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

[kimwim8]

Hey Jen - I'm so glad you got to be with Alyssa yesterday. I think it was a good thing for her AND you!

Let that cry out. It'll help - I mean it.

Take care of yourself & don't get run down. We don't want you getting sick.

Thanks Kim and Tracy!
It just seems like everything happens at once..i still am staying up til midnight to do homework since i cant sleep..i have no time to fit exercise in, and its driving me crazy! but at least, i am not gaining! I am drinking water and eating decently so at least i can do that!
Hopefullywhen the semester ends, i will be able to start working out again!

Heres the plan for today--I have a party for my field experience class! We made cupcakes and brownies...have goodie bags for the kids and a gift for the teacher--its going to be a great day! Then, we are going to the travel agent to pay for our airfare for the cruise...we got it down to 301 from philly to san juan so im happy! (it started at 500!!)

Tomorrow-i have class, work, then i have to bring home a child from my class and babysit him for an hour til his mom gets home...THEN my cousins and i are recruited by grandma do dye the eggs since we have been doing it since we were 5!)
then its friday!
Thanks for your prayers for Alyssa--Ill be calling her later this week to see how she is feeling and will give an update!

have a great day

Hi, Jen! Just wanted to pop in and say "hi". Good job on getting your water in and maintaining your weight, even with all that is going on in your life. Your niece is absolutely adorable! You are a wonderful auntie! I know the next week is going to be stressful as you try to wrap everything up before vacation, but just keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel!
Have a great day,sweetie!

Hey lady...I'm sure you're gonna have fun today! Enjoy those kiddies...they make us forget our troubles (sometimes ).

Take care of yourself, and I'll talk to you soon. Please don't stress about not exercising. You have much more important things to focus on right now. Exercise will come...

I know you're frustrated not working out....I can relate. Hang in there....we're all pullin for you and Alyssa. You are getting your water in, and you are eating right.....that's enough for now.

Extra prayers and pixie dust for Alyssa.

Good Morning!!
Its been a crazy busy couple of days! Todays plan is to clean my room and do some homework..and also a friend of mine that i havent seen in months is coming over!

Im not having a good few days with eating...i know my exercise was going to be off til things calm down here..but my eating has been soooo off! its horrible and i know it..i guess im using food to try to control something,,,since everything else is horrible around here!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

I'm not gonna call you to wake you up for working out til after your trip. After that.....you're gonna get it!!
