Hmm...baseball uniforms never did much for me. Now a football uniform--that's some yummy stuff. In fact, while I watched Mich get their asses beat Sat, I still managed to drool over some hot 18-22yr old asses and biceps..lmao

Both of you are sooo naughty... its not only about the uniforms for me... I love the game... I mean the uniforms don't hurt They just enhance the game for me... I was a hardcore player back in the day!!

Football uniforms don't hurt either Especially with all those pads on mMmmm!!

 

[Boam46]

Well... I bit the bullet and posted a before and inbetween thread....I'm not sure how I feel about it... but I did it

I love the game, too--well, football, that is. I don't give a rat's ass about baseball--unless the tigers are in the playoffs..lmao. I'm a fair weather tigers fan.

Hey Jenna
Just wanted to drop by and say "howdy"!
Meant to stop on your b-day and wish you the best, but dang if my 'puter didn't start acting up. So Happy Belated B-Day!!
Couldn't get back on line until late on Sunday.
I am so freaking proud of you!!!!
You girl are a true inspiration to me. Tomorrow when my alarm goes off and all I want to do is roll over and go back to sleep I am going to tell myself to get up and get it going on. If Jenna can rock out so can you!!!!
And what a goal!!!!
Woohoo! would it be awesome to go to Vegas. Dh would never take me because I'd probably end up selling the house!
Keep up all the hard work.
Until later..........

Well... I bit the bullet and posted a before and inbetween thread....I'm not sure how I feel about it... but I did it

Good Morning/Afternoon... or whatever time it be LOL

Last night was horrible... I was sick allnight long.
for this reason and the fact that it is gorgeous outside I went for a nice really long walk ... i did about 4.5-5 miles. I can't take the chance of pushing myself too far and getting sick at the gym.

I can't believe I have to weigh in on Saturday... it seems way too soon... we'll see how it goes.

Sheryl-- I'm sorry I made you cry... well maybe not... it took tons of guts to put those pics up... i don't see much of a difference since July.

I forgot all about the president's challenge in all my craziness and havn't been putting in any of the exercise I have been doing... stoopid of me... oh well I'm gonna start again today

I hope everyone is having an awesome wednesday!!!

Sending tons of love an hugs

 

[Boam46]

JENNA!!
Happy belated Birthday!! So much going on this weekend... Hope yours was stellar!
We all love before and after pics but not ones of our own. It's hard to look back because that's not the person you want to be anymore, but I think it helps to see how far you've come. Fantastic work on the size Large! I know it feels great to be able to walk into any store you want and pick out a shirt and not have to freak out about it not fitting. I hate that empty handed walk from the fitting rooms leaving all the stuff you couldn't keep buttoned over your boobs behind.
Well, it's back to work for me. I just wanted to stop in and let you know how proud I am of you. You're staying strong and focused. I'll pop in again later!! Have a great day!

Hey Emily... its great to se eyou around its been awhile! I still have that problem with my boobs... its literally the only part of my body that has not shrunk... I'm not liking it very much LOL

Not strange at all - I'd say it's very positive... that you like how you're looking and want to see now =0) you're working hard so why not - you're a pretty girl and should check yourself out

Thanks Mal... I guess its just totally strange for me... I never liked mirrors... now I want one... not a bad thing jut feels strange to me.

You can do it, girl! We're all behind ya all the way. And even if you don't make it all the way there, just coming close would be a HUGE accomplishment.

Yes that's very true... after buying all those cloths at lane bryant yesterday I realized I'm just a few inches away from wearing cloths in the teens... 3 months ago the thought of fitting into the teens seemed so far off... and now it'll be a reality soon! Its sooo great knowing I have all o fyou behind me consistently. A truly wonderful feeling Thanks guys

Now as far as the LSAT's go... don't frett it, hun. My advice to you is to purchase either the Princeton Review LSAT study guide or Kaplan. You'll do just fine... Love yas, chica....

-Sheryl

I have them all... tons of them.... I even took a Kaplan course before the first time I took the LSAT... I just have a lack of confidence in myself... I didn't even do horribly the first time... I scored in the 80th percentile... however, my score made me cry for a few hours... so I thought I'd give it another shot!

Thank you.... I never thought of myself as an inspiration to anyone... I come here to get inspiration but its great to know that I can inspire others!!

As for Vegas its even better because I get to gamble with Grandpa's money... LOL... its sooo awesome!!! I'm excited to go...hopfully i'll fit in the plane seat

Hello Everyone!!!

Its great to be back here... i totally miss you guys while I was gone!

I made it to the gym today... and I totally rocked it. This break from there has done my body good. I did an hour on the elliptical for 4.5 miles (that's a lot for me) and I wasn't even tired/worn out when I was done. Then I was on the bike for about 15 minutes.Then I did my ab/core workout. Then I went to do my upper body workout. I'm in the room doing my thing for 15-20 minutes and a trainer comes in with his trainee. It became apparent quickly they were friends they were loudly and obnoxiously joking around and then the trainer's cell phone kept going off. It was totally annoying I had to leave i couldn't take it. I don't care if they joke around just do it quietly there's no need for the whole place to hear what's going on. When i'm working out I'm in the zone... the cell phone is what really pushed me over the edge. There are 50,000 gajillion friggin no cell phone signs hanging aroudn the place...and I've seen them make people get off of them. However, his kept going off on the ringer and he kept answering it. I just got fed up... I dind't say anything I just went on my way... I was really annoyed... i may have been irrational but they were distrubing me LOL. I also began and finished my workout with stretching. I was there for about 2 and a half hours. It felt really great.

I was trying on all the pants I bought (well the ones i thought would fit me) and one pair i thought was a 20 turned out to be a 18 and it fit me with ease... it has an elastice waistband but hey its an 18 and it fit me nicely That counts doens't it... I'm most certainly not ready for jeans in an 18.

I figured out I have about 75 days until I leave for vegas and I would like to lose about another 45 pounds... that's a big goal... I'm not gonna be sad if i dont' make it... I'm just gonna try my hardest.

Food for Today:

Breakfast: whole grain multigrain waffles plum
Lunch: chicken and bean burrito (last nights leftovers even better the next day)
After Gym: Banana
Dinner: Chicken Breast stuffed with spinach, feta, garlic, and onion, seasoned really well, homemade garlic smashed potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes sautee's in a balsamic reduction for on top of the chicken .... yes I made it all myself I felt like tooting my own horn LOL
Snack: Peach

I hope everyone's having an awesome day... if I havn't made it to your journal yet i'm really sorry i'm really trying to catch up!

Lots of Love to everyone

well done fitting into size 18, it won't be long before your fitting into 18 jeans

 

[bikinibound]

The cell phone at the gym would've annoyed the hell out of me, too! So rude. But you worked it anyway. I'll bet you're gonna lose tons of weight in the next week. I agree that your break will probably help you immensely.

Your chicken dinner sounded so fantastic, I was drooling when I finished reading it. YUM! I would be proud, too if I had cooked something that yummy. Are there any leftovers? B/c I'll be right over if there are!!

Go you! getting into the teens clothes-wise. What an accomplishment.

 

[niapage]

Howdy Jenna,
Wanted to stop by and say hi and congrats on your progress so far!Are ya enjoying the water ?I hope you feel better and walking is the way my fave enjoyable exersice that is the best for dropping lbs.I love your pics you posted you can see all your hard work paying off,you look great and HAPPIER ...Have a gr8 weekend,Tammy

 

[SoSel]

Yeah, that cell phone would have driven me nuts too. I have this friend who's always on a blue tooth and it drives me nuts. We'll be talking, and he'll make the "one minute" gesture, and start talking on his phone. If I miss the signal, I keep talking. It's embaressing. And I hate accidentally talking to people in bathrooms b/c you think they're talking to you.

Blah. Technology.



Love ya too, girl!

well done fitting into size 18, it won't be long before your fitting into 18 jeans

Thanks... I can't wait... I hope its really soon!!

I can't believe how fast these sizes have gone down. I don't even have to worry about loose skin because my grandmother said... you're young so most will tighten up and whatever needs to be fixed will be fixed. Meaning she'll pay for me to get myself fixed up. I was gettign worried about dropping sizes so fast but now I'm not

The cell phone at the gym would've annoyed the hell out of me, too! So rude. But you worked it anyway. I'll bet you're gonna lose tons of weight in the next week. I agree that your break will probably help you immensely.

I hope so! I think the weigh in tomorrow won't be that great maybe a pound or so. I'm not sure how I lose weight on a weekly basis because I usually dont' weigh in this fast. I think I stay pretty steady for a week or so and then suddenly drop... we'll see.

Your chicken dinner sounded so fantastic, I was drooling when I finished reading it. YUM! I would be proud, too if I had cooked something that yummy. Are there any leftovers? B/c I'll be right over if there are!!

Only PJ's ... he said he didn't like it much. Too much feta... I loved it... he's just not used to food cooked like that Oh well...i'll enjoy it and he can not... doesn't bother me

Hey Tammy... thanks for stopping by. I'm certainly enjoying my water... I've been drinking water like this for awhile and it feels great!! Walking is wonderful especially in warm weather with a cool breeze... its soo lovly.

Thank you... i was soo scared to post them!! I hope I have new ones to put up soon

Blah. Technology.

What's even worse is he's one of the head trainers... he should have known better UGHH!!!... Yea I hate being mid conversation with someone and then all of a sudden their on their phone with someone else ... I feel like an ass LOL



Love ya too, girl!

Lots of Love Everyone!

 

[maleficent]

. And I hate accidentally talking to people in bathrooms b/c you think they're talking to you.

I will never understand when it became socially acceptable to talk on the phone while in a bathroom - especially a public restroom - it's disgusting - there is NO call that can't wait a few moments while a person pees, flushes, washes their hands and exits...

 

[CatsMeow]

There's a woman that works on the same floor that goes into the girlie's room specifically to talk on her cell phone. Public potty time is quiet potty time. I don't need to hear about your daughters domestic issues, or what concert you're going to this weekend. Sit down, pee, wash your hands, and get out. Whatever ignoramus thinks it's ok to have a cell phone on where cell phones are clearly not welcome, gym and restroom included, need to have it shoved down their throat. I sound like an angry person, don't I?

I figured out I have about 75 days until I leave for vegas and I would like to lose about another 45 pounds... that's a big goal... I'm not gonna be sad if i dont' make it... I'm just gonna try my hardest.

I have a masquerade ball to go to the last Saturday in October and I hope to lose close to 20 more pounds by then, so best of luck with your Vegas goal! We can do it!

 

[Boam46]

How's everyone doing?

I'm feeling really good these last few days. The studying isn't off to a hot start but I'm really working on it.

I got to the gym today. After an hour on the elliptical I tried out an arctrainer. Boy is that a friggin beast of a machine. However, I decided I love it enough to master that big boy and make it my bitch

In addition to all that cardio, I did pre and post workout stretching, ab workout, and lower body. All for a total of about 2 hours and 15 minutes.

I also got exercise first thing this morning dragging all the trash up the hill. Hadda whole bunch this week... we missed the truck last week due to graduation activites. My god it was quite a workout, 4 trips up our little steep hill with heavy bags n' boxes

I hope everyone's having an awesome day!

I guess weigh in is tomorrow... I'm very very nervous
