Money, Money, Money

I got the email today that my P90 has been shipped!  I should have it by Saturday, 1/29.  More later on when I'm going to start...

I wanted to make a dollar tally listing how much I've spent on weight loss over the years.  Keep in mind, this is just "formal" costs and does not included buy diet food that I may or may not have eaten, or gym memberships.  Some of these are best guesses, but I think I'm pretty accurate.

1990 - Jenny Craig plan: 
Membership Fees - $250
16 weeks of food at an average of $60/week - $960 (average cost of $38.40/pound)

2002 - Weight Watchers:
4 months of program at $15/month (on-line program) - $60 (average cost of $1.50/pound)

2005 - Nutrisystem:
9 months of program food at $250/month - $2,250 (average cost of $37.50/pound)

2007 - Medical Weight Loss:
9 months of program at $160/month - $1,440 (average cost of $28.80/pound)

Total - $4,710 to end up heavier than I've ever been before.  That's kind of disgusting...

On a different, happier note, I walked 5 miles today with my marathon buddies.  We did a route that has a big hill.  What a struggle!  Both of my friends are in a lot better shape than I am, and it's really an awful feeling to be the one slowing them down.  Not forever though!

Now, back to starting P90.  I think it depends on what day I get it, but I'm leaning towards starting next Sunday (1/30).  I have a 14 mile walk I need to do next weekend for the marathon, so I was thinking I'd do that on Saturday morning and start P90 on Sunday.  I'm so excited!!!  Wish I had it right now.  I feel like I'm on cusp of something great!
