~*~ Confessions and Thoughts of a Girl Looking to the Future~*~

Hey Amba ... Thanks for stopping by:)

Law School has always been my dream since I was a little girl... and now its actually happenning. I know that I am extremely lucky to not have to pay for undergrad or graduate school myself... I really honestly could not imagine having to do that! I also plan on getting a phd in social psych (either though psychology or a sociology department) and eventually doing research on juvenile detention centers and such ... but that's way down the road. I'm currently gonna go for tort or corporate. One program I'm going to apply to at Northeastern I can get my masters in law policy and society and my JD in 4 years.

Have you thought about going to law school part-time... Like taking a night class or two a semester? I know it takes much much longer to do ... and of course still costs money... but it would help you work towards your dream. Keep your dream alive... someday you'll be able to achieve it!

Morning Jenna,

just dropping in and trying to rid of some of this water before I start working out. (You know how much of a pain in the arse it is to be working out, then suddenly have to stop to run and go pee? Sheesh.. haha)

So I read your "family rant." Believe me, I'm there with you. I worry about my father almost every day. He has diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, overweight, hypertension, etc etc etc. It bums me out knowing that the diabetes is taking a toll on his circulation. (leg region) It's difficult being away from my family and there isn't much that I can do. I've tried crying to my father, wishing he would take care of himself. (A bit difficult to do when I'm on the larger side also, you know? Pot calling the kettle black ordeal.) I guess another reason I want to get to a healthy weight (I hate saying "losing weight." haha It gives me a complex.) is because I want to surprise my dad (during Christmas possibly.. it's still in the works) and let him know that I really mean business. I'll probably pull the "I want you to be around for grandkids card" as well, since Sean and I will be trying possibly next year or so.

All in all, stay strong, Jenna. Hopefully your parents will see your determination/ weight loss and use that as an example to change. If you ever need to rant, heck... I'm here! haha

Quote of the Day

Life must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward ~ Soren Kierkegaard
 
I don't know what's wrong with me. I see the date a jillion million times a day ... yet I never know the date:mad: Which now leaves me having to complete an assignment instead of going to the gym before class. At least I realized I needed to do the assignment before it was too late to get it done. My feet are really sore (all the work on the treadmill is doing a number on them) so maybe they need a day to rest.... gotta find the positive somewhere:)

Sheryl: Thanks for stopping by! Your always sooo upbeat ... I LOVE it:jump:
With all the water i've been drinking I feel like I've been peeing constantly!!!!!
At least my mom tries to take care of herself...she eats really healthy and makes attempts to exercise... she just can't... RSD has just taken over her body and the narcotics she has to take to just be able to function at all is breaking her body down... its really sad to watch :(

So no gym today... I'm gonna feel guilty but there's worse things in life... if I get to school slightly early I'll try and take a walk around campus (its a large campus).

Breakfast: cheerios (no milk, no sugar, just plain ol' cheerios... my favorite breakfast LOL)

Well have a good day everyone
Hopefully a happy and upbeat one

I had some time before I had to go to class so I decided to walk around the corner.....

It turns out its 1.04 miles according to mapmyrun.com.... and I did it in 16 minutes and 44 seconds... at the gym I've been averaging about 20 minutes a mile on the treadmill... however, that is on the hill setting

I'm glad I did that instead of sitting on my ass for my extra time... now i'm proud and not guilty:jump:

Now I have to find somethign to eat LOL
 
Just stopping by to see how you are doing. Good job getting a little exercise in today. It's these little things that add up over time to help you towards your goals.

Hope you have a great day.

Griff thanks for stopping by... I was soo proud of myself ... If this were the past I would have taken the spare 20 minutes I had and sat on my ass... but no more... I hadda get some sort of exercise.

I think I'm starting to like the new me.
For all those who qualify there's a new club for those with 100+ to lose. Come join:jump:

Food today:
Snack: yogurt
Lunch: turkey and provolone on a wheat roll... barely ate any of the role
Snack: sugar free jell-o
Dinner: multigrain pasta with sauce and cheese, and these spinach and artichoke thingies... they kinda looked like chicken nuggets ... they were really yummy

With dinner I didn't finish my plate of spaghetti AND I only ate 3 (this was 1 serving) of the spinach nugget thingies even though they were really yummy:)

Have a good night everyone

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get myself to move from walking on the treadmill to jogging? I can't seem to break outta the walkign motion... I'm like scared I don't know why??

I could probably cover so much more milage and start going faster...

Jenna!! Hi :)

So after seeing you on here so much, I cant believe this is my first time looking in your journal! At least.. I think it is. haha.
You are doing awesome. See, Im still in the phase where if I had 20 minutes to myself.. Id still just sit around.
Im working on it though. Im glad you're so determined! Its awesome.

May I point out something else?

You know how we weigh the exact same right now?

Haha, it just so happens we have the same birthday! Happy birthday to us!

(In 43 more days!) You're just a couple years older. :D

Hey Kari... Thanks for stopping by... I love the company here its great to knwo people are listening (reading)

HaHa... We share a birthday:jump:

This year is an exciting birthday... I graduate from college 2 days before... my family is coming up here and its all gonna be about ME ... HAHA
I just have to try and not eat like I used to when we go to all these tempting restaurants!
 
..

Yeah, special occasions can be dangerous when it comes to eating right.

I lost 40 lbs a few years ago and after new years eve... I went into my old lifestyle again after I had a bit of chocolate! So sad. :(

Im glad this birthday is going to be good for you!

Im scared about mine. I dont know if Ill be able to go visit my old home on my birthday.. it depends on the starting date for school. It may be hard to work around school and my job in order to be able to visit my best friend on my birthday. I dont want to celebrate it here. I hate my new town and dont know anybody.. seeing my best friend is all I want for my birthday. Its the best gift I could get. :)

xo
 
Maybe if you can't go there she can come and see you:)

I'm sure you can find a way to work it out... Its your birthday... you gotta find a way to make you happy:) Its your 18th right?
 
O0oo Sorry... we'll find a way to make it happy for you:)

Keep thinking positive!

Dammit my family is going to think a space alien came and abducted me and placed a strange replacement here with all this Positivity :)
 
I just told my b/f that people tell me I have a positive attitude and he looked at me like I was INSANE!!!

and then he shrugged and said I guess you have been more possitive HAHA!
 
you've certainly been positive for me so far! (yes , so far as in two whole posts.... but seriously... ur great!)
 
Thank you Carey... I'll help in any way I can:)

Yes I do have a wonderful boyfriend... and I am extremely LUCKY for it. It will be four years in september. He's the only friend I've made since I've moved to Boston... besides a few aquaintences (spelling?... its getting late). Pretty pathetic huh?
At least I have him... we pretty much have our life planned out ... we're both gonna go to law school next year:)
