Plan of Attack

Happy Thursday!

Lucky for most of you, it is almost the weekend.  Sadly, I am just starting my work week and headed into finals week.... BOO HISS. And I convinced myself that signing up for overtime on Saturday was a good idea, so I have that game of Russian Roulette to look forward to (pray for low census, you don't have to know what it is, just do it!).  It is also the SEC Championship weekend, which means the end of colllege football season in Alabama. I KIDD I KIDD, I actually hope Auburn beats Mizzou and we can keep that shit in the state.

Don't worry frat boy, this is how we all felt

So I am on legit day 3 of getting back on track, and I have to say, I feel pretty good.  I fully expected to feel like crap without all my junk that I have been living on lately.  I am really hoping that my excitement and motivation carry me through this first week, I am sure the withdrawals will hit me soon enough.

Like I mentioned yesterday, my plan is pretty simple... eat mostly clean and exercise.  When I originally started down the road to  fit town, I didn't know what I was doing so I used MFP to track my calories and basically ate Progresso Soup and Lean Cuisines.  As far as exercise, I started with a Biggest Loser DVD and Zumba on the Wii.  I then moved on to C25k and fell in love with running.... even if I was am incredibly slow, I was running and felt better than I ever had before.  I loved the me time, and the fresh air to be honest. I also started, but never completed the 30DS, I just got bored... maybe I will find the will to actually get through it, don't get your hopes up though. 

All of these things worked AMAZINGLY for me, and I was seeing PROGRESS in my clothes and the scale.  I eventually cleaned up my eating, and started meal prepping.  Everything went great until it didn't anymore.  

I went to the gates of hell also know as walmart yesterday and restocked my fridge with clean foods and did some meal prepping for the week, so I have no excuse not to grab the healthy choices and go! Meal Planning is KEY for me so I will be making an effort to consistently sit down and plan... don't worry I will share my incredibly boring plans with you too.

Gosh, I love me an effing list!

 I also plan on getting back into running, maybe this morning even. I won't be starting c25k completely over again, because I can still run SOME distance without stopping so there's really no need. Most excitingly, I am going to be starting CROSSFIT in January!!!!!  I did CrossFit once before and I absolutely LOVED it, but sadly I fell off that train and never got back on.  I am super pumped to be starting again.  The lady who runs the box I will be going to seems fantastic, and assured me that it is okay that I am a catastrophe waiting to happen  and will probably fall down, puke, or cry every day.  So I will be spending the next month getting as prepared as possible for my first class, and enjoying actually getting to sit on the toilet.

I guarantee you this will be me

                                           

So that is basically how I plan to shed the Stay Puffed Man that is my body, but more importantly get healthy for all that I have in store for myself in the coming years.  I will be doing weekly weigh in posts on the blog, take an annoying amount of selfies and pictures of every meal I eat, and post some of my favorite workouts a la Pinterest. 

Here's one that I LOVE to HATE.  It is the Carrie Underwood leg routine.  It is a BITCH, but if it will make my legs look like this

                 

then I'll do it!  Why the eff wouldn't you?!?!?

          

Welp, I hope you ladies enjoy your day while I'm sleeping and procrastinating taking my last quiz... meh.

Til next time-

I'm Back!!

Hey Y'all

For those of you actually reading this ( 2 of you I believe) I'm Jenn, and I used to blog over at Just Jenn.  A lot has changed since I was on that blog so I thought it best fitting to re-enter the blog world with a fresh start.  I had lost almost 65lbs in 2012 and most of 2013, but shit hit the fan and I fell off the wagon.  As a result I gained back about 25lbs of what I worked so hard to lose.  I lost focus, got overconfident in my lifestyle, got caught up in life, etc.  But those are all just EXCUSES, and I don't have room for those anymore.  So this is the next chapter in my journey to being the best version of myself.  I will share all of my journey with you guys, the good, the bad, and the ugly.... maybe even with pics along the way once I get brave enough.  I promise it won't be pretty, but it will be real.

However, there is more to life than just weight loss, and I will share all the randomness that is my life also, so get ready!!  Here's a little "get to know me" for those of you sweet enough to join me on this hot mess of a blog.

A month ago, I married my best friend, Ryan.  We have been together for 8 years and become "adults" together.  It was the most perfect day ever, and I would love to share all the pictures with you guys. Actually I might, because it's my blog and I do what I want.

Okay, I won't force you to look at them all at once, but just know more are coming!  Planning the wedding was a blast, but it took WAYYY more than I expected!

I also started grad school this semester... WTF was I thinking?!?!  Seriously, I should have waited a few months, not fun while wedding planning. I am fortunate enough to work for a hospital that is paying for a large majority of my degree so DUH!   I am working towards my Masters in Nursing so that I can be a Nurse Practitioner and hopefully work for a transplant team someday!  Until that day, August 2015 to be exact,  I will be working at the bedside.... on nightshift.... meh.

I have 2 furbabies, Ali and Brick who I absolutely ADORE! Oh, and the cat..... meh.  They are my 4 legged babies and spoiled rotten. 

If you can make me laugh I will love you forever. I love TV... so much that we cancelled cable and only have Netflix and Hulu, because I could literally kill a whole day watching garbage and wasn't getting shit done. I cuss more than I should, who doesn't? I LOVE Miley Cyrus and all the crazy shit she is doing.  I have the world's worst grammar.  Gummy bears, Mexican, Riesling, and Yuengling never fail to make me feel at least a little bit better.  Shaved legs and fresh sheets = the BEST thing EVER.  I am terrified of snakes.... irrationally so.  I have never been camping, but really want to.  I have a sarcastic personality, and sometimes can be a little morbid.  I'm always that person who says that thing that everyone was thinking, but didn't want to say. Luckily, I am southern, and no matter how mean the things I say are if they are said in a sweet tone or followed by "bless their heart" it's okay.  Enough about me, tell me about you :)

As I mentioned before, this is a new chapter.  I am fully committed to making the changes to living a healthy life.  I plan on eating MOSTLY clean for now, and exercising regularly.  Running is my favorite, but I am joining a CrossFit box as soon as someone calls me back (HINT HINT jerks). 

Are you tired of reading yet?  I'm tired of typing.  Come back for more shenanigans :) you know you want to!
