First Goal Met!

Today, I achieved my first weight loss goal – 10 pounds gone!  The food in this picture weighs 10 pounds.  That’s how much I’ve lost.

Losing 10 pounds is no easy feat, but particularly not around the holidays.  I cheated a lot, and I didn’t exercise at all, so this is pretty good.

My next goal is to lose another 10 pounds the second month.  I’m going to start incorporating exercise today.  I’ll use a combination of things, but a big part of it will be my Wii Fit.  I like Wii Fit running.

Jenny Craig is by far the best diet I’ve ever been on.

It’s Time To Stop Just Talking About It

I’ve lost 8 pounds in 12 days on Jenny Craig.  I guess I really should start to think about some exercise.  I really don’t feel like it.  Maybe some hula hooping on my Wii Fit, a few dumbbells.  Tomorrow, maybe I’ll drive by the gym.  Tuesday, I might wave as I drive past.  It’s not like me to feel so unmotivated in the exercise department, but I really just don’t want to.

Tomorrow afternoon I have a job interview.  I am so happy I’ll be working from home again.  I’m so sick of people constantly nagging, harrassing, and micromanaging.  That’s the sign of an immature, insecure manager with not enough to do.

Freedom From The Pursuit Of Happiness

I quit my job this week.  I don’t think I’ve ever quit a job without having already snagged another one.  There’s just something about being worked past the point of exhaustion for six months, harrassed, intimidated, and insulted that makes you do things you wouldn’t normally do.

On the upside…I have an interview Monday and one Tuesday.  Whoever hires me will be gaining a very experienced and top-notch employee who always gives more than she gets in return.  Too bad, so sad for those who failed to see my value and to hear me when I expressed that I was fatigued and needed a couple of vacation days.  I’ve never heard of employers who send you vast chore lists to do the morning of your first vacation day and then follows them up with endless e-mails of “Are you done yet?”  Ah well…that’s in my past…onwards and upwards.

Today is my eleventh day of Jenny Craig, and so far I have lost 7-3/4 pounds.  I know, right… Awesome!!!!  My consultant said this week “we’re going to talk about exercise”.  I can do that…talk about exercise, I mean.  I’ve already prepared items to talk about:

1.  Talk about the tennis courts across the street from our house.

2.  Talk about the Wii Fit I have downstairs…all hooked up and everything.

3.  Talk about the gym I belong to…and how I can go there and watch people exercise.

Yep…I’m all ready to talk about exercise.

The Jenny Craig food is really good.  I especially like the pasta fagioli and the lasagna.

Still Hanging With Jenny Craig

Today brings me to the end of my first week of Jenny Craig, and so far I’ve lost 6-1/2 pounds.  No too shabby for a week of no cooking, no planning, no thinking about food – just heating and eating.  The food is really good.  I’m just 3-1/2 pounds away from my first goal of 10 pounds.  I was thinking it would take a month to get there, but maybe not.

The only thing I would do differently is order the food only a week at a time.  I don’t have that much freezer space.
