Jackie's Exercise (forgot to post...)

 It's come to my attention that I've been using the facebook to post my exercise for the day and forgot to post in here sooo....

9/27/2011- did the chairotica at Bods then did my 2 mile walk home. weighed myself at the grocery store on my way home and theirs no change this time (not surprised), now to cool off and take a shower... I'm a mess!

9/22/2011- chairotica,  Holy Sh... I flipped myself on a chair! *still giggling although my legs feel like jello*, all thanks to Bods. Seriously... I'm surprised, my balance has been off for the last couple years cause of my weight. And if you don't know what I'm talking about... well maybe eventually I will post a pict. Weight today... 271lbs! I would have taken a pict with my cell phone of the scale but my phone is dying. That's 2lbs down since last weigh in making my total so far 12lbs! No walk (it was an evening class so it was dark).

not sure what days I did this but it was within the last couple weeks- wii zumba 40min, wii dance 40min.

If you recognize what your reading its because this was posted to the facebook page. I'm going to start writing post its to remind me to post on the blog also LOL! I might have missed a post.. but basically that's it. Once a week is Bods, hopefully I will get a job and be able to afford a membership fee that's more than once a week. Till then this is what I got. I do need to ramp up my home work outs though *groans* I really dislike the boring home workouts :(  unless its wii dance games, those are fun.

Jackie's Exercise 9/7/2011-9/11/2011

 a couple of these where previously posted on one of my challenge post but they where false starts to a challenge so for organization sake I took them off and posted them here.


9/7/2011- Got up this morning and went to zumba class at Bods... zumba heat at 9:30-10:30, as usual it kicked my rear. The ladys at Bods are supper nice and Tammy is wonderful. Then I walked about 2.4 miles home if my map search is correct. Was dropped off at Bods by John on his way to work then after zumba I walked to Publix to weigh myself (275lbs) and then walked back the way I came from (though the shopping plaza where bods is) back toward home. Now I'm hot, tired but kinda still energized in that weird way you get when you have all those endorphins running though you, I'm not really all that hungry but that might have been cause all the bouncing around I did plus the heat from the walk home (I really want a bike, It would be nice to feel a breeze on my face as a peddled home instead of dead air as I walked). I'm going to eat breakfast anyways though cause its getting late and I don't want to clump all my calories together like I use to. Oh, and I'm in a good mood but that might just be cause I like Bods and cause I like meeting nice people.... Oh and I almost forgot to say, the walk is usually a pain for me and I have done it going to and back before. But this time just going one way after zumba wasn't so bad. Maybe zumba loosened me up or something but my legs aren't complaining yet and I didn't feel like it was that bad an effort.

9/9/2011- Bods Body Blast class @ 9:30-10:30am, walked about 2.4 miles home then took a shower. Snacked on a yogurt after. I feel good, slightly tired, and am defiantly hungry now that I have had time to cool off.

9/10/2011- 50min of just dance for the wii.

Kinda disappointed with myself, I do not want to go under 1000calories since that might put my body in starvation/hoarding mode. Unfortunate I let time slip by without being aware of how few snacks I was eating today. Now its to late (its 3:30am and I'm going to bed). Hopefully I will do better tomorrow.

Lauren's Challenge 9/6/2011

Challenge 

9/6/2011

Lauren on Facebook challenges- "get your mind set for this one.. it's hard (I still struggle after 3 years into my health journey). Workout BEFORE breakfast for 3 days in a row (just grab a drink before you work out). See if you notice any symptoms such as more hunger, better mood, more energy, etc. This will do a drastic boost to the metabolism, so make sure you have healthy snacks in the house!"

Jackie's Response

This is difficult, I have tryed several days to do this in a row but have ended up not quite doing it. Usually because of getting up to late (I'm not a morning person usually) or some other excuse. I am not going to let this get in the way though. I will be wakeing up in the morning tomorrow to play some wii dance game in the hope of restarting this challenge. I then am going to go to one of the classes either for the second day of the challenge or the third, haven't quite made up my mind.

 

Hopefully I can get this done, till then, I'm posting the stuff I did have as false starts to the challenge as an exercise diary posting to make it more organized.

I'm like out of yogurt and flavored water, so a trip to the grocery store is much needed.The lean pocket was yummy and on sale when I got it... I might end up wanting to get more since its an easy hot lunch within my calorie range.

Later that day... got my flavored water, yogert, celery, carrots, and some whole wheat eggo waffles so I will get more varriaty with my breakfast. I thought about doing the low cal ones "Low Fat Waffles Made with Whole Wheat" but decided the difference wasn't that important since I usually end up low on cals in the morning anyways plus they had a family size of the one I did get witch was the "Whole Wheat Waffles" and didn't have a family pack of the low fat ones (cost is a factor to). I will probably eat them with low fat cream cheese or diced fruit but I think I might have some low sugar syrup. I know, I could do scrambled eggs but I think the big reason why I use to skip breakfast is lazyness. To tired to really care to cook. Thats why I decided to do things like cereal for breakfast, quick to do and easy to calculate. 


Oh and I found some of that apple pie flavored Extra Sugar free gum at walmart! Candice, your going to love it... hope you have good luck and find it at your walmart soon. Its sooooo.... Yummy!
I should have bought all the packs they had... you know everyone is going to buy it before I can get my hands on more LOL! Although just now doing a search I found some for sale on amazon by like 10 packs. I guess I know where I have to order if my local walmart runs out. Can't wait to find out what new flavor they might make.

Jackie Food/Exercise Post 9/3/2011-9/4/2011

Ok, haven't actually had a chance to be on the computer enough to actually put in my diary post this weekend. I found that I really need a notebook to write all my stuff down in for when John has extended use of the computer *sigh* I've been keeping track in the morning but been struggling with dinner time the last couple days. Mostly trying to figure out numbers of things I only fix every now and then. My pasta salad yesterday was low enough (barely used any "sauce/low fat mayo" and used low cal whole wheat pasta and lots of celery and carrots with a splash of lemon juice) that I think I was in my calorie range for the day... probably went a little over the count with the rum I had but it was rum with flavored water (no calories in the water so it was only the rum that was naughty of me) 2 that night, but tonights dinner (oven baked) chicken wings... I have no idea, unfortunately my sauce had a mind of its own and would not turn out correct without me tossing in a dozen things to try to balance the flavors... this means I have no idea what the calorie count was in the sauce. Good thing? It was relatively healthy since it had a lot of peppers, onions, and stuff like that and no butter plus the wings where "naked" wings, as in they where baked with no batter. Its just the exact numbers that escaped me *sigh* the good thing? I ate in moderation and even though I bought fresh REGULAR bread from the bakery (its hard to resist a still hot/warm loaf) I ate only the correct portion size and did not add butter so it actually fit in the guidelines of calorie count for my "snack". As for the rest of the long weekend? I'm going to dig up a unused notebook and try to get this number thing under control with the help of it and use of my cell phone to get online to look up calorie count for some of my ingredients. Plus I'm going to try to get John's help in some house organizing in prep for my comming B-day party on Oct 1st so he wont be on the computer 24/7 if I have anything to say about it.

Oh and I bought some lean pockets that where on sale that happen to be within my calorie budget lunch wise. So I'm probably going to be eating that for lunch the next few days.

Exercise wise? I also rented zumba for the wii the other day and so my exercise for this weekend comes to 80min total of wii zumba for Sat & Sun.

Oh, and on the health front... my spotting is becoming almost non existent! I believe its the working out and losing a few pounds. Can't wait to get to the point where I have a normal period once a month and that's it without worry bout if the spotting will come back. I will also be happy once I can do a full 40-60min workout without feeling like I need a nap after or a break in between LOL!


I think another big help for me might be me buying a schedule book. That way I can keep track of my diet and exercise easier and be organized about it... but until I have the cash for that a regular notebook John has sitting around will have to work.

Laurens Challenge 9/2/2011

 

Challenge

Lauren on Facebook challenges- "...Write a goodbye letter to your old life. Include how you feel when you look in the mirror, how you feel when you look at food, your goals, where you wanna be long term (say 5 or 10 years), and why you are saying goodbye to a life of obesity. Share it with someone you know, love, and trust (maybe each other??). This is HARD and VERY VERY emotional (at least it was for me). But it's an excellent thing to have on hand when you are struggling with focus! A current photo or something symbolic of your start point is a great thing to add with this." 

 

Jackie's Response- 

Post Card To My Old Self

 

"Dear Old Life aka Old Self,

I am done with you! You and your accomplices’ laziness, thoughtlessness, and carelessness have ruined things one to many times! You have put me in a bad position of having wasted far to much of my life on you! I’ve spent far to much time battling depression and low self esteem and it’s all your fault for allowing thoughtlessness to control way to much! I have decided its past time for the new me to take control of my life/self. This includes whipping my poor neglected body into shape! Yes it (my body) may moan groan and hate me today for it but what I am planning for it is far to important! My body will get use to the new changes since its in its best interest. I plan on living a full and happy life with me, myself, and I. One full of accomplishment, pride, and self-love! I will no longer allow this lack of self-control in my life! There are many things I cannot control I have found. One of them is my lack of job. Yes I can continue my job search but Job hunting is much like selling… you can lead/teach/help a person find what they want with you but you can’t force them to take it. I can’t force people to hire me as much as I would enjoy doing exactly that. No, what I can do… what I can control in life is my own body, health, and happiness. And that is what I am trying to do now. Food will no longer be a thoughtless thing to be shoveled in with no care as to what it is doing to my body. My poor body has been abused enough. Instead my body is going to be taught what it never knew, how to be healthy and to do things like run with ease. It will also be re taught things it once knew/did, things like walking in high heals and being flexible! My nice curvy legs will know what it is to be firm and sexy in stockings or with bare skin again instead of rubbing so painfully against on another. My figure will have a waistline for once in its life and I will cinch it tightly with a belt without worrying about fit! I will roam the woods/forest looking for the glory of nature without the burden of my bowling ball like breast pressing against my ribs or feeling like I have to take a break every 15 seconds. It’s high time for me to take control of myself. I warn you now old self; I have declared war on you! I have no place in my new life plan for things like laziness, thoughtlessness, and carelessness. Nope the new plan is achievement, living life to its fullest, self-control, and self love. 

PS- I’ve replaced the lock to myself and only the new me has the key to my dreams/hope/life. You are not allowed back. 

Your enemy, 

The New ME!"

Key to my hopes, dreams, life... May I always be in control of it.

If your wondering what its addressed to it says-

"Old Life / Old SELF

Apt. Thoughtlessness #1, Unhealthy St.

Fat City, USA"

I hope this isn't to silly of me. To be honest having done a bit of writing about my reasons for losing weight both for my bio on this blog, on my fashion blog, and for the Biggest Loser open casting call I really didn't want to do something depressing. Instead I wanted to mix classic silly me with why I'm doing this and some symbolism behind my efforts. I really do want to gain more control over my life and while their is soo much in my life I can't control the one thing I should have had control of all along was neglected. This I now realize is a serious problem. I should not neglect one aspect of my life, especially one so important to my future (my health) just because I feel down or helpless. Instead I should take control of as much of my life as I can, Including my health. So thank you for this challenge Lauren and sorry if it wasn't quite as somber as it should have been.
