Jenny Craig: Week Fourteen Results

I guess I forgot to post here last week (week 13), but it's ok because I broke even and didn't lose or gain.

But this week I lost exactly 2 more pounds, bringing the total lost to exactly 25 pounds!

Jenny Craig: Week Eleven-ish Results

Back from Fiji, and after eight days there with no Jenny, and only being able to eat the delicious rich food of the Nakia resort, I gained 2.2 pounds.

It could have been way worse...probably was, actually, but I didn't get to my Jenny weigh-in until three days after we got back. So I probably lost a bit those three days since I was back on the diet.

Anyway, nothing to be upset or alarmed about. I'm back on track now, and very happy to be back in the States!

Jenny Craig: Week Ten Results

Ten week total: 23 pounds even.

Wow, that's an average of 2.3 pounds a week! Of course, the first week I lost 6.6 pounds, so that brings the average up :-)

Jenny Craig: Week Seven Results

So this past weekend I had to fly to New York for my aunt's funeral. It was a short notice trip and I decided to not worry about bringing my Jenny food or even finding a center in NY.

I tested myself to see if I could make good choices on my own. Since we were only going to be there for a few days, I thought it was safe.

Overall, I did well, except on the last day I just HAD to get a slice of NY pizza! IT...WAS...AWESOME!

Anyway, the bottom line: I still lost 1.8 pounds! That's a total of 18.6 so far!

Jenny Craig: Week Three Results

I really excpected less from this week, but luckily I still lost 2.2 pounds, bringing the grand total for 3 weeks to 11.4 pounds! Still a looong way to go, but this keeps me motivated!

I actually took a walk at work the other day...yes I actually did an activity! I need to keep that up!

The differences between the Windows 7 Taskbar and the OSX Dock


I recently installed Windows 7 Beta on an old laptop of mine (Pentium M, 1.69 GHz, 1GB RAM) to see how it runs on older hardware and basically test out the new OS from Redmond. I'm very impressed at the overall feel (it's quite snappy!) and seems to be running great.

The most noticeable change is the Taskbar. Here's an article from arstechnica.com that does a great job outlining the functionality of the new Windows 7 Taskbar, and even talks about how it's different than Apple's OSX Dock. Worth a read!

Back on Jenny...

Yes folks, I am now on Day 2 of Jenny Craig. A few years ago, before starting at Zazzle, I joined Jenny Craig and lost nearly 40 pounds. Then I kind of dropped the ball and slipped back into my old eating habits (Zazzle's wonderful kitchen didn't help!)

But now it's 2009. A fresh start. And I need to do this for me. For my health as well as for my self image. I turned 39 this month, and I don't want to go into my 40's being overweight and lacking energy.

I'm blogging this simply to make myself accountable. The more people I tell, the more I feel obligated to follow through.

I'll post some results when I have any ;-)
