Um…. okay…. wow….

So I’ll admit that I’m part of that online dating world hoping to somehow find a match.  I did, after all, meet my ex-husband in an online chat room, which oddly enough hasn’t deterred me from diving in again.  But I’m at the point where I’m about ready to throw in the towel.  Today a guy sends me a message asking me if I would do something really gross to a guy for a lot of money and it’s not sexual.  I play along and ask what and he says to sneeze in his mouth for $5000!!!  Is the world going crazy or is it just me!?!  I sad no, by the way…

Two weeks in…

Well, after two weeks on Jenny Craig, I am down about 3.5 pounds. While that’s not much, it’s a start and it’s move in the right directions. I know I need to somehow fit in some more exercise, but when I’m gone from 7 in the morning until 7 or 8 in the evening, it’s hard to be motivated to do much more than relax when you get home!
Last week I did eat out a few times, so hopefully with less planned meals out this week I’ll have better results when I weigh in next week.

Well, that was…

rather disappointing…  Weighed in yesterday and only down 1.5 pounds after a week on Jenny Craig.  I was hoping for two and my scale at home apparently has no problems lying to me because it said I was down 4!  Here’s to a better week of weight loss!

quite possibly the funniest comment ever from my Algebra II students…  I was teaching my students to simplify radical expressions.  They were finding it a bit confusing so I put it into their terms:  You have one piece of junk plus 3 pieces of junk – How much junk do you have?  They all shout 4 and I’m in heaven – they get it!  So a few more examples and the “junk” looks messier so it becomes crap.  They are still with me and totally getting it.  So then we get to a problem where the radical expressions first need to be simplified before combined.  So in my infinite wisdom I say:  you have 2 pieces of junk and 3 pieces of crap – What do we do first?  Student response:   You just have a bunch of shit!

Skinny-Mini Me

Let the games begin!  Well, not really a game, but it feels as though that’s an appropriate phrase to start with.  I’ve taken the plunge towards self-improvement and joined Jenny Craig.  Beginning weight: 196.6 pounds.  Current target: 150.  They say I should be between 159 and 121, but what kinda goal is that!?!  I think I’ll take aim at 150 and then see where I can go from there.  I’d like to be halfway there by Easter…  What do you think?  Can I lose 25 pounds in three and a half months?  Is that a realistic goal to have?  I guess only time will tell.  Took the pup for a nice walk this afternoon.  I think I did her in.  Guess a mile and a half in 25 minutes was too much for her short little mini-dachshund legs?
