I’m back on the juice. Coffee that is. I drank two nice strong (homemade in my French press cups) about a week back. It gave me wings, man. Wings. I have kept it up.
I like my job. But I would still like to win the lottery so I can do whatever I want. But work has been fun. We had a special event today, and since Christmas came early for me and I have a new camera (another one, but that’s another story) I really enjoyed our event. Can’t wait to take the new little guy on my coming NYC and Africa adventures.
I hate stringing lights on Christmas trees so much, when the lights on my tree-in-a-box didn’t work I bought a new tree. The old one is laying in my living room. Maybe I’ll have two trees. Or donate it to someone who could use one.
I am not a totally useless and wasteful consumer. I’ve been trying to be a conscious (and also green) consumer lately. I am really enjoying my CSA membership. Just think how healthy I be if I eat my collard greens, kale, lettuce and cabbage this week. Yum.
I have picked up my healthy battle axe lately (get it? Pick your battles?) and worked on my health. It’s working out OK so far. I’ve lost 15% of my total body weight. I’ve taken down 25 lbs. so far, 18 to go to be in a healthy BMI range*. And when I hit that goal I’ll have lost 26% of my body weight. Hopefully in time for a new swimsuit for the beach this coming season.
I had hoped to pick up some really hot ass jeans at the consignment shop to accompany my weight loss. No luck. Seems like designer jeans don’t accommodate my hips and thighs. So I got some cute jeans (don’t shoot me) at Wal-Mart. I’m a Wal-Mart shape in a Seven For All Mankind World. And I also saved about 40 smackers. Not all bad I guess. Work with what ya got I say.
Like how the items in my list get progressively longer? Well, I’m thinking of keeping the blog up more regualarly for a number of reasons. We’ll see how that goes.
Happy 10-days-until-Christmas-Eve day.
* I keep getting conflicting reports on the BMI scale. I’m hoping for only 18 pounds more but if I must press on past that I will.

Hey girl, keep up the healthy eating! I’ve managed to keep off most of what I lost after Europe. It’s amazing what a year of living next door to a bakery and drinking really good beer can do to your waistline. Lots of expando pants, that’s what!
jenn, wowsers! i wish that eating collards would work for my waistline…… they’re really good stir fried up with the kale and lots of garlic, but you probably know that. eleanor says, ‘mom, isn’t there any more kale?’ gotta love that. congrats on the weight loss–i’m betting there’s been some eliptical machine involved. must get my own ass up the mountain. s
Good job on the body image work; I need to find similar motivation — this cold weather is *killing me*.
My wife and I are both Walmart shapes, which in some respect is frightening, considering what I see regulary in the aisles, but at the same time, I guess I’m an average cross-section of the population, so I don’t feel as much of a freak. Mostly.
Nice camera…we just picked up a Nikon D40 and are having all manners of fun with it so far.
