I love this picture!
On the day after Christmas, I went to my local JC for a little consultation. A few years back I joined and bought the lifetime membership. Maybe I'm psychic or maybe I know myself?? Or maybe it's just self-fulfilling prophecy... Regardless, I am a member and don't have to PAY THEM to buy their very EXPENSIVE food. Thanks, Jenny! I don't remember how much that membership cost me, but I'm sure JC is still coming out on the better end, financially, of this partnership.
JC is okay, but I don't really like having the little "talk" each week with my consultant. Hell, she doesn't know me! And I'd venture to say that she has no degrees in psychology or sociology. What makes her an expert?!? But she is my "entrance fee" to the world of JC cuisine and weekly weigh-ins. I'm afraid I'll have to tolerate her for awhile.
Today to keep my visit short, I took my 3 year old along. I figured she'd terrorize the place enough that the consultant would make it quick to get me out of the place. While G wasn't her usual piss-and-vinegar self, I think her tagging along did help speed up the process. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. That included a quick chat and a weigh-in.
Now. Drum roll, please... After one week on the JC plan, I've lost 4 1/2 pounds. Pretty good, right? I'm not just super ecstatic because it's so far away from my goal. But I do need to learn to be proud of the little accomplishments. I cannot help but feel a sense of panic when I think of how much I need to lose in total, though. I've really put myself on the hook this time around.
This time it is IMPERATIVE that I reach my goal! I've already told 50 million Facebook subscribers that I would be in a bikini by the end of May. I even started a group. WTF?!? I was having a manic moment! As is typical for me, I am second-guessing myself. Me and my great ideas...
Hell, I am the QUEEN of great ideas. I love coming up with a plan to accomplish my great ideas, too. The DOING of something to accomplish the goal, though? Ahhhh, not so much. Ya see, my problem is that I am a very lazy over-achiever. Is it really possible to be a lackadaisical Type A personality? I am a woman of contradictions -- an oxymoron.
LOL! The ADD is kicking in... I am an OX y MORON. I am an ox (I look like one), and I am a moron (for setting goals I'm not willing to put forth effort to achieve).
Okay, I'm back. Luckily, the new Facebook group is full of ladies like me. Most are direct and shoot from the hip. When I start to falter, I am sure one of them will give me the kick in the ass that I need. If nothing else, maybe they can help me keep my eye on the ball (or the bikini).
Let's recap so I can remember exactly what this blog is all about... I am fat. I am currently on the JC diet plan. I MUST reach my weight loss goals by the end of May. I MUST stick it out. I MUST wear a bikini to the beach.
