Rent

2008-09-22T15:32:00.000-07:00

So I paid my rent on time and they lost it. LOST my rent.
well I get a call today from the moron that took over ...seriously.
could she be any more of a bitch? probably. it was THEIR fault
and she was ready to issue a notice. well I told her to have
her boss call me and it was all straightened out and I got
100$ off october rent. I'm going to have a signature
reciept when I send it from now on. it's like 2 dollars.
Will save me time and hassle of having to deal with them.
Anyone else have horror rent stories?

the stupid email.

Wednesday

2008-08-20T16:45:00.001-07:00

This weekend is the family picnic that I think I might go
to. It's my dad's side of the family so i'm not sure I WANT
to go, but I might. My mom's going, so that's why I might.
I'm full full full. I stopped at Atlanta Bread Co. for a
chicken salad sandwich and i'm way way way full!!! Those are the
bomb diggity!! That's all from me...peace out!

FINALLY!!!!!

2008-08-19T15:53:00.000-07:00

I must start by saying thank you for the Good Karma and
Prayers!! I think things finally ...FINALLY...are going
to possibly turn around. I got my car fixed, I didn't get
a parking ticket (hahah), and so far that's it but I feel
a lot better about things today. Thank you.

Happy Birthday Internet Sister Amy!! (ok fine...

a parking ticket on my car when i go outside.

2008

2008-08-06T19:13:00.000-07:00

I want to begin by saying hi to everyone who still checks in lol. you dorks!
I also wanted to mention that I'm feeling like a failure lately. One bad
thing after the next is happening and I'm just waiting for the big one to
just come shake me dry. Once you hit bottom, you're suppose to go up right?
it's like I hit bottom and find a shovel to dig further. cast me a line
someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a stick.....anything!!!!!
I let my mom down. I let myself down. I ruin everything I touch. Yet I still
push on. aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I don't want advice. I need to do this
on my own. I just needed a random place to vent.

YO!

2007-08-09T20:04:00.000-07:00

Hey internet!!

it's been a while since i've posted anything. i hope everyone is well. nothing
much happening here! Yesterday i went to a timber rattlers game with my nephew Owen and my class and center. it was fun!! i got really sunburned on my back and a little bit on my face...odd for my face because i put sunscreen on it. that's about it. oh!! wait!! My friend amy is going to have a baby!! congrats to her and her husband! ok now, that's it lol.

ciao internet!!

Final weigh in day...

2007-06-27T05:40:00.000-07:00

Today was the final weigh in and i came in 3rd place. not too bad for thinking i wasn't even going to be in the final 3. we got some really nice prizes too. 4 tickets to water fest (anyone know what that is? lol), 4 movie passes, 4 tickets to see the timber rattlers, and 4 passes to the milwaukee zoo. the first place person (kati) got a 300$ shopping gift card to the oshkosh outlet mall. we also get our "after" shots taken at glamour shots and those will be posted on the website. in total i lost 20.5 pounds, gained 3 pounds of muscle and lost 32 pounds of body fat (which i guess is different that the actual pounds lost...who knows) we were also on the radio this morning live in the studio. that was kind of fun. and then monday i'm starting the work out routine again. only we have to pay this time. we are getting 10$ off a month for the membership as a "gift" to us. not too bad. and then we get 2 free training sessions a month with our membership so that's good too!

have a great week!

final 3

2007-06-06T05:43:00.000-07:00

so i made it to the final 3! it's Kati, Trisha, and myself. we are what is left and now it's 3 weeks of us being personal trained/working out until the last day...June 28th. there are no more eliminations. the 'winner' will be decided
on that day. so here's to being in the top 3! oh, i lost 1/2 pound this past weigh in. so i'm down 21.

Isn't she lovely?

2007-05-31T11:34:00.001-07:00

My niece Hali turns one today!! the year went fast!!

biggest loser!!

2007-05-25T04:59:00.000-07:00

ok so here's how today went. one of the girls quit today. kelly. which is great! karma will come and bite you in the butt. she came up with this rule about how if you're late for a workout (mwf) and you don't call, you get 5 pounds added to your weightloss total and we all agreed with this rule. well this is the second friday in a row where she didn't call or show up..so she had 10 pounds added. she got ticked at justin cuz he told her that and she said 'fine i quit' and hung up the phone. too bad so sad *L* buh bye. so i'm in the final 4! i also was the winner this week with weight loss. i lost 6.5 pounds. so my total since i started is 20.5 pounds gone. WOO HOO!

i lost a size!!

2007-05-24T05:28:00.000-07:00

and i don't want you to help me find it either hahah!! i'm down one size in my jeans!!!

yikes!!

2007-05-23T20:37:00.001-07:00

still a long way to go!!

pictures

2007-05-22T04:38:00.001-07:00

i've decided to do some pictures. before, during, and after shots of my 12 weeks. this first one is the "glamour shots" picture.

i'm going to try to take a recent picture later on.

i was home today with strep throat so i didn't go in to work out but i did
my "biggest loser" workout dvd with bob the trainer. holy crap! so i am a wuss
or really not feeling good. i did 15 minutes of the actual work out, i did the5 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down for a total of 25 minutes. i'm sweating
more in that 25 minutes than i have ever sweat at the gym. they have boot camp
next week and i can't go because i'm working, but they have a boot camp thing on
this dvd that i'm going to do (assuming i'm not eliminated next week) that should be hard to do. maybe i'll start doing it this week along with the other work outs i'm doing. man i am just sweating *L* well that's it for now.

guess what!!!??!!

2007-05-08T19:47:00.000-07:00

I RAN!! today at my cardio session...i was walking on the treadmill and all of a sudden i kicked it up to 4.2 and i started running. it was probably for 40 seconds, but I RAN!! and the whole time in my head i was thinking...holy crap i'm running!!
was a good feeling. then i stopped and started walking again and was out of breath LOL! but ..I RAN!!!

my butt has been kicked!!

2007-05-07T05:43:00.000-07:00

they added weight to my workout routine...instead of 20 pounds, i'm up to 30 pounds on each leg now. holy crap am i sore *L*

friday weigh in...and elimination

2007-05-04T04:52:00.000-07:00

today went ok. i gained 2 pounds but lost 6.5% body fat this week...whatever that means. and also, i'm still in the game. i didn't get cut. woo hoo!

workout..

2007-05-03T05:22:00.000-07:00

i got up this morning to go walking on the treadmill. 45 minutes. came home. took a shower. and now i'm sitting here with 40 minutes to spare before i have to go to work...drinking a cup of coffee and eating my 'triple threat' power bar. tomorrow is elimination day so i need to just stick to the program. i'm worried about it a little but ya know what..if i am eliminated...there's nothing i can do about it.
have a good thursday!

friday...

2007-05-02T16:17:00.000-07:00

i have this odd feeling i'll be eliminated on friday. i skipped my workout on monday because i moved and it was too much. i didn't gain any weight but i'm sure i didn't lose any. i went to my workout this morning and was basically made to feel like crap because mr. trainer man didn't get my message until half way through the workout. is that my fault he didn't check messages when he got in in the morning..cuz the dude gets in at 4am. no it is not. i called the night before at a decent time. so, if i am eliminated friday, i'll let you know. it goes by weight.
i'm planning on doing my workouts and stuff until then, but we'll see what friday brings. at least i can still go to the gym. that i'll still do.

HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-27T04:46:00.001-07:00

I'M DOWN 8 POUNDS FROM LAST WEEK!!!!!! WOOO HOOOO!!! for a total of 13.

2007-04-26T05:41:00.000-07:00

http://www.soleburner.org/course.html

with the other losers *L*.....hopefully i won't be eliminated next week but either way, i'm doing that.

Good morning campers!!

2007-04-25T05:16:00.000-07:00

it's a lovely endorphine filled morning here at camp fatty be gone! i'm sitting here eating my protein bar and having some coffee (yay!!) and i have a tip for some crunches for you!! lay on the floor and cross your leg. put your hands behind your head and do 20 crunches to one side (towards your knee) then switch and do the other side for 20. when you are done with that, lay down and bend your knees and put your hands palm side down at your sides and do 20 more crunches. you only want to go up a little bit...don't do a complete sit up or you're doing it wrong.

later today or tomorrow i'll post a couple of recipes for smoothies and protein bars and tell you another exercise you can do at home. :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

weekend went too fast!

2007-04-22T19:57:00.000-07:00

I went to spend some time with my mom and my nephew today. we went to the wildlife sanctuary. it was a nice day!
tomorrow is coming too fast. i don't really feel like working out anymore. is that bad?

yer outta there!!!

2007-04-20T05:04:00.001-07:00

i'm safe :) woo hoo!! i also lost 5 pounds and 7.5 inches :) and i don't want them back if you find them haha.

cut day!

2007-04-20T02:40:00.000-07:00

today we find out who goes home. one of the 8 of us is outta there. i hope it's not me!! i'll let you know.

meet the losers!

2007-04-19T05:07:00.001-07:00

kiss fm has our pictures up on the website. yikes! lol.

http://www.959kissfm.com/skin/graphic.php?sectionId=180&galleryId=420900&contentId=497838

i look like a dork haha.

ok ...now we're cookin!

2007-04-18T05:09:00.000-07:00

alright, i'm back on track. not that i fell off the track, but i don't feel so crappy about this week anymore. friday is the weigh in...according to MY scale, i'm down 6...we'll see how that goes on friday. one person is out. but we get to keep our gym membership which is nice. the part i don't like about working out is the muscles that are constantly sore. for example...we have to do lunges. 15-20 of them. with weights. so as you go down, your arms come up with the weights and i HATE doing them. screw you lunges! lol. today i was on the radio again.
they want us calling in a couple of times a week. i'm also partially famous in california now. *L* there's a program on tuesday nights on bravo called "workout". if you haven't seen it, what's your problem? *L* they do the very same exact workout/training that we do at the gym. catch it. just remember to do 15-20 reps...not 4 like they show haha.

have a good wednesday!

monday blahs!

2007-04-16T05:37:00.000-07:00

i feel really discouraged today. I went in for my workout/training and i feel like
i did crappy. then we got the chance to weigh in today. i lost a pound. ONE POUND. what's that about? i've been busting my butt trying to do this stupid thing, getting up at 4 in the morning to workout, trying my hardest and i lose a pound. great...let's keep that up and see if in 2015 i can be a good size. i'm not going to quit, but i don't feel as good today as i did the other times when i got done working out.

sunday night and all is well!

2007-04-15T20:16:00.000-07:00

tomorrow morning is coming too fast! i wonder if we weigh in tomorrow...i hope so.
that would be cool to find out if i lost anything...according to them, not me.
i can feel my double chin going away...which is always nice. slow and steady wins the race. i also have to remember my food diary tomorrow...well food diary papers haha. i'll write more in the morning :)

feel the burn!

2007-04-14T06:08:00.000-07:00

they say when your sore the day after you work out, you're doing it right.
i'm sore behind my elbows...so that makes it so much fun to do anything!!
advil has become my friend. so has water. i can't stand water *L*

everyone have a good weekend! i'm walking today on the treadmill and babysitting.

Go go gadget arm!

2007-04-13T05:16:00.000-07:00

i probably won't be typing much the next few days hahah. my arms hurt...and shockingly my legs are fine *L*

go team sore legs!!

2007-04-12T19:31:00.000-07:00

holy crap! i can hardly sit down and when i get there, i can't stand up hahha.
tomorrow i'll be complaining about my arms, so get ready!!

:)

50 minutes on the treadmill today...i walked a little over 2 miles...up hill...both ways haha.

ow

2007-04-11T05:21:00.000-07:00

working out is hard work!! that's all i have to say!

oh...one more thing....2 people get eliminated on friday...i hope it's not me!

and also....i got to work out with the guy :) he's nice and his "ok 5 more" 's were
not horrible *L*

woo. woo.

2007-04-10T15:55:00.000-07:00

i'm getting a cold *L* so i'll be extra fun working out tomorrow, which is my first
real day with the trainers (oh please let it not be the chick and let it be the really cute guy....please please ..i promise to shower *L*)

2007-04-09T02:18:00.000-07:00

thoughts upon waking this morning ......i think i finally lost my freakin mind!!

2007-04-05T04:36:00.000-07:00

as the time gets closer, i am getting a little nervous. what if i am setting myself up to fail? what if i can't get up at 415 to work out. i mean...how many people REALLY do that? i'm kind of nervous about the whole deal. hopefully i won't over sleep. that would be bad.

I'm a big loser!!

2007-03-31T06:26:00.000-07:00

So recently I was listening to 95.9 kiss FM ...A local radio station here...And they had a contest "hey sign up to be our biggest loser...We'll train you, get you in a gym, contests etc." so I did. I wrote an email. I wrote the best email I could think of ..."I'm lazy. I am the laziest person I know when it comes to working out and weight loss but I thought if I would be motivated some how, why not try it and what a great way to lose weight...To be motivated with prizes" and I left it alone thinking...Yeah, they will choose me alright..Right after I win the superbowl by myself. Well, I get this call Friday at 4pm and it's Mary love (that's her radio name I'm sure lol) and she says...We chose you and 7 other women out of 450 people.
I immediately got excited and wooo hoooo'd a couple of times and wow...Me? Really?
cool! Then I called her back and she gave me the scoop. I'll be working out with these women and 2 personal trainers for 12 weeks, Monday Wednesday and Fridays from 5 AM TO 7AM ..(holy crap what did I do? LOL). Then I get to work out on my own as much or as little as I want and the only requirement is that I go once a week to the trainer to get weighed and measured. ok...It's a 2000 dollar value so why would I not take advantage of the trainers...Right? So it begins April 9th at FIVE AM!
which should be fun because I work at 815 with kids...So I'll be fun *L* "no Miss Jenny can't pick you up because if I do I'll drop you and scream in pain" rock on!
my friend Pamela has a website called veggies taste like dirt (the link is on the side under "Pamela") and she's so funny. I told her and she's all "you're gonna hate it and love it at the same time and can I do a story on you?" *L* nothin but love for that dork. in fact, I just wrote the funniest thing to her..."I'm done being fat. I am. And I know what it takes to not be fat...I just have a problem with food talking to me...Saying "jenny....We love you love us" *L*"

so here I go. Keep checking back to see how I am doing. I'll write as much and as often as I can ...As I become a losah!!

fat rant...

memories..

2007-02-28T05:10:00.000-08:00

i was reading one of the blogs i visit on a daily basis and the woman was talking about how she has a pair of gloves from her grandma and when she wears them, she thinks about her.

i have a cup. i mean i have a couple other things that make me think about my grandma but i have this great cup! it's green and white and perfect. my grandma use to drink tea out of it and i would drink tea with her. when she died, this was one of 2 things i wanted of hers. it's the one thing i take such good care of, to make sure it doesn't break or get chipped. when i move, i pack it in bubble wrap and then put sweatshirts around the bubble wrap. it's a great cup. there are some things you don't forget about your grandma. i can tell you the lay out of her house, the make up i use to play with in her bathroom (hahah), the door bell you'd ring once and come in. the stairs i use to slide down on when my aunt lisa lived there. the sewing machine ...that great sewing machine that my grandma taught me how to make pillows on. and man did i make 100's of pillows. i'd always ask for scraps to make them. i made doll pillows, barbie pillows, cat pillows, regular pillows...you name it i made it. i use to make "recipes" in her measuring cups.
i'm not sure why i'm remembering her today other than i'm drinking coffee from the cup this morning.

things are looking up for me. after a meltdown yesterday, i saw the light at the end of the tunnel and it's closer than i think it is. things are gonna get better sooner than i thought. i did a little budget planning, calling around and things will be good in about a month. that's not too bad huh? i shouldn't blog about it because i might jinx myself. *crosses some fingers*

well, i'm off to work. have a super day people!

I think I'm going to stop reading the blogs that make me feel like I don't belong.
there are some out there that just make you feel like you suck! Or make you feel like they are clique-ish. Or they say something remotely funny and they don't have a response for you or make you feel like a loser! Or talk about the same 3 things all the time but spice up the posts to make it look different. Those blogs I took off my favorites list and I'm not going to visit any more. Those people that have 9million readers don't need to hear what I have to say anyway and really? It's just a waste of my time. And also?

there are also some really kick ass blogs too!! See my side panel for links!

have a happy Thursday!

a day in the life of Jenny at work....

2007-01-25T16:34:00.000-08:00

last 5 minutes at work today with a very MENTAL child in our center.

....he told me no, i gave him a choice..he made the wrong choice by telling me no again...he went and got a "canadian watergun" (which was hilarious...it was a turkey baster *L*) and he sprayed it in my face...i got pissed, picked him up..carried his 8 year old 9493900493 pound ass down 3 hallways to the baby side of the building and all the way there he's hitting me and calling me fatass and telling me to go to hell and i said, you're 8...i'm strong, you're going...all the while he's kicking and punching me and spitting in my face. it was a pleasure to carry his nasty 8 year old ass down to the other side.

God bless that child. and God bless me for not losing my cool!

so every time this year i always get a little sad about my birthday. i keep getting older and further away from what i had imagined my life to be like. so...pardon me for a while until the birthday passes and then i'll be on the track to christmas.

i have to report that Herman the fly is no longer with us. *L*

so, i have to say that on occasion you find a couple of really good friends online and then some of them go off and have babies and they sort of adopt you as their kid's aunt. Well, i have one of the best little internet nieces!! She's turning 2 on Thursday. i think I've mentioned her before. When i was a nanny, i watched a little girl named kylin. Well this little girl was born the day before kylin and her mom named her kyla. We use to compare babies lol. Anyway, kyla's mom (Amanda) made a movie of her singing a Laurie berkner song (i LOVE Laurie... www.twotomatoes.com) (or www.noggin.com) and i think she is so freakin cute singing it (kyla, not Laurie haha) so go to www.bittersweetreality.net and check out kyla singing :)

that's all for now :)

So on top of my real job, i got a part time job working at sears portrait studio.
it's something I've wanted to learn how to do. And man am i learning. I'm learning that it's hard to remember crap! My training consists of 30 hours of watching a computer screen to learn about my job, on the job training (way to push me into showing pictures on my first day *L* smart) and then learning the camera. It's so much to learn but I'll learn it. it may take me 9 years to learn, but I'm not giving up. i think people are annoyed with my question asking but i need to learn.
i like it so far, i hope that continues.

Nothing in my life is really new. I like that the weather is cooler but I'm not looking forward to winter. Figure that one out. I have a new pet fly that I've named Herman. The cats love Herman. I, however, do not.

That's about all for now. Hope everyone is good!
