Day Three

Posted on 6 September 2012 by jeanneji

So day 3 is here and I feel pretty exhausted overall. I got up and just had no energy. Today is my workout off-day. I decided to try and fix James’s PS3 but something wasn’t going right. I hooked mine up instead and it’s updating now but I feel bad that I couldn’t completely revive the system Sad smile

On other news. Matt told me he didn’t pass his Step 2 Sad smile Super frown on that one. I feel terrible and I wish there was something that I could do to help, but what can I do?

We’ll see how the rest of the night goes. I haven’t done a whole lot today, but it’s just one of those days.

General, Health

Day Two

Posted on 5 September 2012 by jeanneji

So it’s day two here at the house. I did a half hour on the elliptical, with no pre-set program. I watched The Price is Right during the session. Then they have a Gold’s Gym resistance band machine. Like many females, I’m not really upper body built. I worked my bi’s, tri’s, lats and delts. it’s a pretty cool machine. I watched Emeril’s Table during that one. I took my shower and took the time to groom myself kind of. Then I went and got Kenobi to come out from under Matt’s bed and sit outside with me for a little bit. I have no idea what to do with the dog since she’s got her electric fence collar on and we can’t go for a walk. I was about to grab a snack and when I came back she was eating! This dog is known for not eating so I said I wouldn’t eat and tempt her with people food if she was going to eat. She finished the bowl. I’m really excited.

Now it’s a little past noon and I have no idea what to do with myself. I was thinking about going for a walk or something outside but I don’t have a house key; I don’t want to leave the place unlocked either. Maybe there’s a key somewhere. I can’t get the garage door to work for me so that’s not something I want to rely on and then get trapped outside.

It’s so peaceful here. I have the house to myself today. I wish I had some project/crafting thing or just something I wanted to do. Matt thinks it’s flo’s fault for my tiredness, but I’m not so sure. I don’t recall her being like this. We’ll see in a day or so though.

Ps. Did I mention how bad the internet is out here? Ugh.

Day One

Posted on 4 September 2012 by jeanneji

So this is my first day up in Hazelton. Jim missed his alarm and missed his one class so I’m not home alone. I got to go on the elliptical this morning and did one of the calorie pre-sets. I will admit it was tougher than I was expecting, but I’m also recovering from illness so I’d like to think that I’m not completely ready for a full fledged workout. Excuses? You decide.

I’m trying to take it easy at the moment. The weather has been pretty crummy so I haven’t tried to leave the house. The dog keeps sleeping under Matt’s bed so she doesn’t want to hang out. I was thinking of maybe being computer productive. Work on my website maybe. I wanted to read up on my camera since I don’t know all that it can do.

The prozac is neutral right now. I’m just still feeling crappy overall and I may be a little paranoid of the itch that may or may not come about. Matt says it should have already happened, but that’s not usually how my body works. We’ll see. I have been so exhausted the past few days. No real desire to do anything, really. I’d really like a change in myself. Here’s to hoping.

Side note: Season Finale of Futurama 🙂

Emergency Month

Posted on 30 August 2012 by jeanneji

Here goes. It’s been a long time since I’ve updated (not as long as I’ve ever gone though). To update things where we left off, I have decided not to go back to school. I just started prozac a few days ago, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

There hasn’t been too much more beyond that. I keep feeling terrible about myself but I’m trying to change that. On a fun note, I had some extra lobster meat (yeah, more lobster than I knew what to do with) so I pulled up a recipe for Lobster Mac & Cheese.

This upcoming month, Matt will be living at home to do his emergency medicine rotation. He asked if I would go with him and spend the month up there. I couldn’t sleep last night but I was also thinking of all the things I could do. His brother will be at school and then he, his mother and step-dad will all be at work so I will have the place to myself. I would like to make this my opportunity to do something good for myself. They have an elliptical and resistance band machine in the basement, but they also live on a resort so there’s opportunity for me to go out for runs, biking and such. There’s a pool but I’m not a fan of the public, and you need a membership for the actual gym there. I am hoping that I can pretend someone reads this and upload my progress to help myself stay on track and get myself back. It’s a lot easier to imagine things than actually do them. Maybe I’ll read a book on the trail and take some pictures while I’m out there.

I decided against the humiliating option to take a picture of myself to see the before and after. I might just take the scale with me.

Speaking of reading, I’ve been on the reddit funnies a lot. It’s a good way to pass the time, honestly. There’s a mix of the immature witty sarcastic AND intelligent humor. Ok. So I need to start packing and find food. I’ll come back to update again later.

General, Love

Nidoran

Posted on 14 May 2012 by jeanneji

I’m sitting here watching NY Ink right now. Of course, I’ve only seen a few episodes, and these are it. Whatever. Lately Matt and I have been thinking about ink and such. He had a few things that he’s set on for himself if he could get home, but we had an idea. It’s a tough idea, but just think couples tattoo. He is firmly against name tattoos (I understand) but this is different. Pokemon tattoos. Hahah. It was a joke at first but it’s a really sweet idea. We each get a Nidoran, ♂ and ♀. I’ll get the male to represent him (plus it’s cuter) and he’ll get the female for me.

The line art is probably like what we’re leaning, but I like the other images too. I’m about to go vacuum my car (he has a dyson too, did I mention that?) and then hit the gym. I NEED to get back in better shape than where I let myself go. We’re going on vacation at the end of the week. I know I can’t drastically change by then, but I can start. Change is change. I need to get out of this habit of getting somewhere and then letting myself go. I mentioned it to Matt but I was going to the gym before I met him. Given, I stopped because of my rash, but I put on so much weight since then. I was in much better shape just 2 months ago. This is bullshit. My goal is less talk and more action. Stop being such a fatass, Jeanne.
