Jen's Diary of Random Stuff.... Take Two!!

AIt's been storming all morning. I absolutely LOVE thunderstorms...but this is mostly just rain, not much thunder or lightning. It's a perfect storm for napping.

I've been doing GREAT on my calories all week. Super happy about that! :)

Not been doing so great on the exercise front this week though. I need to get back on that!

Other than that, there's not much going on. Chef is coming over tonight. I'm hoping to bat a few eyelashes and get a backrub. ;)

Yeah Thunderstorms are the best. I wish I had a porch so I can sit outside and listen to the rain patter against the glass and the thunder. I live in Washington too so it's perfect.
 
AMy goal for this weekend is to not pig out like a little oinker :piggy: It's my TOM again... seems like I JUST had it..uuugh so annoying. So I wanna do my best to avoid a gain. I almost ALWAYS gain during that time, so we'll see. I'm definitely not holding my breath though.

Tonight Chef is coming over and we're having a movie night. He wanted to drink too, but I just cant waste those calories. :(

OH, and the weirdest moment of my day so far.... a rather in depth discussion on the book Fifty Shades of Grey with my MOM...aaaawkward! It's a rather naughty book for those that have never heard of it... google it! :D

Ooooo..yes, that would be cool! I don't have a covered porch either. Maybe someday though! Thanks for stopping by, Jay! :)

AOh, I'm so tired. This girl does not do good on less than 6 hours of sleep! I was up late last night talking to my best friend. I had every intention of being productive today, but I don't think that's happening..lol!

Been doing great on my calories. I've been keeping them just under 1300.

OH...last weekend I went shopping and bought a new pair of jeans, my other ones were getting ridiculously baggy. My new jeans are 2 sizes smaller!! I had a pretty big moment of shock and disbelief when I pulled them up and they actually buttoned! That definitely made my day! :)


UUUUGH...ok...gonna go put some comfy clothes on( one of the perks of working at home :)) and TRY to get some work done. :ack2:

AMy weight has been the same for the last 3 days. I've been great on my calories so far this week. Sunday is going to be a problem though. It's Mother's day and I already know that we're having a yummy meal and delicious dessert. So that's going to be hard, plus it's the day before I weigh in. :(

I made a bet with Chef... although it's more like making a deal with the devil. Whoever loses the most percentage of weight between now and when we go down to Cleveland wins, and the loser has to do whatever the other one has written down and sealed in an envelope. This could go 3 ways....

1. He tortures me for the next 9 weeks making me think he put something horrible down, and it turns out to be something nice like "endure a night of pampering".

2. I have to eat something horribly disgusting.

3. Or.... it has to do with sexy time. ;)


Hopefully it's #1 or #3..hahaha. It doesn't really matter though, because I'm winning!

In any case, it has Chef all fired up about losing weight again...which is great. Plus the trash talking has been fun..lol.

I hope everyone is doing well!

ATomorrow is usually my official weigh-in day, BUT since we are splurging tonight on dinner for Mother's Day.... I went ahead and weighed myself this morning. I am down 3 more pounds. That brings my total to 21 pounds lost!

Hey Jen


I used to post in you old journal and finally got around to catching up on this one!1 As usuall enjoyed every post and I am amazed with your success! I am now feeling very inspired !!!
 
ARight now I am at the same weight I was when I weighed myself on Sunday. The day after my big Mother's day meal, I was up 1 pound on the scale, but that dropped back down yesterday. I am trying to keep things steady until the weekend, maybe even go down a pound or so. My birthday is Sunday and so we will be going out on Saturday to celebrate. So that will be another big meal. We're also going to see a movie...which means popcorn. I don't usually eat THAT much of it, but I do eat some. I am going to try to keep things from getting too out of control, but it IS my birthday, so I am going to enjoy it.

Chef has been doing great too. He's been doing great on calories and has been working out....very proud of him! :)

I'm also very proud of myself. I won't get into on here, but the last few days have been extremely stressful. Normally I would of shoved my face full of chocolate and whatnot, but I haven't. I've stuck to my diet and haven't caved to emotional eating. :)

AA few random things.....

Why do pickles have to have so much sodium in them? *Sigh* Seriously, I could eat a whole jar of them right now, and no, I'm NOT pregnant..lol!

As a kid I LOVED Flintstones vitamins.... as an adult...not so much. :ack2:

and finally...

My son puked all over Chef not once...but TWICE last night..hahaha! I feel horrible for laughing, my son was absolutely miserable, but it was funny. Chef is slowly being introduced to all the wonderful joys of having children..lol. He handled it like a trooper though, and my son is all better this morning!


Hope everyone has a great weekend!

AWell this weekend didn't really go as planned. Apparently karma decided to bite me in the butt for laughing about Chef getting puked on, because I ended up sick as a dog Friday night. We had originally planned to go out and celebrate my birthday yesterday(even though my bday is today) but I still wasn't feeling too hot...soooo we ended up going out this afternoon.

We went and watched The Avengers and then went and had a nice lunch. I also had ice cream today too. I didn't count calories today, but I'm sure it was a lot...lol! It's my birthday though...soooo I don't care...LOL! It was fun and I enjoyed it! :)

Happy Birthday, Jen!! =)


Yeah, forget calories today! Wasn't The Avengers awesome??


lol, I went to see it with my one friend last week in 3D! First time I've been to a 3D movie, too! :D It was so cool!
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :party:

I still haven't seen The Avengers.. keep meaning too but never find the time! Ugh!

Haha, puke is always funny until it's on you! Working at the daycare is teaching me that very quickly! And that children have NO SHAME! My god! The farts curdle my brain sometimes!

Hope you're feeling better now, at any rate!
 
AWell today was weigh-in day for me. I am down 1 pound. Honestly I wasn't expecting to be down anything, since I pigged out yesterday. I think the only reason I am is because I hardly ate anything on Saturday because I was sick. So things must of evened out. In any case... I'll take it! lol!

Today has been stressful to say the least. I had a meeting with my son's current teacher, his therapists, and his new Kindergarten and Special Education teacher he'll have next year. The meeting was very upbeat and positive, but I'm still very worried about how Kindergarten is going to go. That's causing me quite a bit of stress. I also found out when I got home that my mom fell while she was watching my son. She needs a double knee replacement and walks with a cane. It seems like lately things are getting worse for her. So that is worrying me. And then add onto all that the usual money, relationship, and household worries/duties. I'm pretty strung out right now. I need a vacation ....or a 5 lb. box of chocolate. Either would do right now. LOL!

I'm feeling much better, thanks! I agree puke is funny, when it's not on you...lol! And aren't kids great?! I worked at a daycare, my ex mother-in-law ran a daycare, and my mom and I also ran a daycare...so I had lots of experience with kids before I had my own..... they STILL manage to surprise me sometimes with their lack of shame. LOL! OH...and go see The Avengers!!! You'll loooove it!

Thanks for stopping by guys! :)

AStress and nerves got the better of me today, and I am sad to say I calmed them with a 16oz Mountain Dew and a NutRageous bar. 480 calories of regret....that's what that was. Sigh. Oh well... it could of been MUCH worse. The rest of my day has been pretty good, eating wise anyways.

Wow Jen, way to control yourself when feeling down. I know when I feel that way I end up regretting double the amount of calories or more! Sorry your feeling all stressy and such, that's a bummer. Try to stay positive as much as you can! Congrats btw on the 22 lbs lost so far, that's really awesome! :)
 
Hey Jen


I keep a bag of carrotts at work right now that way if i do get all stressed and eat I only have carrotts on me and I don`t keep any money on me so I can`t go and buy what i am really craving!

Working from home would not be good for me lol! Yesterday is done....no point in dwelling right! Hope everything is going better for you! You have gone a long way since you started on here, you know you can do it!
