Aloha Friday!!!

My weight was 141.75 this morning. I got up early and rode the bike before breakfast. Today was another successful day, so that's day 5 towards my 14 day goal. (1765 calories consumed.) I am so happy it is the weekend!! I really need this time to relax :)

This Week is Going So Slow!!!

Aaron suggested that I take today as another rest day, and who am I to argue with that! ;) My Calories were 1640 today, (290 of that was chocolate!) My weight was 143.50 this AM.

At work I am helping to write the movie script for this years Users Group Meeting. Last year the theme was "Mysteries," and I was in the movie as the evil "Em Fatale." (I can send you the file if you are interested seeing it.) This year the theme is "THE FUTURE." I am writing about the year 7006 to be exact... not that I can say anything exact about the year 7006... but it is fun to speculate.

In all honestly, with all the pollution, war or even an asteroid striking the Earth... I'd be surprised if the human race can make it to the year 7006, but for all intensive purposes we have to believe that the world is all nice and clean and Utopian.

Have You Seen This?!

For years I've talked about how cool the My Virtual Model website is, well I have to say things have just got one step cooler!

Prevention.com has a free weight loss simulator using MVM!!!
So now you can see your model at different weights, side-by-side! TOO SWEET!!!

Oh, and speaking of sweets, you don't have to sign up for their "sugar solution" to use it, it's totally FREE!!!

Today is Day 14 towards my "live healthy for 14 days straight and get a reward" goal. It is also a "rest day" for me. My calories are right on track, so I will be getting my reward tomorrow!!! Well, at least ordering it from Amazon tomorrow... ;) It will also be day 1 for my next 14 days of Healthy Living to get a reward tomorrow... that means I COULD have the next DVD in the set by July 23rd! Too Cool! YEA!

I plan to do yoga tomorrow morning before work, but it's so hard to leave the bed - especially when my husband is so cute and cuddly!!! :)

Let me know if you find anything funky!

Today's exercise was back-to back Tai Chi classes.
I have ate 1030 calories so far today, and supper will be fish and veggies! Mmmm!

I think it is safe to say that day 13 will be a success!!! If I am able to stick to my goal tomorrow, then I will get my reward on Monday!!! I am so excited!!! :)


A salty supper last night puffed me up to 143.50 this morning... but It's all good.

June's Stats

Over all I was one pound down in June.
I had a few days where my weight spiked up from super salty foods, and there was the pie/pms/period part at the end of the month, but I got better! ;)

I ate 1670 caloires today, and rode the bike for 20 fat calories. Four more days to go and I get my reward for living healthy for two weeks straight! Ai Yori Aoshi will be mine!! :)

Healthy Holiday Weekend!

I took yesterday off and made a 4-Day weekend using just one vacation day. SWEET.

Today is the 9th day in a row that I have been good to my new healthy lifestyle.

I ate 1770 calories today, and biked for 20 "fat calories." I don't think that number means anything in reality, but it is one of the numbers displayed by the LCD while I bike. (Speed in MPH, Distance, Time on/left on the bike, Heart Rate, Resistance Level, Calories Burned, Fat Calories Burned)

The night out with Starr was very fun with a little bit of creepy nostalgia. We walked around the "town" (again using the term town loosely to describe Rockdale, WI.) It was weird seeing what was the same, and what was different.

Here are some pictures of me, Starr and my sister Becky. Compare them to the picture below of us from the Summer of 2000!
Jess, Starr and Becky



I was 141.00 on the button this morning. When I get back in the office tomorrow I will run the numbers to get the weight loss stats for June!

Back to My Roots

The monthly puffies are in retreat and I was back to 141.25 this morning. Yea!

Today is Day 7 towards my new goal. Just one more week to go, and I will finally get my reward! I am so excited!!!

Another thing I am excited about is my friend Starr is visiting from L.A! We are hooking up tonight, then going out to the townie bar where my sister, Becky, is tending!

I plan on taking lots of pictures! Last time the three of us were together was the Summer of 2000!! That's six years ago!!!



Me, Starr & Becky - Summer 2000

But before I get to go out for a night on the tiny "town." (I use the word "town" to describe Kroghville VERY loosely)

Well, I should try to make a dent in the HUGE pile of laundry, and perhaps do some dishes, since there isn't any counterspace left...

I'm going to go be "domestic" for a while!
