31 years old....31 points!

I signed up for weight watchers online about 10 minutes ago. i started to sign up last night and clicked out of it. then it gave me this "hey don't go, here's another 10 bucks off the price" so i saved that and signed up this morning.
i didn't want to start today but i wanted to get use to everything on the site. it seems confusing to me so far. i know it shouldn't but the points are something i'm going to have to learn. in my mind i think that 31 points is A LOT of points. and the food menu that they suggest uses them all up in a day. i have this idea in my head where you don't eat much to lose it. MY idea of a menu is oatmeal and a fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch and a piece of chicken and potatoes for dinner. ok THIER idea of a meal plan is...oatmeal, fruit, milk, tea for breakfast, hamburger, veggies, fruit, milk, salad, dressing for lunch, a snack of tea, toast, jam, veggies, and dinner of chicken, spaghetti, sauce, milk, tea, fruit, whipped cream, a smootie...i mean it's not really like that but the list goes on for days!! so immediately in my head i said "self, follow it, they know what they are doing" and the other part of my mind said "self, if you eat all that crap you're not gonna lose anything" i have to get into a better mind set. remember one of my things was not to knock myself down. so i think i'll play around with the points tomorrow to see what i can come up with for a meal plan for thursday and to see how i do at work.
then keep on the plan and totally get into it on monday. here are some questions..

what type of vitamin should i be taking? i hate water, does anyone have suggestions on how to get all of that water into me? how can i hold my self accountable for this for real?

i totally feel the love people!! AMY...heck yes!! and lushy! heck yes! LOL

i re did my fridge tonight. did you know that ground chuck has 21 grams of fat per serving? and ground turkey has NONE?! i was floored!

there are some cool tools i have found recently. put down the donut is located on my links part. My online buddy Joelle runs that site. she's also on a mission.
i found a link to hungrygirl.com it is pretty fun. also thebiggestloserclub.com has a forum that's really cool.

how about exercise?? what is everyone doing for that?

my plant..

isn't it cool? anyone know what it is? lol

my post where i talk about weight

so, i'm going to join weight watchers on friday. online. then i'm going to look around for a gym. and take regular walks. or something. but i totally am joining weight watchers on friday. let me tell you, it scares me to death. i get on these kicks where i'm TOTALLY cool for a week...lose about 5 pounds and then say screw it and eat 9 dozen cookies. thing is, i'd like to feel attractive, fit into a booth at a restaurant, not breathe heavy when i walk up stairs, not be so tired all the time, and not be fat.

so, this is where i put my foot down and say "self, you're fat" and do something.
so....let this be a warning to everyone....jenny is going on a mission. :)

Mike Sherman fired.

there was a press conference that i slept right through. you can hear that by going to www.packers.com and finding out what they said about it. so what does this mean for the green bay packers? a new beginning? brett farve leaving? didn't he say once that if sherman goes, he goes? i don't think that it's mike sherman's fault for the horrible season they had. i know that they should have to be able to work with any players, but look at all of the players that were hurt this year. javon walker, one of the most talented players, out for the season. some other players were out too, which leaves the benchers to take their shot at it. donald driver can only do so much.
it takes a strong team. and that's something they lacked this year. maybe it's time for farve to retire. he's, what, 87 years old now..time to move on. he had a good run like 5 years ago. you're no spring chicken, brett. if you could arrange the team like you wanted to, how would you do it? i wouldn't have the foggiest on where to start. maybe they don't either, so they are starting with the coach. let me coach for a while. tell the guys to run to the opposite end of the field and hang on to the ball. what's so hard about that?

2006

what i'd like to happen in 2006......

Get a new job.
lose weight/join weight watchers.

get some self esteem.
stop making fun of myself.
take some classes.
drink more water.
grow out my hair.
keep my house clean.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve!

I'm officially glad I'm going out tonight because if I had to stay home, I'd be watching this program (which I'm dvr'ing) but I'd be totally depressed if these 3 people were 'rockin' my new years eve!


what are your plans for the last day of 2005? And do you have any resolutions?

resume

does anyone know where a format would be to make a resume? i just need an outline to follow to make one for myself. i've never had one, and with me quitting my job soon, i'll need to start sending out resumes to companies. i'll explain more later about the job.

feedback...

yes or no with the new look?

Oh come all ye faithful!

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her first born Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Merry Christmas!
