Jen's Diary: To 180 or Below...and Maintenance!

Thanks, Justina! :)

I'm still sitting right at 192.0. My calories have been good so far this week... right around 1300. I've been stressed out from work though, and other stuff. I'll be moving in another couple months or so(same town, just a different house). Trying to plan it all out is making my head want to explode. UUUUUUUUUUUGH...I hate moving. I haven't been sleeping the best again either. That is not helping. I need a vacation....to somewhere tropical...with beaches...and fruity umbrella drinks.. Ahhh...A girl can dream. :)

So yesterday, I went to leave the house to go to the store, and the screen door would NOT open. There was a huge mound of ice on the other side of it. I pounded on it, and pounded on it, and NOTHING. So I had to go out our back door, climb through snow(that was up past my knees) all the way around the house, and pound the ice away from the door. Fun times. Super fun! Sigh.... I'm so done with winter. haha!

Ugh! I complain about the soggy Winters in Oregon, but I would really struggle with the ice and deep snow you get. I like to *visit* cold Wintery places like N. Michigan. I dated a woman in college who was from Grand Rapids and she eventually moved back to MI and attended a college in Northern Michigan... somewhere on the Upper Peninsula (?) She loved it there.

I've yet to read your whole diary, but from I can see in your signature, you've done remarkably well. Great job!
 
Jen, I hear you about being done with winter. I live in the middle of Appalachia, so we're still getting some snow. Every time my brother and I decide to go on a hike, it dumps more snow on us. Then we have to wait for it to melt and for the trail to dry out. By the time that happens, it's snowed again.
 
Hey sounds like you are very stressed. We are moving soon too - back to Michigan - yay!!! but I am not looking forward to the stress...
Hope you can chill out a bit & sleep better! Just go online a plan a hypothetical vacation! :) I do it all the time! It cheers me up!
 
Wow, so close to the 180s! Great list too. I've never been thin so a lot of things will be completely new to me. My toenails will look fabulous!
 
I'm glad/happy/upset/furious/despondent (pick the correct adjective) that you are moving. That is great/horrible/surprising/shocking/devastating news. Hope fully your sleep improves. I had meant to type 'hopefully your sleep improves', but when I looked up the I had placed a meaningless space there so I decided to leave it.

In case you haven't guessed, this is another round of the much requested 'drunk posting.' I'm telling you now what an honor it is for me to choose to grace your thread with this. I hope you truly appreciate how special an occassion it is. Crap, I really thought I spelled 'occasion' correctly there. Anyhow, good luck on the move, and I hope your head does not explode because the cleaning bills on something like that are pretty severe.
 
I am at 190 this morning! That, my lovely forum friends, is a NEW LOW! YAY!!! It also marks 100 pounds lost from my highest weight! Very happy today! :D
:hurray::party::hurray:


Don: Thank you! Michigan winters are quite an experience, especially if you're not used to them. Lots and lots of people come here to visit. Our town is being overtaken by snowmobilers at the moment. They are everywhere you look..lol!

Cory: I just want all the snow gone... and green grass... and to not have to wear boots and a bulky winter coat. Oh, and driving on bare roads would be nice too..lol! OH, and no more shoveling!!! I could on, and on, and on...hahaha!

Justina: I might have to try that. A hypothetical vacation is better than nothing..haha! I did sleep a little better last night... so that's good! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Quercus: You must post pics....of your toenails. hahaha!

MrVee: I am honored to have received such a wonderful drunk posting. Thank you! :p

Jen, that's truly amazing. I hope I look as good as you do when I have a hundred pounds behind me.
 
jen renee, congrats!!! 100lbs that's quite something!!! You look stunning! Thanks for sharing the pix!!!
:party:
 
Incredible job so far, Jen! Wow, the difference is amazing.
It's funny to see how you fit the same shirt... it looks like it belongs to someone else!
 
March 2013 - looking amazing there Jen! 100 lbs!! We have the same goal weight so let's kick some ass!!!

Keep it up. Very inspiring looking at your pictures.
 
You look mahvelous dahling. Congrats on reaching the 100 pound mark. I'll be there soon. Possibly within two weeks...

Or if I lose a limb in a golfing accident today, two hours.
 
Thanks, everyone!!! I know a huge part of losing that 100 lbs was the support I've received from this forum. I appreciate all the support and encouragement! :D

Weigh-in day was Saturday, and I was 189.4! My goal for today is to do some form of exercise, that's NOT the treadmill. I need to mix it up. I think I might see if I can find a Pilates video or something online.

***Update- Pilates done. Wow. I am sore.
