Jenny Craig Before and After

look how I have changed on the outside
I have come to believe that the human condition has always experienced feast and famine, which is why most of us are really challenged when it comes to staying on any sort of diet.

In the course of humans living on this planet, a steady food supply has been problematical. History is resplendant with stories of famine among the ancient Egyptians and 7 years of feast followed by 7 years of famine is a story told in every Sunday School. We remember our ‘catchup soup’ college days. Expanding and contracting our waistline is what we naturally do. Isn’t that why they invented elastic waistbands?

Until Now.

“Maintaining” a weight loss isn’t that big a deal, IF you keep on top of it and ‘plan’ the times you stray. The holidays are approaching and great — as opposed to just ‘good food’ — will be the rule at our home for those special meals. The key is that all of the other meals will be portioned controlled.New Commercial

Interestingly enough, I recieved an email with a link to the New Jenny Craig Commercial to be launched next week… very nice… I think it works…. and hopefully it will help Vallerie and Kristie welcome more deserving men in their lives.

I still have about 4 more lbs to my goal.

Jenny Craig SECRETS now told!

A wonderful

Now does this really look like “DIET” food?

It really really doesn’t look like diet food when I add a large serving of cooked French Beans, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, pearl onions all dowsed with “Susie Q” brand seasoning!

Thanks to  “Mama Laura”  we are experiencing some of the ‘Meals-on-our-own” from the  Jenny Craig Cookbook … wonderful.

We do plan ‘something special’ for our 35th Wedding anniversary on Wednesday… one of Laura’s family favorites of her youth… a Chicken Pot Pie but with a “South African Dutch-Malay” flavor. It’s called ‘Hoender Pastei’ down there… but it looks delicious. Here’s a sneak peek…

Hoender Pastei... or by any name... delicious!

It takes a lot to make a Hoender Pastei!

Laura’s baking her wonderful Amarula Carrot Cake, too!

Which University to Attend? Which to Avoid?

Hero of the Oppressed

 

Selecting the university to attend now-a-days is a function of many factors:  academic reputation, social experience and the ever present “which is best for my career”? However, many students enter their university experience only to find themselves marginalized and the subject of unwanted administrative and faculty harassment. This is something every parent… and student should consider. Are you really getting what you are paying for?

In a few days , the premier of  “Indoctrinate U”  will appear in Washington, D.C. and I only wish I could attend… but I will in spirit.

Here’s one short review on the prequel:

“For those who haven’t been on college campuses recently, Maloney’s documentary is eye opening.”
– American Enterprise, On Brainwashing 201

“Non-left academics are harassed for their political views. Students who show a conservative bent are threatened… Campuses are supposed to be marketplaces of ideas where issues stand and fall on their merits. Brainwashing 201 [the short-form precursor to Indoctrinate U] demonstrates effectively that this is now far from the case.”

SoOOooo…

“Mark your calendars for the evening of Friday, September 28th, when
Indoctrinate U will make its public debut at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Tickets are now on sale for the event,
which is organized by
the
American Film Renaissance.

Tickets are also available
for the after-party to take place across
the street at 600 Restaurant in the
infamous Watergate Hotel.”

Good Luck, Evan!

PS. Part of what’s wrong with many universities today is many have forgotten about their true mission and who they serve. Was it Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in which Evan Maloney was told by some University sycophant that he had not been ‘granted an audience’ with ‘allegedly’ the aging Cal Poly President &  “Sheldon Awardee”  Warren Baker?

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!

Happy Birthday... don't worry I am not buying you a cat!Well, for those of you who are sitting around waiting for some inspiration to tap you on the shoulder to tell you what to buy for your wife’s birthday… do something subtle … like asking, ” what do you want for your birthday?” This works every time!

Fortunately, if you can’t figure out exactly what to buy… well… usually ‘expensive’ creates the most forgiveness.

Actually, as rare as it seems, I actually have found something… in the meantime,

“Happy Birthday, Laura”

Love,

Roger

PS. Karla has a wonderfully sweet greeting for you too!
Happy Birthday Greetings from Karla!
