Paradigm Shift — “There is no spoon”
I said something remarkable yesterday and it wasn’t until about five minutes later that I realized the import and of what I had said:
When I’ve lost the weight…
Just so there’s no misunderstanding, and because I can never say something in 10 words when a 100 will do, I need to elaborate and explain. The importance of this phrase lies in that there are no qualifiers. It is a simple declarative statement that says what will happen. The path from A to Z is assured and will occur:
When the rain stops…
When winter is over…
When the sun comes up…
When Jupiter appears in the sky close to the full moon…
When Mars appears to move backwards in its orbit…
Or on a more human level… Read the rest of this entry

Seismic Event Recorded in North Texas…
![Seismograph [CC]](https://txcowboydancer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/seismograph.png?w=236&h=178 "Seismograph [CC]")
… the tremor was felt throughout the blog-o-sphere. One injury reported.
One good thing which blogging about my efforts to get into shape does is that it caters to my inner actor/performer. As I move step by step forward on my journey toward fitness. I get to share my successes and revel in the thunderous applause [cue canned applause soundtrack] 😉
The bad part about blogging and sharing my experiences with the whole world, is that when I mess up, well, the whole world knows. Or at least the dozen or so people who are actually reading this blog knows when I fall from grace.
Yes, it is true. I fell off the fitness wagon. The large bang heard throughout the North Texas area and ensuing earth tremor was not the cannons announcing the opening of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, it was me. Hitting the ground. T-H-U-D! Falling from grace. Hitting the gutter. Succumbing to temptation. Crossing over the dark side. I transgressed. I frolicked with chocolate! I was a baaaaaaaaaddd cowboy. *sigh*

2012-01-19, Weekly Stats — Week 5
Just a very quick recap of the week. Because I’m tired and I need to get to bed. Six am is going to come early tomorrow morning. 🙂
Still not completely back on Jenny Craig because of vacation and trips and this and that. But on the other hand, I’ve been making smarter choices and the numbers are headed the right way. I’ll try to do a week’s summary tomorrow.
See ya on the dance floor! (after I’ve had some sleep!)

New Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks
Ok, here’s a couple more tips and tricks that have helped me so far.
You can see all my “Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks” either by clicking on it in the “Diet & Fitness Drama” menu up above or by clicking this link: “Jenny Craig Tips and Tricks Archive”
Buy a Magnifying Glass
The Jenny Craig entrées are designed to be easily and quickly microwaved, part of the reason that I like the program so much. But, being a single guy who does not like to cook or keep any cooking related information in his brain, I can NEVER remember how long a certain entrée needs to be stuck in the nuker before it is ready to eat.
So, I have to read the box. Which, sadly, is a problem for guys like me who are now in their mid mumble–mumble and fast approaching mumble. 😉

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!
