Jen's journey

Niffer said:
Well I have had a crappy weekend, chocolate and pizza. I have been doing SO good for the last month and then blew it this weekend. Weekends are always hard for me as my boyfriend is home all day and he doesn't eat the best and doesn't encourage me to eat well either. I need to get back on track! I think I gained back a few pounds and it makes me feel bad about myself.

I feel YA SISTER....me TOO bad BAD weekend....GREASY tacos, Cake, TOO much Cranberry and VODKA....ptttrrrrr....I was FELING so GOOD too....but HEY...back at EM RIGHT! I'm rooting for you HUN! :party:........
 
Well, you had a cheat weekend. You can't beat yourself up for it, and a couple days won't force you to gain all your weight back. Just keep working and this weekend will no longer matter.

Talk to your boyfriend, don't let him encourage you, you encourage him!

And congrats on your decision to lose weight.
 
Feeling better today! Started my second 30 day program. Today is the cleanse day, I always have problems with them, not because of the lack of food, its the taste of the cleanse drink, makes me gag....2 drinks down, 2 to go...thinking thin thoughts!!
 
you're quite pretty I must say, you'll be absolutely fabulous when you get to your goal I'm sure. I don't think I could do your program myself though, I'm more of a take it one day at time person.
 
aww thanks, pretty is not a word I think I have ever been called :blush5: I know that a lot people don't believe in "diet plans" but its what I need right now. I need structure to tell me what I can and can not do until it becomes natural. I have already learned a lot about different foods and calories and making healthy choices. Now I am *trying* to focus on the exercise part and then I will quit the program and give it a go on my own. I really want to be successful!
 
I am so tired tonight! I went for a 45 minute brisk walk after work and then to an aquasize class! I am so proud of myself :) Cleanse day is over, I only managed to drink 3 doses of the cleanse rather than the 4 I was supposed to but I am not going to stress about it...it just tastes so awful!
 
Well I am stoked this morning, I thought my weekend was a disaster but I dropped another 1/2 pound. I know it isn't much but it makes me beat my self up less about the weekend and stay on track. Today I am wearing a pair of capri pants that I had to stop wearing last summer as they were too tight....and now they are loose! Yay me!
 
Went to aquasize class again tonight and am bagged...having a rough personal day...must not snack on crap...

I feel you! I love eating when I have bad days, not crap, just anything, but try your best not to, it'll help you feel better in the end. Good work on going to class!

Why not describe how the class goes?
 
I don't know if I could do your job. I get around people with disabilities and want to cry for them, and because I'm so selfish about my problems, when they have a much harder battle to fight. Good for you for doing that.

I hope your mood starts to improve too.

As for the recipe, I'm not a huge fan of cottage cheese. I like it with some things, but I can't over indulge in it. Sour cream however is a different story :)

Your exercises sound unusual. The classes I've ever seen have been a lot of stretching, and running, and stuff like that, certainly never weight weights! Do you get in any actual swimming time?

I'm glad you're sticking to your plan! Keep up the great work!
 
So it was my birthday over the weekend and I had a hard time with my diet. I know I over ate a bit and of course there was the cake. The scale moved up 2 pounds this morning but I find it hard to believe that I gained it that quickly over the weekend. Today is Monday and its back at it. Cleanse day today and back to my exercise. Hope the weather holds, it looks nasty out! The weekends are always so hard for me....
 
Awww....don't worry ABOUT the 2 lbs.....thats WHY I DON"T like to weigh....but I GUESS it can motivate as WELL...you are on YOUR way though....I am ROOTING for ya! :party:
 
Ok I didn't let the scale get me down, and it was a good thing, because it turned in the other direction! Down another 1.5 pounds. I am SO close to the 210's! I am so excited! I know if I keep to it I will break that this week!

I am noticing a big difference in my clothes, which is a good thing and also bad! I am stoked that everything is baggy...but it is leaving me nothing to wear to work! I should be wearing dressy casual but all my pants are hanging down and sagging in the crotch~not a pretty look! My shirts are almost 2 sizes too big too! I can't afford to replace my wardrobe so I have been sticking to jeans and hoodies....good thing I am the manager and my work *can* be more casual. I have a few meetings coming up so I have to find some better fitting "nice" clothes for those. Who wants to wear clothes that hang off of you?! And as someone else mentioned, Walmart sucks! I am in between in there clothes, plus size pants are too big and I am not into the regular section yet ARG! Soon!

Hope everyone is having a good week!
 
WooWooo

Awww Hun don't WORRY:ack2:....THIS IS A GREAT PROBLEM!!!:iagree:

I know what that FEELS like...it's GREAT on one NOTE and BAD on another...
It is hard when you are in between sizes, now I find since I am changing a bit too....I alternate a couple dresses a lot, because they just fit looser as I keep going down....and they hide when I am up....:icon_bs:...HAHAHA

KEEP going SOON you won't be in between!!! SMASH THEM SIZES!:smash:
 
Thanks!! I can't wait to not have to shop in Plus Size stores, the selection seems so much better in "regular" stores. I put on a shirt this morning and showed my bf how big it was and he said "I guess you aren't so full figured anymore" lol I know I have a long way to go but its encouraging!:hurray:
 
I AM IN THE TEENS!! 219 this morning!! I am so stoked! Yesterday I went shopping ( I finally broke down!) and bought a new shirt...2 sizes smaller than the rest in my closet!

I have been going to the gym and did aquasizing again last night. I have been feeling really tired lately which is not helping my motivation level. The fact that the scale is dropping is helping it though.

I am gone Sat and Sun for a Scouting field trip so I don't know how that will effect my exercising, hopefully I can fit something in. Also diet...we will be eating out on those days so I have to really consider my options before popping junk in my mouth. I am almost at 20 pounds lost and 1/4 of the way to my goal, don't want to blow it now!!

I am hoping to be down to 210 by the end of April, cross your fingers for me!!
