JadeLynn's Weight Loss Diary

Cate & LaMaria...thank you so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me. I'm definitely feeling down about this, but I am glad that she did not suffer much, it was very quick. Also glad I was home when it happened. Much love back, thank you again for your thoughtfulness!
 
Besides a good workout this morning-5 mile run and 20 minute ab DVD. I sucked today. I could rant and say more..but why bother. The bottom line still the same...I let some things get the best of me and I was weak.
 
You are human & I don't know any perfect people. Give yourself a little love sweetie & I send you some of mine [emoji171] xoC

You weren´t weak: you ran AND you did an ab-workout! I fully understand the frustration of not getting things right but... what Cate said.
 
Would you tell someone else they sucked if they told you they ran five miles and did a workout? Nope! Be kind to yourself, and make tomorrow a better day.
 
Thanks so much ladies. Sometimes I feel like I have gotten in to this situation by giving myself too many 'do overs' and sticking my head in the sand as they say. But I do appreciate the love and send it right back!

Today was a little bit better, this week has been very busy so far at work and not the productive kind of busy, but the b.s. kind of busy..I never handle that well.

I went to give my fur babies their treat and out of habit I broke the pupperoni stick in to 3 pieces, but I only need 2 pieces now. Funny how we do so many things automatically. It is going to take some time to stop preparing things for 3 dogs, because now I only have 2.

Hope everyone is doing well and that I get out of this funk soon!
 
Time does heal JL. You always miss the ones you love, when they're gone, but I try hard to think nice thoughts of them, that make me smile. I also do that when I start worrying. I tell myself to stop & then picture something I love (usually my youngest grandson.) You can change your reactions, & it takes some effort, but is well worth it. xoC
 
It IS hard to find the right balance between being giving yourself a bit of a break and still being strict enough to reach your goals. It´s bit like your body is a whiny kid that wants sweeties. Giving it all it wants when it wants it is not going to make a healthy kid but if you love and respect your child you don´t start shouting and making them feel bad about themselves either! You find out why they´re feeling out of sorts and try to solve that underlying problem instead.
 
I think that is part of the problem LaMaria..I know why I feel out of sorts and there is not much I can do about the issue now.

I suppose accepting it, being patient and envisioning how things will be when it is all sorted out is all I can do Cate, you're right.

Hope everyone had a good day!
 
Very sorry to hear about your pet, Jade. They are family members and losing one causes grief.

Also, try not to beat yourself up too badly. I ordered what had to be a 1100 calorie dessert on Tuesday so we all do it. Emotions are the hardest part to deal with and when you emotionally eat, you then wind up having a further emotional reaction to that eating. A frustrating cycle.

Keep your chin up and keep working at things. Sometimes a little time is all it takes to feel better and start conquering the world again.
 
Hi there MrVee, thank you for your advice. You are right it is like a spiral and feeling badly for long periods of time because of that is not helpful.

I have been a bit down and that has certainly not helped with my motivation to lose weight. Thankfully I have not gained any, but still want to find myself in the 140s some time soon! My boss has been on vacation for 2 weeks and I thought work would be peaceful, but it was not.

I will go to the grocery store today and buy lots of healthy things so that I will have good choices in stock and if I can manage to lose 2 pounds this week (which should be so doable!) then I will be 148 and at least some progress will be made!

Hope everyone is doing well and making progress!
 
Computer problems have kept me from posting too much, although I did read some from my iPad. Using an older laptop now until I can get my other one fixed.

I had one of the worst days ever on Sunday and I am not sure why. Felt really sluggish on Monday and I thought to myself..not only do you not like the way that you look right now, but you don't like the way that you feel! I did force myself to run 5 miles and do a bunch of ab and arm exercises.

Yesterday was not too bad and neither was today which was good. There are cookies around, but since feeling so bad on Monday, I really didn't want any.

Did a cardio/weight DVD this morning. Think I will run tomorrow. I love it that it is staying dark a bit longer in the morning. I find it very peaceful to run just before it is really light outside. Cooler weather is on the way in the next month which will also help.

I was wearing a dress today (my knee is almost healed up completely) so after 2 weeks decided to give dresses a go again. I got a nice compliment about my legs and I admit that it was nice to hear some positive feedback. I am going to have the body I used to have and feel comfortable in my skin again, I just have to focus on remembering how nice it was to feel that way.
 
Do you do any speed intervals with your running? I'm finding those to be great for feeling stronger and more toned. If you're just going out and doing five miles at the same speed you might not be getting as much benefit from it as you used to. I'm also loving the darker and cooler mornings! Summer is hard for runners, fall is where it's at.
 
Hi Oaks...sometimes I do speed intervals when I run and I also try to do several other kinds of workouts throughout the week, weights in particular have helped with feeling stronger/more toned. The issue really is my diet.

It has been an okay weekend but very hot. I did have a pretty good run/workout yesterday, today I feel very tired. Lots of chores today so I better get moving. Hopefully I will get some more energy soon!
 
Here's you liking your hours of sunlight drawing in & her's me grinning as our days of sunlight increase. It's funny. I am sooo glad that our Winter is almost over! Good for you pushing yourself, when you just didn't feel like it. Well done JadeLynn xo Cate
 
Good to hear you're doing better Jade. Keep up the good work on the exercise. Those sprint intervals are great because they let you know you're working hard. They really let you know.
 
I've been popping in for the past few days, because we too have lost an old friend. Our black lab died last week and its tough isn't it? Every time I open the fridge, I still expect her to arrive hoping to get a bit of cheese.
