Renewing my sense of worth. Again.

So I need to make a pre-confession: Going to see Nightmare on Elm Street tonight, annnd I'm gonna eat horrible, buttery, delish popcorn. And then to the the gym to work it off. Errrg. Have a jury summons for tomorrow morning, totally uncool... Hoping to not be at the courthouse all day tomorrow so I can get a decent workout in. Heres hopin!

I am hoping I get to go see that one in theatre, I grew up watching the nightmare on Elm Street and I couldn't get in the theatre to see it cause I was underage and my parents wouldn't drive me there. (The joy of growing up in the country lol) This one I have got to see! It's good to treat yourself once in a while that way you don't feel deprived and it's easiyer to stick to your noew life style, at least you are going to the gym after!!!!!! Good Luck with the Jury thing!

Wow! Now there's face I haven't seen in a while! :)
I doubt you remember me Jess, it has literally been years, but I found myself back on this website after deciding to jump back on the wagon and found your comments on my page and remembered how awesome you were.
Keep up the good work and it's comforting to know you're still here
Take care xo
 
Hi Jess, finally read through your journal. Your motivation to workout and be healthy is very inspiring. I am going to visit often. How's couch to 5k going? Are you still doing it? Have a great week. Happy hump day. Two more days before the weekend. :)
 
I only saw a little bit of Nightmare on Elm Street on TV when I was younger - my mum always tried to stop me watching scary films. But I really loved the bit I saw, so I really want to see that film too...

Bet you enjoyed that popcorn too :)

LOL!! Comfort food is needed when watching Freddy! I still am afraid of the first one I saw as a kid. Scary!!!

Hey I saw the movie on tuesday Loved it....but I am still not sure about the new Freddie, I still prefer the old one!!
 
Jess where are you... i have an idea. I'm going to pester you on facebook til you come back. :) hehehe

LOL!! Its actually the last message you sent me that got me back on here. :rolleyes: I say it everytime: NEED to be on this site in order to stay on track... I'm gonna try real hard to stay on here again :)

Haven't been as good as I coulda been the last coupla weeks; missed the gym more than I've made it... horrible.
Things have changed for me a little bit in the last coupla weeks also- decided to go back to school, annnnd I'm scrapping all the work I've already put into a business degree to go into the medical field... haven't exactly decided with a certainty what I wanna do yet, but in September I start my prerequisites for most areas. I owe this to hating my job and realizing that I need a real career; gonna finish school and get the hell outta here for a while. FOR MY SANITY, I must do so. Nailed down my vacation- going to Minnesota the last week of August, sooo excited! Everyone makes fun of me for going to MN on vacay every year, but its where my moms whole side of the family lives, and I miss them tons, so I'm super excited to get outta here. I wanna lose 20lbs before I go- I cannnnn do it! Gotta get my motivation back up. Haven't been motivated to do anything lately.

Anyway, I'm gonna really try to stay on here more often(i know, i know... I say this every time, lol!) so I should be back tomorrow!
 
Great Job Jess!! :D!!!!


DECIDE.COMMITT.SUCCEED. You know YOU CAN do this!!! Stop PUTTING it off now!! Your NEW LIFE is waiting! :hurray:

Keep that mentality like it is, and GET up and fire up that HARD BUSTING ass woman, that ROCKS the gym like I've NEVER seen anyone do!!! :gnorsi:

You are the MOST determined woman, I've EVER seen, when you get FOCUSED!! I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS!!! It's insane how motivated you can get, and the reality is that you are holding yourself from the happiness YOU DESERVE! (We all are...) And...WE DESERVE IT!!!

Like Jillian Michael's says....This SHIT isn't gonna come EASY!! You are going to have to FIGHT FOR IT!!!"

Do it Jess,...I challenge you to start BATHROOM workouts with me!!! Let's CRUNCH the shit out of these Pounds and STOMP THEM IN THE FACE!!! LET'S FACE OUR ISSUES! WE ARE STRONG BITCHES and WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

....hear that treambling :bigear: .....That's THE FIRE within us ROARRRRRRRRRRRING~!!!!!~~~~!!!!! :reddevil: Be....SCARRED...be very SCARRED...cause we FIGHT for CHANGE!!! And if you stand in our way, we will FIGHT you down too!!!! RAAAAAAAAAARWWRWRWRRRRRRR!!!! ;)!hahaha

...serious though. 2010 is still your year. Make it so. Fight for it. Every day. No excuse. Especially when you don't want to! We can do it. It's those workouts that you don't want to do, that matter the MOST! Fuck that. You control. You deserve it as much as any other thin, fit, skinny, person out there. That's what I'm understanding and reminding myself and others about. WE DESERVE OUR GOALS TO COME TRUE! Set a mini goal. And fight for it. FOCUS, JESS! We can do this!! Now is a great time to start!

Holy crap Alta that pumped ME up! :)

Jess- SOOO glad I can bug you into coming back. I saw a few updates a while ago of you sayin you were goin out and im like ahhhh i better check and see how shes doin. Glad to see you back here though! I missed you!

If you want, you and I can be in our own little weight loss challenge together if that helps you any... I know if im in a challenge I tend to stick more to my guns rather than going out and downing 6 margaritas... just food for thought, let me know. I can even put like $20 on it and mail it to you if I lose :) I don't know what kind of incintive you need to keep on this stong until end of August. But I sure could use some help to finally push through and stop yo-yoing between 232 and 227. I want to be out of the 200s already!

Anyways, let me know what you think. You know how to get ahold of me. :)
Love you and lets get this goin!!!
 
I know you can lose those 20 pounds. You have always been a great support to me - telling me to hang in there when I felt like I needed to take the easy way out. You can do this. :)
 
Hey Jess How are you? Glad to hear you are going back to school! I think that is a great idee that way you can end up with a career you enjoye and not just a paycheck!!!! Hope to see you on here more often I have missed your updates!!! Take care, you can lose that 20lb if you really want to!
 
Alta: gotta tell ya- I SAVED that post to my phone so that everytime I wanna pig out I can read it and get re-motivated! Love it. Although I did eat ice cream :blush5: ... I'm still workin on things!
Sometimes its so hard to just stay on track, and go to the gym, and count the calories that I just wanna throw the towel in, eat till I'm 500lbs and just give up. But I have too many plans for my life that involve being HEALTHY and STRONG that I know that quitting isn't an option... I just wish that the shit would click in my brain and EVERYTIME I saw a horrible item of food that I wanna nom on that same shit would scream STOP! STEP AWAYYYYY.

Ashley- would LOVE to do a competition! I don't think money is required tho :)


Alright; today is a day off. Drinking LOADS of water, had a cucumber sandwich for lunch(relatively healthy, minus all the bread :rolleyes: ) and working on the remodel of my bedroom. Working on a terrific day!
 
Oh.My.God. STILLLLL working on my stupid bedroom. Damn these old houses! Its really small, so there isn't a whole lot I can do in the first place, but one thing is getting rid of the carpet. The people who owned this house before us laid new carpet down right before they sold it... so ten years later we decide we're gonna put hardwood down. We start pulling up the carpet, and woolah! There is AMAZINGLY beautiful hardwood throughout the house. WHY would they cover that up?! Bizzarre. Anyway, so I'm starting to rip it outta my closet today, and jesus christ on a cracker, how many nails and staples go into a piece of carpet?! Redicccc! My arms are killing me from trying to pry up the staples, so I guess I need to up my arm workouts, lol! Anywho, just takin a break from it. Eff. I can't just LEAVE it, but goddamn do I wanna :rolleyes: haha.

Went out on Saturday night :blush5: drank a few too many shots... Didn't get drunk; but unfortunately I know the calories are NOT low in them at all. And I'm probably gonna have a few beers tonight. SIGHHHH. I don't normally drink very much, but when I'm trying so hard to get where I wanna be, thats when it seems like thats all I do, lol.

Alright; back to the carpet pulling, eff.
 
I have no idee why people would spend all that money on dust and germ collecting carpet so no idee why they would cover up beautiful hardwood!
The fact that the floors are there are saving you money at least and mabe you could count the pulling as part of your arm work out!

Eat til you are 500lbs and then what? Die? :///

....is that really going to solve the problem? ....What is the problem Jess?

....I ask myself these things all the time:

-What is it -lack of support?
-Lack of belief in yourself?
-Why?
-Did someone make you believe that you wouldn't succeed if you try?
-Did someone put you down growing up that made you feel like it wasn't worth getting up one more time to try again?
-Did no one support you?
-If there was a someone?
-Who was that someone?
-Evaluate where that someone has been, what they have done with their life,...and realize where the source of that misinformed believe system came from in our mind?
-Is it ok for everyone else to acheive their goals and you not reach yours?
-And if so, why?
-Where did you get that thought from?
-Do you think it's true?
-If not, then why don't you change?
-Are you afraid of failure?
-Is it easier to NOT do something, than to try and not succeed?
-Why don't you try and expect less?
-What is it you are hiding from?
-What are you trying to escape in your life?
-What are you trying to take a break from in your life?
-Is it that bad, that you are slowly killing yourself, and sometimes rapidly?
-Shit,..then what the heck is it?
-Does food make it so much better? Or worse? Does eating something take away the problem or add to it?


......JESS!!! You are WORTH IT!! ....Who ever gave you the belief system that you weren't WORTH fighting for...even if it was YOU,...you were and are WRONG!!!....It's just a discipline Jess. Nothing is coming over night. Mountains aren't gonna be moved over night. But if you give your body as an offering to God to receive a BLESSING...by allowing him to use your body to play and exercise himself through you, daily 30 mins a day for exercise and eating good, over TIME, Jess,...he will SHOWER you with great gifts!!! Like GREAT HEALTH, and FITNESS, and MORE beauty. You are already worth it JESS!!! You are smart, determined, and beautiful, and an athlete inside. You just have to allow for God to USE you and take YOU (one of his favorite toys named JESS) out of his TOY CHEST and PLAY with you!!! Exercise you and knock the dust off daily for 30 mins. :D!!! I've been doing it....2 weeks strong!! ...:) Try it Jess!
 
Guys- I'm still here! I've been working on my bedroom so everything I own is buried... including my laptop, so I can't type a ton on my teensy little phone keyboard, lol. Anyway, should be back to normal in a few days. I've been doin reasonably well- been counting cals and eating tons of fruit and veggies, butttttt did drink a lotta beer last night... couldn't help it! Having sushi tonight, very excited! Hope I don't overeat, lol. Anyway, I'll be back soon :)

Nat- glad to see you back on here!!!!
