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

I'm still here, usually just have to time to read a post here and there though. I've been super busy lately. I'm either doing something with the kids, working, running errands, or taking care of something for my mom. I've been fluctuating between 187 and 190. I haven't gone off the deep end or anything, but I haven't been the best either...lol. I need to get back on track. I'd still like to be 180, or as close as possible, by August 19th, which is when we leave for Cleveland. I have 5 weeks, so I need to get my butt in gear... and soon! :)
 
Hey! You're back. I was afraid you walked away, Jen Renee.

I'd tell you to have fun in Cleveland, but they tend not to have a lot of that there. :)
 
Ok... so obviously when I stay away from this forum for too long, it's never ends well. Ever. This time is not any different. I was hovering around 188-190, but a couple weeks ago I started stress eating again( Ben & Jerry always know how to comfort me in just the right way. Damn them. haha!). Anyways, I stepped on the scale this morning, and was not happy with what I saw... dun dun dun.... 196!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What have I done?!

So, here I am. Back on this forum... DAILY... and counting my calories.
 
You said it yourself: keywords; daily and diet.
Do not let weight get any higher!!
We will be here for you, time to let Ben and Jerry go.
 
Benjamin and Jerome need to be held accountable for their wicked ice-cream pushing ways.

Welcome back anyway. You've managed to stay under two bills, so it shouldn't be too hard to take a lot of that back off. It's usually a little easier to lose weight you just gained than normal. Unfortunately you may have to do the one thing you most dread in all the world: exercise.

Scary, I know.

Shhhhh... don't speak such filthy, FILTHY words in my diary. (...and yes, I know. SIGH.... I just hate it so much..haha!)
 
I know how you feel Jen, i got of track and gained back 12kg but now I am back on track. Already lost 4kg but still have a ways to go.
 
Glad to see you back on the forum too, MLB! Congrats on your 4kg! :)


Well yesterday went pretty good. I ended the day around 1400 calories. Today will be about the same probably. I'm at 1300 right now, and I might have a little 100 calorie snack later.

I just got back from dropping the kids off at my mom's. They're staying with Grandma tonight and part of the morning tomorrow. The peace and quiet is quite lovely. Unfortunately, I'll be spending my free evening working, but at least it's quiet. Hopefully my work tonight goes better than yesterday. Yesterday started off with having to report one of the worst possible things you can see on the internet. Definitely puts a damper on the rest of your day. So, hopefully none of that tonight!

Oh, I just realized I forgot to put my goal down for the week. I'm hoping to be 192 by Saturday. That would be 4lbs this week. I think it's doable, being that I've been eating pretty badly for a while now. :blush5:
 
Glad to see you're back, Jen! I took a hiatus as well and wound up gaining 5 or 10 pounds. I hope you can get to your goal this week!
 
Thanks, Cory! Glad to see you're back as well! I need to catch up on diaries. I'm so far behind now. Hopefully I will get to that in the next couple of days! :)
 
194 this morning. The numbers are moving in the right direction. :)


I'm about to start working. I have to get all my work done during the day today, because I was informed that I "have a date tonight". :) I'm not exactly sure what he has planned, but hopefully it does not involve a lot of food. lol!
 
Nice to see things heading the right way for you Jen. Enjoy your date. Glad to see you around again.
 
Thanks, guys! The date went great. We watched a movie, and Chef made a delicious meal for us earlier in the evening.... roasted cornish game hen, a creamy alfredo risotto, a piece of garlic bread for each of us, and sugar snap peas. I seriously could have eaten a bucket of the risotto..haha! I didn't though! I think I did pretty good. Scale was 193.4 this morning. Today is going to be a busy, and I really need to get going. I hope everyone has a great day! :)
 
You think the "you have a date tonight" line would work on a stranger, or is it only applicable to the already coupled?

Hmm... I don't know. You could try it and see what happens. I don't have bail money though, so keep that in mind. haha!

.......or you could just ASK a lovely lady. Off to Trader Joe's with ya! ;)
