how close the trip is!I am already noticiing my pants are fitting a bit looser..

I cant believe i am getting these papers done either! I try every semester to get my work done early, but i have major incentive this time..i want to be able to go on vacation and RELAX! and now i only have two more huge papers to write, and one will be done next weekend!

Thank you guys so much for encouraging me through all of this!

 

[jay-nee]

You already exercised! Man, I always exercise in the evening... so, you're ahead of me!

Yeah, I think checking in each day is definitely helping me too. So, let's not break sometime that isn't broke, ok?

Keep up the terrific work with school, you will be so not stressed on your vacation because of it! And that is so worth it! You GOTTA enjoy vacation, right?

Happy Sunday Jen!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Jaynee--i usually do exercise in the evening, but i wanted to be lazy today-so i told myself the one thing i HAD to do was exercise, so i got that done early..
There is nothing interesting going on this week--but my class is cancelled Friday!! i sitll have work, but i will be able to sleep in...im babysitting saturday..next week , the fun starts!!
have a great week

 

[frogmommy]

Hi Jen-

I had some time to read journals tonight so I decided to peek in on yours. Wow, this checking in that you and Jay-nee are doing for each other really seems to work well for you. What a great idea!

I'm so excited that your friend is coming home soon. We have several friends who have been in and out of Iraq and Afganistan. It's such a relief when they get home again.

Hey Jen!

You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

Have a great week!
