I am an early riser anyhow... DH needs to be out of the house by 6:20 for his commute and I need to be up before him so I usually get up around 5:15 on a school day.. It also gives me time to catch up on journals..In peace!!!!!

I am such a productive person in the morning, but am beat by night...

Well... I did 5 miles in 67 minutes today on the treddie.... it felt really good! I ran 3 and walked 2.... I am going to beat the Feb challenge!! I almost there!!!!

What a day yesterday was! The kids were NUTS!!!! It has to be a full moon! It seemed like everything I did took longer thna expected so by the time it was tredmill time it was right after dinner.. It was the last thing i wanted to do.. But I did it!!! I did 30 minutes of walking but upped the incline to 6, 7, and 8 at 4.5 MPH!!! Boy did I sweat!!!!

I did get a cool piece of mail.... Someone nominated me for Who's Who Among American Teachers!!!! I have to fill out the paperwork today! That is pretty cool!

I didn't set foot on the scale... I decided to wait for TOM to be done! I followed boot camp to a T!

Today will be a great day!

Hi Jen!

Congratulations on the Who's Who nomination! That is wonderful!

Way to go getting on that treadmill last night after a never-ending day at school! I remember those days quite well! Esepcially the days when recess was indoors and the kids could not expend all of that pent up energy. Those were the days we prayed even harder for an early spring!

Have a great day!

Hey, Jen! Congrats on Who's Who! How wonderful for you to get the recognition you so obviously deserve!
I really admire your discipline in getting up at 5:15 -- I can't even imagine it. 6:00 is early enough for me!
I am so glad to hear you are sleeping better. How awesome of you to have treaded the mill when you were so tired. We'll have to have a big celebration when you finally step on the scale and start to see the results of your hard work.
Take care!

Good morning!!!! I DID IT!!!! 2.5 lbs gone!!!! 166.5!!!! FINALLY!!!! Maybe this Oprah thing is really working!!!!

I didn't get the treddie in last night...I was extremely tired and a bit grumpy.(I know, no excuse!) I think the tiredness is a side effect of the upped dose of my med... I also got really queasy at 11 last night waking me from a sound sleep. Luckily it passed with in a half hour and I could go back to sleep!

Anyhow I have to up the ante on the treddie tonight to make up for missing yesterday!

Want to know what my food of choice is right now? Grapefruit!!!! I have been eating grapefruit at breakfast and then again at dinner for my 2 fruits and I can't get enough! Maybe I need the Vitamin C...

I have to co teach guitar class for the staff again today after school... It was a lot of fun last week and I am really looking forward to it this week too!!!

Here's to a great day!

Hi jen,

Congrats on the AWESOME 2.5 loss! That is incredible.

I have suddenly discovered I love grapefruit as well. I hated it as a kid. I would be completely happy eating it all day.

Have a great lesson tonight,
Beth

Wow, what an awesome thing, nominated for Who's Who, that is very cool! Way to go. You are obviously making an impact on your community! Keep up the great work!

 

[sarahsmom73]

TGIF! I am glad it is friday!

Guitar class with staff was a lot of fun!!!! What is neat is that they are truly appreciative of what you are doing!

I tried out a 12 sting guitar yeaterday and had a blast! I need one!!

I exercized for 36 minutes last night.. 3 miles running at 5mph! I was crunched on time and wanted to do at least the 30 minutes, but when I was only at 2.5 miles I HAD to finish to make it an even 3!!!!
Tonight I aim for my hour session and tomorrow and Sunday I will do my double session!!!!

We are getting ominous reports of a monster snow storm Monday and Tuesday.. Ominous because they are saying the interior, and we are interior.. The last time they said this (Dec 2003) we got 40 inches in 1 storm... I'll cry if that happens!!!!

Oh welll!!! Just proof mother nature is a woman! Stubborn and unpredictable!!!

Have a great one! Onward and Downward!

 

[toystoryduo]

40 inches of snow????? Wow! I am sending you tons of to help keep that snow away!

Jen, you are doing a great job with your exercise! Keep up the good work!

Have a great weekend!

40 inches of snow!! You need some real You have had too much snow this year! Where is spring?? I know there are a few weeks left...but come on...enough already!

Way to go on that exercise...I make deals with myself all the time...I start out thinking I'll just do half and then when half gets here...I push myself longer until I've done it all! One day I'm gonna catch on to myself

Have a great Friday!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hopefully its just the weathermen exaggerating!! its definitely time for spring!! have a great weekend jen, and awesome on the exercise!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! It's saturday! I don't have to rush out of the house! I can finish my cup of coffee!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh This is the life!!!! Sounds great, doesn't it?!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! "what do you mean either track of the storm means we will get nialed?!!!!" That's right folks... They are looking at 2 possible tracks of the monster snow storm and in both scenarios we look to get nailed... March is coming in like a lion!!!! I am looking for a way to escape!!!! Anybody wholives where it is warm have an extra room?!!!

All kidding aside... I am so glad it is saturday. It was a pretty decent week, but man was I tired! I had an awesome sleep (all night until 6:15). I really am feeling better. The edge is off! I actually feel good.. Yes, some things bother me but not to the same degree and not EVERYTHING... It is amazing how different my outlook is.. It is awesome to not be cranky most of the time.. It is awesome to have a good night's sleep again... It is amazing the things we take for granted. I know I my outlook has changed for life due to this...

I had an awesome 40 minute walk/ run last night... I ran 2 miles and walked 1 but on the walk I upped the incline to 8 and 9!!!! Talk about sweat!!! It felt good!!! I really do look forward to my treddie time!

Hopefully I'll be on more this weekend to catch up with everyone! I couldn't do this without all you! Besides, I need to come up with a new song!!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Did my 1st of 2 work outs this morning.. Walked at 4.5 mph with the incline at 7 8 & 9 for 30 minutes!


1 more to go!
