Getting my money's worth...

March 21st marked one year since I started going to the new Rec center in Herriman. Our whole family just loves this gym. There are so many great people and great instructors/trainers that work there. I think we are very lucky to have such a great facility and great people making it the place to be. On the 20th of March it was time to renew our memberships so I went in and paid for another year for my husband and I and our two kids. When I was paying I asked how many times I personally scanned in at the gym in the past year and she told me 275 times! She said: "Wow, that is a lot!" It made me laugh and it made me happy that I was able to actually use my pass this much, that I actually got my moneys's worth, less than a dollar per visit if you do the math.

There are 365 days in a year, and about 52 Sunday's , which only leaves 38 days that I did not use my pass! In that year at the gym I lost 92 pounds, 8 shy of my 100 lbs in a year goal, and have become a lot stronger in so many ways. I have also met so many wonderful people who are also changing their lives by coming to the gym as often as possible and I have made a lot of life long friends that I am thankful I have in my life.

Here is to another great year at the gym! If you don't have a gym membership get out there and get moving, stop making excuses and start making changes!

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 myse...

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

Biggest Loser Casting Call- Season 12

Hey everyone! So, last week my friend texted me and asked if I would try out for the Biggest Loser with her. We have been friends for 15 years and I just adore her. She is why I met the man of my dreams, she went to school with McKay and set us up and the rest is HISTORY! She asked, I said yes and now we are getting ready to go show the casting directors why we should be on the Biggest Loser! I honestly think if the casting directors see in us what all of our friends see in us that we would be awesome for the show! A lot of you already know my story and I continue to get messages on facebook, comments on my blog and emails from friends telling me how I have inspired them. We had a chance to win a VIP pass on KSL on facebook, so I called on my friends to help out and I am so overwhelmed by the love and support of you all! Thanks for all of your comments. My friend, Shannon was the lucky post winner. She won for me and I am so excited I get to go with my friend to this open casting ca...
