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 ;)

Some Goals I set today and told my girls to have them remind me of my goals.

As of tomorrow until September:

  • No more soda
  • No more unhealthy snacks
Why only 4 months? Baby steps, baby steps....

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

Week 2 Complete!

Well, I have completed 2 weeks of boot camp and I am feeling great. I can already tell a big difference in my clothes and in my energy levels. I love the routine of waking up, getting ready, and completing my workout for the day by 6:30 am. Everyone in our class is doing great. I am really enjoying this class, it feels good to be pushed to your limits and sometimes go beyond what you think you can do! On a side note, today is my Husband's birthday, so, it looks like I get to enjoy some Indian food tonight! Happy Birthday McKay! ---Jena

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
