got up this morning and walked with my sister…(that picture is on fb!) i was so tired but knew if i didnt do it, i’d feel miserable all day.
then i headed to nyc because alexis and i had to do voice over for an mslo project this afternoon… here we are in the studio.
ofcourse, one of us kept our papers messy…and the other neat. who’s the messy one?!
and after, alexis left to do something other than her taxes and i headed toward the parking lot where i had parked my car. but then i realized i was HUNGRY… so i left the lot and went to 5 napkin burger on west 45th street and 9th avenue.
i sat at the bar, placed my "to go" order (turkey burger over a salad, no cheese and dressing on the side and (yikes!) a diet coke!) and planned to eat it in the car on the way home…
then i thought how messy/unattractive that would be…and dangerous (!) so i ate at the bar…and the bartender was super nice. he even told me not to eat the dressing on the left because it was mayonnaise/cream based!
he took my picture.
i’m not one to eat alone in a restaurant often because i feel awkward. but today it was actually quite nice. and yummy.
pls remember to get tickets to come see alexis and me (be in our studio audience!) tape our tv show for hallmark channel. we need the support!

Who is that with you Jen? Brgitte Nielsen?
Good God! What in the heck is Alexis wearing??? How inappropriate! God!
Dont you know that restaurant food is LOADED with hidden fat and calories???? Any diet counselor will advise that you always carry some kind of nutritious snack food with you at all times, raw organic almonds, a piece of fruit, carrot sticks. You should be able to control your appetite to the point where hunger does not interrupt your life and cause you to go into a restaurant! for lunch! by yourself!!! Its that kind of “splurge/treat” mentality that packs on pounds. Think lean, act lean, get lean. End of story.
That poor, poor bartender. You could not have possibly tipped enough to make up for what that poor soul had to endure.
Who the eff told you that turkey burgers were an acceptable “go to” restaurant choice? Dont you know that there are different grades of ground turkey meat, much of which is not very lean because it contains plenty of dark meat in the mixture, but is far more cost effective, especially for restaurants. You dont know how to eat properly.
Jennifer – you look amazing! You glow!
Wild horses couldn’t keep me away.
Your salad looks delicious. I’m heading to NYC next week – I’m thinking I should visit 5 Napkin Burger as I’ve never been there before. Do you have any other recommendations?
I love Momofuku Milk Bar for dessert but would love to hear good restaurant and bakery recommendations:)
Jennifer,
You look awesome! Hope you feel as good as you look:)
LOOKIN’ GOOD JENNY, CONFIDENCE COMES WITH SKINNY.
I think it can be a nice experience to eat solo at a bar/restaurant every once in a while. Enjoyed the post, thanks for sharing.
the medicinal (physical & mental) effects of exercise aren’t overrated, right? you look so much lilke your sister in that picture!
jenn you did good. listen to yourself. it was not fast food. you enjoyed cause. your not feeding your family. best to you.
I agree Jen, walking and even more effective, jogging really helps to quiet or silence all the inner “chatter”. If that’s what you are referring to here, kudos to you for figuring it out after so many years of being sedentary.
@Not Good: Shut up!!!
It’s nice to eat out alone once in a while. You look great, keep up the good work!
You disgust me. WTF kind of blogging is this?
Dahling you look mahvelous. After writing that I’m thinking that no one under thirty-five will know the reference. But you certainly do look great and you certainly are photogenic. Thanks for sharing. Its great to see someone get on board with exercise and health and such a great place to be. And these naysayers….what a load of bull$hit. You eat that turkey burger or any other burger when you have the occasional hankering. Who the hell can eat carrot sticks and raw organic almonds every day? And congrats cause there was obviously restraint in your choice. Good luck on the new show.
Jenn, looks like a good time to me. And dudes, she lost a bunch of weight and stopped to eat a freakiin’ turkey burger. No guilt trip needed there. The day someone has to worry about one restaurant meal is a pretty fn’ sad day!
I wish there was a 5 napkin burger place where I live.
Sure are some nasty people out there!! You look wonderful and this was a different post to your usual – I liked it!!! All the best and Jennifer I wish I could come to a taping of your show but distance makes it that little more difficult – hopefully I will time it appropriately next time we visit the US (fingers crossed for next year). All the best :))
Jennifer, you definitely have to buckle down if you REALLY want to take your appearance to the next level and get nice and slender for television. Restaurant food should be eaten rarely, and carefully because yes, it can contain things that could slow your progress. But to eliminate that concern, I would suggest kicking your exercise regime up a notch and swap your walking for jogging. You will burn a lot more calories in the same amount of time, and you’ll lose a ton of weight really quickly. Walking and bar method are good, but too low impact for someone your age. Jogging/Running combined with yoga will get you into “Alexis shape” in no time. Good luck!
Really? A turkey burger over salad? Really? And the fake smile. Wow. Alexis looks quite interesting dressed for work like that. I have serious doubts about this show you’ll be doing. The radio’s great, but, sounds like overkill to me. Sounds like you’re falling into the the “too much of a good thing” trap. Regardless, good luck. we’ll be watching…
I’m younger than 35, and love that song! Great reference to Jennifer, she does look mahvelous.
Jenny, Have you tried P90X? You should give it a shot. It’s rigourous but boy did it work for me. After the first two weeks I started to really enjoy myself.
Holy crap, you look fantastic. I guess I’ll put down my bag of chips and go to the gym for awhile. I’m new here – are all these jerks for real or are these ridiculous comments part of the entertainment?
Keep on walking Jenniferhutt. Jogging will wear out your knees. No need for overkill. Movement is key. The most beautiful women were the curvy film stars of the ’50’s. These skinny girl Italians and skinny girl margharita authors and talk talk talk of skinny jeans are bad for women’s health. My sister works for a skinny girl. I believe her nasty tude and mood are caused in part from her constant hunger. And she looks anything but mahvelous in a low cut top with breast bones protruding.
Everyone has been clamoring for Jennifer to blog more. So she posts a nice, newsy entry, and what does she get? A bunch of nasty, unwarranted comments from know-it-alls and haters. Jealous much, people? The ugly comments say much more about those who make them than they do about Jennifer (or Alexis, for that matter). That is why J & A don’t hesitate to post them.
Jennifer, you look terrific. Great Job! I totaly agree with Andrea’s comments. It’s ONE meal! We can’t ALWAYS be prepared, sh&t happens!
That’s a lot of food and the diet coke has a lot of sodium which causes water retention. Water would have been the sensible choice.
Jenny have you been to White Castle for their sliders? So yummy!
you look awesome . . . keep up the good work.
Jennifer,
You look gorgeous. More than your new thinner frame, it is the confidence that you have about your new body that is attractive. I am glad you are feeling motivated and excited. I wish you all the very best of luck with the new show.
Thank you for the blog. I, for one, will keep reading.
You look amazing!!!!!!!!
forgot to ask, have you tried nordic walking? looks “funny” but really pumps up the workout and is great for toning the upper arms…
STFU you idiots. Jennifer looks really good and isn’t posting some maudlin crap for a change. Leave her alone. She does not need to look or dress like Alexis. Jennifer’s style is more fun and eclectic than Alexis. Besides, Alexis body is stringy and too skinny.
You look super cute in this picture!
You wait all this time to post to your blog and it’s a picture of you eating and kvetching about being hungry and stopping for a snack? Your mind is still obsessing about food. I can see you still have a long way to go to overcome your eating issues.
I live in N. DE, so ill have to grab a girlfriend and take the train up one day………. what is the start and finish times?
Theres really nothing better than having some free time to sit and have a meal in peace……. you should try it more often.
DAMN you two are a good looking
set of females….
why is it an eating issue, because she was hungry and stopped for lunch. it astounds me the level of ignorance people will show to someone in a fruitless attempt to make them feel badly about themselves. how many of you who posted this, get hungry..what do you do when you get hungry..do you eat? i am assuuming you do since we all need to eat to survive. the girl went out for a lunch by herself which is brave to say the least, because she was hungry..she didn’t go to an all you can eat buffett and sit there for hours. the people that keep criticizing must really be unhappy with yourselves and your lives, because i am sure you go out to eat more times than not…so give the girl a break please or maybe go workout instead of sitting here typing all of your judgements about someone going for lunch for christs sake…
@mp, It’s not that she got hungry. Jen, is still quite obviously obsessed with eating and her post was almost apologetic in tone that she stopped cause she was hungry. Then she had to show us as though we need to approve or validate what she has done. As a formerly fat now skinny person, I know, cause I did/do the same thing. Her post that day could have been anything other than food related and like so many other of her posts it’s ALL about food.
