I wish I was on US time so I would have someone to play with on here

I wish we did that where I work!! Hell, they get pissed if you have to go to the bathroom

!

I bet your so excited to be moving to the US. I'm so happy for you and Justin. I think you'll like it over here, but then again I've never been to Sweden. I hear it's beautiful!! Maybe we could meet one day

Jenny · 06-22-2004, 06:55 AM

Burner, I won't be working in August

I wish you were here to play NOW!

NC, hey girl, I've missed ya!

So, I decided to confront him and tell him that it hurt me, cause I think it's so important for our inner peace to confront things like that and stand up for ourselves. I told him that I was offended by what he said and he said that he had just been joking and appologised. The swedish jealousy is an ugly thing I don't like, people here look down and talk smack about other peoples fortune in a way that I haven't seen in the US. I hate it, cause I'm not like that, I'm happy when other people have good things in their lives. Well, anyways, this was just a little thing on my "better self" journey, to stand up for myself and do things I normally wouldn't. It would be easier not to talk to him, but then I would have had that feeling about being stepped on for some time and allow it to supress my energy. I was actually shaking when I had told him, cause the whole situation was really weird, but I'm glad I did.

Afternoon break with Justin in 10 mins

Hey Jen!!! Sorry I haven't been around much but I started my internship and I have summer school so I am not around as much. I totally know how this goes because my parents own the business I work at when I can. And they pay me o help me pay rent and for my school expenses even when I don't work, but I do put in some major hours there sometimes but some people don't know that. The guy that works there has done the same thing to me and it really hurts because it is a shot at your self worth and at how much you work at the job and in other thingds in life, like school for both of uss. To me school is my full time job and other work comes after school. I wish I could say the jealousy thing does not happen in the US but it does, everywhere......you are so lucky you have not seen that side when you have come over.

keep up the great work hottie!!!

J'Bo · 06-22-2004, 09:11 AM

i think its time for me to start planning a road trip to meet my jenny

since your closer now

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 12:21 AM

B, that was just before I left

SS, I know, it's really not fun to hear. That guy has been sucking up to me ever since I confronted him, he doesn't want me to tell daddy I guess

J'Bo, YES, I think you do too!

You can stay HERE www.sunchase.net

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 12:27 AM

Wednesdays meals and workouts:

Meals:
1: 6 whites, 1 yolk, 1/4 cup brown rice
2: 1 dl whey, 1/4 slice wg bread, 1tsp butter (forgot fish oil and needed something to slow down digestion)
3: 5oz lean beef, 2/3 cup brown rice, veggies
Snack: 2 bites of a green apple. Left a sliced up apple on Justin's desk with a I

U note

It's fun working at the same place

4: 1 dl whey, 1/4 slice wg bread

Workouts:
*Cardio:
- AM: 25min powerwalk, I was so insanely tired after staying up watching Sweden play soccer yesterday. At 5 AM I was just sleepwalking, so I cut the walk short and went back to bed for 20 mins. It was worth it

ncgirl21 · 06-23-2004, 06:24 AM

Morning Sweetie!! Do you measure your rice before or after you cook it? Do you and Justin work together or just for the same company?

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 06:41 AM

Morning NC

I always measure it cooked, it would be a whole lot of carbs otherwise!
We both work for my dad at his company. It's a decent sized company though and we're not working together. He's working in the production and I'm in the office. But I sneak out to see him every hour

It's raining here

Jill · 06-23-2004, 07:21 AM

Steve is obsessed with soccer right now. I hardly see him! He even tapes the games and watches them later!

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 08:01 AM

Is he watching the European Championships? Ask him what he thought of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal the other day

I am a very patriotic soccer fan these days

ncgirl21 · 06-23-2004, 08:18 AM

Oh, that's so cool Jenny that ya'll get to work together!! I'm so happy things are working out so good for you

. Do you just have three meals a day or do you still have more to post?

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 08:21 AM

Andrea, thanks I know, it's really great

I remember last summer when the highlight of my workdays was to read PMs from Justin, before we had even met. Now I can just go out to say hi to him and give him a kiss

I eat 5-6 meals a day, when I get up as early as I do on workdays it's usually 6. I'm crazy hungry before my meals these days!

ncgirl21 · 06-23-2004, 08:22 AM

How long did you and Justin talk to eachother before you met?? That is so awesome that ya'll met on here! You make a gorgeous couple

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 08:27 AM

We started talking way back in the beginning of 2002, it was on musclemagazine before the whole gang moved here. I had a long time boyfriend during that time (we broke up in Jan 2003) so we were just friends with a spark back then

Then it just progressed

I always felt there was something special about him, even from the very beginning, but none of us could have DREAMED this would happen

It sounds just like a movie!! I hope you have a perfect fairy tale ending to go with it!

Jenny · 06-23-2004, 08:31 AM

I know, I think we'll write a movie script one day and have two hotties star as us

Yup, he's watching-he even goes into work late so he can watch certain games.

Steve just read this post-he said the goal was unbelievable, beautiful!!! He luvs the 'sweden' team also

J'Bo · 06-23-2004, 11:48 AM

I dont see why the two hotties cant be yourselves? BTW, I dont think Eggs is a hottie... I just wrote that because I hear the women do

Stacey · 06-23-2004, 10:42 PM

Hey Jenny!!

I'm sooo proud of you for standing up for yourself to that man you work with!

Thats so cute that you left Justin some apple with a love note

You guys are So Cute!! I'm so happy & honored that I have been able to watch your love grow for each other from back in the old days at Musclemag!!

You are truly an inspiring and amazing couple

Have a greattttt Thursday!!

Jenny · 06-24-2004, 02:40 AM

Jill, I agree with Steve, it was beatiful! I was jumping around doing a crazy dance when I saw it

We're playing against Holland on Saturday, that's going to be a tough one

J'bo: of course you can be in the movie

We should make "Ironmagazine - the movie" about all of us here

Actually it would be a pretty interesting documentary, having a camera following the people around and when we all meet IRL. I think I might have to sell this idea to some documentary producer

Premi, thanks

Stace, thanks

Yep, our story is pretty amazing

Don't feel honoured though, that's silly

We have made it through the rough part, being apart. It's hard sometimes to go from being a billions miles apart (well almost

) to being together 24/7. We have our problems too, just like every other couple

But we're working on them and we are happy to be together

Jenny · 06-24-2004, 02:44 AM

Yesterday I was crazy hungry all day

Not just a little bit hungry but CRAZY hungry! Don't know what was going on

Anyways, I decided to have a little refeed last night. All clean, and pretty weak

Apart from my planned meal of chicken and veggies, I had 3 slices wg bread and 2 potatoes. And some cottage cheese. Um, so maybe it wasn't a refeed, just a little up in cals. When I went to the corner store yesterday I considered buying something sweet, but I just couldn't, Impossible! Which is a good thing

Jenny · 06-24-2004, 02:45 AM

Meals and workouts Thursday:

Meals:
1: 7 whites, 1 yolk, 2 tbsp brown rice (was cooking for lunch)
2: 1 dl whey
3: 5 oz chicken, 1/2 cup b rice, veggies
4: 1 dl whey
5: 5 oz lean pork, 1/2 slice wg bread, veggies, 8 almonds

Workouts:
- Back and Biceps

ncgirl21 · 06-24-2004, 06:49 AM

It must have been something in the air yesterday cause I was STARVING too!!

. I ended up adding in another meal as well!!

Morning hottie!! Have a good day

shortstuff · 06-24-2004, 09:46 AM

Jen you are so adorable

Darren and I are doing so much better since my PMS has died down. I think with my crazy new schedule with school and everything I have just been a bit too stressed.
