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

[kimwim8]

OK....I'm online....and WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?

hahaha

Sorry, I'm just jealous...you're probably sleeping in....

GET UP!!!

 

[jay-nee]

Quick check-in! Sorry I wasn't around lately. Too crazy busy (Helps to keep me away from the blahs myself!). I HATE winter....last winter all I did was complain and complain, remember?

I hope to bring my DS snowboarding soon! WAHOO! DD doesn't want to go this year.

DD turned 12 on the 21st and we brought her up to my DMs for a LONG weekend. It was a blast. We got to play with my little nieces (2 months and almost 18 months), yep, my sister is fostering a new baby! The older one had croup just before we went up so she was still not 100% but we still had a blast! It was nice to see my DM and not have to take care of her or her pets - THANK GOD!!!!!!!!

Talk soon, I have to jet and get my morning chores done...

BTW, you sound like you are doing so great with you eating. Keep up the GREAT work!

Happy Wednesday!

Good Morning, Jen!

Hope today is going well and you're busting the blues.

Sounds like you are still on track and taking it one at a time. That's good!

Have a great week!

Hi everyone!
I slept from 11 pm til 10am---i was exhausted...i think i may be coming down with something, becaue i feel like that tonight too--i am "skipping" my class tomorrow since i only have one and im hoping that i can sleep in and get over whatever i may be getting..
We booked the trip and i cant wait!!! how am i ever going to last until November!?

Im still in a blah mood--its horrible and i just cant wait to get out of it--January is almost over so maybe itll get better?

 

[kimwim8]

Get your rest girl!! Just wait til I have Jay call you EARLY to wake you up for a run!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

early?!?! u know i dont do early hahahaha

I was trying to think how i could do that running thing-there arent alot of sidewalks here and we dont have actual blocks--our "blocks" are about 2.5 miles haha
We do have a big backyard, so i am wondering if i can do it there--i just gotta get motivated.

I think im feeling a bit discouraged lately--i have been eating good and trying, but cant seem to lose any weight--i gotta get myself working out again but im getting to the point where i have been before..i get discouraged and give up...i need to get myself out of this rut!
sorry for sounding so down tonight

 

[jay-nee]

Hope things are looking up for you this morning! Yep, Jan is almost over - yippee! Spring is coming - I hope SSOOOONN!

Take care of yourself...


Happy Thursday!

[gradtchr]

How ya doing? How's your friend?

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Sorry for my random post the other day..ive had a rough weekend and im still a bit of an emotional mess tonight...
heres the update:

It was a blast--we had agreat time hanging out and just talking, but the weekend had some bad news in it as well.
on the first night there, she apparently had some sort of panic attack in the middle of the night and wanted to go home...She ended up staying and was supposed to leave Sunday night..
Sunday, during the day, we went bowling and she wasnt looking like she felt too good--They went to the airport and ended up not being able to board because she was shaky--the nurse called her oncologist and he said there were some things going on that she didnt know about...
Apparently, they found out on friday that her cancer has spread and there is now a spot on her pelvis..She doesnt know..
Since she didnt feel good, she didnt leave till late Monday night...
On Monday, the two of us went for a drive and we were just talking...i asked her why she wanted to leave and she told me "i just had a really strange feeling-last time i had that feeling, i was told my cancer was back..i just wanted to go home and see my mom" Now, i know what she doesnt know, so this completely broke my heart..
Im waiting to get a phone call when she does find it, but its been a rough couple of days--my whole family has been crying and we dont know when well see her again...

Now, you dont even want to know about eating and exercise....Exercise is down to nothing..i keep trying and i am just so emotionally and physically tired..
plus my whole family is sick...i cant stop coughing and im dizzy..so i am afraid to exercise like that..

eating hasnt been too bad since ive had no appetite...but it could be better....
SOO happy that tomorrow is february--this has got to b e a better month for me!

 

[gradtchr]

I most definitely will keep her in my prayers and a for you for being such a wonderful person and here's to Feb being a better month all around.

Jen,

I posted at your other journal, but I wanted you to know that I am praying for you. Take care sweetie!

 

[kimwim8]

Jen - focus on keeping yourself healthy right now, and taking care of those that you care about.

Your food and exercise will pick up when you're able. Don't be hard on yourself.

 

[keenercam]

Hi, sweetie. I just wanted you to know I am thinking about you so much. I am so glad your friend had the weekend with you and that you were there for her to talk to. I know this is a really difficult time for your family but it is wonderful that you have all reached out to another person and enjoyed time together. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Oh, and don't worry about food or exercise right now. Try to get yourself healthy and rested. You have so much going on in your life and nothing is as important as your well-being. Take good care, sweetie.

 

[goldcupmom]

, Jen!

I'm praying about your friend. Hard stuff for her and all of you.

I'm glad you had a good weekend even tho bittersweet.

Hang in there!
