Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Forty

Dang, up 1.2. Trying to reach a total of 50 pounds lost is proving to be a bit more difficult than I thought. About 3 pounds away from that goal. And Halloween certainly won't help ;-)

Tracks and Horizons: 26 Countries on a Motorcycle

From 1964 to 1966, Carlos Caggiani travelled to 26 countries on a 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle with hardly a penny to his name. At 24 years of age, he embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

He spent time with everyone from poor natives in the Andes mountains, to rich families in the United States. He crossed rivers without bridges, suffered famine, intense heat and cold, guided his motorcycle through rain and snow storms, rode on dirt and cobblestone roads, was chased by the FBI, was shot at in Bolivia during a revolutionary war, and had a serious accident due to a mechanical failure in Panama that left him hospitalized for 17 days.

The experiences in this book demonstrate a human being's tenacity and triumph in the face of adversity, and shows that anything is possible. There is always something more just beyond the horizon...and as the horizon expands, our limits disappear.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Seven

Up 1.2 after the BBQ. I now have a new incentive...reach a total of 50 pounds lost by Thanksgiving. I'm about 5 pounds away from reaching that milestone so I need to just do it. Five pounds in nine weeks should be easy, right?

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Six

Woo hoo! Down 2.4 pounds this week! Probably because I've been fighting a cold and my apetite has been slightly lower than normal. But still, I'll take it :-)

Of course Friday is our company picnic...Hawaiian BBQ. Gulp.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Five

Up 0.6 pounds last week. But I go in tonight for this week's weigh in and I think i did ok. We'll see!

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Four

Broke even...0 pounds lost. Hey, no gain though :-)

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Three

Down 0.4. Hey, at least it's down :-)

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Two

Down 1.4 pounds this week. Posting this late (my next weigh in is tonight) so I'll have more to post real soon :-)

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty One

Up 3.4 pounds this week due to all the festivities last week :-)

And with chili night last night, things are looking iffy for my next weigh in. Need to get on the treadmill.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty

Down 0.6 pounds last week :-)

But this past week has been...shall we say...challenging. A work offsite BBQ, and a boat trip that included drinking and donuts. Sigh. It was yummy and fun but I know I'll be paying for it at my weigh in tonight.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Twenty Nine

Well, up another 0.6lbs. Have to try to stop this trend...the chili cookoff at work didn't help, but at least I won second place! Ok...focus....

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Twenty Seven and Twenty Eight

My brother and his family were in town last week so I skipped Jenny...and ate way too much. I did go today, however, and I was only up 0.6 lbs, which frankly surprises me. I was expecting a much higher gain. Hopefully it won't show up next week!

Anyway, back on track now.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Twenty Six

Woo hoo! Down 3.2 pounds this week! Now that's more like it! Total = 47.2 down :-)

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Twenty Five

Bah. Up 1.6 pounds this week. Probably due to making pizzas, having some cake...and eating it too :-)

Time to buckle down again.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Twenty Four

Last week I was down 0.2 pounds. This week I was up 0.2 pounds. We'll call it a draw.
