for the good times - june 11 / 7:39am

so its been just short of two weeks i think. several people have asked about the blog...whether it is over, why im not writing, etc. well i knew in the beginning that keeping up would be a challenge. i rarely have the time it takes to be consistent with things like this. but its been fun. much has happened since last posting. my eating habits have been up and down. BUT, i have maintained my healthy way of eating. i just added some treats in here and there. i make sure to get my raw veggies and fruits, whereas before i was not doing that. i missed all last week of boot camp. i just lost the fire for it. BUT i still maintained my own personal workout, most days twice a day. i would run at least 2 miles and brisk walk from 4-6. sometimes i did my push/sit ups and sometimes i did not.

some days the 545 just didnt work for me because i dont have the traditional job so it got to where i didnt feel it was purposeful for me to go so early when i didnt have to. however i had to remind myself that i signed up for that time for the group support. a couple of times i went to sandi's 830 class instead. BUT today i was back at my 545 class and this is friends and family week so we had 3 guests with us. pretty kool!

one thing that should be known about me is that my attention shifts like the wind. and wherever my attention is, it is there 200%. so my life has shifted some which has pulled me away from here. i have moved on to my focus for the month of june - ORGANIZING. this is quite an undertaking, as my stuff is between boxes, bins and storage units. i am spread out and disorganized from my move and it is hell trying to get caught up. i feel like i have years of stuff on top of me and it is quite discouraging i might add. BUT one step at a time.

so this blog comes because boot camp ends on friday!!!! that means i need to do the last 3 days of blogging so that i can properly cross the finish line.

todays workout was extensive. i was actually dripping with sweat - YAYYYYYYYY!! i love to sweat during workout. it makes me feel like i am really doing something. i had beads of sweat dripping down my nose and mouth. that was a first so i felt like some sort of athletic champion - LOL!!!!

BREAKFAST: bowl of cereal (vanilla almond special k mixed with ezekiel 4:9 cinnamon raisin) with organic soy milk, 1/2 banana and water.



i am about to rest up and then get back to organizing for the day. i am determined that when june ends, so does my mountain of stuff. i am so looking forward to that. i cant imagine the day, but lord knows i am looking forward to it.

oh by the way - i dug out the old juicer and began juicing yesterday. yum. yesterday evening was carrot, celery and apple. quite tasty for something so healthy. i will do green veggie with my snack and try to drink plenty throughout the day.

well enjoy the day!

friday 5.30.08 / 3:13pm (boot camp day 12 / LUNCH)

today has been a good day. FULL, but great. im pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep but unfortunately i have quite a bit to do. once i wash my hair i will be able to chill a bit before getting out for the evening. anywho...here's lunch:

LUNCH: almond crusted river trout (leftover from last nights dinner at pappadeaux), steamed broccoli, salad (with brianna's blush wine vinaigrette dressing) with water.

i almost messed up. i was going to take 2 bites of the infamous reese's peanut butter cup cheesecake (also left over from pappadeaux)...BUT i put my willpower to work and REFUSED. i remembered that i have my fat free and no sugar added popsicles in the freezer. YAYYYYYY! so i ate a strawberry popsicle instead. it really took the edge off.





well thats it for me for now. later!

friday 5.30.08 / 11:30am (boot camp day 12 / breakfast)

today was tough because i didnt get much sleep last night. that made getting up for boot camp difficult...okay IMPOSSIBLE. i didnt get up!! so i tossed and turned and tossed and turned, finally falling asleep. THEN i had a horrible dream which woke me up. so does anyone agree that maybe i wasnt comfortable missing boot camp, even though i was a zombie? uhhh, yea.

thankfully sandi has an 8:30am class at a park even closer to my house...so i went. and i swear she had to be smoking something this morning because that workout was CRAZY!!!!!!!!! oh my god. but the good news is this - i hung in there. i actually saw today that i was able to complete exercises that i was not able to complete when i started. there were certain ab exercises where, in the beginning, i literally could not do ONE. well, today i did many. i was like a kid...inside i was screaming "im doing it mommy!!!" lol. THAT was inspiration in and of itself. and what if i hadnt gotten on up to go, i would have missed learning of my progress and more importantly, being able to use my very own testimony as my motivation to keep going.

afterward i went to wal mart, randalls and the bank...lolligagging as usual. i had to say to myself, "jordyn what are you doing!? you are tired...go home and eat breakfast so you can rest!" so i did...eventually.

BREAKFAST: scrambled eggs with spinach (cooked in olive oil and sea salt), 1/2 whole wheat english muffin, red cherries, pineapples, small bowl of special k cinnamon pecan cereal in silk vanilla soy milk and 4 oz. orange juice



this breakfast was absolutely YUMMMYYYY! i am quite full. so im off to shower and rest a bit before i do some beuatification for the friday night possibilities ;~)

have a great day!
