Swedish Invasion

atherjen · 08-30-2004, 10:12 AM

I love biology/physilogy and health classes too!

Sounds like you and Justin had a super weekend! Great run today!

Jenny · 08-30-2004, 10:16 AM

Thank AJ

The hills really make my butt and hams work hard

jfrance · 08-30-2004, 05:28 PM

Hi, Jenny. You really do have a spectacular journal. I've read the whole prep to coming over to the US, and just read this journal and though I should say hi!

I love your comparisions of Sweden and the US.

you rock.

Jenny · 08-31-2004, 06:48 PM

Hey guys! My Ironmag was down yesterday

I did well with my eating, maybe too little food again

Today I've been good too

Went for a powerwalk this morning, walked to class after that and then took a spinning tonight

I might not update my meals everyday or even workouts, it's just going well everyday and not much to report

I'll report every cheat though

Jenny · 08-31-2004, 06:48 PM

jfrance, thanks

Jenny · 08-31-2004, 07:49 PM

I just ordered my OWN CUSTOMIZED Nike shox shoes!!

I'm so excited

I love the Nike shox I have now but they're getting a little worn out. They will even have a little tag on them that says "Jenny"

They'll be here in 3 to 4 weeks, I can't waiiiiit

PreMier · 08-31-2004, 07:50 PM

Where did you order them from? Were they more expensive?

Jenny · 08-31-2004, 07:55 PM

I bought them from nike.com. They were about $10 more, but it was worth it

I wanna have em nooooooow!

PreMier · 08-31-2004, 07:56 PM

What happens if they dont fit?

Rocco32 · 08-31-2004, 09:00 PM

That's what I'm always afraid of.

Jenny · 09-01-2004, 06:33 AM

I already have a pair of Nike Shox, so I know what size I need

lakergirl · 09-01-2004, 08:40 AM

Hi Jenny!!

I cant get personalied Shox here in canada..

oh well. I think I am getting some new ones tonight, just not personalized. I have seen some with purply shox I like. I might just go with blue! Im not sure! what color did you go with?

It seems you are enjoying your time here. thats good to hear. How much of a time difference is there from where you are to home in Sweden?

have a great day Jenny!!

Jenny · 09-01-2004, 06:34 PM

Hey Laker!
Sorry you can't get the personalized in Canada

I sure know how it feels not being able to get the cool US stuff

I'm still excited about being able to get all the products I haven't been able to get before

Like Low carb milk

I designed my own shox, so I got them just like I wanted them. They are white and blue (different shades of blue)

I'll take a pic when I get them.
Time difference is 6 hours

Jenny · 09-01-2004, 06:41 PM

I had a pretty good day today. Ran in the morning. Had classes until 11 AM and then I went and paid my rent up until the end of January, which felt great! Then I studied by the pool

Relaxed a little then went to UREC (university recreation) which is AMAZING. Great gym, great track, looots of cardio equipment. All kinds of fitness classes, pools, even an indoor climbing wall. It's crazy nice in there! I love it! It's one of the best recreation centres at universities in America. I sure will spend a lot of time in there

I was the only girl in the free weight room

I don't care though, I just do my thing and don't care about the rest.

lakergirl · 09-01-2004, 07:03 PM

Hey Jenny!

Sounds like a great day! What school are you going to? its awesome on the gym, I love my schools too!

Jenny · 09-02-2004, 04:25 AM

I'm going to James Madison University www.jmu.edu

Spinning this morning! I love it that they have so many fitness classes

Check out their schedule: http://www.jmu.edu/recreation/grpfitness/schedule.shtml

J'Bo · 09-02-2004, 06:57 AM

Hey Jenny girl.
Good to see that your settling nice

fantasma62 · 09-04-2004, 09:01 AM

Hi Jenny,

How's your US story so far?

Have a wonderful day

Jenny · 09-06-2004, 04:16 AM

Okay guys, it's time to log again! I had a good weekend. We had a party here Saturday and that was pretty wild. Yesterday I was hungover and had breakfast at the waffle house.
I'm going to log from now on to track my foods better, why change something that has worked so well for me?

Jenny · 09-06-2004, 06:27 AM

Jenny · 09-06-2004, 02:20 PM

I bought a pair of jeans in size 7 this weekend

That is pretty crazy considering my crazy wide bone structure and the fact that I was a 12 a year ago!! I tried my former goal jeans on and they are soo loose in the legs.. crazy crazy.. I love it though.
Had a hungover breakfast at the waffle house yesterday and didn't eat regular meals after that. Just had some chicken and then a bunch of crackers and nuts. I'll call it carb up day

That's why I'm keeping my carbs so low today.

These are the times I'm making up for now ...

It sounds as though you're enjoying your college stay. How goes the studying? Any differences in schools?

	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...
