Sunday Share: I know, I know...I've been MIA...AGAIN! I swear I'm coming back and I am determined to check in daily if it kills me! I spent the weekend in Mobile, AL at Bayfest. It's a giant music extravaganza and I had the opportunity to see Loverboy, Journey, Pat Benatar, Willie Nelson, Bush, BuckCherry, Big and Rich,…

I missed posting yesterday since it was so late when I got home from the Thompson Square concert. Well, actually it wasn't late until I watched the repeat of the debate, but that is neither here nor there. Wednesday Wish: My wish is that if you sign up for tutoring, you freaking show up on time! I had a parent show up…

Tuesday Goals: ~ Get a schedule made so people will know what days I'm tutoring. ($25 for an hour with awesome me!) My goal is to use this money to pay off all of my credit card bills. It's going to take a while, but I'm willing to stick it out. I'm also planning on paying for a trip for myself and my hunny, but he doesn't…

Greetings long lost MFP friends. I wave to you from under a huge mound of paperwork/grades/and dirty laundry and dishes! Last week was nuts and it is still going full steam ahead. I am hoping that it will finally calm down now that we are at the beginning of a new month. Quick Check In: Did not log anything this weekend…

Monday Check In: Today was an awesome day. My students managed to survive multiplying decimals and multiplying and dividing to the powers of ten. Let's hope that tomorrow when we review and do some in class practice, that they remember it. :) The day was really good today. I got home and have literally been sitting at my…

Sunday Share: I have been MIA the last few days, and looking at my food diaries, I can tell it. I don't know if because I had that stomach virus earlier in the week that I felt I had to "make up" for all my missed food, but I certainly went over and beyond what I should have eaten and I saw it on the scale with a gain of…

This totally made me laugh out loud! I love it! :)

I used to feel the exact same way! I would see that 260 mark and think, "I'll never freaking get there". But guess what? I FINALLY broke down to it! And when I did, it was the best feeling ever! My next goal is the 250 mark. Take it in stride and you can do anything! @Nicole- I absolutely LOVE that "new relationship"…

Wednesday Wish: ~That my aunt is understanding that I cant come home for my uncles funeral Friday. :( ~That everyone, including me, meets their goals. Been a super busy day but am looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend. Should be fun. Feeling 100% better and was finally able to run today! It felt awesome! :)

Tuesday Goals: So I'm watching Dr. Oz and he is talking about Metabolism types. I am Type C. (I have an unpredictable appetite, I crave sweets and salty snacks, and I can tend to be anxious and nervous.) It is pretty interesting to know I have a "type". I'm curious to see what he recommends as his "diet" advice and see how…

So freaking proud of you! Its an amazing feeling isn't it! I knew you could do it!

Monday Check-In: Today I am feeling MUCH better. A friend of mine brought me some phenigran last night and since I took it, I feel like a million bucks. I woke up around midnight and found my 100 degree temperature had finally broken. I'm still not 100% so I took the day off. I hope my kids are being good for my sub. I…

Sunday Share: Was having a great weekend until about 10pm last night. I think I ended up with food poisioning. :( Just haven't felt really well and have been up and down since 5:30am. I'm hoping this is out of my system soon. I can't afford to miss work. If I'm still running fever this evening, I'm calling into work for…

Friday Fitness: My hope is that I stay under my calories all weekend. I did pretty good all week, although this week I have been overly hungry even though I am eating plenty. I think that is because TOM is about to show up and usually that's just the way it works. I crave sweets and feel like I'm starving all the…

That's super awesome! I know you are so proud! :)

I'm 26 and my diary is open. I don't mind sharing because it helps me see pitfalls. Feel free to add. :)

Thursday Truths: So my truth started this morning. My cousin Daniel, who got engaged the day of my 5k, called me and wanted to know why I wasn't "happy or excited" for him. Truth be told, I honestly don't know how to feel or how to explain it, so here is the best way I can think to put it out there. ~ You've been together…

My username is one I came up with when I was in 6th grade and started visiting chatrooms and such. It's my first name, beginning initial of my last name and my HS graduation year. Of course, nobody realizes that until I point it out...haha! I often get mistaken for someone of indian descent because they don't see my name…

No, it's not heat stroke and I've been drinking plenty. I mean, I have already completed C25K and I didn't run any harder or further than I had when training for that. Seems to me that this is just a freak thing. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything similar happen.

Yeah, it is a little scary. I'm not sure what caused it. I mean, I feel fine, but my skin just got REALLY hot. I've been running for a while now and this is the first time I have had this happen. I wonder if maybe I just over worked or something. Who knows?

Okay MFP family, I need some help. I was doing my C210k workout today and I was feeling fine. The last 5 minutes or so I got extremely hot and my skin turned PURPLE! I have NEVER felt this way before. I didn't feel like I was fatigued. I was breathing just fine. I'm not sure what was going on. Does anyone have any ideas?…

Tuesday Goals: ~ Lose one more pound this week ~ Complete the rest of Week 1 of C210K with minor pain ~ Drink more water!!!!!!!!!! Wednesday Wishes: (In case I miss tomorrow with everything going on) I wish... ~ That things start happening for the better ~ That I achieve all of my goals for the week ~ That I'm able to keep…

Um, I am absolutely into doing this! Since I've finished my 5K and I'm training for 10K, I'd like to walk a 5k at minimum 3 days a week plus do my normal running. I guess I'm going to average right at maybe 12 miles a week. Times 7. That means I will end up doing 84 miles in 7 weeks. I think I can handle it. Who else is…

Holy cow Mowmow! That is an AMAZING transformation! You look 10yrs younger! :)

First of all, congrats on joining MFP. This place is very beneficial and full of supportive people who have the same goal as you. When I started here I weighed 282lbs and had little to no exercise daily. Now I weigh 265 and just completed my very first 5K last weekend. If I can do it, I know you can! One of the best ways I…

Monday Check-In: Sorry I've been MIA, the weekend has been nuts! I didn't eat as well as I should have over the weekend simply because I was trying to carbo-load the day before the race, but that is no excuse for all the junk I was eating post race. However, when I got on the scale this morning, I was actually down ounces,…

Perhaps there is a Jana somewhere else out there. Pronounced "Jan-uh", not "Jane-uh" :)

Today I completed my first 5k in 48 minutes! My time would have been better if the end hadn't been all uphill. But all in all I am super proud of my friend Brittany and myself! I will catch up tomorrow. Too tired from the day. :)

Thursday Truths: Praying for Robin and a speedy recovery! Today my friend Paige had to go ahead a deliver her baby 7 weeks early. The doctors were concerned because she was showing really bad signs of having a detached placenta and her blood pressure was 140/107, so needless to say something had to be done. She had to have…

Sorry I've been MIA. Yesterday was my day off and even though I logged...I did it from my phone. So here I am to play catch-up! Monday Check-In: ~ I had a good weekend. Visited with my family and managed to get in my workouts. Gearing up for my 5k which is Saturday. :) Tuesday Goals: ~ My goals for the week are to complete…
