Jenny's Weight Journal

Good evening all! Today was my weigh in day...but my time of the month is just now ending...so I'm moving my weigh in to tomorrow/wednesday just so that any extra water weight from it won't affect my weigh in. I am not sure how my weigh in will be. This past week as been crazy! For the first 2 days I did my sittups and other exercises but then I feel behind due to work and school. After tomorrow things should slow back down. Heck I might even do some sittups tonight still. I did manage to do 200 last night...atleast I am doing something. My Psych exam is tomorrow so after tomorrow afternoon things should slow back down some. I do have to work friday and saturday night. but I am not working in the morning friday which will give me time. And I think I have this sunday off too. So I think finding the time will be easier than it was this past week.


Is it just me or has the past 5 weeks gone by so damn fast! I am now in week 6!! I think this is the longest I have stuck with a diet and exercise plan. Maybe because it's working!! lol

Well I am going to do some more studying and exercise a little bit before bed. Night all!

Hey everbody! Well I weighed in this morning and I didn't lose any :( but then again I didn't gain any either:) Now with being so darn busy this past week I can understand why I didn't lose any weight. But on the better side of things. My mom asked me today if I losed anyweight this past week. I told her no. She was disappointed but then she was like did you gain any. I'm like no. Then she's like you gotta work harder. I was upset by this point I was telling her that this past week has been crazy. I have had no time to exercise. (although I have managed to do 200 sittups almost everynight) She then shocked the hell out of me when she said that she could tell that I had lost weight and have been exercising. Then she asks my dad if he has noticed it. He said he had exspecially in the tummy area! Wow!!!:) :D :eek: I couldn't help but smile :D


Well I took my Psych exam today. I think I did pretty well on it. (keep your fingers crossed) Now that my busy week is finally over I can get back to my exercises and my normal routine. Well I'm off to clean up my bedroom. TTYAL!
 
Isn't it great when others notice? You are doing such a good job, and have inspired me to do situps too. Although, I haven't been as religious about it as you have. I do like the feeling after I do them and my abs are sore the next day. :)

HOpe you did well on your exam.

Thanks! I love it when I do something and some takes notice of it. Makes me feel like all the effort is or has paid off!


And because of what my mom said to me today I decided to take more pictures of myself to see if I could see the differance. Check out my before and after post "Here Goes Nothing"

Good afternoon! It's been awhile since I have posted my exercises. So this is what I have done so far:

200 sittups w/ 4lb medicine ball (reps of 40)
~120 regular
~80 oblique

40 Pushups (2 reps of 20)
40 Butt Ups (2 reps of 20)

Various Toning Rope Exercises

40 Inner Thigh Squeezes (2 reps of 20)


That's all for now. I wanna try and make 600 sittups by tonight. I'm starting to slack in the sittup department. Well I have to get ready for class. TTYAL tonight!
 
well done on not gaining - it shows youve got your eating under control! also good on you for trying to pick the exercise back up - i know how you feel about being busy with college .. i had the same last week i just had so much work that i didnt have time to do much exercise and i ended up putting on a pound again so you did really well with your eating not to gain any!
have a nice day

Ya i am kinda suprised that I didn't gain any. When I am stressed I tend to binge. But now that I look back over this past week I realize that I wasn't binging. And that 9 1/2 hours I spent on my math homework paid off. I got a 100 on my homework and I had an Exam today over 2 chapters I zipped through it. I at first thought wait a minute I can't be done already I must have messed something up. So I went back and double checked my work and I was still down under and hour! I guess I did well on the exam...I am still keeping my fingers crossed on my Psych exam that I took yesterday..that one is making me nervous!
 
Exercise update:

I did 400 more sittups tonight so my total is now 600. I am back into routine!

Well that's all for now.
 
Good Afternoon!!! I thought this morning/afternoon would be a nice one here at home. But nope I was wrong. I got called into work. I just got home. I would of worked till 4pm but, I also have to work tonight so I got to go home and rest for a little while. Last night I managed to get my sittups back up to 600! I felt so good and happy that I have been able to get back into routine. diet and I got rigth back on. Most of the time I would stopped completely when I get sidetracked. But not this time. I have been side tracked once already in the I think the reason why I have been able to get back on track is because I really want this. I am ready mentally this time. I know I can get through this. People lately keep telling me when they hear how many sittups I have been doing. They are like "I don't have that kind of will power". I don't think it is about will power any more. I use to say the same thing and I will always blame my failure on not having enough will power. I have now realized that if you really want this and you are ready to face one of the hardest things ever to over come you will get through this. You will keep going and get through this if you want to. No one can make you do this. Yeah a doctor can tell you that you need to lose weight, and you can have family members tell you that you need to lose weight. But the only person that every can really tell you that you need to do this is yourself. When you are ready to lose weight you will. People go into this thinking that they will diet and the pounds will just drop off. (I know that's how I was for awhile) But it's not like this at all. Weight loss takes time. And for the weight to really stay off and for you to really make a lifestyle change it needs to take time. I have been down the weight loss road many many times before. At first things were good. I lost some weight. But the minute I got sidetracked I never got back on because I didn't want to do it any more. If you are ready mentally and if you really want this for yourself. You will get back on track and continue with your weight loss. Don't beat yourself up over a bad day or a bad week. Use that as motivation. It's good to have motivation. That's one thing that helps keeps us all going. If you have a bad week go into the next week and say "I know that last week was bad, but I won't let this week go bad too. This week will be good. This week I am going to continue on my journey through weight loss."




Ok I just reread what I had just typed. I read it to my mom to see what I had wrote. She explains to me that, that is will power. She told me that I was right on blaming weightloss failure on will power. But then she says that going into this mentally ready you have the right framing and foundation for will power. And then she told me "That's why I know you will finish this and be done with being over weight". I tell ya my mom suprises me at times. :) I know this is all confussing but that's alright I am understanding this.


Ok that's all for now. Sorry for any confussion.
 
Good Evening,
It feel so good to be home again! Taking a rest....then tomorrow I do it all over again. Work tomorrow night and sunday night. I haven't exercised yet. That's what I plan on doing next. I have been home for like a half hour so now that I got a little of down time in now's the time to go and work up a sweat! Tomorrow night we are supposed to get this ice/freezing rain storm...so who knows what is to happen. Well I am going to go start my sittups and other exercises! Be back later!

Thanks! I hope that I can beable to pick and number and lose it.


Funny story for all of you. This morning I was in the shower/getting dressed and was looking at my butt. To me it really looked smaller than it use to be. I go to my brother who was the only other person home and asked him if he thought my butt looked smaller than before. He like ya it does. So he started laughing at me for asking him such a question. Then we started to talk about losing weight and putting on muscle. We have both agreed that the reason for me not losing a lot of weight is because I have been slowly gaining muscle. Which is a good thing. I think I am losing "inches" or whatever the amount is in certain places more than I am losing weight. Which is a good thing too. I am currently wearing a pair of jeans that I wasn't able to wear when I started this and they are even starting to become kinda baggy on me. Well I am off to get some exercises in before my brother's champion ship 8th grade boys basketball game. talk with ya all later!
 
Hey everybody! just a little update. Today was my weigh in day. I dropped another 2lbs! I am now at 183lbs!!! That's 11lbs lost! I am so excited. My jeans are fitting less and less each day. Today I have dicovered that I can pull my jeans down off of my butt with them still zipped and buttoned! and then pull them right back up with no problem. So ya...I need to where a belt. I put on the size 13 jeans that I had boughten for myself 3 weeks ago. Before I couldn't even get them up over my butt. Now I can! It's just now I need to work on my thighs and gut a little more and I might be able to get them zipped and buttoned! I say probably in like 2 weeks I will have this. I am now in week 7. So I have now lost 11lbs in 6 weeks! Man this just keeps getting better and better as I go along!


here is a pic of one of my legs. you can see all the extra room i have in my jeans:






here is another picture of one of my legs. I am pulling on my jeans to show you how much extra matieral there is:
 
Congratulations! Very cool feeling when you HAVE to get new clothes...well when you are getting a smaller size anyway! :)

Keep up all the hard work, something is working!

You are going to have to be kicked out of the 180 club very soon it seems.
 
Hey everybody! I know it's been almost a week since I last posted. I have been quite busy this past week. Between school and work and attending my high school's basketball tourney games there seems to be no spare time. This week is my last week of classes, then next week is exam week (only 1 exam to take next week, everything else is done). After all that I will be offically on springbreak. I would be exercising right now, but this afternoon there was a blood drive going on at my school and I donated blood. I was told that I couldn't do much physical activity over the next few days. I am taking this very serious because I almost passed out while donating.

I was almost done donating and things were going fine. Then when she stopped the blood flow to the bag and walked away I started to get the shakes and felt really light headed. The guy working the 2 cots next to me looked over at me and asked if I was ok. I told him that I didn't feel well. He asked if I felt hot all over and proceeded to put the back of my cot down so that I was laying back. He then pointed a fan at me. And asked for someone to get me something to drink. My nurse finally came back over and finished up with my donation, but she made me sit there for another 10-15 minutes until she thought I was well enough to stand up. By the end of my donation (2 1/2 hours later) I had consummed 5 cups of O-J, 2 cookies, and 1 pepsi. And man does my arm hurt. But for my first time donating, it was a pretty good experience.

Well I will post later, I have some studying and homework to get done for tomorrow. Night!
 
Ok I know it's been awhile since I have posted. I have been quite busy lately. Let me fill you all in.

I have not gained any weight which is good, but I haven't lost any either. I am still at 183lbs. I am now on Spring break and I don't have class until the 27th. I have transfered schools and I am now going to a different community college. I am going to Major in PTA aka Phyiscal Thereapist Assistant. I will prob. graduate in 2-3 years with that degree. I haven't been feeling well for the past few days. I have been having these headaches that just won't go away. But yesterday and today I have been headache free. I am really wanting to get back on track with my exercising. The weather here is slowly turning nice. It will be 60 one day and then back in the 30's the next. Today it even got up to 70! I went on a walk with my dog this evening. I walked about a mile. (I even ran for a little part of it) I have also done some sittups today. 200 to be exact. And I might do another 200 here when I am done posting. So I think I am done with my side tracks for a while. No more I say no more! Summer is coming and I must keep going. I want to look my best for Easter. Pretty much both sides of my extended family haven't seen me sice Christmas so I'm hoping I will get some positive feedback. I only have 3 weeks to get my self looking even better. Wish me luck. I can use all the support I can get right now to keep me going.
 
I'm sure they will be pleasantly surprised to see all the progress you have made. Weather is being wacky here too.

Glad you are back on here. You've been missed Crunch Queen!
