Jessie's at it again.

As a rule I don't talk about my personal life on this blog.  But I feel I need to excuse why I now weigh about 200 lbs.  Ugh, seeing it typed out is so depressing.  Allow me to explain.

When I got married I was pretty near my goal weight.  The next day we moved to Minnesota.  I had no friends, no job, and no idea how to get around the town.  So at home, on the LoveSac, I did sit.  I gained around 25 lbs, landing me at 160.  Silly now how large I felt at that weight.

October of 2010 we moved to Lehi, UT.  Again I found myself with no friends, no job, and no desire to venture out to Utah County. 

January through August of 2011 I was off and on (mostly on) depressed.  I turned to food for comfort.  Oh, Food.  You wonderful listener.  You constant companion.  Thank you for literally filling me up when I was empty.  Ahem.  Turns out this is a bad idea.

 2011, I had already ballooned up to 180.  A health issue helped me gain another 39 lbs.  (Sarcasm.)  If you're doing the math at home you'll know this means I was 219 at my heaviest.  Oh, the shame.

So now I'm back on the wagon.  I'm putting my weight loss ticker back on the blog.  I'm keeping track of food and exercise at MyFitnessPal.com.  

I'll do weekly updates of the weight ticker.  I won't have time to blog about each weigh in.  I barely have time to put my hair in a pony tail these days.

Check in from time to time.  Cheer me on.  Leave your suggestions in the comments.  I'm open to work out ideas.

We've moved again.  So now I need to make friends.  Hopefully friends who want to go to the Rec Center with me.

Saw this in the store today...

What a bargain!!


P.S. I totally bought it.

My Subconscious is Hilarous

The other night, I dreamt that a friend was really sick, so a group of us were doing service for him. We met for breakfast and were passing out packages that looked like this:

Naturally though, since it was breakfast, there were little bite-sized strudels inside (instead of noodles). 

Only after I woke up, did I realize they were "Cup 'O' Strudels". 

HA!!!

I should totally market this, don't you think?

From the classifieds -- putting a price on useless

How does one put a price on useless?  This guy has it at three hundred dollars.  Sadly no picture was included in the ad.

Confessions from Jessie

I love the song "Barbie Girl" by Aqua.  If that wasn't bad enough, right now, on my iPod, "I'll Be Your Candle on the Water" is playing.

Your turn.  What's on your iPod?

Self-Serve

So, if grocery stores make a profit that they, in turn, pay their cashiers with, shouldn't I get a discount on food for "checking out" myself?

To My Cohort...

What can I say today? March third. 3/3.


"A date which will live in infamy" No that's not it...


"You are the straw that breaks my camel's back" Hmm... that can't be right...


"You... complete me." 


Yeah. That's it. You complete me.

"Have your cake and eat it too"


It's your birthday.  I won't tell if you don't leave leftover*. ;)
