Jenny is improving

J'Bo · 12-09-2003, 09:26 AM

It is mostly the same program however some of the sets are cut and i added another chest exercise...if you get burned out from the program just let me know and we will cut down more...this is an intense workout...i know i wouldnt do it personally...just too much and would be way too sore...but give it a try.

Jenny · 12-09-2003, 09:30 AM

I don't feel good at all!! I'm going to fail my big exam on friday and I just feel so stressed out about it.. I haven't done ANYTHING but studying and going to the gym since I got back from the states..

I just want to hide in a cave for two weeks and then go see Justin

Jenny · 12-09-2003, 09:32 AM

Okay, thank's Jen, I'll try it! Thank you for your time!

J'Bo · 12-09-2003, 09:55 AM

Jenny just breath and try to relax...take a hot bath have a nap and some comfort food and get a good place to study...you will do fine...your almost there so just concentrate on school right now...we are all behind you

go jenny go jenny go go go jenny

Jenny · 12-09-2003, 10:33 AM

It's not gonna help.. OMG I've never failed anything before.. I just can't focus anymore, my brain is like a ball of mush..

And I already had comfort almonds and they make me feel worse..

J'Bo · 12-09-2003, 10:38 AM

go do some cardio and study...then rest jenny...you need it...get up refreshed and start again...you can do it, put your

into it

shortstuff · 12-09-2003, 10:38 AM

Jenny you will do awesome, I feel the exact same way, go relax, read a book or take a soke in a bathtub. Trust me, take a break, your brain will thank you. Watch TV or something, trust me, stressing will not help the situatino at all.

You will kick ass, and then just think you can see Justin.

You are a smarty pants and will kisk ass.

Stacey · 12-09-2003, 03:25 PM

Jenny-- You can do it sweetie~ But you need to relax a little!!! Like the girls said~ Take a warm bath ( In Lavender IMO) --BUBBLES!!
Your SO Smart- And we all know you can do this-- Just smile & think how close you are to seeing Justin again-

Cheer up & Relax!!

Jill · 12-09-2003, 04:34 PM

Relax girl, dont be so hard on yourself!!!

How do you cook your egg whites, seeings that you eat so many of them!

Eggs · 12-09-2003, 09:03 PM

Hey you sexy thang

I hope you're feeling better this morning

Listen to the girls, they have good advice

Umm, and come see me soon, I'm pretty sure I promised you that I'd make you forget about all this stress and stuff. Wanna know how?

Missing you like caaaarrraaaazy honey!

Jenny · 12-10-2003, 12:06 AM

Thanks guys! You are too sweet.

Girls, I took a break last night. Screwed the diet, watched tv and enjoyed myself. Had almonds, ww crackers w. butter and whole grain bread. And fruit. Now of course I feel guilty, the morning after.. Ack, I hate hate hate feeling guilty. I'll be okay though. The test is not like any other exam, we're talking a big ass pass/fail test that around 50% of the students usually fail. I didn't do what I was supposed to for three weeks (being excited to see Justin, and being away), so I've had two weeks. There's a big chance that I actually do fail, but it isn't the biggest deal if I do, cause I can do it over again in Febuary and 3 times after that. The school system in Sweden is very different.

J'bo, I'm doing two modified days today and tomorrow with around 50g carbs each. I just can't do a no carb again tomorrow, I nedd all the brain power I can get.. Won't make Friday a super high carb day though, only for the first meals before/during exam. Exam is from 8:00-12.30. Your thoughts?

Justin, honey, thank you so much for cheering me up yesterday

You have no idea how much it meant to me. On the other hand, maybe you do

I can't wait to see you honey, that snuggling in front of the fireplace has never sounded better. Soon honey

Burner02 · 12-10-2003, 12:21 AM

g'morning!
so, you WILL be in the 50% that DOES pass. Just do it!
We believe in you, now go and believe in yourself.
We know that you know what you are doing and will do ust fine.
You needed lastnight! Let all the information you have been stuffing into that perty blond head of yours sink in and absorb. You have all of today, tonight and tomorrow morning to do some more studying. If you do not pass. (but you will) like you said, no biggie, regroup and nail it the next time! I had to go back and retake a portion of my realtors license exam..and it damn nar kiled me, but I buckled down and hammered it the next week!
You are so hard on yourself, we have been telling this to you for some time, so as JH'bo said, relax, breath, focus and kick ass!

Comfort almonds..that was funny..

I am off until I get abck from my vacation on the 21st! I may have pics of us when I come back to work the 22nd, and will post!
You behave, and I want to hear that you did AWESOME onh this exam!
mike

Jenny · 12-10-2003, 02:20 AM

Thanks Mike. I wish I could all believe in myself as much as you do. I usually feel like I'm in control before an exam but this time I don't

I'm over it now, I'm just going to go there and do the best I can. If I would have done what I was supposed to the 2 weeks before I left and done a little bit more while in the States, I would by all means have passed. I know that, but now it's different. If I do pass, then it's a whole lot of luck, me chosing the right things to study, since I can't possibly get it all down in 2 weeks. But thanks Mike, you're a great friend

Burner02 · 12-10-2003, 02:32 AM

woulda coulda shoulda. You sound as if you are already expecting to fail. Stop that mindset!
You were on vacation, you were not supposed to be studying...
Just look ahead, adn imagine yourself passing.
I do not know what else to tell you. YOu know what you hahve to do. I kow, that the timeline and stress helps me out.
But, that's me. I also wake up the day of the exam, say 'fuq it', relax and just go do it.

Rissole · 12-10-2003, 02:35 AM

Yeah listen to da B!!! Or we'll all get really mad at you....

Jenny · 12-10-2003, 02:56 AM

Haha, no, I'm not expecting to fail, but I do see it as a major possibility. I took a vacation during a REALLY bad time, during the hardest course in all of my 4 years of education ahead of me. We didn't have a Thanksgiving break, in fact we don't even have any break for Christmas, school in sweden is nice like that

Just let it go guys, I'll do my very best, you know that

Burner02 · 12-10-2003, 02:59 AM

I give my friends no slack. But I know you will do great!
good luck on this exam!
maybe this time next year, we can all be on a beach, having a great time!
(or at least in 'Vegas for the 'O'!)

Rocco32 · 12-10-2003, 05:15 AM

Good luck Jen!

J'Bo · 12-10-2003, 06:16 AM

Jenny...in some simple words from the trainer "fuq the diet and do what you want til your exam is over" school is much more important.

Jenny · 12-10-2003, 08:55 AM

Rock, thanks

J'bo, I'm not doing that. Doing that only adds about x10 the stress cause I'd be stressing over getting fat too

But thanks..

I can't go cheaters galore everytime I have a hard exam

Have done some good studying today. I'm still way behind, but I'll keep doing my best!

shortstuff · 12-10-2003, 08:58 AM

I know how you feel babe, I just took my bio final last night and even though I studied my butt off, I have no clue how I did, not nearly as confident as normal. At least you are prepared for anything.

Jenny · 12-10-2003, 09:05 AM

Aww, SS, I'm sure you did good! Don't stress about it now, it's done and over with. Yes, I am prepared for failing and it isn't the end of the world if I do, we don't get grades here, it's all about passing/failing. If I don't pass this time, I'll past next time. I just never failed any test and don't want it happening now either.
Thanks for your support

Thursday 11th:

Yesterday I had a really good study day! If I've picked the right things to study, I think I'll pass

But you never know if the teachers find the same things important as you do

Got too few meals in yesterday, will try getting all six in today. Have been 5 for a few days, but that's only a few cals low since it's been my 2nd protein shake missing. My hams are really hurting from workout yesterday, I like it! I have a hard time isolating them sometimes, but SLDL rocks

Bicpes, back and abs are also a bit tender. Justin, massage please!

Today is a very exciting day, a friend of mine (older than me) might be having a baby!! :banan:

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
