Okay Crys, it has officially been 14 days since your last post....what's up with that? It has officially been 10 for me, and I feel I guess to a point that no one is going to read it so, why bother? But, nonsense, it is an outlet for me, and a way for me to see that I am working hard and that the results are paying off.
So, I haven't posted my weight in a while, and although I am no where near being on schedule to be a flat 200 by the time I come see you, I am still doing well. 3 weeks or so ago, I was at 224 I am back down to 215.5. That is great, makes me feel like I am on may way down again.
Last night didn't go so well for me regarding dinner. I of course had money on me (Mistake one) and mistake 2 was that I felt like I deserved a reward for all my hard work. So, what did I go off and do? Ordered stuffed sopapillas with Rice and Beans and it so could have fed 2 people, but it ALL ended up in my belly! But, what's done is done, all I can do is make better choices again starting today. I did well for the most part of the week, so I am not going to beat myself up too bad about it.
So, I don't think I have disclosed this to you, but I have been getting up around 530 or 6 each morning to go do my workouts. Seeing how I really don't want Caleb in daycare longer than he needs to be, I decided I had to figure a way out that I could still work out and not comprimse this want. So, the only option I had was to go workout early in the morning when Jeff was still home. So, in turn I have deepened my sleep deprivation, but I have continued the opportunity for me to exercise. But, what I have noticed is that I am not getting the most out of my workouts because my body is plum tired. I am just not the type of person I guess that can run healthy on 5 1/2 hours of sleep. I was thinking that tomorrow I would allow myself to rest, but am feeling guilty for even thinking about that, besides I need to do some weight training. We'll see.
Love ya,
Jenn

470...
Okay, so I am at work right now and don't have much time but I wanted to get on here since I haven't lately.
This is what I ate/have with me today:
B-1/2 bagel with cream cheese and cherries
L-Spinach and shrimp salad, with strawberry yogurt and I added in fresh strawberries, blueberries, and pecans
D-turkey breast wrap with real light mayonnaise and watermelon
S-I have more of the yogurt from above I didn't eat it all for lunch
I did go to the gym and did 3 rounds on the circuit burning 470 calories! I am not feeling well so I did not do anymore, I wish I could have did the treadmill, but I think that the calories I burned was sufficient.
Okay girlie, I am going to end the post here.
Love ya,
Jenn

Well....
i am not dieting so to speak but the one thing that I can say for myself is that I again have cut soda from my diet because even though I drink diet soda i think that it is part of the problem because when I gave it up for lent I did alot better! I also have been getting out of the house each and every day for the last few weeks and walking around alot. i wish i was eating really well too because if I was I am telling you that I would have lost more weight for sure! I have to start finding the time to get to the gym still it is making me crazy! I will though some day....
ok well I just wanted to undate a little here and let you know what has been going on with me.
Love ya!
Crystal

Down.....
First, make sure you look at the post before this one!
Second, this is what I ate/drank today:
B-1 medium pancake with a small amount of maple syrup and 2 slices of turkey bacon
S-none
L-Grilled cheese sandwich with 1/2 banana and 1/2 a mango
S-4 honey wheat pretzel sticks and a bit of pecans
D-Oven roasted chicken breast salad with a little cheese, banana peppers, black olives, cucumber, tomatoes, and honey mustard dressing
Drinks: 1/2 cup of OJ, 1/2 cup of cranberry, 30 oz (about) of green iced tea, and well so far a liter of water, and working on another.
I am going to the gym tomorrow so I am hoping to burn about another 500 calories, that would be awesome. Jeff made a good point that right now I am doing good because although I am not dropping weight like crazy, I am feeding my body healthy, nutritious food, and giving my body a good work out from time to time, and will be getting more consistant.
I have noticed that since I am on my 5th day without Dr. Peppers, I am not as bloated and I have dropped...drum roll please.....3lbs!!!!!!!!!! Thats right down 3 lbs!! I am hoping to keep dropping 2-3 lbs a week. I am really going to cut down on my carb intake, and try really really hard to stay away from Dr. Peppers, and coffee. I know you will be proud of me to know that I DID NOT stop and get that white chocolate mocha I'd wanted so bad. I drove right past and bought water before I got to work. I have read many times that green tea has some type of natural chemical that speeds up your metabolism. So, guess what is on my shopping list from now on?
If I can lose a minimum of 2 lbs a week then I would lose 16 lbs before I come see you and that would put me right around 204. But more importantly I would be only 35 lbs from my goal. I watched a show last night on TLC called the 650 lb virgin, and he lost 440 lbs WITHOUT WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. If he can do it, then I can do it too, and so can you!
Okay girlie, I have given you enough to read. Hope you had a fantastic day.
Talk to you soon,
Jenn

Wits end....AGAIN
Crys,
Sorry you are having it out with your neighbor, she really needs to get a grip on things. There is absolutelty nothing wrong with what Darren has been doing, she's just crabby and probably has some cobwebs she needs cleared out by a pipe cleaner! But I am proud of you for standing your ground, good girl!
Okay, so this is how my day went:
B-English muffin with butter and jam
S-None
L-Dominoes Chicken bacon ranch sandwich and like 6 boneless buffalo wings
S-none
D-None
S-Kashi Protien Bar
I got up at 510 or so this morning, got ready for work, had one hell of a day at work again, got off, went home. Tried to fall asleep but didn't until 530 or so and was back up at 710 this evening. So, by 510 tomorrow morning, I will have had that much sleep in a 24 hour period. When I got up at 7 this evening I decided to jump on the scale....HUGE MISTAKE......HUGE. The scale is stuck at one weight, and I am very disappointed that it hasn't gone down not even 1/2 a pound. So, I am at my wits end again. Although I do know that a good probablilty lies in the fact that I have been drinking more Dr. Pepper than normal. So, of course I am going to do my damndest to cut that out of my diet. Another problem that I am having is that it is time to go grocery shopping again, and I just have to wait until Friday, another 5 days, to try and figure out what the hell I am going to be eating.
I am starting to feel a depression coming on again, I think, and the hard thing is is that I don't want to be on any type of medication. So the all hailing question is how do I get myself out of this funk? Hopefully I can find a way.
You know, back to the whole weight thing, I have been working really hard this week at the gym, I wish I could have at least dropped a pound. What is so wrong?
Oh, by the way thank you very much for the wonderful comments, but my face is thin and then it looks like I have an inflated tire around the middle of me. You'll see in August. Right now I really wish that I could find a doctor that would perform the lapband on me. But as of yet, I haven't found anyone. UGH!
Okay, girlie, I am at work, and although it isn't busy, I can enver tell when it will get busy. So, I will let you go.
Talk to you soon.
Love ya,
Jenn

HIDEOUS ME & Handsome Caleb (Beauty: Caleb & the Beast Me)
Aerial View of the Falls
How now brown cow? (He was on the side of the road!)
Jeff & I (obvious?)
Okay, so here are a couple of pics, I am going to work on getting some of the house during the day with the yard so you can get an idea.
Really fast before I have to go to bed, I went to the gym today and did the treadmill and the circuit and burned like 580 calories! Woohoo! I hope I start seeing results soon.
Talk to you soon girlie. Thanks for being my friend and for being you!
Love ya,
Jenn
Okay, so I know that you have asked a couple of times for me to tell you how to do the text updates to the website and all you have to do is add Blogger under contacts with a number of 256447. Then when you want to send in a quick tidbit of information, just text it to that number. If it doesn't work let me know and we will se what is wrong and see if we can fix it.
So yesterday at the gym I did not do the treadmill and the circuit, I decided to do the treadmill and then do some weight lifting. I wanted to go walking with the family last night, but when we got Caleb in the car he fell asleep, so we just turned around and went home. Tonight I will do the circuit and the treadmill, and then we will see what I will do for extra calorie burn tonight. I know that the dogs need a bath, the cars need to be washed, and the yard needs to be cut. So we will just wait and see.
So today I started my day off rough. I cried all the way to work because my grandmother is on my mind. Then to top it off I realized that I didn't bring my glasses, so I am having a hard time seeing.
Alright girlie I will try and call you when I get off work which is 5 your time.
Love ya,
Jenn

So I ate like crap today again and my computer is acting up again. Two very nice things. Ha
Jenn when we talk next I need you to help me with the posting from cell phone thing that you do. I think it will help me be more honest about what I am eating and feeling over these next few weeks while I get through all this worrying about gab stuff.
Love ya and sorry I missed your call the land lord was here and was having some guy fix the garbage disposal which upset gab but then after they left Johns step brother who gab is always worried about came over for a while and she was good with him. Even walking around near him while he was talking in a big loud man voice. So she is getting better and I am glad.
Love ya!
Crystal

Set
The date is set for my vacation, in regards to work. I am planning on taking vacation the 30th of August through the 6th of September. I am just afraid that I won't be able to get a vacation package on the 15th of August, like I could now. It is 2 weeks in advance, so I am hoping htat I will be ok. Now, I just have to find money to get a couple of new outfits, by the way what is the weather like up there at that time?
Okay I guess that is all for now.
Jenn
