Shake Your Tambourine, Go'n and Getcha Self a Whistle and Blow!

That's how I feel today.  Ready to party!  Satiated.  Happy.  Motivated.  Good way to start the week and to start a diet.

So basically, I'm sleep deprived as hell TODAY.  I was on EP up until the wee hours of the morning, reading all of these incredible journeys of phenomenal people.  Finally get my tail in the bed around 3 am (I know, crazy right?).  Then Mister calls me at 6:50 am talking about, "What happened to you last night?"  Oh yeah...I did tell him I would call back when I got back from Jenny.  I think I cursed him out in gibberish, and he let me get back to my remaining 45 minutes of sleep.  But that threw me off -- when I did wake up, I was running late and had to scramble around tog get everything together -- but I did it!  And I remembered my food, and my eating plan, and I made it here to work on time.

For breakfast, I had the Banana Nut cereal (and yeah, I cut up some banana to put in it), with skim milk & Splenda.  It was good, actually.  For a mid-morning snack, I had a non-fat yogurt (6 oz.).  Lunch, I had some lightly sauteed string beans along with my Turkey burger, and a few strawberries and grapes.  Can I just say I was stuffed?  I was drinking plenty of water all day, and for lunch, I treated myself to a Diet Pepsi.  Soooo good.  For dinner, I have the Chicken Fettucini tonight, along with a big garden salad I made of romaine, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, onion, artichoke hearts, carrots and mushrooms.  Top it off with Jenny's fat free dressing.  And I believe I get to grub on some Chocolate cake tonight too.  Damn, Jenny...you let folks do the damn thing, don't you?  I'm not mad at her!  I enjoyed the hell out of my first day!

I had pedometer today on my hip, but because I have on a cutesy kimono style dress...it wasn't looking cute, just pinned to the fabric of my dress.  And 85% of my wardrobe (for work) is dresses.  Oh well...I'll have to figure out another way to wear it. 

Tomorrow...the gym?  I'll see.  Maybe if I can get my hindpots in the bed like normal people, I can get up and get to walking.

Thank you for all the well-wishes!  Really...it was wonderful reading each one.  I feel connected...and that's important for me to succeed.  Especially my JC'ers...thanks for supporting the newbie, fresh out of the blocks. 

Wish me success!

Go Jenny!

I just started JC over a week ago so we can do it together! It's actually a great program! I mean you get to eat macaroni and cheese while on a diet! I think that's something to celebrate. Keep up the good work!

Go Girl!!

Sound like you are well on your way... Keep up the good work!

You better stop acting!

Girl who cares how that pedometer looks?  They were not meant to be fashion accessories...lol!!  I really need to find a good one.  I read something on one of the blogs (or maybe on MSN) that's inspired me to try and buy one. They said that if you want to get motivated into walking, pick a place on the map that you'd like to go to, figure out how many miles it is from where you are, and then walk those miles.  They don't mean actually walk to where you want to go but rather, log the number of miles you've walked and trace your path on the map.  I think that's great!  I would like to visit Mt. Rushmore but that's a long trip.  I think I'm gonna start with something small like walking to Atlanta (I've never really been there) or Chicago for obvious reasons.  Those places aren't really all that far from Nashville.  I'm gona start by trying to walk it on my treadmill until I can get a good pedometer.

While I'm looking if I find something hot and cute I'll shoot it your way.  In the meantime, don't worry about that thing not going with what you wear.  Pretty soon you won't be wearing that stuff and trust me, no one is going to be paying attention to that piece of plastic on your waist!  They are going to be looking at your new hot momma body!

Good job!

What a great day you had!  Keep up the good work.  My bf is doing JC and she loves it.  Good for you for finding something you can follow. 

pedo

I just bought myself that pedometer.. it looked like I've got a pill case on my hip! hehehehehe atta girl! :)

glad that you're ecstatically on high.. now don't do crack. Lol. :) have you ever had this sleepy days wherein no matter what you do you just want to conk out?

That's My Song!

You know that song was on my mind the other day and I was wondering if your sis ever got the name of the artist.

You can do this!  Stop over-worrying about a pedo interfering with your cuteness.  I'll be checking on you. 

Welcome!!

Love the title of your blog!!! Best of luck with the JC journey - it has worked wonders for me - completely changed my life. I am fitter and feel better than I EVER have. I still have another 55 or so lbs to go, but I know I'm going to do it. You can too!!

What I do

With the pedometer when I wear a dress is clip it to the band of my panties or slip under the dress.  It works.  When I use the restroom I make sure it is still secure.

The things we'll do LOL!!
