Jamie's transformation (getting better and better all the time)

[Jamie Lynn]

Hey there chickadee Hope you are having a great day/week!

Right back at you SBT!!

Things are getting so much better at work. The only problem was that yesterday we lost our Internet for a little while so I am going to go and put in yesterday's workout and today's and not worry about food. I don't want to think of everything I ate yesterday and today... too much memory involved in that one.

Hey darlin Hope you are having a great day!!!

I was going to say that today was good at work and then my coworker/semi-boss sticks his stupid head in the door and goes; "hey, before you leave tonight we need to talk" F*** that guy serisouly. ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHH!

Sorry about that SBT.

I hope all you ladies have a stupendous day today and I really mean it. I am envious of every single one of you. I guess what I am trying to say is I want to go home, I am sick of this place and these people.

Awww! BIG HUGS to ya', Jamie!!! Poor thing!

Hey, at least you have us in the meantime to turn to!!! What did the boss want anyway? And just keep telling yourself "THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY!" Thank goodness, right?!

We're all proud of you here, and you're doing an awesome job of making the best of an ill situation. I know I can pull my shit together here, but I don't think I could EVER keep it together if I were in your shoes! You impress me!

Thank you sooo sooo sooo much T-Cake. That was so sweet of you to say.

The "boss" wanted to write me up for being in a bad mood. Silly isn't it?? Well, he ssaid that I was walking around pissed off and not in a good mood. I was like WTF?!?! I was in a really good mood yesterday. So basically it was a waste of my time to sit here and listen to him blab on and on. I can't stand being around some of these men; they drive me nuts.

Good Morning girls!
I hope you're having a good weekend and the boss has a good weekend with wife or whoever has to see him at home and sends him off in a good mood for the week to come!
Jamie, I know what is like to be separated from family and it just plain sucks at times.
I hope you feel better, and keep up the good work on the project.
I think you began 2 weeks ahead of me. I like reading your thread. I hope to see pics of you soon! Show yourself off GIRL!

Mornin'

I really wish he could see his wife and she could send him to work in a good mood but that is impossible right now. I am in Iraq right now and I am around the same people all of the time. One other guy and I work in our own office and he outranks me so I have to listen to what he says. It is just the amount of time we have been away that is making everyone out here start to go crazy and we still have 7 months left over here.

I have been following your log of the project as well. The problem with me is the diet. I have a severe binging issue that I am trying to work through and get rid of. I really enjoy the workouts and the fact that I do one body part a day. I feel like I am getting so much stronger and leaner. It is a really good feeling and you are right, I need to take some pics for real. I will see what I can do about that.

Have a good weekend flor and thanks for stopping by.

 

[florencia]

Oh Jamie now that you mention it again, I am aware that youe are in Iraq! Sorry if I touched a soft spot! Let's try and get both something out of the situation...Life has something in store for us, Good Great Plans! In this transition we must learn something that will make us better, let's try and find out what lesson it is we have to learn today or in next weeks to come.
I think maybe compassion for others, not self pity. I am surrounded by poverty and with beggars, so maybe it is one way for me to see the compassion I am talking about, and see the blessings that I have.
One of them is meeting you and all the EF girls...well..ok and guys..LOL
I must go workout! I see you do ellpitical do you do it for HIIT too?

I know what you mean flor. I have been to Mexico many times with my boyfriend (and not to TJ or Cancun). What you said made me look at my situation and feel like a POS because my situation is not at all that bad. I mean look at the people we are here to protect. Their lives are so much worse. Thank you for pointing that out to me, that really made me open my eyes.

I don't do HIIT on the eliptical but I like to use it when I do SS. 45 minutes on a treadmill seems like days but isn't nearly as bad on the eliptical. Take care hun and have a great weekend.

I hope you had a good day! Night night.

For real? I'm laughing because I'd be fired right now after the week I've had with my boss.

You're looking good too, keep it up girl

Thanks Flor! I had a really good night spending time with an old friend.

Thanks sweety. That was such a cute little teddy. Weekend is going really well so far.

Have a great weekend chica!

Thanks Merm.

If I had the options of being fired or quitting I would have done that a really long time ago. I am proud of what I do but it is a little frustrating dealing with only men (egotistical men none the less) all of the time. Of the 40 people that work in my building there are 4 females. It is difficult finding someone to talk to "girly issues" with and for some reason that actaully affects me on some level.


Have a good weekend ladies!!

Missy Missy Missy!
You are doing good! Some days are better than others, the struggle is constant, do not give up, or even think you are failing.
I have had struggle with binging at times, and what would allow me to give in was having pity for myself, (poor me, I am all alone...etc...) or thinking that being vain is too much...etc...you get the picture, BUT when I realized the Cheat meal is planned I decided to wait and have that one meal, and not feel too bad afterwards, because I do anyways....yet calorie wise...there is no way that my cheat meal could have more calories than a binge!
So try reading a post Treillin put up which is great and very easy to realte to.
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488401
And guess what...I love loging on or just reading the threads because I can do the girlie issues here, it's benn so good for me, frieds are kind of distant due to babies and other activities...So you have one new freind here, and about men being so ego centered...LOL...C'mon in every country we know the ¨me, myself and I...¨let them be just pretend you listen LOL...You have me for all you need ! I promise!
Right now I am heading to the park, Colomos it is called, In the northern part of the city, NYC's central park wanna be...LOL...So I will jog tke a brik walk or maybe even do some HIIT...I am so sun burned!
I will check up on you later on today..

Thank you for all of your support Flor. You are so sweet. It is funny because once I saw that you had posted this I had just decided that enough was enough and stopped binging like a fat kid. It is getting to the point where I wonder what effects binging is having on my body and it is starting to worry me. I did read that article Treil posted and I can totally relate. Thank you for all help, it really means a lot to have someone that actually cares about what you are doing.

Lots of

 

[sbt2082]

Hey hun! Again, don't worry about the binge, stuff like that happens... but I'm sure your body will get rid of it no problem (esp since its not used to that stuff) and you'll be right back ontrack in no time! Oh and about the scale weight... don't worry about it for sure hun because I'll tell ya right now based on the scale I way more now then I have in months, yes all my clothes are looser and belts a notch tighter... so again its "just a number" Keep your head up sweetie and keep on kicking some @$$ And no matter what just remember to smile

Thanks girl. I know there is no way a lot of that crap I eat can possibly stay in me because the next morning is baaaad (you know what I mean). I have decided to stop weighing myself every single day and am going to do it once a week (at most). I am not hung up on the number anymore! to the scale.

I am trying my hardest to be more positive at work and it is getting me through the days a little better. Exactly 4 weeks until I am outta here and on a plane to see my family and my man

Thanks for always checking up on me and giving me motivation SBT! You are such a sweet and caring person. Thank you.

Thanks for noticing. I have gone through tons of Trident but I am sticking with my diet damn it.

Have a good day.

I started laughing at this.... I totally know the feeling!!! I used to be worse... actually I haven't been chewing more then 2 or 3 pieces a day now... I have no energy to chew gum... ha ha
Keep up the great work girl

Keep up the great work girl

I think I only ate one pack today

At least it is cleaning my teeth (according to the commercials and the wrapper)

Thanks for stopping in Treil

 

[sbt2082]

Hmmm I seem to have the same problem... chew about 2 or 3 pieces a day easy Sometimes that three hours between meals can be an eternity Hope you have a good weekend sweetie!!!

Hi Jamie I'm out of my home town, in the US now, going back to Mexico tonight.
You must keep the faith in yourself! It si so much harder in the states than in Mexico to keep a diet clean! Man every grocery store I go to has like a zillion types of breads and junk food! Too much of everything, and such easy access...I have been oh so good! No training but clen diet.
Hope you are good! Really Good!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Today is a little better than yesterday and tomorrow is going to be even better. I am trying to be much more positive about things.

Hi Jamie! Good Morning from Guadalajara!
I am starting week 3 of Shadows project today.
I was in San Antonio TX. and missed 5 workouts, clean diet though!
I know you will have a great day, the reason is you're alive!
If you do binge, or eat something you were not planning, DON´T think even suggest you are a bad person or let your self esteem suffer from that...
Sometimes it happens, and sometimes we have will power.
Being alive is a treasure and a learning experience.
So please enjoy what you have.
I say this to you, and it helps me as well.
Have a happy happy night! I imagine you're like 10 hrs. ahead of me.

Hey chica!

Morning Jamie!!! Hope today is fantastic!! :HUG:

Hey girl. It is nice having your motivational butt back on here

Right here with you sista

I just need to think of the good and push away the bad. This year is such a struggle but it WILL eventually end and I will have a normal life once again.

 

[iceprincess]

Hang in there chicka and keep that head up!! You are getting closer with each day and getting stronger as well, both mentally and physically. Stay focused and take one day at a time, that is all you can do.

 

[florencia]

Hi Jamie Lynn!
I hope today is a good day for you. Yesterday I was grossed out! So it's your turn to feel good! I must confess that when I feel like I did yesterday...I realize that I am trying SO HARD to change a situation, that I have no control over, and I get so many mixed emotions that just downright pull me down into the bottom of the whirlpool. And I drown.
I may drown in sorrow, self pity, self abuse..(fat ugly b*tch, loser) oh man they come in like it was a sand storm....
And I may eat junk, or do something that harms me even more. So I had a horrible night, BUT now I am aware that I AM my worste enemy...that I am stuck with myself 24 X 24 by how many years I may live.
So I might as well like myself...Everyone leaves our lives, or we don't have what we want. BUT WE DO HAVE OURSELVES and we must accept ourselves, it's a race against ourselves...not others.
As soon as I accept my life, myself, my sorrows, my wants, and my impossibles...then I will have so much peace, I will not be fighting to change what just is.
This has been the best thought in the last hour. I hope it helps myself as others.
Love ya!

How are we doing over here in this corner?

Thanks girl. I am still doing my workpouts as scheduled but my diet is not exactly perfect. Now on top of the crap at work and everything I am going through a horrible time with my boyfriend. At least I am starting to figure things out now rather than when I get home. Thanks for your support.

You are too sweet for words. What you said really means a lot and it is something that my mom is now just learning after being married for 25 years. Thank you flor. I take everything you say to heart and you are really helping me get through this crap.

How are we doing over here in this corner?

Hi treil!
I am hanging in there and trying to sort things out right now. Hopefully everything will be resolved pretty soon.

I hope you ladies all have an awesome day!! You deserve nothing but happiness!

 

[sbt2082]

Hey girlie!!! Nice to see ya around again!!!

 

[iceprincess]

Hope you are having a fabulous day - please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help ya out or just make ya smile!!

 

[jenscats5]

Hi Jamie!! Hope you're doing ok - hang in there!! Just remember that it's ok to take/make time for YOU....life can be tough at times......take the stress out at the gym or treat yourself to some flowers or a pedicure or something....

 

[florencia]

Hi,
I am sorry to hear about boyfriend trouble. I hope it's just that it's a stage.
I have learned that if I try to change anyone, or even expect they will change it will be FRUSTRATION CITY! As odd as it may seem, the things you first like of a person, will be the things that will haunt you, or you will hate about that person in the long run.
The easiest example is what I tell my daughters...people will say
¨Oh I love how he drives...He burns rubber, he's a F1 pilot in desguise...¨
Yeah right! How many women do you see/hear complaining about how hsuband drives, or tell him he's going to fast/he cut into the other cars...ETC...
So if he's a mad man, or has some type of recurring behavior...HA HA HA It will just get so much more potent day by day...LOL
(Women too, we just nag or repeat ourselves, or pree play stop foward on the same cassette)
I am laughing at this because it will always be the same...
He bothers you, you bother him, kids learn and do the same thing.
The things I do...Well...try and live life to the fullest, do not get hung up on what he does, or what he ¨means¨
Do not translate his words or try to find a meaning...
It's yes or No, if it's unclear, ask to please decifer the code...LOL...
I do get hung up on myself...LOL Body Fat...that is enough for me...
If I did get hung up on others...INSANE ASYLUM for FLOR...
James...I hope you do get what you want...or at least get what you need.
As I said before Miss 007 (YOU JAMES)...
You can count on me for whatever you need, talk girlie stuff and all.
OK?
Have a great day. Alot of people love you

 

[T-Cake]

Hi Jaime!!!

Poor babygirl -- when it rains, it pours, huh? Just remember we're all here for you and love ya' lots, cutie pie.

Chin up! Everything happens for a reason... and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Hey girlie!!! Nice to see ya around again!!!

Hi SBT!!! Sorry I am not as regular on here but life is hectic over here. I still read up on you all as much as I can but there just isn't time like there used to be.

Hope you are having a fabulous day - please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help ya out or just make ya smile!!

Thanks girl, that means a lot. I will be fine, I am just learning a lot about myself right now and I do not know if I am ready to face the cold hard facts yet. Take care woman.

Hi Jamie!! Hope you're doing ok - hang in there!! Just remember that it's ok to take/make time for YOU....life can be tough at times......take the stress out at the gym or treat yourself to some flowers or a pedicure or something....

Thanks girl. If only I could just go and get a pedicure. That would actually be really nice right now but of course I can't do that.

Flor, you always know how to make a girl feel good, thank you again. I think it is over with my boyfriend. There is nothing more frustrating than calling from Iraq and having someone completely ignore you. It hurts way too much to deal with long term. I am making plenty of friends and I do not need his grief. I think I am just starting to realize what I need and he was no part of what I need in my life.

Thank you for being so kind Flor, you are a gem.

Hi Jaime!!!

I totally agree with you T. Everything that happens does happen for a very specific reason and this deployment made me realize that I do not need certain people in my life to drag me down and hold me back. Like one of the guys out here said, he was dead weight and I can do a whole lot better than him. Thanks girl, you are truly an inspiration.

Hey there girlie!!! Just wanted to say hi and I hope that you have a great day

Hey girl! Lots of

Have a good night! Missing your posts

I am going to try and get back into the posting groove by Monday. I see nothing but craziness in the near future right now.

Hey grily!! Hope you have a FABULOUS day!! Hugs to you girl

Today has actually been better than most recently. I feel like a weight has been lifted and I am free to be me now. Hope you had a good day!

 

[iceprincess]

YEA - I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better today!! AND...good to see you back online!!

 

[florencia]

Hey James...It's not only calling from Iraq...You can have him sitting right next to you and ignore you. It's sad both ways. The best way to hurt someones self esteem is ignore them.
That's why it's so painful when you get the ice treatment in middle school etc.
I hope you're doing good.
I am trying not to get caught up in what I feel is a plateau.
XOXOXO

James...(Do you mind) I say it in the sweetest tone...
My Shadows project vanished form my laptop! I am mourning, do you have it?
In Word or Excel? acn you e mail it to me?

THANKS

Hugs to ya', Jamie! That was REALLY a smart observation of you, and you're right -- you ARE better off! You're going to return from Iraq and even BETTER prize than you were when you left to go there, and there's no turnin' back now! Keep that in mind -- not just ANYONE can have you -- you're way too special for that. You're doin' great. Keep your eye on the ball -- YOU and YOUR happiness! Much love, sista'.
