WHOOO HOOOOOO a suprise trip to Disney-I love it!! Have fun and enjoy every single minute (which I am sure you will)

Are you still recovering? I finally feel human again just kind of in a fog at times but that's par for the course (or so I am told)

 

[kimwim8]

You know I was just teasing you, right? About the pics/

Hope you have a GREAT day! Talk to you later!

Hey guys-
just wanted to vent a bit.. I started the journaling here in Decmeber of 2004 and i was about 150ish..Over a year later and i am still around the same weight...I mean, i am glad that i didnt gain anything, but im kind of discouraged about not losing much at all..what is wrong with me?!
Its just very frustrating...sorry for the vent this morning

 

[kimwim8]

Hey now, it's not time to get down on yourself!!

You are just getting over being REALLY REALLY sick. You know that when you're feeling better, you will eat better & exercise. That will get your weight moving again.

You are allowed to vent any time, too!! That's what we're here for!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Thanks Kim-
I guess it was just a let down...im tired of it!
So i am slowly getting to feel much better, so i think i am going to aim for starting to work out again next week...Maybe ill start by doing little things (crunches, and stuff like that) and then work up to actually using my machines again...i just dont want o get sick, but i am starting to watch what i eat, no soda, etc....

thanks!

 

[gradtchr]

I know how you feel, and it's frustrating but you are still doing an AWESOME job.

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady! Just checking in to see how your day is going. I'll be out tonight, but will check back at some point over the weekend. I hope everything is going well, and you're feeling well.

I like the idea of starting out easy with the workouts. You don't want to go all out & then end up sick again. You are good, you know what you need to do....and you'll do it!

GO JEN

Talk to you soon!!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Kim and Beth-
Thank you girls so much for your encouragement..i needed to hear that i guess!

Today has been...LONG! i slept in until about 10 and then did homework from 11-5:30..i was exhausted! Then i just sat and watched season 1 of grey's anatomy with my mom--i LOVE that show!
Tomorrow, the plan is to read10 chapters of a stupid book i have to read for my cultural anthropology ...other than that, i think i am just going to relax and be a bum..I have 2 more weeks until spring break and i am just counting down the d ays!
I will be starting slow work outs on Monday and then the following week i will be planning on the treadmill and cardio cruiser again...id like to get back down to the 140 area before i go to disney april 22..
have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Jen! Sorry about not being around this weekend. I haven't had a crazy weekend like that in a LONG time!!

(oh, and my internet crapped out on me on Saturday night...sorry about that too!!)

Hope your day is going well so far today. I will DEFINITELY talk to you later.

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Jen! I hope everything is ok with you....4 days with no post from you isn't like you at all!

Check in when you can....we MISS you!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

i was missed?!?!?!? WOOHOO-my goal has been met!
I was just having a couple of down days so didnt want to be whining so i didnt post for a few days....
Today has been a much better day! I had a great day in the class that i observed at today, it was wonderful and i really feel like im learning alot..
Tomorrow, i am hoping that school is cancelled if its going to be a nasty commute! After tomorrow, one more week and its spring break! i will be doing a ton of work, but its just a break no matter what!
Right now, im a bit stressed trying to figure out my plans for my summer classes..It looks like ill be in class Mondays and Wednesdays from 8am-10pm...LUckily, its only 5 or 6 weeks...and that will be 2 classes...my other class will be 3 weekends in a row (Fri 6-9, sat 8-4, sun 9-1)..plus work full time...im just feeling a bit stressed!

Ill get to journals this weekend--promise!

 

[gradtchr]

Man those are long days in class. I hope you get lots of breaks!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

i hope so too beth!
i have 4 more days of classes til spring break and it couldnt have come at a better time--im starting to get reallly stressed..i have a lot of homework this weekend, but dont even want to think about it right now, so looks like tomorrow is going to be a long day!!!
im hoping to get to journals today or tomorrow..have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Jen! I'm glad you have a fun night planned for tonight, to relieve some of your stress. Just think, in a year...you'll be done all this school stuff & on to bigger & better things! I'm proud of you for all the hard work you do with school & work, plus trying to live a healthy lifestyle. No wonder you're stressed!

Don't forget to take breaks & take care of yourself. You don't need to get sick for SPRING BREAK!!!

Talk to you soon!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Would you believe that i no longer have plans tonight?!
i was so looking forward to it, but my friends not coming home from college tonight as she has a ton of work to do to..so looks like tonight will be spent doing homework--what else would a 21 year old want to do on a friday night?! haha

See ya later--off to work!

 

[gradtchr]

I can't wait until our Spring break. One more week!!

 

[kimwim8]

Yooooooo Hooooooo
