2010-04-02, Weekly Stats


Well, this week was a good one. I’m still on track to meeting my goals.

Weight loss was as expected. Fat Loss didn’t drop as much as in past weeks but I’m still “on target.”

The Week in Review or… “Ya gotta have a bag-o-tricks”


Iz Magic! ©2011For the first trick of the evening:  Being Strong without even trying…

I have to share a “moment” from this week from where I work  I’m surrounded by a group of folks who like to bring in food and leave it on the break room table for everyone.

This is sweet and nice and generous, and it does foster a sense of community at the workplace, HOWEVER, for me those little offerings of friendship are sneak attacks!  They are land mines on the way to a healthy me!  They are evil incarnate!  Basically they kinda suck eggs.

Some More Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks

Ok, here’s a couple more tips and tricks that have helped me so far.  Check out my earlier tips by clicking on “Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks” under the “Diet and Fitness Drama” up in the header at the top of this page.

Place Setting - Nice Dishes (CC)

Buy some nice dishes. The Jenny Craig entrées are designed to be easily and quickly microwaved, part of the reason that I like the program so much.  But once the nuking is done, they are not the most attractive things to eat out of.   So, buy some nice plates, bowls, forks, knives and spoons.

You don’t have to spend a lot.  I found mine at the Goodwill store.  Once you get the Jenny Craig entrée on the plate alongside your veggies and/or salad in the dishes the visual effect is quite nice.  I’m no gourmet and I’m certainly no psychologist, but when I see the food on a nice plate it does something positive in my brain.

Food Storage Containers (CC)

Buy some storage containers. 

For a single guy like me, they are absolutely necessary to manage leftovers and to use when packing my lunch.
