| 03.04.02 Well, let's see...it's another month. *inhaling* ahh...the sweet smell of March. Isn't it grand? lol Alright...I'm pushing it. I'm making myself sick. lol Anyway, well two months of weight loss and the result is...*drum roll please* 23 and a half pounds lost (gotta add the half! lol) so far. Okay, well that isn't a lot when you look at the big picture (ie my progress pictures and my big ass lol)...but it's pretty good. My mom even told me today that she can see a difference. Of course she could have just said that to be nice...but I doubt it. My family isn't the "random" compliments sort of family. But all the same...I appreciate it. Lately I've been eating a lot of Subway...no, I'm not legally thinking about changing my name to Jared...but they have some good stuff and it's low fat. (yeah...it hurts not getting mayo..cheese...and my FAV blk olives...but I'm hanging in there! lol) Plus I've found a Subway that loads up the veggies! (I know you've been to a Subway where they count the # of pickles and shreds of lettuce! lol)...but anyway, I haven't exercise (yeah I know) but I plan to. Really...honestly...really. :o) So, there you go...my update. PS I did go to the movies...Let me tell ya, Monster's Ball is GREAT! Halle Berry acted her butt off. But I must say that the movie could be considered offensive or make you uncomfortable if racial issues kind of make you nervous...which I know it does for some people. But honestly...I'd give that movie 4.5 out of 5. It really was wonderful. Okay...thus ends the movie reviews. Thanks for reading my boring yada yada. lol Jonai 03.11.02 [looking around] ahh...yes, I've been here before. It's the 60's! lol I'm in the 60's...yep, I'm here. I'm quite excited. I got on the scale. Got off...got on...got off...got on...okay, you get the point. And the # stayed the same. I actually new I had lost quite a bit this weekend, but the official # as you may know is the Monday morning #. Whew...it's good to be here. I wish it was 160's...but hey, I'll take what I can get. I haven't really been up to anything differently. I was sick for a little while which I think may have something to do w/the big loss. But hey...I'll take what I can get. :o) I've still been eating quite a bit of Subway. Nope...still not changing my name just yet though. lol I dont know if you noticed but I updated my progress pics. As I said on the page...I don't see much difference. I mean I do notice that my jeans aren't AS tight on my ass...[lol]...but they aren't falling off or anything. And the roll of fat that was there isn't AS big as it was...of course it's still there, but as you know, I'm working on that. lol Hey, it's cool...I'm just thrilled to be in the 60's. :o) Well, nothing new going on here....aside from my job, which is starting to work my nerves. But..I guess that's typical for just about everyone I guess. Haven't seen any new movies...my personal life sucks...and that's my update...until next time... Jonai 03.18.02 Ahh...another monday has passed and it's the moment of truth...hmm, what did that scale say? It said I've lost another 2 pounds...which brings me to the...30 pound mark!?!?! YEAH. Yep...I dunno where the 30 pounds went...but I know for sure I am not going to look for it! lol I really don't see much of a difference, but I can tell a difference in my attitude in general. I do feel better about myself. I mean I am not at the point where I walk around w/my head so far up that I don't see anyone...(ahh, one day! lol just kidding!!!)...but I'm cool. Work today was a nightmare...umm, did I ever mention how stressful my job is...? Well, let me inform you...it's VERY stressful. What on earth was I thinking majoring in communications...umm...oh well. lol But what I really need to do is move my butt and look for a better job...b/c the one I have ain't doing a darn thing for me. No benefits...no time off...no vacation days...and dang, I don't get pay enough either! lol I mean really...you have no idea how stressful my job is...*sigh*....but it's cool. Anyway, I haven't caught any movies recently...and I probably won't being that I have to work on my day off Wed...which irritates the hell out of me...but oh well. I guess it will give me less time to think about food. Or at least a LITTLE less time to think about food. Anyway, life is decent...gotta find a new job. I'm excited about the 30 pound mark...*smiling hard*...and that's all I have to say. Catch ya later... Jonai 03.25.02 Hey, long time no journal! lol Ahh, it's Friday!!! Okay, it's Friday for me at least. Whew, it's been one helluva week. First my computer crashed...secondly my cell phone crashed...and I worked 46 hours this week (keep in mind I normally work about 31 hours!). Good grief Charlie Brown..I'm SERIOUSLY tired. lol I went to the grocery store tonight...so that's one less thing I have to do tomorrow. I need to get some gas...has anyone noticed the HUGGGE jump in gas prices lately...whew, it's rough. Anyway, moving on...guess what? I lost 3 pounds. Yep...I'm officially 264Ibs...yep, I'm feeling real light on my toes right about now. lol Let me stop joking. I don't see a big difference still. I did take a full body update picture this weekend b/4 leaving for work, but it looks TERRIBLE...I think my camera was on the wrong setting...but here is one of them just so you can see. (faces have been blurred to protect the innocent...umm that would be my niece, who is pictured w/me. lol) Anyway...I haven't really been exercising...yeah, I know I know. I promise I'm going to start. I know...I've said it before...I know. Geez...I'm sorry! I'm hurting my own progress...this I know...you don't have to think it. *sigh*... Well, that's my update...still going strong. I think I am going to buy some leg weights and some new jogging pants to go walking in though...perhaps that will serve as a bit of motivation. oh yeah...did you all see the Oscars? Go HALLE!!!!! I absolutely loved Monsters Ball (refer to entry 03.04.02)...I was cheering for her ALL the way!!!! Plus her dress was nice...wow. She has the figure that I would kill for...okay, at least eat less for. lol I mean not anyone could wear a dress like that and pull if off...wow. After seeing Monster's Ball Halle immediately ranked as one of my fav. actresses...and if you've seen it...then you know why. She is a very talented woman! Anyway...I've typed enough...once again, thanks for listening (umm...reading! lol) my mindless yada, yada... Jonai *okay...still having computer problems...I'll load the picture soon though!!! ****Oh yeah!!! I noticed that the picture I put on the opening page makes me look cross-eyed or something (umm...not that anything is wrong with being cross-eyed)...but I'm not so I'm currently working on changing that. But unfortunately when my computer crashed...it took 1/2 programs with it! Just thought I'd let ya'll know! BTW...I'm not cross-eyed. (not that there is anything wrong with it.) And yes, I am paranoid and care what people think about me...face it to some degree we all do...go on, admit it...it's human nature... 03.26.02 Ahh...another update so soon?!?! What's up w/that? hehehe. Well, if you've check out my progress picture page then you know why I'm typing something...ahh, I posted updated full body pictures! You know it's @ this point when I'm REALLY glad I'm doing this whole thing online...b/c I really can see a difference in the pictures. Now, every day I can't see a difference, but I can see it in the pictures...my thighs look smaller (gosh I hope it's not an illusion! lol)...before in October of last year my thighs seems more angled...kinda like a right angle or something. lol...now they seems sort of "shaved" at the angle part. Umm...excuse the explanation...can't think of a better way to say it! lol Of course I'm not as "toned" if that's a good word or not...but anyway...as I could be b/c I haven't been actively exercising...so I am aware of that. But with 30 Ibs lost...I can honestly say I see a difference (I have serious THIGH issues...I REALLY REALLY dislike them...along w/my double chin, arms, stomach...okay...you get the pic. lol) Well, there ya go...there are my pics I mentioned last diary entry...except I retook them b/c the others sucked! (it was TOO sunny outside and my camera was on the wrong setting I guess) anywho...there ya go. Feel free to let me know what you think! Jonai |
