firstly, congradulations on doing a great job on your presentations - as they are always the most nerve racking.

Retake a semester ... that is what I really don't understand. Wy would you pay all the money to re-take a semester if it could have been avoided by going to a few less social gatherings and a few more classes.

You are a very strong woman miss Jenny. Maybe they will see what a difference doing a little more homework could mean to their grades. Not only that, but going to the classes makes studying much easier as you should have a firm grasp of the teaching concepts. I applaud you for not giving into the american college lifestyle.

lakergirl · 11-09-2004, 03:38 PM

yAY jenny!! I know what you mean about the partying, I live with it everynight when the girl nextdoor stumbles home around 3am.. Drives me nuts. the funny part is, she doesnt wake me up that often as I am here doing work still!!

Awesome jjob on the presentation, they kill me!Ive got 3 huge papers and a 20page lab all due this monday! at least I dont really have the time to eat badly!

PreMier · 11-09-2004, 05:04 PM

My Grandfather told me that there are 2 reasons to go to college. One is to get a higher education, and the other is to party. If you cant do either one well, then you shouldnt go.

Congrats Jenny.

Jenny · 11-10-2004, 11:57 AM

Jill, I know, I'm so glad I don't have to worry about cutting anymore

I really like the way I eat and my workouts right now

I feel I have a good balance

BC, thanks

Jill · 11-11-2004, 02:07 PM

What have you been up to darlin??

Jenny · 11-12-2004, 01:13 PM

Hey Jill and all the others. I don't think this journaling thing is for me right now after all. I was doing great with everything before starting this up again and I think this adds stress somehow, which I don't need.
I'll stop by every now and then

I'm doing great, so don't worry

greekblondechic · 11-12-2004, 03:36 PM

Ohhh sweetie... Please just keep this as a whoring journal purely??! I thought that's what it was going to be actually, I was surprised to see meals and workouts. Just come chat with us, fun stuff!

PreMier · 11-12-2004, 04:58 PM

Yea, atleast stop by to say "hello".

Jenny · 11-13-2004, 06:33 AM

Hello

Haha, okay guys, I wil pop in every now and then

Might even post some pics to let you know that just because I'm not journaling it doesn't mean that I'm pigging out on cheats

Love you guys

Eggs · 11-15-2004, 10:20 PM

Hey sweets! You're Chasin' the sun huh? I could use some of that... but I think we might have to move a couple thousand mile south. Its getting cold now, brrr. I'm glad you are doing so well in school and arent just giving in to all the pressure to party, I'm really proud that you're doing so well with that

I think it was a good idea to turn this into a whoring thread... you're doing great right now with your diet and workouts, no reason to stress about it.

Have a great day in school tomorrow!

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 06:03 AM

Hey honey

When I saw that you posted I was like "Awwwwwww he came".

I know, it is getting cold

It's a good thing I have you to keep me warm

That and the fact that my mom's package with my warm clothes finally arrived

Thank you for being so supportive of me baby, I couldn't do all of this without you here to back me up

You're just the most amazing thing ever

See you in about 14 mins! Thanks for taking me to the gym

Wanna have a picnic in bed tonight?

I love you so much my cutie pie

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 06:08 AM

Hey guys!

I'm off to the gym soon, leave me some love for me to read when I get back

My meals are great and my workouts are rocking

I need to be careful and make sure I rest enough between my running sessions though, cause I'll get overtrained if I'm not careful. My runs are usually 40 mins and on 7.2-9.0, so I'm pushing myself hard and need to give my bod some time to rest inbetween. Last week I ran like 5 times for my AM cardio and that was too much, my knees started to feel weird and all that crap. I love it so it's hard to stay away. This morning I'm going to the BIG gym though

so there are all kinds of things to do, will probably stay off the treadmill

See ya later

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 08:41 AM

Boooo.. No one left me any love

I had a great cardio session this morning

56 min on the elliptical trainer, then a 15 min walk home from gym. 500 cals burned

ncgirl21 · 11-16-2004, 09:06 AM

< Just for you Jenny!!

Your workout looks intense babe!!! No wonder you look so hot!

Jill · 11-16-2004, 09:21 AM

L O V E For my little angel

Holy crap you run at 9????? Thats nut!

Im jelous

Im glad you are back, even if it is JUST to whore

greekblondechic · 11-16-2004, 11:35 AM

Come here sugah and I will give you some loooooveee

You run like craaaazzzzyyyy!!!!!!!!! I am lucky to hit 6.0

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 12:08 PM

Hey girls

Thanks for stopping by

Andrea, thank you honey! Yeah, I like to work out hard

Jill, I've worked my way up there. I too was struggling at the 6es before, but now I never run below 7. When I go for 9 I usually just stay there for a minute or two

Yep, I'm just here to whore, that way I don't feel like I have to post my meals and workouts each day

My calories are always around 1500 though and my workouts are great

Thanksgiving will be fun though

Greeky, thank you sweetheart

Yeah, I do run like crazy sometimes

Keep working on your speed and you'll be up there too

ncgirl21 · 11-16-2004, 12:29 PM

Hey Jenny!!

I've gotta a quick question for ya sweets. I'm trying to get out of the habit of being so anal about my meals. You seem to have a great grasp on what you eat. Do you actually count your calories or do you just estimate? Do you still measure? My thing is, I'd kind of like to quit having to measure every little thing and just concentrate on making healthy choices but I wonder if that would be a bad idea and maybe if I'd eat too much??

One more thing, 1500 calories, is that for weight loss? You work out a lot, are you sure that's enough food since your wanting to maintain? Just checking babes!! Your smoking

On another note, how long are you in the states before you go home. We need to plan a time to meet!!

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 12:36 PM

Hey Andrea

I log all my food on Fitday everyday. I measure things like oats and brown rice and stuff, but estimate other things such as chicken.
Yeah, on the days when I work out a lot I try to get the cals up a little bit. I guess in my mind I'm still cutting somewhat even though I'm happy where I am.. It's like I've been cutting for so long that I don't know anything else. But I have higher calorie days at least twice a week, so I think it all evens out. I've been cutting back on my cardio somewhat too, only doing one session a day usually

I'm going home and to Chicago for X-mas break, will be back here in beginning of jan. Then I'll stay until end of May, so we'll have plenty of time to meet!!

I know what you mean. I'd still like to loose some fat, but once I reach my goal I wonder what I'll do, and I wonder if I'll actually be happy with it. I'm soooo all or nothing that it will be harder I think for me to maintain than it would be to cut. Oh, this is all giving me a headache!! LOL!!

again.

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 03:10 PM

NT, I'm here, just sporadicly

Andrea, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel I'm happy with myself and I don't want to cut anymore and think "now what?

". It's hard because I don't want to go overboard and gain, but I don't want to be on a crazy strict diet either.. It's HARD!!

Jenny · 11-16-2004, 03:16 PM

I bought some new peanutbutter last week, it's Reeses peanutbutter!! I got so excited when I saw it at walmart!! It's sooo good and has the same cals as regular pb.

I bought some Cinnamon Raisin PB (140 cals for 2 tbs.), White Chocolate PB (170 cals for 2 tbs.) and Dark Chocolate PB (180 for 2 tbs.) the other day at Super Target. It's AWESOME!!! You can only get it on line or at Super Target though, I've looked at all my grocery stores and they don't have it.
