Jenny Craig — Day 11!

just about 1 pound plus loss per day!!!

 Seeing is believing!

I will admit that the last few days were a little tough on this big guy… however, add to it the veggie trays and the sugarless jello which happens to be ‘free food’… and it is definitely something I can manage!

The Jenny Craig gals are very cute here in San luis Obispo… they’re funny and I do like to make them laugh. I ask them if I will ever slip into a size 4 again…. they smile. My guess is that it’s going to take about another week plus for me to drop below the 300 mark… and that will be fun!

As i have blogged… both Karen and Laura have been on Jenny for 6 weeks tomorrow. Karen has lost 35 lbs and Laura has lost 20… so as a family we have dropped 70 lbs. However, if we each reach our goals… the total will be way into tripple digits!

The ladies are reaching their ‘half way points’ which means they’ll be dropping their calorie intake a bit… which is one reason I set my goal soooo low! Next week when Laura changes over to the lower diet… I will be eating twice as much as she is allowed… somehow that doesn’t seem fair… but I am glad that it is not the other way around!

15 pounds in 11 days… I can live with that.

Lost 7.5 lbs!

Katie Couric’s “Fair & Balanced” 2006 Weenie of the Year Award!

Katie Couric crying... is it real or is it Mabeline?Seems like I just wrote a blog about journalists and how they have trouble with the little things… like the ‘truth’… and ‘ethics.’

Well, I open my newspaper up (always a few days late as compared to the net) and what do I see? Oh, here’s an article about Katie Couric and how she has suffered at the hands of the ‘bloggers!’ She is sad that her daughter has to read such horrible stuff about her on the internet… boo hoo!

Well, Katie…. how many folks have you skewered — er, interviewed — on your way to the top? I know… I know… the only people you hurt…. “were all bad!” By the way, how do you people figure out who the ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’ are anyway?  Do you think we’re the ‘bad guys’ in Iraq? By ‘we’… I mean ‘Americans’.

Here’s a site that has a sampling of Katie’s ‘liberal bias’ year by year in video. It is amazing watching what you said and how you said it. Here’s a quote that shows how out of touch you are and makes me wonder if you have ever met a soldier… or one who was a woman?:

Couric: “…Tell me why you all decided to honor the American soldier?
Wondering why there’s no woman on the cover, too?”

Time’s Jim Kelly, pointing to cover: “This is a woman.”

Couric: “Oh, there you go, oh sorry….I couldn’t tell because of her helmet.”

Back to Katie. In fairness, I do have sympathy for her daughter having to read ‘stuff’ about her mom on the internet… and so much of it spot on… and accurate… so where’s the beef?  It’s not like the old days of Walter and Dan, when media folks could trash anyone and the ‘targets’ couldn’t fight back… or in this case blog back. Times are different.

Frankly, Katie, although I feel your pain… I just can’t muster any sympathy for you. And although you had quite a bunch of competition this year for the top award with John Kerry and Ted Turner continually stepping in it… you are our clear winner of the 2006 coveted ‘Weenie Award’!

2006 Weenie Award... the big 1/2 nicher

Another year is gone! Who will win in 2007?

Others have their say:

to feel bad or not feel bad for Katie?
Is Katie just the beginning of the end?
Katie at War… her story
Harvard loves Kate’s Legs… go figure
Kate wants to be bitten
