Jenn's Diary

Hey Jenn-

You've done well since the last time I stopped in...you might feel like you're stuck at that 167-8 mark, but look how far you've come. My progress has been much slower than yours (hint of jealousy), but I think we're all doing so well!

Keep with it!

Jen
 
The dreaded plateaus. Seems that everyone experiences those. I haven't had a real one yet, so I'm nervously awaiting it... But you're doing great. It's awesome that you went out playing basketball and running around with the little one. That's got to be a good workout!
 
Thanks everyone for your support. It has been a very trying couple of months. I don't want to give up. I will keep trying to lose. It's kind of weird - some days I feel great, and some days I feel just as big and bloated as I was before I lost the weight. I don't get it.

Thought I would give the Sacred Heart Diet a shot. Wishes did well with it. I will expect a bit of a gain back, but it could be the motivation of the scale going down that helps me get back on track. I'm not fond of tomatoes, so hopefully I'm able to get the soup down. Not too sure how I will fair on the day with beef and tomatoes. But hey, it's only 1 week. I can torture myself for one week. Maybe I'll find a new love for tomatoes :eek:

Anyhow, TGIW. Trying to stick with the points. Didn't do too badly yesterday, and I already have my meals planned for today. Should be able to come in around 19 pts, with 1-6pts to spare.

I need to get back into the walking routine. The weather here has been so hit and miss, it has been discouraging. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful, so I'm hoping to get the same sorts of activities in, as I did last weekend. We will be heading back to Tot Gym tomorrow night. It has been cancelled the last 2 weeks, so my son is realy looking forward to getting back.

Breakfast: oatmeal, black coffee - 3pts;
Lunch: tuna - 2pts;
Supper: Alpine melt, corn, noodles - 13pts;
Snack: apple - 1pt.

I believe that is all for now. Take care.
 
do post about how you get on with the sacred heart diet - im really interested in giving it a go and would like to se ehow somebody else fares with it.
glad youre able to get your workout in tomorrow xx
 
I've heard good things about the Scared Heart diet. It doesn't seem starvation-ish like a lot of diets. Good luck with it! Your food for today sounds great too.
 
Looking forward to a great weekend. Tonight we have my husband's year end staff party. Saturday we're planning on picking upthe hound dog and taking our son for a hike. Sunday I'm going to try to get out biking with my son again. Either go to the soccer pitch or the playground. The weather is supposed to be beautiful, so I will take advantage of the out-of-doors.

I am also starting the Sacred Heart diet tomorrow. Hoping it goes well. I just keep thinking of the positive, and that hopefully I will be moving the ticker way down next week. Best thing is that the Easter chocolate is pretty much all gone now, so no chances to slip up. Also if I'm out of the house lots this weekend, it will also make it easier not to constantly head to the kitchen.

Tot Gym was pretty good last night. My son loves it! No longer afraid of any equipment.

Breakfast: cereal and black coffee - 4pts;
Lunch: tuna - 2pts;
Supper: what ever they are serving at the BBQ.

Have a great weekend everyone! See you Monday!
 
Good luck on the sacred heart diet. I hope it gives your scale a swift kick in the ass. Enjoy your hike too. that's something I don't recall ever doing, but would like to get into it later on maybe.

Have a great weekend. I have a yardsale planned for tomorrow, so I have to do some things to get that ready when I get home later.
 
Well I started SHD Saturday. Haven't lost a darn thing yet. The soup is actually not too bad. I'm even able to manage the tomatoes in it. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow. If I don't lose anything this week, I'll be pissed. Not because I wasted my time on it, but because I'll have to listen to my husband making fun of the diet.

I have found that I have been peeing a lot, but surprising the BMs haven't increased. An upside to statring this weekend, was that I didn't have my regular weekend gain. So perhaps tomorrow I will be showing a loss. Haven't really felt deprived. I've been sticking to the diet. I haven't cheated, alothough yesterday I really wanted to. We were over at my in-laws in the afternoon, enjoying the sun, and I declined an alcoholic beverage. Boy did I get strange looks. They know I don't drink a lot anymore, but it was a beautiful day and we were chillin on the deck. Drinks, deck and sun all seem to go together. Then while we were getting supper ready, my husband and son were munching on chips. It was driving me crazy. But I stuck to my guns and will reap the rewards!

Saturday I felt alright because if I had a craving for sweet, I was able to eat fruit. Sunday was a struggle, because I kept wanting to eat fruit. Today should be okay, because it's veggies/fruit/soup.

I'll keep you all updated.
 
It's going pretty well I see. It's definitely a positive thing that you don't mind the soup. It's just way too hard to do a diet if you find the food disgusting. I've heard a few people say now that they don't feel like they're depriving themselves when they're doing the Sacred Heart Diet, which is a wonderful thing. I'm sure that you'll definitely see a drop in your weight by the end of the week! Looking forward to hearing about it.
(I was really loving this beautiful Ontario spring weather until about 5 mins ago when the sky exploded! ARGH! hopefully it's just a quick shower.)
 
Hey Jenn, How's that SHD working for ya now? I'm sure if you keep it up for the full week, it will kick that weight loss into a jump start. Don't focus on the daily number. Put that scale away until the end of the week if you can.
 
Sorry to let you all down, but I have officially dropped out of the SHD.

Too many things stacked against me this week. I realized, after not losing anything and getting crampy, that I start TOM next week. That would explain lot of it. I ran out of soup yesterday, as well.

To top it all off, my Aunt passed away early yesterday morning. I found out at work as soon as I got in. She was very sick. Had been battling cancer for a long time. So being the emotional eater that I am, I didn't fair so well last night. It wasn't horrible binge, but it obviously didn't follow the diet. When I woke up this morning, I felt kind of lost. Didn't know what to eat. No soup left and I wasn't cooking chicken for breakfast. I may try it again when things settle down. I'll just have to make sure that I don't start close to my period.

Anyhow, just wanted to touch base with you all. I'm not sure how much online time I will get this week, witht he visitation and funeral. Take care, and I will drop in when I can.
 
So sorry to hear about your aunt, Jenn. That must be painful. I can see how that would certainly throw off your diet plan. Don't you worry. Just take good care of yourself this week. You've got plenty of time to try the SHD. I hope you're feeling alright. Take care.
 
So I was looking for a new pair of black pants for the funeral, and bought 2 new pairs and 1 new shirt. One pair of pants was a size 14 petite and the other was a size 12 petite. Size 12 - yeah!!. The top I purchased was a size 12. It felt very good and the shirt really shows how small my waste is getting - even though it is very soft and jiggly. I have always had a small waist and big bottom. It's nice to see my progress.
 
Hey, nice to finally drop in and say hello. :) You and I have about the same starting weight and final weight goals.
I really hope to make the progress that you have!
I hear you about the plateaus. They are very discouraging, but every plateau has a valley! Don't give up! You'll be glad you didn't.
 
So thurday night I was at the funeral home for the visitation from 5:15 to 9:00. I didn't need to stay that long, but I just felt I needed to be there for my cousins and the rest of the family. So no supper. Friday I missed lunch because of the funeral. Needless to say I saw 165 Friday and Saturday. Saturday I pigged out, and am now back to 168. So basically I need to get my ass in gear and get back on track. Planning on walking at lunch today, and hoping to get out after supper tonight - we'll see.

Not much else to report. Talk later.
 
So I haven't been by in a couple of days. Being busy, and have became somewhat consumed by Facebook.

I went for a jog Tuesday night, my husband thought I was crazy. I was gone for approx 20mins, my legs still hurt. Hoping to get out again Friday night, and hoping Saturday or Sunday. Trying to get myself ready for the 2007 CIBC Run for a Cure (supports breast cancer research). The run isn't until Sept 30th, so I think I have lots of time to train. I've printed a copy of the "Couch to 5km", as I managed to loss the other copy I had. I officially signed up for the run yesterday, and have already gotten monetary support from friends and co-workers. I don't know if I will be able to raise as mch money as my Aunt did last year, but I'll try like hell and do her proud.

Nothing else new in my life. And definitely no budge on the scale. I can't blame anybody but myself. I have been misbehaving.

Hope to catch up with everybody soon. Cheers!
