OK, time to make a move. I need get going on a plan. It thought about joining Jenny Craig as a way to jump-start my weight loss. It is expensive but I figured if I did it for 6 weeks maybe I could lose some weight quickly and then feel motivated. The first time I gained weight, back in 1993, I went on Jenny Craig and lost 25 lbs. in about 10 weeks. It was great but then as soon as I went off, I quickly started gaining it back almost immediately. Also, I don’t want to be eating different food from the family. I want us all to be eating as healthy as we can. I want to be setting a good example and I don’t think I can do that by eating out of little boxes. So Jenny Craig is out.

Instead I am thinking of going back to the YMCA. What I really need to do is exercise more and that is one place I can do it with the kids is the Y. I tried joining a year ago but there was too much going on and it didn’t work. Let’s see how this goes.
