Ok as you can tell by my title. Im starting my Diet over. Since my TOM i gained just about all my weight back. But So far this week I am doing good.  Eating better..exerciseing more and taking my vitamins.  Right now I weigh 156 so I have four more pounds till I reah my goal for this month and I have intill April 30th to do it.  My fat pants are no longer tight on me. And Im working my wiegh down to fit into my dream dress for Vegas. This dress is gunna cost 300. So i ahve to fit into it, and look great too. Welp that is for now on my progress. Jenna

Ok everyone. dieting aint going so well.  I have been sick all last week (you would think that I would lose weight from that) but also I have my monthly (I know TMI)  so I have gained some water weight which sucks cuz I was at a platu but not only do I have to get off that platform but go back down a couple pounds.  Since I am trying to lose 40 to 50 pounds I think my goal for each month will be to lose atleast 10 pounds per month..then when I finally get down to my goal weight my goal will change from losing weight to kepping it off and toneing up. I'm not gunna do like most people and stop going to the gym just cuz I lose the weight i gunna keep at it.   Well I this is a short post but its too the point.  I'll post in a couples days on whether or not i lose this weight form my monthy and if i get off this platform.  Jenna

Ok everyone I decided to update this journal b/c I havent been hom in a couple of days. And the first thing I did this morning was weigh myself. I have lost two more pounds.  So  have lost a total of 12 pounds.  Me and mom are hopefully going to the gym tonite to work off some more wieght. Well Thats I have to write about for now.

 

Hello everyone. I decided to update today since I'm the only one up at the moment. Well my blog ring code wasn't working right so I have it in a blog instead of at the top of the page. Well me, and my mom have joined a gym to help us with our weight loss. I don't even remember what the guy was saying as he showed us around..I was too busy staring at his butt. Wow, was that man good looking. lol  Well tomorrow at 8 we have an appointment with the trainer to get us started. He's basically gunna take some measurments and give us a work out and diet regiment (sp). Well since i have started this diet I have lost 6 lbs. Then 4 more. But now i am stuck at 150. I believe they call this a plato (sp). Hopefully after I meet with the trainer I can start losing more weight.

Well, since starting my diet I have had to cut out alot of wut I use to eat. Mainly my snacks. I am hypoglycemic (sp) and b/c of that I have to eat when ever I feel my blood sugar droping. Hypoglycemia is basicly the oppisite of diabetes. Which in diabetes your body makes too much sugar and not enough insulin. Well in hypoglycemia your body makes too much insulin and not enough sugar, and yes depending on what stage you have just like diabetes it can turn deadly. So, I tend to manily eat only sugar based products..mainly gummybears and twizlers but I noticed too much of this is what caused me to gain all this weight. So, my diet consist of 3 meals a day and 2 snack a day. And if I feel my blood sugar dropping then I eat a reasonable serving of something sweet.  

Well I'll post tomorrow on how our day at the gym went. Jenna

Buns:

Move 1 - Kickup: Kneel on a mat on all fours with your knees hip-width apart, your hands slightly wider apart than your shoulders, and your fingers pointing forward. Raise your right leg until your thigh is in line with your torso. Exhale as you slowly push your foot toward the ceiling. Once you've reached your maximum contraction, hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower your leg until it is once again in line with your torso. Do one set of 12 reps with your right leg, then switch sides. When complete move on to Move 2.
Move 2 - Doggie Hold:
Kneel on your hands and knees. Make sure your hands are under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keeping your leg bent at 90 degrees, exhale as you lift your right leg out to the side (like a dog at a fire hydrant). Hold for 1 second. Lower and repeat the move on the same leg for 12 reps, than switch to the other leg. When complete move on to Move 3.
Move 3 - Squeeze:
Lie on a mat on your back with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees bent. Exhale as you press through your feet to lift your butt 3 - 6 inches off the floor. Push your pelvis up, flattening the natural S-curve in your lower back. Squeeze your buttocks for up to one minute, lower your butt back down to the mat, then move on to Move 4.
Move 4 - Leg Raise:
Lie on a mat on your right side. Support your upper body with your right elbow. Your legs should be extended and aligned with your upper body. Exhale as you slowly raise your upper leg. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower your leg back to the starting position. Repeat this move for 12 reps, than switch to the other side and repeat.
When complete, return to Move 1 and repeat Moves 1-4 once more, and you're done.
After all your 8 minute moves you should do a quick stretch that cools down your muscles and improves your flexibility. This is the only stretch you will need. Do this one move and work 10 muscles. End every workout with this move: Sit on the floor with your right leg straight in front of you. Bend your left leg and out the sole of your left foot against the inside of your right thigh. Your leg will look like the number 4. With your right hand, try to touch either your right ankle or your right big toe. This stretches your right calf, Achilles tendon, hamstring, hip, knee, glutes, lower-back muscles, shoulders, and wrist. Hold the position for 30 seconds and then switch sides.

Then exhale and expand your belly as much as it will expand. Continue alternating between the two positions for one minute and then move on to Move 2.

Repeat with your right elbow and left knee, alternating between those positions for one minute. After 1 minute move on to Move 3.
Move 3 - Seated Torso-Rotation:
Sit in a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor. Sit tall with a long spine. Grasp your hands in front of you with your arms extended. Continue to sit with erect posture as you exhale and twist your torso the right. Keep your head and neck in line with your torso as you twist so that you are always facing your hands. Try not to lean forward. Inhale as you return to the starting position and then repeat on the other side. Continue to twist back and forth for one minute and then move to Move 4.
Move 4 - Flat Lifts:
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Rest your arms at your sides with your palms against the floor. Exhale and tighten your abdomen as you lift and extend both legs, creating a 45-degree angle between your legs and the floor. Don't allow your lower back to arch away from the floor. Continue to breathe normally as you hold the move for 5 seconds. Lower your legs to the floor, rest for 2 seconds and then repeat. Alternate between repeating and resting for one minute, then return to Move 1. Repeat Moves 1-4 once more, and you're done.
