New Me By 2003

surely, everyone (if you've ever visited this page) is wondering why on earth am I just now creating my journal page...okay, here is my excuse...my dog ate my webpage. No, wait...that's not going to work! lol Actually the deal is that I have been searching cyber space for a good place to have a "real" online journal (ie opendiary...etc.) but I couldn't find a good place. Opendiary.com is full right now, so I thought...hmm, why not write my journal right here? I mean this piece of cyber space is just as good as the next.

Anyway, moving on...I've been doing so good in the whole weight loss department...did you see, I lost 7 pounds! Of course, when you weigh as much as I do, you are bound to lose quite a bit @ first...but I'm still excited! I haven't cheated or anything...I haven't even wanted to cheat. Okay, now the question that's on everyone's mind...what am I doing? Well, I am mainly sticking to lowfat/nonfat foods...that's it. It worked before...so I hope it will work again. I've been lazy though...I haven't exercised. *sigh* I don't have an excuse...b/c there isn't one...but I must say it's hard to exercise when you don't have anyone to exercise with...but it's cool, I'll motivate myself to move it and lose it. I mean, the alternate is a smaller body...and a lot of LOOSE skin (ugh!?!). Alright, I'm going to start...really. Would a font like this lie? lol

Until next time, Jonai

Well, I'm back again. Nothing new has happened. I'm still going strong in the weight loss department. I am still motivated, even though this seems like the world's most tedious process sometimes. But it's okay...it will all be worth it. :o) I just have to keep up my motivation. Okay...I have to admit it, I haven't exercised. And I know I should! I promise...I WILL exercise starting this week. If only my job would cut my some slack! I mean really...can I get a break? *sigh* Anyway, here we go...week three is almost here....let's do it...

Until next time, Jonai

well, it has been another one of those days. I finally had a weekend off...and guess what I did? Hmm...NOTHING! Being alone gets so depressing @ times. But it's okay...I still did good in the weight loss department. According to the scale I've lost a few pounds (I hope that damn thing isn't messing w/me! lol). I don't have much to write...I'm just @ home (as usual) on a Saturday night (well actually I'm usually working!...but same thing). Anyway I am off to go do nothing...
(sorry this entry is so BLAH...but I'm just in one of those moods, ya know?)

well, let's see...I made it through the weekend, and I lost some weight too! That's always a good thing. My motivation is still very high. It's amost impossible for me to point out how many times I've been tempted by other people. What is up w/people anyway? I pointed out to my mother out right...I am trying to lose weight...and what does she do..."want something to eat?" "want to buy some girl scout cookies?" (grrr...lol) I mean really...it's about to get ugly! lol I told my mom because I know how she is...so if I don't then it will be even WORSE trying to lose weight around her...(she is the only one who I've told aside from my sister...), but it's like she didn't hear me. *sigh* I guess I'm going to have to break it down to her or something. I mean true, I've tried to lose weight before, but why discourage someone...ya know? I don't know...perhaps it's just. I dunno...anyway, I did exercise last night, but not tonight (boo!!...geez, I know! lol) I'm going to exercise tomorrow though...really?!?! lol

ugh...I just had to say that I added another picture today. damn, could I look any worse? nope, don't think I could. and just think...that's me @ 286.5...two years ago I weighed 320Ibs. ughhh. let's just say that picture is DEFINITELY keeping my motivation high...VERY high.

ahh, well another weigh in...and I lose 2 and a half pounds. Not too bad @ all. Of course I wish I could have lose a hundred (lol)...*sigh* But I'll take what I can get right now. I exercised once since my last entry...which ISN'T good enough. I know I need to go out and move my ass, but it's hard. I've been going through a lot with my job and that's causing my emotions to see-saw. But really I don't have any excuse, exercising would more than likely help me...so, I'm going to exercise tomorrow! Plus, I definitely need to drink more WATER!!! Hey, guess what? I think I might go back to school...*sigh* (Yeah, I just graduated from college May 2001...) but, I think it might be the best decision for me right now...I still am up in the air right now about it though. Well, that's what's been going on with me...what's up w/you? Just kidding! Write ya later.

Ahh...the sweet smell of February. hmm...let's see, there is Black History Month, Valentine's Day...and my sister's birthday. Okay, let's "X" out Valentine's Day, because once again I don't have a valentine (unless you count Charlie and Pooh...the two specials coming on ABC that I'll be watching Valentine's Day night! lol) Moving on..I've been doing good in the weight loss dept. I am still motivated (and trust me that's hard VERY HARD to do around here!). Seeing the # on the scale go down is my movtivation...which is why I guess I'm hopping my butt on the scale every morning. It's hard though b/c not every morning I like the results! lol But generally I control myself and stop myself from throwing the scale out the window. :o) I need to exercise more...I have increased my water intake, but it still isn't very good...it could be much MUCH better. Well, that's all for me now...
Oh yeah...personal recommendation...try "Passionate Kisses" made by Victoria's Secret! I bought some (body wash...lotion...and body spray)...and let me tell you...it's is WONDERFUL! Oh yeah...their new (and first) men's cologne, "Very Sexy...For Him" is amazing too...makes me feel even worse about being single. lol Just thought I'd share...I don't get anything for referring you, just sharing! lol
