there are 15 calories of sugar in a teaspoon and yes I put way more of the good stuff in my coffee but did you know that to burn off those 15 little calories you can do the following:

therefore for every teaspoon of sugar I intake during my diet - I either need to stay in the shower 8 minutes longer or sleep 13 minutes longer or go out and get a life but that might involve alcohol and I'd have to burn more calories to get that out..hmm

Today I signed up for Jenny Craig because I was inspired by Monica who has already lost 17lbs on the Jenny Craig diet. Way too go - if she can do it, I can do it. The only thing I know that I can't give up food wise is my milk - I love reduced fat milk and nonfat milk is ick - why bother, might as well drink water if you're going to drink nonfat milk. I also no way in hell will give up my 2 cups of coffee in the morning - I can cut down on the sugar but not give it up completely.

The only thing that really bothered me by the Jenny Craig consultant was she really didn't listen, she'd ask me a question then not wait for my answer. Or I'd ask a question and she didn't answer but went on to another topic. And she kept asking me about my feelings - I'm not going to tell her my feelings, I don't even know her and she wasn't listening anyways - damn good thing she wasn't the reason I decided to do this for myself.  And she kept telling me all about the wonderful chocolate treats - now I know she wasn't listening, I told her right off - I'm allergic to chocolate. And why doesn't anyone think that cookies-n-cream bar is not chocolate - what planet are they on? And realistically, I think losing 10 inches on my waist is a good goal but she said I'd be a stick - huh? having a size 46 waist is not good

I still am not really sure how this diet is going to work with my schedule. And eating every 2 hours - don't know how that's going to work - I sit at the computer for hours and not even realize 4 hours have gone by, do you think I'm really going to remember to eat every 2 hours? And I can't really carry frozen foods with me all the time since I don't have a microwave in the car - so how is that going to work? And no she didn't answer any of these questions for me - maybe next appt they will.

Another thing that kind of bothers me about Jenny Craig - is that they tell you that all the meals are planned but they aren't really - you still have to go to the grocery store and get your free foods and if I had time to go to the grocery store, then I would eat healthy and you still need to count your food that you eat out based on their criteria and cheese counts as a meat - don't get that really - isn't cheese good for you?

so anyways, going to give it a try - I'll try to remember to eat every few hours. And I totally forgot I decided a weight loss category theme that is all blue - totally cool. Goal weight is 160 - 50lbs to go.
