Shapin' up! Jenny's log
I think it will help if I start a journal, writing down my thoughts as I attempt to get into shape. I started yesterday, 5/15, and it wasn't so bad. I really am in the mindset that I'm going to do this, and I HAVE to do this if I want to feel good about getting into a dress. Plus, I need to be healthy. I don't want Kirra growing up knowing me as a "fat" person. I want her to think her Mom takes good care of herself and is concerned with her health. I want Kirra to grow up knowing about eating right and exercising to keep healthy. My Mom, who is very small and thin, has recently developed diabetes. My paternal G-ma had diabetes, my maternal G-pa has diabetes...2 of my Aunts and Uncles on my Mom's side have developed diabetes. I hope to God I don't have their tendency to develop diabetes, but it doesn't help that I have not attempted to get rid of one of the most prevalent factors for diabetes--being overweight.
soooo...here I go! I went to the gym yesterday with Ryan. I did 30 min elliptical, 20 min bike, and lifted UE weights. I'm going to try to go to the gym 3x a week minimum, hopefully more like 5. I'm going to go in 20 lb increments, to see more of a progression. I know the 1st 20 lbs will be easy (yes, sad to say, I've done this a few times before  ), I usually hit a plateau at about 30 lbs. At that point, I think I will meet with a personal trainer at the gym, so that I can get through that hump. I'm going to follow the WW plan, but not worry so much about counting points and such...if I go over a few points a day, I'm not going to worry. It's mostly about portion size and calories anyways.I'm hoping to get to the gym today. We'll see. I was STARVING on my way home for lunch today...I had oatmeal at 7:30, but by 11:30 I was starting to get shaky...low blood sugar, yikes! That will get under control in a few days, though.

  if you can add some protein to your breakfast, you'll last longer w/out getting the shakes i think (smack me if that was totally unwelcomed advice)

 Thanks Lacey...no advice is unwelcome here!

Jenny do you have time to make fruit shakes in the morning before work? If so, add some whey protein to your fruit shake. I did it when I was on WW and it worked out well, I also ate every 2 to 3 hours, and that really helped me to lose the weight. In my shakes I used 1% milk, usually frozen mixed berries and whey protein. It worked out fabulous! Also keep that water handy, you know it does wonder not just for your wieght loss, but your skin too!
You can do it girl! I know you can!  Sharon

Thanks for the advice, girls! That is a great idea, Sharon.
Today was a good day. I brought a yogurt and granola bar with me while I was working, b/c I knew I wouldn't get home for lunch until 2:30. I was so good--I didn't stop for anything to eat...not even Subway. Nevermind we are broke, too, so I really didn't have the choice to spend $ We are at John and Laurie's for dinner. They made yummy salmon. And a BIG salad. THEN they had Dove bars for dessert. I TURNED IT DOWN!  I know I have some low fat ice cream at home. If I want it when we get home, I will have it. But it will be after 9 pm and I really shouldn't eat. We'll see...I went to the gym today, and they have this AWESOME new machine. It's called a Wave 1. It's like a inline skating machine, it kicks butt! I saw sweatin' like a hog!! It's my new machine
