The Chronicles of Jessi

A Day in the Life of Dieting...

My Name

My name is Jessica, but only my mother is aloud to call me that. You can call me Jessi. I'm 23 years old, mother of a happy-go-lucky two year old little girl, named Amelie, and a wife of a wonderful and handsome man named Bo.

My Blog

This is my diet blog. I've tried others before and have failed. I have to keep track of what I have eaten and this is my way of doing it. Feel free to comment and make suggestions.

My Goal

My long term goal is to lose 150 pounds. Yes, I am aware that is a lot, but I have to lose a lot too. I have had many problems due to being overweight including: PCOS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and a few others left to name.

My Life

I was born and raised in Panama City, FL. I've been here all my life. I graduated from A. Crawford Mosley High School in 2003. I got married May 21, 2005 and had my first child November 26, 2005. Today, I am a stay at home mother and an army wife, trying to get by day to day as normal as possible. Which, if you know me, you know how hard that can be! I love my family, my friends, and my life. There are just a few changed I want to make to it, starting with my weight.

My Future, My Dreams.

I grew up in ballet class. I loved it so much. Then, there came a time in middle school that I had to give up the thing I loved to make the grade. I quit ballet and from there on, my life became harder. I gained weight, a lot of weight. Now, a high school graduate of five years, my dream is to lose that weight and get back into ballet and continue my dreams. I've always wanted to be a prima ballerina, but even if I cannot achieve that dream, I want ballet to be involved in my future.

Day 12

Ate:
1 grilled chicken salad from McDonald's w/Caesar dressing

Drank:
2 1/4 cups of smoothie (1 cup of 2% milk, 1 cup tart cherries, 1 banana, 3 ice cubes)
.5 cup of diet lemonade
1 bottle Kellogg's Protein Water (strawberry kiwi)
Lots of water

Exercise:
N/A

Other:
1.5 hrs cleaning out my car

Okay, so here is what happened. I missed the Total Body Fusion class yesterday morning because I had to go to my Stampin' Up Club meeting. So, since I knew the childcare closed at 1pm, I got a sitter. I drove all the way over to the gym, go up to the front door to see that they closed at 2pm. It was 2:05pm. The paper I had said they were open until 6pm, but well, apparently the paper was wrong! Grr! I was so mad! So, since I had a sitter, I went and cleaned my car out. It really needed it anyway. I said to myself, "Well, I guess I will just do some working out tonight while Amelie is asleep." But I ended up going to my Mom's and we went to Wal-Mart and I didn't get home until about 9pm and I updated this blogger because if I went any longer not posting, I would have forgotten what I did. Then I laid down with Amelie and fell asleep. Ugh. I have church this morning, but I really plan on getting some heavy house work done today. I can't make it to the gym because I will have Myleigh for the hours they are open today. So I am going to try my hardest to workout during nap and/or while Amelie is asleep tonight. Ugh. BTW, yesterday was the first day I missed the gym in 11 days. Poo.
