Week 2: Day 6 & 7

This week has been great so far. Yesterday we went in on Memorial Day at 7:00 am instead of 5:30 am and worked our butts off. It was nice to sleep in a little, but I prefer to get up at 5:00 am and get it done for the day.

Today was great, our trainer really pushed us to the point of sweating every last drop we had. It went by so fast. He has a contest going for the month of June. The prize is a two free night stay for the person with the best body transformation. He wants us to take another picture today and then we are doing measurements on Thursday. I have to say, I am shooting for this prize, I think I have a good chance if I can keep up the energy and strength!

In one week I have seen amazing changes. Clothes are getting loose, and I am getting stronger. We went climbing yesterday at the climbing gym with family for Memorial Day. The climbs have difficulties on them starting at a 5.4 all the way up to 5.11 and beyond. The only one I have been able to get to the top on is a 5.4 until yesterday when I climbed a 5.6 and 3/4's of a 5.7. I have tried both of those climbs a few times and could only make it 1/4 of the way up on both of them. I was so excited that I was able to actually do some hard and challenging climbs.

Anything is possible if you just try, and keep trying until to accomplish whatever your goal or goals may be.

Well, that is it for today. I will probably be back on Thursday. Have a great week!

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...

Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy

On Saturday March 24th I had the opportunity to run in the first Annual Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy. This will go down as one of the most heart warming, memorable races I have ever done. This race was created by some of my most dearest friends, The Green Family: Greg, Angela, Gabe, Marisa, and the inspiration for it all, Natalie. Natalie is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy when she was 8 months old.   I decided that I wanted to race and support this great cause and my friends to help find a cure for Epilepsy. Purple is the color to support Epilepsy so of course, if you know me, you go big or you go home and so I went big and bought me a purple morph suit that covered my entire body, head to toe in purple awesomeness! You should have seen Natalie's face when I showed up decked out in my purple-tastic outfit, priceless!   There were 160 runners/walkers at this race and an amazing group called  Push to the Finish  that pus...

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
