~Shy~

Well, I went to my Jenny Craig meeting this morning.

I came up 1lb shy of hitting the 10lb loss mark this month.

Truthfully, I'm a little disappointed... but I'm still extremely happy about dropping 9lbs of unwanted weight.

I also was measured.

I've lost a total of 8inches from different areas of my body (chest, waist, hips).

That, I'm liking :)

 

My goals for my 5th week are pretty much the same as last week.

I want to be more active (walks, playing outside with the kids)... and I want to start doing crunches in the morning or at night.  Maybe push ups too if my weak shoulders (from all the years of swimming and water polo) can handle them.

 

In other news...

I've been told by a few people that they aren't getting my alerts for my entries?

I guess that would explain why I haven't had as many comments as I usually do.  Wonder what happened now with AOL?

 

Um, what else, what else.

The Pickle Kiddos are doing well.

Wednesday night Rowan got her hair cut.

She had been telling me she wanted to get it cut... and get it cut short.  So she did :)

It is adorable.

I did take a picture of her... but because the battery on my camera was dying, the picture came out horrible.

So, I have the camera charging so I can take a picture of her later and then share it with you all.

 

I also have the camera charging for another reason.

I'm taking it with me tonight.

Where am I going tonight you ask?

I'm going to go to work with my Hubby.

 

Yup, I'm doing a ride-along with Derek.

Should be fun.

I haven't been out with him in over 2 years... maybe more.  Not since he had Tango and he had him for 3 years.

He has promised me that he'll try to get into some stuff tonight... you know, show me a good time ;)

 

So...

With that, I'm done.

 

I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful weekend.

~Hmm~

I was just thinking about how quiet it seems here in Jland.

 

Is it just me?

 

Or is Jland seem a bit quiet lately?

 

 

Have a great Thursday, Friends.

~Liking this Video Stuff~

I'm really starting to like this video stuff.

 

Its not that hard to do, really.

 

See, this is some video I shot of my husband flying our children up into the air :)

Or well, him flying Zach and Rowan attempting to get him to fly her!

 

Hope you enjoy the videos!!
~Jenn~

 

 

~Trying The Video Thing Again~

Please be patient with me... I'm trying to figure all of this embedded crap out :)

If you can't see the video at first... Come back and check in later... lol.

 

Anyways. This video is of Zachary.

Derek caught him moving furniture and then becoming "Mr. Dare-Devil".

Check it out :)

 

~Eh~

Right now, "Eh" is just how I feel.

I went to my Jenny Craig 'meeting' this morning.

You know, to do my whole weigh in and consulting thing.

 

I lost a pound this week.

And I feel, "eh" about it.

 

Really, I was hoping to drop another two or three pounds...

I know I shouldn't complain or feel "eh" about it...

But I do.

 

I guess maybe some where along the week I slipped up or something- like eating from Applebee's...

But my JC consultant doesn't think that was it.

She really believes that because I lost 7.4lbs in two weeks, that my body might be readjusting or something.  Who knows.

 

My goal for this next week (Sat-Fri) is to be more active.  Do more walking... playing outside... that kind of stuff.

Get my metabolism up and running... so I can drop a few more pounds.

 

My goal weight loss by next Friday is 10lbs... which means I need to drop 2.6lbs in the next week.

I know I can do it if I'm not such a slug in the evenings... Its just going to be hard for me to get moving ;)

 

Good thing I have kids that like to play outside and get into trouble and what not... lol.

 

Speaking of my kids, they are doing great.

They both have been in really "destructive" moods lately... so there has been a lot of things flying through the air... smacking each other... and what not.

Guess its a phase?

Please tell me its a phase!!

 

Well, I need to go and eat my lunch now... I'm having Rotini with meat balls and then my salad... always have the salad at lunch...

Hope you all have a great weekend~

~Hola~

Just wanted to pop in on my lunch break...

See what is going on in good ol Jland :)

 

I'm really enjoying my lunch today... Beef Chow Mien and then steamed spinach!

Lovin' JC.

 

Tonight we are going to a local pizza place to celebrate my MIL's dinner.  I am NOT going to have Pizza... I've already made that decision- especially since we had Applebee's last night and I had a Chicken Fijita Roll Up.

But since I'm not having salad today with my lunch, I'll have salad there and then when I get home I'll have my JC dinner- Fish & Chips.

(wish me luck that I like that dinner... its the first time I'm trying it!)

 

Not much is going on in the Pickle Jar.

It has been pretty quiet.

 

Rowan did get a trophy last night from her gymnastics place for being there 3 years!!  I will for sure post a picture of her with it once I get my camera back... my DH took it to work and didn't bring it home :(

I don't mind that he does that...

But I hate to miss the chance of taking some pictures of my kids...

Like last night, we were out in the front yard...

And Rowan has this obsession with Snails... yes, snails.

Well, Zachary has come to like them now.

So they are both out there, playing with the snails... and Zach picked one up and went to KISS IT!!

I couldn't stop laughing... but I did manage to not let him kiss it too :)

See, I needed my camera... and I was so bummed it wasn't at home.

I know there will be more times like that... so that makes it a bit better... but still, it would have been nice to have the camera home...

 

Okay, I'm about done with my lunch.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

~Week Two~

Today I had my Week 2 meeting with my Jenny Craig consultant and my weigh in.

I was kinda nervous about it because I had had a couple of drinks last Saturday and Sunday...

So, I didn't know what those beers could have done to my weight loss goal.

 

Well, let me tell you...

It didn't faze me.

But I won't be drinking like that anymore.

Maybe two beers a weekend... but not what I had last weekend :)

(it wasn't bad people... 5 beers in a 2 day spot)

 

I officially lost another 3.8lbs!!!

Yup!

I'm so exicted!!

So, that makes a total of 7.4lbs in 2 weeks!!

I'm stoaked.

 

I hope that I'll be able to loose 10lbs by the end of the month... If I can keep this rate up!

Okay, enough rambling.

I need to go and try to finish defrosting the hamburger I took out to make dinner for the kids...

Me?

I'm having Sweet and Sour Chicken... 1 1/2 cups of steamed broccoli and then Toffee Bite cookies for Dessert :)

Yummo!
