The World According to Jeanne

I finally had a little scrapbook time yesterday, so I created my very first 6X12 layout. I really like this size! It was quick and you can get two layouts out of one sheet of 12X12!! I decided to make a scrapbook for myself, which I'll work on every now and then. I have things I want to scrap that don't have anything to do with the kids, so those layouts will go into this 6X12 album. Check out my attempt at scrappin 6X12 - hope you like it as much as I do!

I started Jenny Craig yesterday in an attempt to lose about 45 pounds. I get mad at myself for letting the weight creep back on. The last time I got skinny was in 2005. Then Mattie came along, and it's been downhill since. So far, my impressions of the Jenny Craig program are: 1) portion sizes are really small (smaller than a Lean Cuisine) and 2) the snack bars and soups are just about inedible. But I'm a sport, and I plan on sticking it out. The meals themselves are pretty good, just small. I had Jenny Craig french toast for breakfast yesterday with their lo-cal syrup and it was delish. What's really helping me is that Gil is also trying to eat well and exercise, so I have an ally. We're going to New Orleans for the weekend in two weeks, so that will be a test. Think Galatoire's has any low-fat menu options???
