Still hanging in after the first month

I hit a few stumbles at the end of the summer doing Jenny Craig. I found myself stuck at picnics or the beach without any good food choices. Beach salads are pretty gross.

I decided to treat Labor Day kind of like a new year’s. I’m down about ten- and hope to get crackin’ in September.

Week 2; Moving along

Week 2 of Jenny Craig didn’t bring quite as much success…only 1 pound lost.

I attribute it to such a big loss in the first week; it kind of spread me out. So technically, I’ve lost 7 pounds in two weeks, which is excellent.

Week 3 will be important to see the scale move again.

One week down; 6 Pounds Gone!

I had my first official weigh-in at the Jenny Craig center and I’ve officially lost 6 pounds! Now I know whenever you start a new diet the first few pounds are basically water weight, etc. But I’m not going to lie, it felt great to see the scale move.

I’m on week two and I do find myself somewhat unsatisfied by the food. Mostly because I’m used to eating so much more. The portions take some time to get used to.

I just got an invitation to a cousin’s wedding in November, so I have my first revelation goal. What fun it would be to shop in a ‘normal’ store for a dress for the wedding. Imagine the surprise of family who last saw me in my heavyweight range.

More to come!

Two days on diet and hanging in there

Last night was the first of many challenges on Jenny Craig. I packed my lunch for work but didn’t plan ahead for dinner.

My family decided to pick me up at work and head to the esplanade to watch the free Friday night flick. Great plan…but what was I going to eat for dinner?

Hubby ordered a pizza for everyone else to have a picnic at the park. I snagged a salad at a nearby bagel shop (no cheese or croutons) and was surprised at how full I was. Because I didn’t have a meal with me, I had the smallest piece of pizza on the pie- hopefully the caloric equivalent to a JC meal.

The scale will tell me soon, my first weigh-in is Sunday!

Now we’re off to an amusement park today. Diving head first into the deep end with challenges. Must stay away from fried dough, must stay away from fried dough…
