Jenny's Weight Journal

Glad you are back on track. My boss is a member of Curves, but she never goes so I can't add anything about it. :)

So how many sit-ups today?

Glad I'm back too. 100 so far today...don't want to go to fast with the sittups quite yet. Will up it in a few days. Better to pace myself for now...I will eventually get back up there with the sittups...give me time :D
 
Well I stopped by Curves this afternoon. I am doing a 1 week free trial thing first to see whether or not if Curves is for me. They have a summer special. first 3 months free for new members. This is what they told me. I would pay 158 for the membership instalment thingy. Then it would be $44 per month after that. So it would be 158+(44x9months)= $554 for one whole year. That is a lot of money. I am going to take my 1 week free and try it out but I am not sure if I can afford such a membership. I might be better off at the YMCA. Well I gotta go into work here shortly. ttyl!
 
Well today at curves I had my body measured. Curently iam 67% body fat! Now that is scary. But scary in a good way i guess for me. It's just one more reason why I need to lose the weight. And plus I expected it to be high so I am not all the freaked out. If I was told this before this past January I would be so freaked. Now I am ready to change it. I am going to Curves tomorrow after work to do a run through. I get 1 week free so I might as well use it right? If I don't like it I don't like it. But I need to atleast try.
 
Ok my exercises for today has consisted of:

1 mile walk with my dog =) took about 15-20 minutes
100 sittups (2 reps of 50) used my lovely gymball
20 pushups using my gymball
20 inner thigh squeezes using my gymball
20 what i call "butt ups" using my gymball
using my toning rope i did 4 different arm movements 20 for each movement

Now for eating...i haven't been as healthy as I should be...starting tomorrow no bad snacking and over eating...the whole diet thing always gets me.

Well that's all for now. Gonna surf the site a bit.
 
Hey all i just wanted to stop in and wish all of you a Happy 4th of July! Things have been kinda crazy for me at the momment. The transmission in my car died last friday so now i have no car and now i am working a lot to pay for a new car or to fix my current one.

I have decided to put all guys on hold for the momment. I had a bad night at the drive-in...my best friend and her bf set me up on a "blind date" lets just say it didnt' go well.

Well other than that things have been going great. Hope all of you are enjoying the 4th and all of it's festivites. I am going to see some fireworks tonight with my parents.

Talk with all of you later...i really need to start posting more....along with a few other things i need to get back into habit with.
 
Hey all! I have decided to call today Day 1. I am starting compeltely over with my weight loss. I will count my lbs already lost but i am giving myself a new starting weight. Before my starting weight was 194lbs. I am currently at 183...it tends to bounce between 179-183 but lately it has been holding at 182-183. By the end of the summer...or before i go back to school i want to be down to 163lbs. I start school in September so i have about 2 1/2 months. I think i can do it. I have been working a lot so that keeps me busy but i need to stop sleeping in so much and get up a little early in the morning and go for a walk when it's not very hot like it is durning the day. My sister's "new" bf had lost like 30lbs about a year ago....he is a hunk. :p he drinks about a gallon 1/2 of water daily...I don't think i can manage that much water in one day but I am going to start drinking more water...giving up pop once again...that nasty habbit seems to be a returning into my daily routine. I am also going to watch more closely to my portion sizes when I eat and watch what I eat. I am not going a on specific diet because I find it hard to follow one in my current busy life.


I have done some exercising today. This is what I have done:

200 sittups with my gymball....going to reclaim my tittle as the Queen of Sittups

40 "butt ups" using the gymball
40 inner thigh squeezes using the gymball
40 push ups using the gymball.

Since my car broke down on me I am walking to work and if my alarm acutally goes off tomorrow morning and I don't over sleep I will go for a walk.

Well that's all for now. I will give an update on how my 2nd Day goes.

Love you all!
 
Just got the chance to post for this afternoon. I had to work from 10:30-4:30. Today went well up at work. I wasn't snacking on all of the "bad" foods up at work. I have had 32 oz. of water while up a work and another glass just now after I got home.

Breakfast:
1 cup of cheerios with milk

Lunch:
Ham Sandwich with mayo

No exercises yet today...taking a little breather from work before I get into the sittups.

Thats all for now.

i am not currently hungry so I don't think I will be eating anything else for the day. I may drink some more water though

That's all for now. Will post later.
 
Good Morning/Afternoon! I hope everyone is in high spirits today! Today is the high spirits day anyways. 07/07/2007!!! So I am on day 3 now. So far so good. Had a bowl of Cherrios this morning for breakfast..with skim milk. Today I think is going to be a great day. Although I do have to work this evening I still think I am going to have a great day.

After I shower here shortly I think I am going to go on a much need walk. Get out of this house and go explore the busy town. I haven't done that in a while.

Well I hope everyone has a great day. BBL

Jenny
 
Well I went on a walk...i suppose it was about 1.5 miles total. It was very hot that's for sure. for lunch i had a ham sandwich with mayo. I also had a few crackers with pepper jack cheese and a glass of ice water.

That's all for now.
 
Hiya Jenny

Happy 7/7/07! lol
Just wanted to say I had joined Curves about a year ago. They were running a special no joining fee. It was great because the Curves location was a few blocks from where I worked so I spent my lunch hour there. I didn't lose much weight during my months there but at least it kept me from gaining any! I'm currently doing Jazzercise which is awesome! I lost a total of 12 pound my first month there. It's an hour of cardio and weights. I really sweat so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!! :D

Happy 7/7/07 to you too! I have decided not to join curves just because I currently don't have that sort of money any more thanks to my car dieing on me last week. Congrats on the 12lbs from doing Jazzercise! I don't think there is anything like that around here...or atleast not that I know of.
 
Good Morning!! I am here eating a bowl of cheerios welcoming day 4 into my life. My legs are achey today. I think it's because of all the walking I did yesterday. The walk I went on with my dog. Plus me walking to and from work last night. Well I hope everyone has a good afternoon. I am off to work.
Cya all later!
 
Hey Jenny!!

How are things going?!
Is it day 8 for you already. Wow time flies.
Hope everything is going well.:)
 
Bad News

Well this week has been complete hell for me. Pardon the language. For the past 2-3 weeks my bad knee has been sore off and on. As of this past Tuesday it has been swollen and it's really hard for me to walk on it. I am having muscle spasms above and below the knee. I have sharp pain shooting through the knee. And pain the goes all the way down to my heel. I went to the doctor yesterday and she wants a MRI done on it. Until then there isn't much I can do except rest and ice it. I have a MRI scheduled for Monday morning at 7:15. I hope this will tell me and the doctors what is really wrong with it.


About 6 years ago i hurt my knee playing basketball. The ER only did a X-ray on it nothing else. They said it was just a sprain. (they never really did find out what was wrong with it) Well ever since I hurt my knee 6 years ago it give me problems off and on even if i wear a knee brace on it.

I have a feeling that my knee injury is the same thing I had 6 years ago and since the doctors didn't catch it the first time it has gotten worse when it probably could of been prevented. I don't remember doing anything to my knee over the past couple of weeks except walking to work which not even 1/2 a mile. I am praying that I get this figured out and praying that it is nothing serious.

Right now I am iceing it and elevating it. I am using my crutches (which sucks really bad) and the doctor's office told me to take 800mg of advil/motrin (with food) every 4 hours.


Until monday i guess..........
 
God I so badly want to go outside and walk. But my knee hurts so badly. I have been forced to use my crutches today. My knee has felt like it was going to give on me all day. The sharp pain just doesn't seem like it is going to stop. Even with being on 800mg for advil/motrin the pain is still really bad. It sucks the that moment that I feel great and want to start exercising more this happens. You know what I have walked over a mile and have had no problems with my knee. But the minute my car breaks down and I am forced to walk under 1/2 a mile it swells up and hurts really bad.

GRRR this SUCKS!!! Anyone wanna trade knees with me. I know some doctors would tell me that I need to lose weight. I know that. But how can I do that with pain shooting through my knee. Pain is a very discouraging factor when it comes to exercise. Right now I would give anything for this pain just to stop.

Last night I took some Advil PM. I haven't slept like that all week. No pain or waking up at 4 in the morning with sharp pain and constant muscle spasms. I just want to fast forward to monday and get this MRI over with so I know what in the world is wrong with my knee. This weekend has been taking forever. I think this is truely the first time that I am wanting the weekend to be over with and Monday to get here already.


Well I have vented some of my thoughts for now. To bad I can't vent out some of this pain through my computer. I probably break my key board!!!!
 
Sorry to hear you're down right now :(

All I can offer is someone is listening to you. I hope your ache goes away real soon.

Thanks T2. I really appreciate it. I woke up this morning. Not much pain right now...but it is still really swollen. Today is basically Jenny's lay around day. My mom doesn't want me to do much. I will be home by myself for most of the day which makes things worse.

I have been noticing discoloration/bruising below my knee all they way down my lower leg. It's not much but it is there. I am suppose to work this evening. But I don't think that that would be a good idea. crutches in a kitchen is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Tomorrow I go in for my MRI at 7:15am. Then my mom is going to call the insurance company to see which orthopedic doctors are covered under our insurance. Then it's off to another doctor to see my results of my MRI.

It is going to be a long week...
 
Longest Day Ever!!

Home alone + on crutches + injured knee + nothing to do = THE LONGEST DAY EVER!!!!

My family is finally home. I have some human life form to talk to. I have spent most of my day laying around. There has been absolutely nothing on TV. I did sit outside with my dog for awhile but that got old very fast. My lovely sharp pain is now back and has been for most of the day. Thank god my MRI is tomorrow. I called my boss and told her that I couldn't come into work. luckily she is very understanding of my situtation.

As you can see I have taken a picture of me Iceing my knee. Now with my family home I am still bored out of my mind. God i just want to get out and walk or do something to get me out of this darn house!!!!!!!

I have bruises now on my inner arms from my stupid crutches. My dad just adjusted them for me to try and help me out in that department.

I made the mistake of not using my crutches when the phone rang earlier and i didn't have enough time to properly use my crutches to get there so I disgarded them...now I wish I haven't. I think it made the pain worse. hm....maybe in like 4 hours I will go to bed and then wake up and go to my MRI appointment. Sad I know...planning to go to bed at like 6pm...but hey when you are that excited about going to the doctor because of this sharp pain I think i should be allowed to. Ok now I am off to surf the web one more time....I am so gosh darn bored.
