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

[jenscats5]

I COULD lean out easier, if I could stick with my damn diet and stop eating other people's food.

Thanks for the compliment!!

Pfft!! It'll take you NO time at all!! Looking good already!!

 

[nelmsjer]

Agreed, Jamie. From the few pictures, you have a good base. Respectfully, more photos, please. It appears you will have NO problem!

 

[iceprincess]

Hey Jamie...how is your Sunday going? Are you on your 24 hour shift?

Hope all is well

 

[Jamie Lynn]

I will try, I guess it's time my roommate and I got a little bit closer.

Thanks for your support Nelmsjer.

 

[Jamie Lynn]

Hey Jamie...how is your Sunday going? Are you on your 24 hour shift?

Hope all is well

I was on my 24 hour shift and we lost all communication abilities because of something so I really wasn't able to get on here.

24 hour duty, so boring as usual.

Day 6 of the project.

Scheduled day off and cheat meal.
I turned that cheat meal into a cheat day and am sick to my tummy still because of it.

I have come to the resolution that in order to get the results I want, I will not have anymore of these cheat days until I go home on leave sometime in July. I know I say that I won't do it all of the time but I mean it for real this time and I need to hold myself accountable.

I am really liking the sesapure. I am drinking just as much water but don't feel nearly as bloated. I think I am already going to order some more so I won't run out.

I hear you on the work cutting into internet time - I have been that way for the past MONTH of so - grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am very much NOT supportive. lol

I am glad that you are enjoying the sesapure - it can and does make a difference!

Take care girl and have a wonderful weekend How are those curbs coming along?

Why is it that when we get close to the halfway point of this deployment all of the higher ups start to lose their heads??? They are driving me insane.

I am going to order more sesapure and gluceroll and some trex too. I figure that should help me out a lot.

The curbs are almost done.....biggest waste of time in my entire life. I am getting so sick of the BS.

Have a good weekend IP, even though I know you will be working.

Day 13 of the project

I royally f*** up last night. I was so stressed and upset because of work that before I went home for the night I had a food fit. I took 3 more gluceroll and 1 more sesapure and ate the shit out of some carbs. I felt so pathetic this morning because the longest I have gone without having one of these bunges is 6 days. Why is it so hard for me to stick to my diet and not lose control? Of course I am sick to my stomach today but I am determined to make the most of this experience and at least now I know why I am not seeing such huge loses even though I am working out consistently.

I know it is hard girl, but try and not beat yourself up about it...look at it on the bright side, you went SIX days without doing it. It is all about babysteps

Great job on the fasted cardio today!! Keep your chin up and keep pressing forward!!

 

[Roonytunes]

Don't be so hard on yourself, girl! So 6 days is your record for now....next time, make it a little longer. Shoot for 7 days or 10 days - sometimes setting mini goals helps to achieve the big long terms ones. And stick a planned cheat meal or cheat day in there so you have a treat to look forward to in the middle. It's all about convincing the mind and little games and tricks like these help

Btw, from seeing your pics, you are definitely doing something right! You look pretty darn good already.

Sounds good to me ..

Food fits are the devil .. had my fair share and they were nasty .. you're human .. you will overcome, and you learn something from yourself every day .. You're doing great JL .. keep up the great work .. been trying to catch up .. sorry it took me so long

Day 14 of the project

Although I am not following the diet in the plan I have been following the workouts and I feel great about them. I like doing the one body part a day because it is like over 100 degrees in our gym and I like to get in and get out. I am sore after almost every workout as opposed to when I was doing the full body three times a week and never getting sore. Now if only I could get this darn diet under control.

Today was another day of fasted cardio.
40 min on eliptical, level 6 preset interval workout

I am not going to record my diet today but rather just say that I have taken about 15 gluc by the middle of the afternoon and my stomach feels like I am way past due. Tomorrrow is Monday and the start of my third week on this workout plan. I am going to do it right and aim for making it to next Sunday without any mess ups.

I think I have also pinpointed a reason for my eating habits being so messed up. Everyday that the scale says 131.5 (the lowest it has hit yet) I eat like crap. I am assuming that in my head I make it seem like it is ok to eat shitty because the scale has gone down and I don't need to follow such a strict diet to keep the weight off. That has been the case for both Friday and today. When I woke up in the morning the scale sais 131.5 so I just let myself go. But what I do not tell my little brain is that in order to get that low I did follow a strict diet and watch what I eat. My goal is to break 130 within the next two and a half weeks (by June 20th). I will let you all know how this goes.

Well....as I sat here reading through journals I ended up eating the entire thing. How gross is that????

Hi JL!

Your log is the first one I went wayyyy back on and caught up, because I just admire that you "only" have 10 lbs to lose (so you've told me) and work so dang hard to do it, in IRAQ no less! Just fascinating to me!

I agree with everyone else that you already look fantastic, and I think it's great that you are constantly pushing yourself to be better. I always look for that quality in people I befriend, so kudos to you!

As for your sugar slip-ups -- tsk tsk! Believe you me, lady, I am the queen of fighting off those temptations, and I slip all the time too, but not so much in the last 5 months because I have to answer to a "higher" power -- but the payoff is AMAZING.

I don't know how you handle it with your roommate having all that junk food in close quarters!!! To me, all the stuff is sheer and my body just HATES it so dang much! You're so hard on yourself when you do slip, but honestly, on average, it's lookin' like it's only once a week, so that could be your scheduled cheat. I hate to see you beat yourself up, but I'm glad you're stayin' honest with yourself and keeping tabs on it.

Just wanted to say hello, and WAY TO GO! You rock hardcore, and I'm going to do my best to follow your journey more closely. Your lifts are OUTSTANDING and so inspiring to me. We all feel inferior now and then, I promise you -- and you're a superhero far as I'm concerned!

T-Cake, You are so sweet. Thank you for that. I am flattered that you went back and read all the way through my journal.

The nights the roommate doesn't come home because she has duty I try to stay at work as late as possible so I once I do go home I just sleep. She is a twig too and that is the hardest part to see. She did work out with me for a couple of months and then she just stopped exercising all together. (a little off topic, sorry).

The problem is that everytime I eat the crap food I end up getting so sick but I still go back and do it. I always try to schedule in a cheat meal but I never end up making it all the way through the week to get to that cheat meal and I give in early and binge. If I could just stop binging so bad I would be golden.

Your support means a lot T-Cake, thank you for being there and understanding. You are a doll.

Thanks girl. I am just counting down the days to the day I get my leave to go see my family for two weeks

 

[T-Cake]

Hi Jamie!

Hang in there girl! I swear, in the last 7 years on WeightWatchers, I've had more friends and family members come and go with me on program, in food, in exercise, in motivation, etc. than a hooker on 8 mile.

Finding people to work with you and motivate you is SO TOUGH, and watching them follow along and then quit is all part of the game, unfortunately.

What's important is that YOU are doing what's best for you, despite all the comments from the idiot boss and people who don't understand how important your health and well-being are to you.

Saboteurs, like your roomie, although sometimes public and sometimes covert -- are ALWAYS around to tear you down. You're doing great with jumping over and conquering each one.

I hope you had a better day today!!! You're such a cutie yourself!!! How long until you get to see your family?

at the 8 mile comment.

Thank you for that little pep talk T-Cake. I just get so fed up with the people I work with and I have no place to go. The situation itself cannot be helped really, I just need to find a way to deal with it.

I will be home in the states in about 5 weeks!!! I am so excited just thinking about it.

I am determined to make everyday the best I possibly can.
