I'm back! For Realzies!

Okay, so it is time I am serious about posting my progress.

This year I have lost a lot, but gained it right back as soon as I stopped moving. I got into bad habits with eating and sleeping and now I regret not keeping up with the workouts and healthy eating habits, even though I was burnt out, it was not worth gaining it back. It comes on faster than it goes, now the hard work starts over again. Someday I will learn, I hope...

I am, however, proud to list my accomplishments:

  • 3 5ks so far
  • 1 10 k
  • 1 15 k
  • 2 half marathons so far


On Sept. 11th I will be running in my first relay race. I am very excited but I have 3 legs to run in 24 hours:

  • Leg 1= 6.5
  • Leg 2= 6.3
  • Leg 3= 3.9


I also plan on running at least 2 more half marathons this year.

My new adventure in weight loss starts on Monday, May 24th. I joined a local Boot Camp for 3 months, so by Aug. 23rd I Will be looking good. I will be working out 5 days a week at 5:30 am. Yeah, crazy I know!

I really want to push myself and I am so glad I have a very supportive husband. I also added climbing to my list of things I do and I want to get stronger and smaller so I can climb like a pro.

On Sunday I will be posting a before picture of me and I will try to post an update picture every 2 weeks to show my progress. I hope my Journey in weight loss can inspire you to get out there and take control of your life. It feels real great to be in control. Please, don't be shy, ask questions, post your comments, I would love the support! Sometimes a good sports bra isn't quite enough ;)

    I love that you're setting goals; I'm realistic... I LOVE sweets! Since nursing, his stomach can't handle all the sweets I love, so I allow one day a week that I can have a little something. I don't crave it as much anymore, but I still get to indulge myself a little. If you ever need a workout buddy I'd love to do it with you... I need to get back in the game!

    Thanks Aubrey! I would love to workout with you!

    This week is actually friend week so the first day is free for the class, I think you have to pay 10 to the Daybreak community center to get a card though.

    It is so crazy but fun! I am glad I signed up.

Taking a break from the scale!

I want to lose these last 25 pounds so much, especially the next 5 because I will finally hit my 100 goal but I have a mental block going on and so I have decided to step away from the scale for awhile. The scale isn't what this is about anyways. Yes, I have a healthy weight goal that I have set so the scale keeps me on track, but it is all about how I feel. I feel good and I look fabulous and I get compliments everyday and that is what matters most. So I have to tell myself that I have lost  95 POUNDS and the next 25 pounds will come off when my body is ready to let go. I just have to keep working hard, be patient and love life! 95 FLIPPING POUNDS!  That is an entire person! I am so happy about this! I will let you all know when I jump back on that scale, and I expect it will be followed by my "I LOST 100 POUNDS PARTY" ! Keep working hard everyone, you are worth it! Thanks for reading, Jena

One hundred miles...

A couple of weeks ago, April 28th 2012, I rode with a group of amazing women in the Front Runner Century bike ride. The ride was a metric century, which ends up being 62 miles. Well, I got it in my head that I wanted to ride a full 100 miles to say goodbye to the 100 pounds that will never be a part of my life again, so when I got home I rode another 38 to complete a full 100 miles in one day. It was an awesome experience to say the least! I also need send a shout out to my friend Kelli for riding another 38 for me too! She is a rockstar and I appreciate her support more than I can ever express. The day started out fabulous with the Triathlete group I am part of. We all rode the train out to SLC together and then once the race started we all ended up splitting up and then reunited at the finish. I had the greatest time riding with one of my closest friends Lori and my new friend Rhiannon. It was such a great feeling to cross the finish line with these two amazing wo...

Happy 1 year Anniversary...to me!

Today is a really big anniversary for me! I met up with my Doctor one year ago today to go over all my test results and to do an ultrasound. I was given the news that I was insulin resistant and that I have what is called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) . A year ago today is the day I got my life back. I'll take you back in time a little to give you some background on my story so that you understand a little more of why I do what I do everyday to get my life back. This is a really long post so hopefully I don't bore everyone to death! My husband and I really wanted to start a family when we got married 14 years ago. Little did we know our journey to have kids would be a rocky road. In 7 years I was pregnant 6 times and out of those 6 pregnancies we have 2 beautiful daughters who I am very thankful that I have in my life. In 2007 when my youngest miracle was 18 months old I decided it was time to get "Jena" back. Pregnancy really took a toll on my body and I fo...
