On the Journey

Hi! I'm Jenn. This is a little corner of the internet for me to post inspiration and ideas on my way to a healthier weight and life. I'm back after a long hiatus. SW: 298.7 First Goal: 250 Ultimate Goal: 185

Fitness is like gardening. If you sow a seed, you don’t come back the next day and don’t start digging in the soil to see if the plant has already begun to grow. The same applies to working out. You can’t do a work out and stand in front of the mirror the next day expecting to see your muscles already growing and fat melting. Trust the process. It is a slow one but it is happening. The change is already happening deep within but you have to wait a few weeks or months to finally see it. But once you do, you will feel proud and accomplished.

2.1 pounds lost this week, which means I’ve lost just over 10 pounds total!!!!

Now I just have to do that again 9 more times.

...Simple.

Oof. I ate a lot today. A lot of carbs and fats and stuff that was easy to grab and eat.

But I also had an awesome time with my wife going to check out some open houses in the area we want to move to. And I got my butt to the grocery store at 9pm because we needed healthy food in the apartment so today didn't happen again out of necessity.

On to a new week!

WW Weigh In

So I had a really shitty day at work yesterday and the wife and I decided we didn't want to cook, so we wound up at Applebee's. I wanted to eat all the things but I reigned myself in, especially knowing that today was weigh in, and had the grilled chicken wrap with some fries. I still went over my daily points and I had used most of my weeklies last weekend so I wasn't optimistic stepping on that scale this morning.

But I had a 1.1 pound loss! 8 pounds total gone since I started! Not too shabby for a lazy week.

Just a friendly reminder for your fitness journey: Your muscles do not grow during exercise. Exercise is only the stimulus. The body strengthens the muscles while you are resting.  

So make sure that you give 100% with rest, just like you would give 100% exercising.

So, funny story. I logged on just to let out some thoughts about how much I love my job, and the universe answered.

So one downside to my position is I have to be on call on rotation. I’ve been on call this week (it my first time too) and it’s been hectic. I’ve been woken up every day so far and worked a good chunk of the weekend. So today is my last day on call and the phone has not rang since it woke me at 4:30 this morning. I had just changed for bed and wrote my i love my job post (hadn’t even hit post yet) ta-da the phone rings. Call out for 3rd shift. I try the subs- no go, guess what that means??

So now I’m here all night. Anyway I posted what I’d written and saw I had sds tags from the awesome @weirdturned-pro and @mystoryfortheaudienceoftheworld thanks!!

Also, I’m here all night, so...

Ask me anything, keep me company, send me anything, help me get through this long last night on call

I hope your night goes fast!!
