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!

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...
