Jen's Diary

I saw a similar FB post about graduates going down the hall of the little kids and I thought it was great. What a great tradition!

Ok your Mom sounds kinda of awesome, I would like some homemade treats please...lol. And thanks for the pandas! We need more panda videos in the world! ;)
 
My son loved it, Tete! Everyone was very pleased with it, so it's definitely going to a new tradition for us. :) And no cookies or bread today, she had little goodie bags prepared for each of the kids. I didn't get one. What the heck?! ....haha! Probably for the best. :)



We had steak for dinner. My husband cooks a mean steak. It was deeeeelicious!
 
Maybe your mom just caught on to the fact that you´re trying to be healthier? I like the idea of goodie bags, by the way, clear portions make my life so much easier.

Oh, ChefChiTown, you think you're so funny! You do cook a mean steak though, honey! ;)

It's been an extremely busy day today. We went and watched my best friend's son graduate high school. Pretty sure I melted away about 10 lbs at least in that sauna of a gymnasium. It was so hot. lol! Then went and did some clothes shopping, and finished up the day with grocery shopping. My feet hurt sooooooooooo bad. Going to try to convince Chef to rub them later. Wish me luck on that. haha! We cheated a little on meals today since we were out and about all day pretty much, but we weren't too horrible. :)
 
Today was a pretty good day. I was looking at my numbers though and my sodium was really high, partly because of the ham from dinner. I love ham, but good grief is it salty. I had planned on weighing myself in the morning, but I think I'm going to skip it now and give that a couple days. Calories were really good today though.

Tomorrow I plan on doing the treadmill, a mountain of laundry, and going through the clothes in my closet. I actually don't have much in my closet, but it's all disorganized, and half of it is stuff that I need to lose weight to fit into. :( The shopping I did this weekend and last weekend was probably the most clothes I've bought in like 5 years. I hate buying new stuff when you want to lose weight, so I usually avoid it until absolutely necessary. I decided though that I'm not going to roast through another summer wearing clothes that I'm not comfortable in. I also decided that feeling like a frumpy mess in my shitty clothes that I have now isn't helping my self esteem...which in turn kills my motivation. So we went shopping and I bought some stuff that makes me feel better about myself. They may not be the size that I want them to be, but they sure as hell will make me feel better about my current appearance. A happy confident Jen = a motivated Jen. :)

Fine!

:p

Seriously though. I hate laundry. It's the worst. If I ever win the lottery I'm hiring someone to do laundry. haha!

Anywho.. Not much going on today. Kids are home from school today. I'm going to get on the treadmill in a minute and get that over with. Food is good so far today. We're having burgers tonight. I'll probably eat mine without a bun or skip the top bun, depending on my carbs later. Maybe do salad or cottage cheese with it. I don't know. Which reminds me I have to run to the store later too.

I hope everyone is having a good day! :)
 
I love that gif too. My thoughts were "Chef, you're a dag!"
I hate most housework, Jen. Laundry, when you have kids, is a pain. When it's just the 2 of you it's easy peasy.
 
Ah, I look forward to not doing the kids' laundry. I think this summer my daughter is going to start doing her own. She wants to learn, so by golly I'm gonna teach her! haha!


Today was a good day. I got a LOT done. I tackled the whole mountain of laundry, made the kid help clean the house, and rewarded them by playing a game of ladderball with them. After that, we made sno-cones in our new SNO-CONE MAKER! It's so cute, I love it. The thing shaves ice in a few seconds...it's awesome! Food was ok today. We had burgers for dinner, I went ahead and just ate the bottom bun, and then had cottage cheese and melon with it. I'm not sure about dinner tomorrow yet. I need to take something out for that.

I did the treadmill today. Tomorrow I'll do some strength training.
 
I don´t mind laundry at all (then again: I´m single, baby!), possibly because it´s just a thing that HAS to be done or I have nothing to wear. Whereas things like mopping the floor and dusting my beloved books can always wait just one more day (or twenty).
 
LaMa and Delsid: I hate all household chores... but laundry is definitely my most hated. Which is my own fault, because I let the laundry back up until there's a mountain of clothes on top of the basket. I never learn. haha!

LJ: Buying new clothes is the worst. haha! The things I did buy are all flowy type things, so they'll last awhile even when I do lose weight. They'll just be more..... flowy? I don't know. haha!


I did some strength training today. Also did a few minutes of jump roping. Was inspired by Kal-El's diary, and decided to give it a try. OK...lemme just say..... This isn't the playground in 3rd grade anymore, people. Jump roping is HARD! haha! Definitely going to keep doing it though. It's fun, when I'm not gasping for air. haha!

Food has been good so far today. :)
 
I get inspired to try things when I read about them in other diaries, but actually trying them eludes me mostly(except for squats) Go Jen!
 
I hate shopping and I really hate trying things on and I am horrible at returning as well. So I basically suck.

I get inspired by others diaries and in my heart I want to do so many things...and then my body laughs!!

I am drowning in filthy, smoke smelling, probably should just burn everything laundry from my two so call men, so I feel your pain!

Flowy's nice in the summer. And fall. And... really, I just like baggy clothes in general.
