@jen_renee, lol saving money for the car is a lot better than for the lottery. There's a very big chance you'll get the car, meanwhile the lottery thing might not even happen in this lifetime. :auto:

& now it's my turn to envy your weather. The leaves are starting to turn here & the nights are getting cooler & damper. Autumn is around the corner & then :( Winter! Actually Winter in Tassie isn't too bad. Enjoy the sunshine & the shopping Jen xo
 
Hi Jen! Thanks for stopping by my diary yesterday!

So...I read this entire diary. I know...I know...it kinda makes me sound like a stalker/crazy person...but I promise I'm not. I do find you very inspirational though. You've been through a lot and yet you're still here fighting the fight. And you do it with humor and grace. Thank you. When you talk about 290Jen it hits home, because right now I'm 290Amy. So keep it up!
 
New food is always exciting, isn't it :D And having lots of fresh stuff at home always helps me to stay away from cake and biscuits :D

Good luck with your March goals!
 
Thanks, Cate! :)

Amy...You deserve a gold star for that! haha! And I'm happy to provide some inspiration. I have quite a ways to go still, but 290 Jen is far in the past and never coming back. I've had many ups and downs, but I promised myself that I would never EVER see that number again, and I am sticking to it. 290 Amy will be a thing of the past one day too. Promise yourself that you will never see her again! :)

Thanks, Delsid! :)
 
Today was a good day, sorta? I exercised, so that was good. My calories were good. My carbs were good... and then I went to my mom's. She had fresh baked banana bread straight out of the oven. *SIGH*. I had a couple small slices. So yeah, calorie wise I was fine today, but my carbs were a little higher than I wanted. Not horrible by any means though. We had steak and veggies for dinner, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Tomorrow is grocery shopping day!! :)
 
Fresh bread is the BEST and not having any when it´s right there is criminal. Great job sticking to a couple small slices! Mmm... with fresh butter...
 
Sooooo... yesterday wasn't exactly the best. :oops:

I was good all morning and afternoon. We went and did food shopping. We bought a ton of stuff and spent way less than usual for it. So that was awesome. Then we decided that going to the casino was somehow a good idea. :rolleyes: haha! So we each went with a little bit of money to spend. Of course the casino had a nice buffet in it, so we went to that too. I was already planning on splurging on dinner, so that was ok. It was fun, no regrets there! But then after we were done gambling, we decided to go home and eat some snacks and have some drinks. I ended up having 2 drinks, a couple of Cadbury eggs, and an apple fritter. It could of been a lot worse, but it definitely was not good either. I'm also being reminded that my body does not like junk carbs, as every joint in my lower half is screaming "Why, Jen?!....WHYYYYYYYYY????" Sorry, body... I'm sorry!!!:( Aaaanyway.... I'm back on track today. Going to do the treadmill later. :)

Good on you for not breaking the calorie bank given the circumstances. And remember what your body is telling you right now!

You deserved it, honey. You've worked REALLY hard for the past two weeks so last night was well-deserved.

PS - that buffet was AMAZING. We're sooooo eating there again. I mean, not anytime soon (because I ate so much my stomach literally felt like it was exploding - not to mention my butthole - my poor, poor butthole), but we're definitely eating there again!!!
 
Thanks, guys!! :)


I did do the treadmill last night! Calories and stuff were good yesterday too! So far today all I've had is a little bit of watermelon. Which isn't the best idea for me, as I'm kind of allergic to it. I'm allergic to ragweed, so melons are typically not my friend. It's an oral allergy thing. It makes my throat, ears, and mouth itchy for a few minutes, but that's about all. Of course my favorite fruit on the planet doesn't like me. That's my luck. :(

Anyway... Today is a treadmill day again. I'm also going to do some squats and stuff. Other than that I'm just working.

OH.. Chef and I decided that instead of putting money into my car to fix it(we're getting rid of it this year anyway) he's going to get a bike and bike to work, so I can use his car more until I get my new one. I drove his car this morning...and he's not getting it back. haha! You don't really realize how much of a piece of shit your car really is until you drive something much nicer. Sorry, honey... but it's mine now. :p
 
OHHH.. I forgot to share something funny earlier. This has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss, but it's too funny and weird not to share. So yesterday we caught up on The Voice. This guy came on and I looked at the TV and I looked over at Chef and I did a double take. haha!

I couldn't help myself, so I did a little photo collage for you all. haha!

First pic: Chef at the wedding. Second pic: The guy from the Voice. Third pic: Chef's face with the guy's hat and hair. hahahaha!

FYI he's going to kill me for this, but it's worth it. haha!

Honey, you can't be KIND OF allergic to something. Your throat doesn't get all itchy and irritated when you eat watermelon because you're KIND OF allergic to it...you're just straight up ALLERGIC to it.

Dummy.

I look like a fat Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump.

LOL- you are both hilarious. A great looking couple too!! I hear you about the carbs. If I overdo it - I look like I ate a whole watermelon. Definitely bloats a guy up and I sure don't like that feeling.
 
You two are gorgeous. Chef def. has a doppelganger! So do I apparently. I keep having the weirdest things said to me lately & am obviously being mixed up with someone else who lives in the district. It has happened so often it's crazy.
 
You should find and befriend her just to mess with people´s heads! Or maybe try and figure out what she´s like judging by people´s mistakes first...
 
I'm also planning on getting a new car, mine only has a few more adventures in it. Cycling to work is a great plan for Chef and for you too! :D
