Jenny Craig came knocking and I finally answered. They have parading a variety of celebrities in upbeat commercials. I guess, in a way, they must have worked because each one -- Kirstie, Valerie, Latifah, Phylicia -- shared their accomplishments with sincerity and a winning personality.
Meanwhile I was trying to workout on a regular basis, trying to follow other programs, trying to do my own portion control. But maintaining a regimen proved to be difficult. And the weight continued to plaster to each body part like annoying static cling with amazing frequency.
Now that I've entered the 40's, good health is paramount. Otherwise I could descend into illnesses that could make the next phase of life difficult. I want to feel energize, fit comfortably into those narrow airplane seats, and wear fashionable summer outfits.
I signed up for the Lifetime/Maintenance program. I knew walking in that this was for the long haul. I will have my one-on-one consultations, which I much prefer over group settings. I'm not shy with sharing my info -- look at this blog -- I just don't want to spend the time listening to folks talking about their issues. It's the Leo part of me.
I've set my goals. I have my food. And I'm all ready. In addition to the food, I'm working out at a minimum of 30 mins on the treadmill or other type of cardio. For Lent, I'm making it a goal to do 5-7 days a week, with 3 days of weight training. And successful completion in April will be a wonderful hot stone massage and a bouquet of flowers to myself.
I'll post my various milestones. Hopefully someone will be inspired to take charge of her life.
Goal: 80 pounds to be kicked to the curb

Good luck with Jenny, Michelle! She was my BFF, once upon a time, and we were great friends. She treated me well and met all of my expectations. Too bad we fell out of touch and I forgot everything she taught me.
Thanks, Patricia
Yeah, I did the same thing. But I had to go back LOL -- got too desperate.
