Way to go Jen, 3 miles today. You can do it!

Good luck on the job search...something will come up!

Hope you are having a great day!

Your pix were great. In only 2 months time I could tell a big difference between the May & July pix. Both you and your husband look great. Can't wait to see mid August updates!

[joelyfaithsmommy]

OMG I DID IT!!!

I walked 3 miles today!!! My heels are bloody, but I did it none the less!

I can't believe it!

doing the happy dance

 

[Mykelogan]

3 Miles!
That is awesome Jenn!!!
Rest those poor heels though! I don't like the sound of em bleeding!


Have a great night!
Mike

hi all MORNING!!!

wow, what a day yesterday!!! I walked 3 whole miles!!! i'm so proud of myself!!! the last quarter mile I almost jogged it (very very very fast pace)...my heals are a mess, but lesson learned...don't wear those shoes again

so since my heals are in such bad shape I'm not going to push it and walk the 5k saturday...i'm probably not ready yet anyhow, there's another in a couple of weeks, I think I'll keep "training" and do the next one

besides our niece Josie wants to come spend the night with Joely tonight, and I don't think Gator would like to be left with her tomorrow, she's TWO HANDFULLS!!!

so it's FRIDAY! YIPPIE....I was down another pound this morning...man I'm just DYING for a good loss....like 3-4#, that would be AWESOME...I mean all at one time...but I'll take what I can get! 1 pound lost is better than 1 pound gained!


ok, off to start my day, going to eat a cereal bar, maybe two for breakfast because it's what I have here! Lunch is a hc pizza and going to walk up to the cafeteria and get some fruit YUM

talk to you guys later!

Sorry, I haven't been by in awhile. I think you are doing great! Who wouldn't want to see 3-4lbs gone in a day? But realistically, it doesn't normally happen. As long as you are losing, you know you are going in the right direction. Look at it this way, you have already lost almost 15% of what you want to lose altogether. That is great progress!

I'll venture to guess that you are fitting into smaller clothes already. A great way to "free" yourself is to pack up the "too bigs" right away and get them out of the house. It feels sooooooooooo exhilirating. Almost like a burden off your shoulders. I have been doing it throughout this journey (have to do some more here in a few days) and needless to say, I am starting to have some empty closet and drawer space. All the better to fill when I reach my goal.

Take care of your feet. Those are very important. I know how hard it is to find shoes you can walk a good distance in now-a-days.

Have a great day of losing!

Heya Jen!!

I think you are right on about your heels needing healing! The next 5K will be there for you and you will be making sure you don't hurt your heels more!

so it's FRIDAY! YIPPIE....I was down another pound this morning...man I'm just DYING for a good loss....like 3-4#, that would be AWESOME...I mean all at one time...but I'll take what I can get! 1 pound lost is better than 1 pound gained!

You are spot on here! It is better than one gained!!! Or even better than none lost! So kick up your heels! (hehehehe!) and celebrat!!


have a happy & healthy day, and a fun night with the niece!
Mike

 

[eeyore25]

Way to go Jen!!

Take a day or two and rest the heels. You don't want to make anything worse....

Hope you are having a great day! I know you are going to have a big loss here anytime!

Keep up the good work!

Forgot to mention. Yes, I have a Gran, but no Budah. My sister and I nicknamed my father's parents, Gran and Gramps, so that we could distinguish them from my mother's parents, Grandma and Grandpa, whom we lived with for most of our childhood.

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

BREAKFAST: 1 strawberry cereal bar

LUNCH: HC pep pizza (french bread style) + 1 c fresh bing cherries

[Mykelogan]

Hey Jen!!
Great job on keeping up with those good food choices and your exercise! I need to get my exercise on track, this was not a good week at all!
Oh, I think the spelling you are looking for is "teriyaki"
Hope you have a great healthy weekend!!

Mike

[Zela]

ended up having a few lf/lc tortila chips last night and some salsa, as well as a 1/2 c ff frozen yogurt.

i was really hungry after dinner, so decided since i was TRULY hungry i'd go ahead and have something.

guess it didn't hurt, cause I'M DOWN ANOTHER POUND this morning!!!

Yippie yay!!!!


i'm super pumped!!! 25# clippie HERE I COME!!

HAVE A SUPER DAY!

[goldcupmom]

That's AWESOME!! Congrats! Another one bites the dust!

It is one of the most fascinating things about this journey (althought I'm not doing a good job of it right now) that if we will listen, our bodies will tell us just what we need. Mine kind of shouts "Shut up and LISTEN, STUPID", but it can work well.

Have a great weekend at home!!

 

[Mykelogan]

Yay Jen!!!!
Another pound gone forever!!!
Seems like all that "swimming" is really working. You will be at that new clippie in no time!!!

Have a happy & healthy day!
Mike
