2012-01-05, Week 3, Weekly Progress Photos
Yee Haw! As you can see in the photo, this week’s hat is a Cowboy Hat in honor of my recent trip to the UCWDC Country Dance World Championships.
Each week I’ll wear a different hat just to keep it interesting and so that the photos don’t look too much alike. I have quite a few hats so it should be a while before I repeat. [grin]. Oh my! This could be FUN!

2012-01-05, Weekly Stats — Week 3
The main thing this week was that I had a trip out of town to go to the UCWDC World Championships (Worlds XX) Because of that, I was not able to follow the Jenny Menu for the whole week. I tried to make sure I chose the healthiest choices when eating at the event, but, I pretty much didn’t worry about not drinking Diet Coke.
All in all the numbers are not that bad. Weight is headed down. Inches are headed down. Body Fat is headed slightly up / staying level. But as soon as I kick in the exercise component, which starts this week, then the body fat numbers will drop as well.
All in all, we’ll chalk this one up as a “win”.
See ya on the dance floor!

It’s NOT “just” a Diet Coke!
Earlier this week, I was out running a lot errands: dropping off clothes at the cleaners, picking up my mail from my post office box, swinging by Walgreens for some fabric stain remover prewash spray gunk, filling up the truck with gas. You know the drill, doing a whole bunch of the minutia of life.
I had just finished at Jenny Craig, where I weighed 283.6 lbs, a loss of 1.6 lbs from the week before!
Woo Hoo! Happy dance! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! [doing that circle thing with hands out in front of me]
But I digress…
I had my week’s Jenny Craig food in my truck and was headed North on Central Drive. While I was basking in the good feelings from the weigh-in, I was mentally running down the list of what was next “to do.” Then…
[cue the foreboding music!]
There IT was!

Revel and Rejoice in the Little Things…at 4am Ssssnnnzzzz
Ok, confession time, I feel awful right now. As in this second.
Right this very minute!
Why do I suddenly feel like I’m on the set of Mame and everybody is about to break into a round of “We need a little Christmas?” Hmmm….
But I digress…
I didn’t sleep very well last night at all. I went to bed on time, 11:30pm and my alarm was set for 6:30am. (Allow me to insert a momentary aside…after much thought and evaluation of my daily routine and weekly work schedule, I decided that if I wanted to be consistent in when I go to bed and get up, that (1) 7 hours of sleep is the most that I can count on as a consistent routine thing; and (2) I forget what two was. I need more coffee.)
But I digress…

Rejoice and Revel for it has been a good week!
Let the reveling and rejoicing begin! 🙂 Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh! (doing a chair dance and the circle your fists in the air thingie!)
Ok, ok, ’nuff silliness already! This is serious stuff here! 😉 I’m following my own advice and rejoicing in the little things. Because those little things eventually add up and “Voila you have met your goal!”
This has been a good week! And I’ll get to check off some of the things on my “Check List“. So in no particular order, let’s get on to the recap.
The switch has been flipped…
The gauntlet has been thrown, the tide has turned, the balance has shifted, midnight has past, and the dawn has begun; a lot of what I’ve been doing over the past month, but especially this past week is happening in my brain rather than in the “real” world.
In other words: I’ve been “thinking” a lot. And it hurtz! Owie! I needz somebodies to kiss itz and makes itz bettersz. (Preferably some hunky guy in a speedo–Yummy!) *AHEM* But I digress… 😉 Back to the topic at hand…
It boils down to this: (1) Being healthy is now my top priority and (2) creating positive momentum is vital to working on that priority.
My health and fitness, or current lack thereof, affects everything in my life. EVERYTHING. It seems simple doesn’t it and very rational to make the thing that affects everything else in your life your top priority? Sounds good to me! Sadly, in life, the things that seems conceptually simple are actually incredibly complex and difficult to execute.
