Jenny Craig At Goal!!!!

Jenny Craig Goal!!!!!
Well…. my goal weight at Jenny Craig was 229 and I weighed in today at 229.8. I am down 90.8 lbs. I fit comfortably into a size 30 jeans and at 6’4″ some folks actually call me ‘thin’. This is a word I have never heard. It’s fun to search and see what other things weigh 90 lbs!

I have been slowing my ‘decent’ in weight loss by organizing ‘events’ on the weekends. This weekend it is  ‘Paella’  once again and home made Cherry Pie!

Laura’s been on ‘maintenance’ for 7 weeks, Karen’s still working down to her goal… and Kristin is doing well, too!

Jenny Craig & Event Planning

It's a whole new world being thin

Part of losing weight is how good you feel. Everyone tells you this, but when you actually get there, you discover to your amazement that it is actually true! You feel great!

I weigh myself only once a week, and if the results are there ( meaning progress to the goal weight which is now only 2 lbs away)… then I plan an event.  Karen  being a PR guru knows all about ‘event planning.’

My events are simple meals. Smoorvis (South African) and Fried Catfish & Hush Puppies  ( Huck Finns in Tennessee)  are two fun meals I have on the horizon. Huck Finns will be easy as they supply everything… but the catfish.

As Forest Mars Sr. was fond of saying, ‘there has to be a prize for playing this game.’ And in the game of  Jenny Craig  it is ‘event planning.’

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.

Thank you Jenny Craig!

Well… I am a few pounds away from my goal weight… which I am thinking about lowering a tad. Although I have lost over 88 lbs… here are a few things that weigh over 80 lbs… for perspective.

Supermodel weighs only 80 lbs?

Pictured above weigh 80-88 lbs: Super Model, Martial Artists, emperor Penguin and big ol’ Tunas!

Thank you  Jenny Craig!

the Secret of Dieting is BUTTER

How I make my diet really work!

Almost every person who diets will tell you the same old lie: don’t make food your reward. Well, that is sort of true. You can’t live to eat, but let’s remind ourselves that one of the REAL reasons we got as big as we did in the first place is because we do enjoy great food.

So what can anyone do faced with two opposing realities: the joy of wonderful food and the need to lose weight. I call it ‘event planning.’ Choose a few spots during the year on which your plan to escape from the rigors of your diet. Maybe this is your birthday, thanksgiving and a few others spread out over the months. On these occasions plan for something delightful on your special days. Maybe a  Seafood Gumbo,  Bobotie ( Lamb Casserole) ,  Hoender Pastei (chicken pot pie) , add a great wine followed by a special dessert and you have the beginnings of a memorable event.

Having a few events along the way helps support the rigors of your diet.

Good Luck,
