A Man’s Waistline(s)
Once upon a time, I used to have a 28″ waist. Of course that was waaaaaaaay back in my high school days. Now my waistline is considerably larger than 28″ inches. In fact I refuse to divulge it until I’ve lost a few of those inches! So there!
But since we’re talking about waist lines, it is not widely known, but there are actually three waist lines on a man who is out of shape…
Waistline No. 1 — Pants size
This is the waist size of the pants which a man wears. However, as anyone who has ever bought pants for their husband, boyfriend or significant other knows, the inches listed on the label bear no relation to what the man’s actual waist size may be, especially if he has *ahem* a “well rounded figure.”
Indeed if he suffers from Dunlap’s Disease, where his belly dun lapped over his pants, the pants size may be significantly smaller than his actual waist.
Waistline No. 2 — The Lovehandles

Update…the first week on Jenny Craig
I went by the Jenny Craig Center and got next weeks food. Tomorrow I’ll go by Whole Foods and get the fruits and veggies for next week. I do need to go and get some Milk and Cottage Cheese today though.
My weigh in at the Jenny Craig Center was good. I started at 270 lbs and in five days I’ve lost 2.4 lbs putting me at 267.6 lbs. Yay me!!! Woo Hoo! Doing a happy dance!
Of course weigh ins at the JC center are with my clothes on so there will be some variance due to that because sometimes I’ll be wearing work clothes and sometimes I’ll be wearing lighter work out clothes.
My weekly weigh in will be on Sunday. I’m optimistic that I will meet my goal of 266 lbs and 41.10% body fat for next week.
At home, my weekly weigh in is without clothes. I weigh in once in the morning and once in the evening and then average the two numbers. For Body Fat, I average four measurements: one am and one pm using the Tanita scale and one am and one pm using the the Omron Fat Loss Monitor.
See ya on the dance floor!

Day Six on Jenny Craig
I left my “Jenny Craig menu” at work yesterday so last night and this morning I have had to wing it, guessing as to what is next on the menu. (Note… I later found out that I could log onto the Jenny Craig website and download a menu)
Last night I had the Mac and cheese, two cups of veggies and later when I got hungry, I had a sandwich.
About that sandwich…. 🙂 I’m on a 2,000 calorie a day menu plan, which means that in addition to all the items on the “menu” I get an extra sandwich and a cup of milk a day. The sandwich is two slices of bread, 1oz of either meat or cheese and 1 tsp of mayo, spread very VERY VERY thin across the two pieces of bread. But on most days, I don’t eat the sandwich. I’m simply not hungry.
Also, with dinner every night, at least so far.there is a “soupitizer” which is 1 cup of a broth based soup. Most nights I don’t eat that either. Again, simply because I’m not *that* hungry.
I’m running late this morning. (like that is any different from any other morning?) So this has got to be short…. uhmmm… too late! No pun intended. Long story short, uhmmmm… too late. Anyway…. I had scheduled Monday as my check in but realized that I need to do grocery shopping on Sunday and if I do it on Monday, then I’ll have used all my food and I won’t have any for Monday. So… I’m moving my weekly check-in to today. In 1 hour. Which means I need to get in the shower now!
See ya on the dance floor!

Day Five on Jenny Craig
Ok, this morning I had my first “oops” with Jenny Craig.
The French Toast didn’t turn out right. Either my microwave is waaaaaay off, the directions on the box were wrong, or I wasn’t awake enough to understand the instructions. *sigh*
No matter what the cause, the result was a barely edible breakfast. The toast ended up being very dry and the “fruit cup” was a melted mass…literally. The smaller plastic cup was completely melted. I couldn’t tell where the cup ended and the fruit began. I’ll have to be more careful next time I have the French Toast. I’m pretty sure I was supposed to take the fruit cup out before nuking the toast. And I’ll have to check the Toast as it is cooking and take it out early so that it isn’t hard. The “Light Syrup” though that I put on the toast was very tasty. Yummy. 🙂
I go back to work today after two days out with a fever / cold. I still feel achy today but I’m going in anyway. This morning’s blog entry is going to be short because I still have to get my “lunch” together and gather clothes to drop off at the cleaners on the way to work.
The good news is that I’m on track to meet this weeks weight and Body Fat Goals. Yay Me!
See ya on the dance floor!
