2012-01-05, Week 3, Weekly Progress Photos


Progress Photos 2012-01-05 ©2012Yee 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


2012-01-05-Ticker ©20122012-01-05-Table ©2012The 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!


Iz mine!  ©2012Earlier 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!

2011-12-29, Week 2, Weekly Progress Photos


Progress Photos 2011-12-29 ©2012This past week was more mental than physical, so the numbers were down just a tiny bit.  There is no visible change in the photos, yet!  🙂

On a practical note, I think I’ll change hats each week, just to keep it interesting and so that the photos don’t look too much alike.  Hmmm… I wonder how many hats I have?  [wicked grin].  Oh my!  This could be FUN!

I put a lot of mental effort into answering the questions “What is health?“ and  “What does health mean to me and how does my picture of health fit in with the HAES movement?”  Read the two posts for more info.
