Jen's Journal........Time to Start Over (Feel free to comment!)

[Blueeyes101817]

Well, I have been posting on my old journal for a couple of years now and I think its time for a new start.
There have been many ups and downs, especially over the past few months, and im ready to go forward and start over.

For those that dont know me...Im jen and im 23 years old. I have a degree in education and am coteachign a 4/5 year old pre kindergarten class.
I have thyroid problems and have had 3 surgeries due to this. As a result, I have no thyroid and am on medication for the rest of my life. This medicine makes my weight fluctuate alot and makes it difficult for me to lose and keep the weight off.

So I have some goals for March....
-NO eating after 7pm
-Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
-Limit myself to 1 soda a week
-Begin going to kickboxing class at least 2x a week

Im going to start with those goals for now and may add more next month.

No eating after 7-
Drinking 8 glasses of water-
1 soda a week - good so far!
Kickboxing class--not a class, but did a tae bo tape

No eating after 7
8 glasses of water
1 soda a week-Nothing yet!
Kickboxing class-Today was my day off--was sore from yesterday, but it felt good!

Im feeling pretty good--I know the beginning is always the hardest, but the weekends are ussually the time i eat alot and I think i did pretty good.

My long term goal is to get under 150lbs--right now that seems like ill never get there-- i am at the highest weight ive ever been..so i had to start doing something!
