Jessi's Journey

Hello there! I'm trying to incrementally lose weight. SparkPeople is the first (and only) site in a long time that's actually had me come back- whether its for the articles, or the message boards, or just the calorie tracker... I can't stay away!

I mean, I've had my downtimes, when I'd only pop in maybe once a week.. but now, I'm back, checking in daily.

Currently, I'm on my- I can't even count- time re-starting. I've been at 180 for the past several months, with ...
Hello there! I'm trying to incrementally lose weight. SparkPeople is the first (and only) site in a long time that's actually had me come back- whether its for the articles, or the message boards, or just the calorie tracker... I can't stay away!

I mean, I've had my downtimes, when I'd only pop in maybe once a week.. but now, I'm back, checking in daily.

Currently, I'm on my- I can't even count- time re-starting. I've been at 180 for the past several months, with slight fluctuations up or down, and I'm CRAVING seeing 170 and less!



Behind the Name:
I like to role-play a lot, and the name Shinako is that of a character of mine.. a high spirited, high energy young woman whose got a strong outlook on life.



Goals:
I would eventually like to end back up to my pre-pregnancy weight of 140lbs. (That was over 10 years ago!) Ultimately, I'd like to end up somewhere in the range between 110 and 130. My short-term goal is 160lbs for now, though.




Non-Weight Goals:

- Resize, or get a sizer, for my rings because they're so small!

- Fit into the pants I bought when I first got pregnant with my son, specifically because "they were loose" at the time.

- Fit into lingerie I never thought I could fit into! (2013 Update: It wraps around, but still doesn't snap closed completely- yet!)

- When looking at my body in a mirror- when just wearing my underclothes- I would like to be able to see the side of my underwear NOT be hidden beneath a roll of fat at my hip.

- Run/jog a full 5K!

Time allowing- My random draw program... I have written down exercises on index cards, Cardio or Strength (or both), and follow at least one section of the card.

I also incorporate exercise into chores like laundry and dishes.

I'm also going to start incorporating at least one Freggie into all of my meals, beyond the sauces!

In addition to that:
- I weigh in every Wednesday... IN MY CLOTHES!

- I try to take measurements at every 10lb milestone.

Personal Information:
I live in the Space Coast of Florida with my wonderful husband and imaginative son. I spend a lot of time at home, but I do love getting out for walks around the neighborhood as well!

Yes, I am still in Palm Bay, moved a mile from where I was living.

Was not happy and my lease was up, so I moved to a Condo. I really
like it. It's a bit more $'s so I have to watch my spending, not easy
with things constantly going up.

But managing. I think I can do it for a year, then see how it goes.

Thanks for asking.

How is your son and hubby doing? Are you still in Rockledge?

How cool that you used to be on the BLC Golden Phoenix team! Too bad we weren't on it at the same time. I am continuing on for the next round, which starts in early June. Right now we are having a little break challenge, for those of us that still want to be active. Not nearly as intense though!
Bummer about the treadmill at the gym!
