Mission Impossible is Nothing

[Jenny]

Hey guys

Yeah, fruits are not as bad as some people make them, at least not for me. It helps me feel satisfied when eating healthy and if I can have my fruit I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. During my leanest times I've always eaten quite a bit of fruit, it was when I started getting obsessive that I started gaining weight. When I started focusing so much on going low carb and getting macros down to perfect %. Doesn't work for me Might work for some people, but not for me I'm doing my own thing and that is what works for me The only thing I feel need to pay attention to right now is eating enough and not going too low on the cals.
Thanks for all of your input

Ahhh send some sun my way please!!!

Your sooo right Jenny, fruit is a bit over rated-for some. I mean I used to eat oddles of it. up to 6 servings/day-I had no probs staying lean. Its great to hear that your doing your own thing girl, and knowing what works for you!!

HAve a super day!!

 

[Rocco32]

Well I have to get in on this journal too! I know what you mean about being lonely Jenny, I switched my new journal to over here too. Looks like your doing great (as always!) I'm thinking of adding some bananas to my postworkout shake. I'll have to check Dr. Phil out, what exactly do you like so much about him?

 

[M.J.H.]

I have to agree Jenny, I don't think that fruits are as bad as most people make them out to be either. I have never had a problem really with fruit. Natural fruit that is though, not juices, etc. And it seems the higher water fruits, the better, in my experience.

 

[Cate]

I agree with you Jenny....when I start getting over obessive, I gain .....and I cannot live w/o my bananas and oranges!

 

[Jenny]

Thanks guys

AJ- I hope you get some sun today! I know how much you need it after a long Canada winter!

Rock- Thanks What I like about Dr Phil? Haha, well, he helps me (and billions more) to question behaviors and understand that I can do something about them

Mono- Thanks I agree, fruit juices are no good I wish they were though, I loooove juice and smoothies

Cate- I know, we just need to stay balanced

 

[Jenny]

Oooh, and I got some documents FedExed over from James Madison University today I got some documents that I need for my visa, so I made an appointment with the US embassy in Stockholm in May It's getting real now

 

[Cate]

Hey Jenny - I've read your old journal about how you want to come to the states.....I think it's sooo great you are able to do it! It's a huge adventure .

It will be interesting to get your view of life here!

 

[Stacey]

OH WOW JENNY THAT IS SOOOOO NEAT!!!!!! It Is Getting SO real!!!

Great workout girl!!!

 

[ncgirl21]

Hey girlie!! Your journal looks great!! Meals look yummy!! I love bananas, but I consider it a healthy food for me. I like to mix one in with my Protein powder and add in some peanut butter!! YUMMY!!

 

[Jenny]

Cate, yep, it is really a wonderful opportunity! My boyfriend, Justin (Eggs on this board) goes to school in Virginia and will live in the same town, so it's just about perfect!!
I've visited the states several times.. Um, let's see.. 5 times So I have a pretty good idea of what it's like, but living there and being part of the society is a different thing

 

[Jenny]

Hey Stace!! I know It's soooo cool Thanks, three workouts today I loved it all though!

Nc, HEY girl!! How are you? Oooh, I need to visit your journal more often Yep, bananas are healthy, good for potassium, just a lil too much sugar maybe It's all about balance though and we need lots of that! Well I do anyways

 

[Cate]

That is sooo great!

Where in Virginia will/do you guys live?? I run the Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon every year in Virginia Beach (Soon to be brother in law lives there)

 

[Jenny]

I know, it's pretty damn amazing We actually met on this board and were friends for a few years before meeting this summer. Our love story belongs on Oprah
It's in Harrisonburg, which is in the north west of VA I think Hey, it would be soo cool if you came down when we were there Justin's family lives in Chicago (if I remember it correctly you do too, right? ), so we're going there for Christmas break

 

[Cate]

That is tooo cool!!!

Yes, I do live in Chicago (I'll talk to Oprah ). It's too bad you guys are not runners...it's the best race ever! We will be in MI for Christmas (my family), but maybe you guys will be here longer than we are away!

 

[Jenny]

Yes, talk to her, she can send us on a romantic holiday or something
It would be so cool to meet, we'll have to see if it's possible I used to run a lot and did a half marathon last summer, but my knees just can't handle it anymore

Okay, it's bed time in Sweden, Night all!

 

[Stacey]

Jen You had a great workout day!!!! SLEEP WELL!!!

I think Oprah should send you & Justing on a romantic get-a-way!!! For Sure!

 

[atherjen]

Nite Nite Jen!!! Sounds like you need a good nights sleep after all that hard work today! Sweet dreams!!

 

[Eggs]

Hey Baby, I sure could use a romantic get-away with you Just you and me, snoozing during the day in a hammock by the ocean. You could be laying on me with your head on my chest and I could run my hands through your hair. Then we could go play in the water some... Mmmm, you ready for summer time love?

 

[J'Bo]

You two are always on a romantic get away in my opinion
