Morning Jenny!!

naturaltan · 10-06-2004, 09:23 AM

ok ... so one can over do it. I always revert back to my boxing days for advice. Run in the morning for cardio, go to work, run to warm up for the boxing gym ... and repeat 5 days a week.

Jenny · 10-06-2004, 09:43 AM

Yeah, that would probably work. 2 rest days per week would allow you to recover. I've just been doing cardio 7 days a week the past weeks.. Which isn't good, I need at least one rest day..

Jenny · 10-06-2004, 09:43 AM

Brit, I'll try

Thanks

Me too

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 04:19 AM

Off to 7am spinning

I don't really feel like it to tell you the truth.. Didn't sleep all to great cause my LOUD roomate (I swear, she talks 4 times louder than normal people) was up late!

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 04:37 AM

I canceled my spin class, just didn't feel right. Signed up for one tonight. Migh cancel the one tonight too though if I don't feel like going

ncgirl21 · 10-07-2004, 06:44 AM

Morning hottie!!

Sorry about the noisey roomie!

Don't sweat the spin class babe- with all that walking you do you probably burn a gizillion cals anyhow

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 07:29 AM

Hey Andrea!

Yeah, she talks sooooooooo loud.. It's so anoying. Like last night she was talking to another girl out in our living room and I couldn't hear what the other girl said (not that I was trying, I wanted to SLEEP), but my roomie was just talking so loud I felt like she was next to me in bed

I'm having a hard time hanging out with her lately, just try to avoid her as much as possible.

I have to go spinning tonight.. Don't feel like it but I really should.

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 07:31 AM

I just want to cry.. So much school work to do. I have 4 exams in one week, starting next week

It's all so different from the swedish school system and I'm having a hard time understanding all of it

I feel really pressured to work out LOTS right now, even though it's me putting the pressure on myself. It's like I want to push myself to work out more and harder when I have other stressors in my life too. I feel exhausted!!

Jill · 10-07-2004, 08:06 AM

Smile my little J.

I hope your day gets better.

greekblondechic · 10-07-2004, 09:25 AM

Take a few days off to recharge and use your free time to do fun stuff, not work out. Don't burn out.. don't let it happen hon. School is tough I know, I cried MANY times. You absolutely must take time off for yourself, or else you will go crazy. Please relax honey.

Katia7 · 10-07-2004, 10:19 AM

Hey hun,
You can do it! It's just a couple of weeks and then the exams will be over and you'll be able to take a break.
I'm sitting here trying to get myself motivated to work too lol. Sending resumes is sooooo borring.

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 05:41 PM

Thanks girls

I feel a little better. A lot better actually. Justin took good care of me, I cried a little and he just held me and talked things through with me. That helped so much. Then he prepared a hot bath for me with bath salt, bubbles and candles

(I don't have a bath tub in my bathroom, only a shower) He put some Norah Jones and then left for his afternoon class. I had a wonderful relaxing bath. Justin is so wonderful

Baths together are great, but sometimes a bath on your own is just right

Didn't eat for more than 6 hours though which wasn't a good thing.. I just wasn't hungry and lost the track of time..

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 05:47 PM

Thursday:

Meals:
1: 6 whites, 1.5 cup kashi, salsa
2: 4 oz chicken, 1 slice lc bread, veggies, ff ranch
3: 5 oz chicken, 0.5 cup kashi, lc milk, veggies, salsa, 6 almonds
4: 6 whites, veggies, salsa, gelatin, light whip, 6 almonds

totals:
1403 cals
162g protein52%
83g carbs 25%
31g fat 23%

WG pulldowns: 4x7-8

Felt great

Jenny · 10-07-2004, 05:48 PM

Had to increase cals in my two last meals since I missed a meal today. It will be on a decent level, but still pretty low after my 4th meal. I will make up for it tomorrow

Jill · 10-07-2004, 08:51 PM

Yummy, I see almonds!!! I bought Steve a big jar of roasted peanuts-everytime I open the pantry I see them.

Ive only had about 5-6 whole peanuts in total

What is kashi

BTW Justin is a keeper for sure. How sweet he is.

I didnt know you were only 20!

aggies1ut · 10-07-2004, 09:11 PM

Kashi is cereal.

aggies1ut · 10-07-2004, 09:12 PM

Jenny · 10-08-2004, 04:57 AM

Jill, yep, I can finally control my almond eating

Hey don't you complain about some little peanuts, try having open bags of chocolate under your nose and fresh baked brownies and rice crispies on the counter in the kitchen

I look old?

Aggies, thanks for explaining

Jill · 10-08-2004, 07:38 AM

Kashi is cereal? I saw a guy on a weight loss show that used it for a beef substitue for tacos.

I though you were in your mid 20's. Goss I am old...

What on the agenda this weekend hottie?

Jenny · 10-08-2004, 10:03 AM

Kashi is cereal

Lots of fiber, more protein

Nope, I'll be 21 in november

Justin is 25.

This weekend.. Tonight I'll probably go to a party, but I won't drink. 4 exams next week, need to get a lot of work done

naturaltan · 10-08-2004, 10:39 AM
