Jen's Diary of Random Stuff

when the music isn't an option, I try to set a goal that is distance versus time, and i spend all that time trying to make sure i match the goal i set for myself. So for instance if i want to do 30 min, i may set a goal of like 3.5 miles, and then i spend all my time trying to make sure i hit i never really think about how long it took as much as i am think i have enough time to hit the goal! hope that helps.. (when the music player is down)

I will have to try that. Because when I don't have music, I find myself just staring at the timer on the treadmill...watching every single second tick by so slowly that it makes me want to scream. Oh, and I occasionally take a break to check my heart rate, and then I go right back to staring at the timer..hahaha! So I will definitely try that out...thanks!! :)
 
:YAAAAAAWN: I'm tired. I got a good night's sleep last night, but...eh...I'm still tired. It's been a rough few days, and night before last I got like 3 hours sleep. So I have some catching up to do. I also woke up this morning to a fresh layer of snow. I'm so sick of winter, it needs to just go the eff away:cuss:... Siiiigh.... spring is close though, the snow fleas are out, that's a good sign. I just wish it would hurry the hell up. GRRRRR!!

I have to do some work today, gonna put "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele on repeat and zone while I do that, and then I think I'm gonna watch some movies tonight and relax. Oh and some good and bad news. Good news: I lost a couple pounds! :) Bad news: They're pounds I had already lost :( Oh well...they're gone again! lol! Have a good weekend guys! :seeya:

I'm sorry about that. I guess I should have put that into our relationship contract in some sort of 'lack-of-sleep' clause. If you're going to be in a relationship with me, I'm going to make you lose some sleep. Sometimes for good reasons :) But, sometimes for not so good reasons. I'm sorry, honey. You don't deserve someone who causes you to lose sleep. You deserve better than that and I promise I will better myself and make up for it.

Honey? I don't see any bad news there. You're making progress and you're moving in the right direction. And, that is always good news. You may have teeter-tottered back and forth, but you are still moving forward. And, I am extremely proud of you for doing so. We all are. And, you should be proud of yourself too.

So, don't look at it as 'good news and bad news' - just look forward - look ahead and focus on the GOOD news.

Keep up the good work, Jen. You're doing great :hug2:
 
I have to say, I laughed at the pounds you lost, found, and then lost again. I agree that it's all good news though.. keep moving forward! Hopefully those darn lbs are gond for good!

I am terrible about getting enough sleep; I am such a night owl and want to stay up until 2 or 3 am (or later if I had my way) but even on the weekends when I don't have work to go to, the kid is up by 8. I need to figure out some kind of early retirement scheme so I can get back to my teenage days of being up all night and sleeping all day! :biggrinjester:

Don't worry about it, Honey....I definitely played my part. Which reminds me....ummm...that 'lack-of-sleep' clause IS there, it's right next to the 'can-be-a-crazy-bitch-for-no-reason' clause I added....he he he :D

I'm definitely a night owl too... I love to stay up late on the weekends...sometimes I'm not so good at it though and end up falling asleep by like 11o'clock, but I try. I'm also a huge fan of napping. If it was a competitive sport with a cash prize...I'd be set. HAHAHA!
 
Ok...I think something's wrong with me. I woke up this morning and my throat feels all scratchy, my glands feel swollen, and I have a bit of a headache. So, what do I do? I get up and clean? Whaaaaat? I hate cleaning even when I feel GOOD....so I don't wtf is going on with me....LOL! I feel a little bit better though and the house is pretty clean, so I'm not complaining. :) Ok...so I'm off to do ....laundry? (Seriously...there is something wrong with me...LOL) and then I think I'm going to Subway for lunch...I was told about some $1.99 deal or something they have going on this weekend...and I love Subway, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that..LOL! :waving:
 
Mmm, subway!

Know exactly what you mean about loosing the same pounds over and over again. I've been gaining and loosing the same 6 for months now, driving me crazy! Like Chef said though--as long as it's going in the right direction, it's all good!

I know, it is super frustrating....its driving me nuts too..hahaha! But yeah, as long as its going in the right direction...it's all good. And my Subway was delicious!! :)


Right now I'm sitting here freezing my butt off. We woke up to no heat this morning and its freaking cold in here!!! I have the little space heater going, but it's not doing a good enough job. Hopefully the furnace guy can get here soon. Its so cold my fingers don't want to move to type. How many calories does shivering burn? I'll be counting that as my exercise today I think. :smilielol5:

I hate it! Losing pounds for the second time seems so much harder :(
Click to expand...

It does seem harder...and lets not even talk about the third or fourth time around...ugh! But things are going in the right direction, so I'm not going to complain. :)

...

Well, at least I'm not about the weight loss..... I will complain about the fact that the left side of head feels like it's going to explode..lol. I'm not feeling too hot right now. I'm trying to work, but I'm having a hard time concentrating. My jaw hurts really bad today. I think I'll probably end up taking a bunch of Motrin and putting ice on it. I'm seriously considering getting one of these...

I mean how cute would I look in THAT?! :smilielol5: I could bedazzle it or sumpin maybe... lol! :rolleyes:

If you bought one of those, you'd be getting some good use out of it...because I'd punch you square in the face just for buying one. :cuss:

HAHAHAHA, aww...no I wouldn't. I think.

:leaving:

Awww...I can clearly see you're jealous. I'll get you one too, then we'll MATCH! We can stay up late one night bedazzling our face caddies! Aww... this is gonna be FUN! :D
 
:puke:

Omg.... I hate puke. I hate my own, much less someone else's. My son started puking almost as soon as he got home from school today, and has been puking on and off ever since. He's sleeping next to me now, so I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm going to wake up covered in puke at some point tonight. That's something to look forward to. :rolleyes:
 
I woke up puke free!!! YEEEEAH!! :D No puke yet this morning either, so fingers crossed that he's on the mend. He seems to be feeling good. I'm keeping him home from school today though, just to be on the safe side. I'm sure he'll just be heartbroken to have to spend the day in bed watching cartoons..lol.



Also wanted to add that my thoughts are with everyone affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan...sad and scary stuff. :(
