Spilling the Beans

$12.60

javajennifer admins | April 27, 2008

I picked up a few new sponsors over the weekend and thought I’d publish a list of my sponsors (where possible, names have hidden to protect the innocent) with my gratitude.  Although I only lost .60 lbs last week, with the strength of my sponsors, I raised $12.60 which can only be good.  I worked [...]

‘Siddy Cents

javajennifer admins | April 25, 2008

I lost .6lbs this week which can probably be attributed to the large crap I took after my 2nd cup of coffee this morning.  Let’s see… if you are sponsoring me at $1/ lb then some poor kid in Africa is getting 60 cents.  I also got my race results from the Manna 5K that [...]

Rudness is Everywhere

javajennifer admins | April 24, 2008

Even when I look for the very best in people, rudeness is everywhere.  I fly USair and United almost exclusively because they fly direct to most of the cities I go to and have reciprocity programs for mileage.  I have USAir club membership and upgraded to the United Red Carpet Club but there is an [...]

Facing the scale tomorrow

javajennifer admins | April 24, 2008

  Since I know I have to weigh in tomorrow for week-one, I should disclose that I’m sure I gained weight this week.  My travel schedule is brutal right now and I have trips next week to Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vegas and California.  Still, on the positive side, I worked out with a personal trainer [...]

Wow. I’m really fat…!

javajennifer admins | April 23, 2008

It’s possible that the URL to my blog will be distributed to several (hundred???) people at my company as a fundraising example for my Biggest Loser efforts.  I feel compelled to offer to anyone visiting my blog for the first time:  I am a horrible speller and a walking grammatical error.  Whatever.  I’m fat which [...]

  With 5 days to go before my first official TBL weigh-in, I wanted to give a special shout out to my posse for the sponsorship:  Mom, Bug, Annapolis, Mom2, T$BD, Kelly Lynn, Noe, Wildman, Allison,  Shakes, Mr. and Mrs. Neighborcop and Neighbor-Girl Jen have all agreed to sponsor me and offer moral support.  With [...]

Lonnie “Calvin” Allen, Jr.

javajennifer admins | April 20, 2008

My brother was here over the weekend under the auspice of having attended a conference associated with the American Bar Association.  Home base for the event was a Hyatt on Capital Hill that holds the scent of wet trash and cleaning solvent.  A peculiar hotel to be sure and at $399 a night, a likely [...]

April 17, 2008 The Biggest Loser

javajennifer admins | April 17, 2008

  My 9 week fund-raiser for “The Biggest Loser” begins with my weigh-in tomorrow.  So far I have 5 people who have agreed to sponsor me at $1/lb and Kelly Lynn has agreed to sponsor me at $5/lb.  I did a cut and paste from the email that went out this morning… look for the [...]

The Pope in DC

javajennifer admins | April 17, 2008

  Writing in the blog, such as it is, I’ve learned quite a bit about when I tend to write the best, with more fluidity and with more passion for the topic.  I’m a morning person.  Fueled by coffee, sunshine and lingering dreams from the night before, I can’t get the ideas out of my [...]

Double Check your Pre-Nup

javajennifer admins | April 16, 2008

I don’t know if I’m supposed to be linking to other sites from my blog but I ran across this rant on You Tube this afternoon and laughed so hard I had tears running rivers down my face.  It was also a feature article on MSN this afternoon.  Light news day and all with the [...]
