Snow, Chicken, Fish, and Exercise

Jen and her Life-Size Snowman

Day two of being snowed in the house.  Atlanta got over 6 inches Sunday night and schools and businesses have been closed for the past two days.  I am considering it extra time to workout,  concentrate on my eating, and drop as much weight as possible.  I am now on day four of eating no carbs, chicken, fish, eggs, fruits, and vegetables.  I am also on day four of burning 1000 calories on my NordicTrack Incline Trainer X7i treadmill.  This is typically six miles and an hour 15 minutes.  Unfortunately, I have a foot injury and was only able to burn 750 calories today.  Anyone out there know why I would be having intense foot pain on the side of my foot?  I’m thinking my running shoes are too tight.  I can’t wait for this competition to end so that I don’t have to obsess over eating and exercise.  I would like to be able to just count Weight Watchers Points Plus points and exercise the “normal” 45 minutes a day.  In the end, it will hopefully all be worth it if I can walk away with $1900 in my pocket.  I will let you know on Saturday!  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

About

My name is Jennifer, I’m 33 and I currently live in a suburb outside of Atlanta. I live with my husband, Jason and Shi-tzu, Maggie. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
My full time job is teaching elementary school. My part time job is private tutoring after school for grades K-6. I have been on my weight loss journey my entire life but just began to take it seriously two years ago when I decided it was time to start a family. I didn’t want to be one of those people who others look and and say, “Is she pregnant or just really fat?” At the rate I was going, that question would certainly be asked. So, two years ago I joined Weight Watchers. Now, closing in on losing 100 pounds, my life is healthier and I am happier. Now…bring on the baby!
My blog is here for you to be inspired, learn something new, and hear all about all new products I try. Join me on this weight loss journey as I go through ups and downs, good and bad, and continue to take it one day at a time!

    I’m new to your sight. What’s this competition? Sounds drastic to me. I love the new WW Points Plus program! Thanks for your encouragement and good luck on the competition whatever it is!
