). The amount of cardio will probably vary, depending on how I feel. I need to listen to my body since I have a tendency of working too much and I don't want to get overtrained.
Love the plan hun!! Very well thought out and organized! Best of luck with it all!

Just wanted to say hi! AJ is the BEST butt kicker..I swear she's everyones personal cheerleader!
I know, AJ is great, it's hard to find a more positive and sweet person
aww you guys are too sweet! 
Keep an eye on me
NOOOO save me!! I dont want to be a cheerleader! Ill be a mascout, anything! Ill even dress up as a crazy bird!
I like the new journal and your exercise/diet plan looks great! I'm glad to see you have some rest days in there too. Looking forward to seeing you soon hottie 
Your support means a lot to me We're in this togeter ya know I'm looking forward to seeing you too honey Wearing my goal jeans
But, I know that I can do better, and this journal was the first step on the way. I feel really motivated now and I am going to get in the best shape of my life Starting today, with baby steps, we're going to make it happen. She needs a lot of kicks in the butt to get on track, but that's what I'm here for. , as well as the emotional support of a friend. I'll keep you updated
It hurts me to see her waste so much energy feeling bad about herself and I really hope I can help her. I know what it's like wasting energy like that and I think I could learn a lot through helping her too

Originally posted by Stacey Hi Jenny!! Just wanted to tell you thats great what your doing for your friend. I know she appreciates it so much!! Your wonderful. I helped out my friend last year..she too was afraid of gyms..but knew she wanted to lose weight. We met every morning almost and walked together and went to my apartment gym b/c nobody was there.. She lost some weight--started eating better--and was SO happu-- She even joined 24hour fitness!! I was so proud!! Then she got pregnant--but shes already asking me for help again now that her baby is born. I know you will have a positive reaction to your friend as well-- Just be there for her!~
|
That's what I'm planning to do too, taking her on powerwalks and stuff. We went to the gym yesterday when it was almost empyt and she really enjoyed it She worked hard too and I told her how well she was doing, which I know is important to her. She had a good first experience and will go with me one more time this week! I'm excited to start working on her diet too, but it will all be itty bitty changes each time so she won't be overwhelmed |

Originally posted by Jenny I don't eat protein bars, so I can't really say that. To me it is cheat food and an okay solution to a sweet craving every now and then, but I wouldn't use it regularly. To me all protein bars taste like crap and I'd take real food over it any day
|
And I did give you the bars cause I didn't like them and went straight for the Butterfingers We will soon
:3x8
Hope you have a wonderful day!
I am having a good day I slept too little so thermos keep me going today Though I'm really motivated after gym today, I saw some new definition coming in

It was a major workout I'll tell ya When I got back I carried even more stuff and put things together.. So, I'm beat 
But my room looks soooo pretty
You guys DO know it's swedish, right? Just like H&M We are slowly taking over the world It was really nice to go to Ikea in Chicago and buy some swedish food to treat Justin's family with
It's better now but still here. This time it's Aunt Flo though.. My cramps are way worse when I'm not on BC, which can be hard sometimes. Didn't sleep much and am really tired 
Personally, I'd rather add another small meal than consume Detour, U-Turn etc. |

aww Jenny hope things are better for today and you get feeling better! I hope I can get to meet you someday, that would be wonderful
Except my superheavy tummy cramps (I was cooking it to bring to school, but then I ended up missing my bus and eating it ) It helped my cramps too 
Not drinking though, cause I think I'll have to take painkillers for my cramps and don't want to mix em with alcohol 
My tummy cramps are really bad.. I might not be able to go dancing
Awww hun!!!! did you take some meds? hot bath? put a hot water bottle or heated blanket on your tummy?? Hope that something works!! Id hate to see you miss out on dancing sweetie!
You are so sweet!

Originally posted by Jenny Thanks hon You are so sweet! I have been taking painkillers all day but it doesn't help.. Am having a hot pillow on my tummy now and it makes it better. Though I am so not in a dancing mood anymore Jen, you shouldn't let those guys opinions matter when you decide who you want to be. It's easier said than done, I know. If you feel like YOU wouldn't feel comfortable being bigger, then you shouldn't try to. It would be a damn shame if you didn't give BB your best shot, cause you have such a great body for it. Maybe you'd rather get into Fitness though, the options are endless. I'm just going to focus on leaning out now. I don't care if I loose a little mass while doing cardio, it's not a big deal to me. Right now I really don't think about competing at all, it's just not my thing I think. Maybe it will be over time, maybe not. Thank you so much for always being here Jen, you are a great friend

Originally posted by atherjen aww sweetie I hope that your evening turns out well!! *hug* you are compeltly right Jenny. Ive always done my own thing regardless of waht anyone else thought of me. and I still continue to do so... its just sooo frustrating sometimes. I dont think that I want to be any bigger. Im pretty sure. I dont want to be a huge manly bb. getting into more serious figure might be cool.. aside from it just being a flavvy out of shape bikini contest around here compared to the awesome shows elsewhere. I completly RESPECT your decision girl. do what you feel is best for you and what you want!! thats the most important. just trying to better yourself is all that counts. Your way may not seem right to others but heyyy were only human and all diff (gosh I need to start to listen to myself eh!! ) your such a great person to talk to hun. means a ton to me!! and Im always here for you as well! Hope the day brightens up for you!!

It's so nice to have you around to support me, it keeps me going Aww, we'd have so much fun!! Though it's not final whether I'm going or not, but hopefully I am. The exchange thing is a long process with contracts and stuff, but hopefully I'll get some good news soon I know, IKEA rocks!! I love decorating and I can't wait to decorate a whole home someday But I am one tired chica right now 
yee haww!! thats so cool that you got to run the class hun! Awesome! Im sure that spinning class this morning is def going to help ward off the cramping today!
I hope today is a much better day. |
Originally posted by Jenny Whew, when I came to the gym today about 7 min before the class started, I found out that the spinning instructor was sick and they didn't have anyone teaching it. The class was full too! Of course I did my duty and RAN (sprinting is more like it) home to get my spinning music and taught the class. It went really well But I am one tired chica right now
|
I'm feeling good today It wasn't a biggie teaching the spinning, I was going to do the class anyways and now I got paid I had my music ready from my Tuesday class, so it was just fun Her family eats bad and she lives at home so it's going to be hard for her to change. I've set up some mini-goals for her for the coming week though
Thats great what you're doing with Johanna sweetie

we can make it through it!
I want my oats and brown rice I was thinking of going spinning today, but I might not, energylevels aren't great

Originally posted by Jenny Ack, I'm missing Justin so much today... 41 days.. I hope they go by quickly. It's so hard being apart some days, but he's worth all of the missing, the craving and the longing..
|
Two 60 min cardio session and no carbs do NOT go together However I was SO bored and was missing Justin so much I HAD to do something and spinning sounded good It was okay when I got there, but after I felt really weak. High carb today though
When I saw those pics this morning it made me go like this --->

Originally posted by Eggs Honey, your pics looked sooo good today. You've gotten really lean, I'm impressed how well you are doing When I saw those pics this morning it made me go like this ---> Yeah, you drive me bananas
|
I just had to do something though It was fun taking them for you This bod can't wait to have yours next to it And honey, PUT DOWN THE COOKIE I took some new pics today and sent to Justin, that's the pics he's talking about. I might post some in my gallery
I see you have a trip planned in March YEAH!!!!! SO how is school going?????

Originally posted by shortstuff Hey missy how are you doing hot thing I see you have a trip planned in March YEAH!!!!! SO how is school going?????

You're back now? For good? School is good! I'm working on getting an exchange year in Virginia next fall! It's just up to the Uni to decide now! ) It felt really good though )
YEAH!!!!
i just saw your pics....what the heck you been doing? you look soooo much leaner
Justin is coming over this time, not me No real news on the exchange, it's a lot of formalities needing to be taken care of by the Universities since they've never had students coming over from here before.. Actually I've been less strict, allowing myself to cheat almost every week. Cardio has been the same and I started carb cycling again a week ago. My pants are so loose, pants I bought in the end of november that were TIGHT back then are hanging around my butt.. I like it
He's going to be here all summer too, working at my dads company
damn thats sooo wonderful....can i come to the wedding? give us some notice.
I thought I'd told you already I hope I'll get news about the exchange soon. If I don't get in (they pretty much have to accept me or they're breaking against the exchange organisations rules), Justin will probably be able to take online classes from his University and stay here in Sweden with me So, whatever the news will be, it looks like we will be together starting late May
way to go! I knew the hard work was paying off!
I'm NOT GETTIN MARRIED! J'bo, LOOK what you started .. End of rumour, I'm not getting married.. not yet
But, without a doubt, I'm madly in love with Jenny

Originally posted by Eggs Haha, we have a while yet before that. Right now we're just going to enjoy the snuggling and finishing up our degrees But, without a doubt, I'm madly in love with Jenny

I'm madly in love with you too 
You are amazing and you make me the happiest girl in the whole world
We're happy damnit, smile with us
So, hopefully I'm moving by the end of August My pants are sooooo baggy I can't believe it
Your doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was good too I bought it yesterday and it's now settled that I can't have any in the house I put some nasty mustard in it so I wouldn't eat anymore and will throw it away
Well I am so super happy that you get to dpend some great time with Justin I am super jealous. Well Missy off to study, NICE JOB!!!!!

Originally posted by shortstuff OMG Jenny you crack me up missy Well I am so super happy that you get to dpend some great time with Justin I am super jealous. Well Missy off to study, NICE JOB!!!!!

I am still a happy chick though, I can handle a little cheat.. Well not really but it's done The jar is now officially gone
It looks like I'm five months preggo Don't beat yourself up over the peanuts honey, just try to stay away from them from now on I know I'm never buying pb again 
did someone say a JAR of PB!! Jenny you are my kinda gal! lol we are so much alike. Ive ate a jar a few times before too mmm hope you enjoyed! and you deserved it with all the hard work! like that makes it better
Hi sweetie, I love seeing your countdown, it's nice Hope your well babe......
I guess my appetite was low after all that peanutbutter I had wednesday. I was working on a scrap book of my trips to US this winter all day and kinda lost track of time between meals Love does that to people
I know leg day isn't the day to do HIT, but I had some time to kill before school
I know that you found that you could be an exchange student and that rocks! How is that going? It's also nice to see someone else doing as much cardio as me Between running and biking it's almost everyday for me! I'll add swimming soon in hopes of doing a triathalon in June I know..I'm nuts! So glad things are working out for you
A marathon? That's awesome! I plan on doing one of those someday. As for right now, I'm just going to do a 12k in March though. I do one every year. To busy with school to seriously train for a marathon right now. Plus, my trainer is killing me trying to cut my cardio down. Bleh.
The fact that I've kept getting results and been able to get away with cheating has made me continue cheating, but after last nights cheat I felt myself going in the wrong direction. I've written, printed and signed a commitment contract, where my new plan is written. I'll copy and paste here:) But I'm a silly girl and I think this will help me I've got my signed, printed copy nicely written with a nice font and I'm going to keep it where I can see it everyday. Saying "I'm not going to cheat for 5 weeks" is easy to say, but I had to think really hard to decide that I was really going to do it. It's so easy to make easy promises like that, without really backing them up in your mind and really BELIEVING that you will follow through. Well, now I feel I will, I've decided I will and I believe I will follow though

Nope, no news yet, hopefully I'll get some next week. These things takes time, that's what I keep hearing I've been thinking of triathlons too, SHORT ones, but I really suck at swimming so I don't think it's a good idea I did a half marathon last summer and might do it again this year. My knees are really bothered by running though, so I doubt I'll be able too
I know you can do it though, and you're going to look soooo good when I get there
You better prepare, cause I'm going to rock
Once again, you are an inspiration to me....

I'm behind you 100%
You are so sweet I'm feeling really motivated to kick some ass right now Let's support each other You inspire me too you know and I know we go through the same struggles sometimes But, I don't really think it's silly, cause I know that it will help me The biggest enemy in this is my own mind and the way it works sometimes. I need to find my ways to get around it and I think this is something in the right direction
She is allowed to have a cheat meal once a week, and had one yesterday. She emails her meals to me every night before bed and reads my comments of them the next morning. We've gone to the gym 2 times for weights and that is all I'll make her do for now, we will work our way up to 4 times eventually For cardio she does powewalks in the AM at least three times a week and if she feels like it, one cardio class. Tomorrow I'm going to teach her how to cook chicken breasts in bulk and freeze them, she's not a great cook We will also take measurements and pics with a digitalcamera. She is doing great and I'm so proud of her! Next week I'll add another powerwalk and gradually change the eating a little more.. It's all about baby steps
Let's work harrrrrrrd
)
your friend is SOO lucky to have you help her! your helping her in the right way! I enjoy it Today I went there and taught her how to cook the chicken and took measurements and pics. She has a long way to go, but she'll get there Where is Justin when I need him Might skip spinning today, my body is a bit tired and my knees felt funny on the stationary this morning.. Not a good sign
I'm glad you get to see your honey in March, hopefully these next weeks will fly by for you.
I can really feel that it's a no carb day It's almost over though and tomorrow is high carb 
I've been following my plan perfectly since I signed that contract, it has changed my mind set You are all such great friends to me too, you keep me sane ), so this was the first kind of warning signal. Hopefully the resting I've been doing will help 
It's 8:53 PM here right now It's NO CARB day today and I think I left my brain on my pillow when I got up this morning 
It wasn't a freudian slip, I promise I think I need to call you cooly for a few weeks to make up for it Haha, I laughed so hard when I reread my post
) thanks for reminding me Have a good day
I had a good weekend with my friends thank you TIRED of oats!!!???! That must be the biggest sin over here I still love my oats, I'm making my yummy protein pancakes with them and my egg whites But I must admit, sweet potatoes rock! I'm going to have them all the time when/if I move to the states! Thanks sweetie, have a great day

. Do you ever put peanut butter in your oatmeal. It's yummy!!
Yep, my mission is going really well, I haven't nibbled on anything outside of the plan. Special surprises are great, I love being romantic! Nope, I don't buy pb anymore. I can't control it, so I cut myself off
However, according to my contract I can't have any more today, so I won't I stared the small bowl of almonds my mom left out on the table down and didn't take a single one Now that's what I call dedication It does look like I'll be able to go, but we don't want to take anything for granted until the fat lady sings
No class today?
It's in a really bad neighbourhood and I usually don't go there when it's dark.. Now it's dark and I'm scared
and i gotta stare at those...its all worth it though right jenny
Just wanted to tell you that so you wouldnt worry about her.
