A quick post to let you know that there’s a new jlog over at the JC site. Here’s a quick cut:

Now, I did actually have the weekend (actually, it was Sunday and Monday) off so I wasn’t completely without free time. So what did I do on Sunday? Um, I met up with Christopher Ross Lane (who trained Valerie for her marathon) and ran six miles… in a row! This is getting nuts. SIX MILES?! Who does that?

Before this part, Sara mentions she’s lost 45.8 pounds. First off, why do they have to be so specific. Just round it. It’ll make the world a better place. Really. Haha. And Secondly, 46 poounds? That’s a lot. I wonder when she’s going to stop? Obviously the folks at Jenny Craig and her doctor will hopefully let her know when she’s lost enough. Or at least they better.

Don’t forget… Dieting can be just as addictive as food can be.

Anyway, read the full post over here.

Also, I’m working on setting up a new video app to use on the video pages. It’ll be neater looking than several video windows on one page. Here’s a sample (hope it works!). I’m working on getting thumbnail images so we don’t have to look at those black boxes all the time. Should be fininshed updating this in the next couple weeks:

Wow! It’s only been 6 days since I last posted, and I’ve somehow missed 2 blog posts being put up. I wonder how that works? Haha. Anyway, here’s a clip from each post:

Week 20

Ok, this knee thing is starting to get to me. I’m on the mend and working out again, but just as I think it’s 100% better, it starts to hurt again. Argh. If I were a pirate I’d steal someone else’s knee. Ok, that was dumb. Anyway, regardless of my knee drama, I lost 1.2 pounds* this week by being super aware of my food choices (since I knew I wouldn’t be working out as much).

I like the pirate line. It’s not really funny, but any reference to a pirate is a win. Anyway, to the next post:

Week 21

I shoot more JC commercials next week and those are always great motivators. I remember how hard the wardrobe fitting was for my first commercial shoot. That was a really tough day. I admit it; I may have had to excuse myself from the fitting to shed a tear or two in the bathroom. But now, the wardrobe fittings are actually fun.

As always, the blogs can be viewed at the Jenny Craig site. Week 20 is here, and week 21 is here.

I’ve been pretty busy with other things so I haven’t really had a chance to get on here and update. I also seem to have missed on some new pictures coming out recently. While Sara was in New York City, she did some wedding dress “shopping” and some pics were taken while she was there. Here are a couple, and I’ve added a few others to the image gallery section of the site.

Also, in case no one has heard, Sara Rue will be attending a charity poker tournament on the 20th at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. This charity event is being put on by Annie Duke, and more information can be found here. Just another time I wished I lived anywhere near LA.

Hello everyone. A quick post to tell you that I’ve found another video of Sara Rue from the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational. I’ve added some subtitles as best as I could so we know what the interviewer is saying in between answers. Enjoy!

Hello everyone. 2 posts in one day! Wow. I must be feeling guilty for having neglected the updates lately. Haha. Anyway, I found the following video recently showing a little bit of the filming of Sara’s latest commercial for Jenny Craig. I found it from the Superiorpics.com forums (thanks PieMan). I wish I knew where this came from, and also if there are more out there! Hehe. Anyway, here’s the vid. Enjoy it.

Also, in site related news, I’m going off on vacation starting tomorrow the 15th (also my birthday. Yay!!!!) and won’t be back for 10 days. Hopefully Sara doesn’t do anything super important during that time. I’ll try to check my sources on occasion just in case.

One thing to note is the OC Hillel Charity Poker Tournament on April 25th. Held at the Bicycle Casino, Sara is currently expected to attend. More information can be found at the OC Hillel Charity Poker Tournament site.

I would also like to note that this is in memory of Bruce Manning, the gentleman who was kind enough to allow me the use of Sara’s pictures from last year. RIP Bruce.

Here’s a video from the World Poker Tours Celebrity Invitational tournament held in February at the Commerce Casino in LA. From the microphone, it looks like this clip came from Rockerrazzi.com, but I can’t find this on their site, so no link to an original posting. Well, enjoy!

Sara Rue has posted another Jlog over at JennyCraig.com. It’s week 6 already! Seems to be flying by. I wonder if it feels the same for her? Here’s my favorite part of this latest entry:

Sorry to talk your ear off, but I just want you to know that this not just some diet, it’s lifestyle change. I wanted to have a great little trip, with fun dinners out, and a lot of relaxation and I was able to do so without paying a price for it on the scale. Now that’s the lifestyle I WANT!! I feel like I finally might be figuring some stuff out. It’s pretty exciting.

I feel it’s important to also note that this post features what I believe to be the longest parenthesized(?) phrase I’ve ever encountered. I’d include that portion here as well, but I’ll let the reader try to find it.

In other news, it seems that I was correct about ABC skipping an episode of Eastwick when they had chosen which one to show last. The missing episode, titled ‘Red, Bath and Beyond’ was aired in the UK. I will say now that it makes it even more evident that the show had really hit it’s stride and found a comfortable balance between drama, comedy, and suspense. It’s unfortunate ABC pulled it. However, it’s gone for now, and I’ll try to get a clip up (Sara is only in one scene) sometime soon.

Some brief site content news. I’ve added a clip to the videos section from Season 3 of Less Than Perfect. This clip also features one of my favorite poker pros, Phil Gordon. Don’t forget to check out the videos section for more clips of Sara, and this clip will be on the Less Than Perfect video page.

Finally, I’ve added some recent pics of Sara out and about (oot and aboot for our Canadian friends :-p) at the HBO Luxury Lounge. I’ve added these to a 2nd gallery in the images section, as Gallery #1 was getting a bit crowded. I’ll leave you with a sample, and also my favorite of the new pics. I’m a sucker for women posing with music games:

Some news coming in (not really. I just found it. Heh) from the interwebs is telling me that Sara Rue will be at a poer tournament this Wednesday. I’m sure she’s at quite a few, but seeing as how I’m not a close personal friend of hers (unfortunately), I only find out about the PR ones. Anyway, the Bicycle Casino is holding a “Celebrity-Media Invitational Poker Tournament” on Wednesday the 29th as part of an event to unveil their new poker ballroom. The cash prize will be split between the winner and the charity of the winner’s choice.

Good Luck, Sara!
