JeniTeran’s BodyBlog

I am embarrassed to admit that I have not worked out for the past two months. I lost motivation but I regained it when I saw my stomach getting bigger than I ever remember it being in my whole life. I guess I just needed to admit to myself that I am getting older and my metabolism is finally slowing down so I should be happy that I never NEEDED to work out, but my time has come to start busting my ass if I am going to have the body I want. I have been to the gym everyday since Tuesday this week so I am off to a good start, now I just have to keep it up

Haha I went to a crazy country hoedown/pig roast/wedding last night. It was def a different experience for me. It was actually in a legit barn! Oh and I won the limbo contest, hahaha!

When I looked at my son’s spelling words for the week they seemed a bit ironic. Here are a few of the words….
eat
clean
lean
dream
beach

Just thought I would share

I haven’t blogged in a while. Just got in from a killer tricep/chest workout. I can barely hold my arms up to type right now, I love it! I struggled hard w/ eating last week. I totally went crazy and ate complete crap all week. This week is better but it is hard! We have a cafe in my salon and there is always crazy good stuff cooking. If it wasn’t in my face it wouldn’t be so hard for me. I was proud of myself today though, there was a giant super moist rich chocolate brownie fresh out of the oven calling my name and I wanted it soooooooo bad. I ate an apple instead. It didn’t quite satisfy the craving but oh well. I just hope it doesn’t lead to the dreams about junk food that I had all last night. Sad, I know.

Everything has been going great the last few days. I’ve been having good lifting days and PR breaking cardio days. It’s so weird to me how some days ae great and other days suck. That’s ok though b/c when I have a crappy cardio day or just feel really weak on my lifting days I know a really good day will come soon to make up for it. Now I just need to find a protein shake that agrees with me

I don’t get it! I bought a 2 lb tub to try out and for 3 weeks I have been fine, then the last 3 times I drank a shake I had severe stomach pains for about 4 hours. I am not talking a little stomach ache here! I have a high pain tolerance so when I am in fetal position for that long I know something is seriously wrong.What really sucks is that I have 10lbs of it on it’s way to my house. Are the other types of protien a bit more gentle on the stomach? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Please let me know. I try to get alot of protien from foods but I def need some kind of supplement

So I am very new to this eating clean and I don’t really understand parts of it. I know what types of foods to eat and when I should eat them but I am not used to eating small portion sizes. I don’t want to get any smaller. I would like to be more muscular, but I don’t want to look too soft and round. I also don’t want to be super lean. Basically I want to be somewhat cut but not competition cut if that makes sense to anybody??? Anyway I have never had a problem with gaining weight so it’s not like I want a weight loss diet. Can I eat whatever size portions I want to feel satisfied since gaining too much weight has not been an issue for me or should I be eating small portions. I have been trying to eat small portions 5-6 times a day and I never feel full. I feel like I am starving all day. That makes me want to cheat even more with junk like chocolate and cookies and stuff since I am hungry and it is always in my face at work. I really have no idea about this stuff and would love any advice you wonderful ppl would be willing to share. Thanks

This week my diet has really sucked! I was doing good for about a week and a half so I decided to give myself a cheat day on Tuesday. Well, that was fine but I really felt like complete crap afterwards. Then Friday was my birthday and I was really craving some chinese food. I figured it would be ok since it was a special occasion and all. And then we have today. I go to eat at my dad’s every Sunday and I figured it wouldn’t be a problem since they are vegans and only eat organic whole foods. (They will usually cook us some kind of meat or chicken though to go w/ whatever else they are having) So I get there today and they didn’t have time to prepare anything b/c they had a busy day. They asked me and my husband what we wanted to order and I said "something healthy b/c I def can’t cheat today". Needless to say nobody could think of anything around that would be healthy so they decided on Pizza AND Chinese food. What the heck!!!! I am really trying to be good here! I have absolutely NO willpower though when the food is in my face and I can smell it. I have only been trying to eat better for about 3 weeks so it is still really hard for me. I am hoping my willpower gets stronger with time. I am getting a bit anxious b/c I am not seeing the results I want. I know the eating is  a major part of it so I WILL do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eww, I feel like crap. I made today my cheat day for eating b/c I haven’t cheated for a week and a half so I figured I deserved it. I also didn’t go to the gym b/c I was just too tired when I got out of work. Now I feel like a lazy piece of lard . Can’t wait to get back too the gym tomorrow and kick my own butt!!!!

Ok so I usually try to stay away from the scale b/c I don’t really care about what I weigh but I am trying to gain some muscle here. So I have noticed my butt slowly getting smaller over the last week or so (also not good, I don’t want a smaller butt, I just want it to be tighter and more muscular/ not so saggy) so I am like what the heck I want to get bigger, and I am shrinking! I am lifting heavy and I am eating plenty of protein but I cut out all the crap from my diet about 2 weeks ago (and boy did I eat ALOT of crap!) So i am guessing that this is the reason for the shrinking. I guess I am just gonna keep pumping away and hope that my muscles get big enough to make up for the weight loss
Oh ya and you know what else sucks…….. I somehow deleted all the songs on my ipod before I got to the gym today. That really sucks since my favorite cardio machine is the only one in the gym w/o a tv, hahaha!
