Before After

Have to stop for a while....

...or 10 months or so because I'm PREGNANT!!  We weren't planning on it this soon but hey... if this is something that was planned for us then we will take it. I had planned on starting to try in August and wanted to get down to my pre pregnancy weight of 175lbs before getting preggy again but hey... nothing I can do now.

Hello people

Well I'm not dead and no I have not quit JC. I've just been super busy with my little one. She is starting to crawl and not giving me ANY time to stay on the computer.

Things have been going okay.. I would like to say that I have been 100% on track but then I would be lying. Weekends are the hardest part because my hubby likes to bbq during the weekends and I know I'm over eating then. I had a bad WI a week ago but lost it all last week so this week I'm hoping to lose more and go towards my first 10lbs here pretty soon!! I only have 2.2lbs for my first goal so I'm exited.

I also discoverd a good way to get in my water... Fruit2O... LOVE IT!! I go to Costco and buy it there since it's much cheaper.

Anywho.. that's me.. I'm still here even though I will only write once in a while.

Hugs,

Week 4 starts!!

Good afternoon my good friends, how are things with you? I'm doing good... have just been busy with my little bee.. she turned 6 months on Tuesday and for some reason has been a handfull ever since.

I've been doing good since last time I worte here... sticking to the plan 100% and feeling good about my self.. at least better than last weekend. Had my weigh in today and I was -0.8lbs which is good in my books. So I've lost 7.2lbs altogether in 3 weeks.. not too bad. Now I'm focusing on losing the first 10lbs and get down to 1200 calories a day.

I was talking to my husband though over the weekend and even though we have a 6 month old daughter right now we are planning on having another one soon and probably gonna start trying in August. So I set my self a new goal... to be down to my pre pregnancy weight by then which was 175lbs. I should be able to do that right?? So I'm glad that I didn't spend money on the reward program, lol!

So I'm setting up rewards for my self for each step through this journey. For instance for the first 10lbs I'm gonna treat my self to a pedicure and a manicure. For the next 10lbs clothing spree.....and that is as far as I have gotten, lol.

Anywho... I hope you are having a good day and a good week. I probably wont be on here until after the weekend since we are going out of town tomorrow until Monday.

Hugs,

Week 3 day 5!

Thankfully today is a new day and I'm gonna forget that yesterday ever happend.
The BBQ went so so. I know I ate too much but it was all good stuff nothing bad. I had my grilled lamb and one hot dog.....like I said nothing too bad. The worst was trying to stay away from the cookies and I have to admit I let 2 of them slide down my throat. But when everyone was gone I got up and took all the extra cookies to the garbage so there would be no temptations. Like I said.. I've learned my lesson. NEVER BUY SOMETHING YOU HAVE A WEEKNESS FOR. I could have easilly rather bought sugarfree popstickls for the kiddos and next time I'll do that.

Well I still have my salad to eat and I think I'm gonna go eat that before my daughter wakes up from her nap.

Week 3 day 4: BAD DAY!!!

OH MY... I'm having a really bad day today and has been since last night. We are having a bbq today at our house and yesterday I bought something that is my biggest weakness..... chocolate cookie doug to make cookies for the guest. And I think I've eaten about 6 cookies worth of doug since last night and I just can't seem to be able to stop!!! I don't know what's wrong with me :o( I just want to lie down and cry about it but that doesn't help. But it also doesn't help thinking..."OH well.. since I've started this I just might keep on goin!!" What am I supposed to do? And then we have the bbq later on today and I didn't eat breakfast because I had a migrain... thought that was okay since then I'll be able to have more at the bbq. But now I'm starting to think if I know what I'm doing with the bbq!

I know I'm allowed 4meats, 2 starches, 1 fat and 1 veggie. So that gives me 4oz of meats, well 5 because I skipped breakfast... 4 starches.. that is equalent to what?? I know two are like 2 slices of bread.. so I can have one hamburger bun and one hotdog bun right? I have 2 fats... what do I do for them? And the veggie.. well that shouldn't be a problem!

I just don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel lost all of a sudden even though I talked this bbq over with my consultant!!!! Man I wish someone would read this in the next hour or so and give me suggestions!!

Week 3 day 3: I'm back!!!

Well we are finally moved and I have my internet back up. Wow what a relief!! We just moved from a one bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom, 1400 sq ft. townhouse with a big back yard an everything and I am just in LOVE with the house.

As far as JC then well I wasn't as good as I had hoped when we were moving. Had a couple slices of pizza and what not but tried to stick with at least everything but the dinner for what two days. Had my second weigh in Thursday and lost another 2.4lbs so I'm stoked!! 6.8 lost all together in 2 weeks!!! Couldn't be happier and am now determinde to stick with it no matter what.

I did go out to Olive Garden on Thursday though but I bough me the Dining out guide and had what they recomended there. Then we are having a bbq tomorrow but I discussed it all with my consultant and I think I know what I'm supposed to be doing with it.

Well I still have so much to do here at the new house so I'm gonna let this be it for today. I promise that I'll be more active now that my internet is back.

Week 1 almost over!

    Today is my 6th day on Jenny Craig and I am so proud of my self for many things.

First off I'm still here and still doing strong. Most of the time I had already given up by now but I haven't .

Second I've been 100% countable to the program and to my self. I have not gone off track and stuck to the food that was listed on my menu. I'm loving it.

Then I'm just in LOVE with the food, at least so far. I'm though affraid that I will get bored with it soon since I'm so easilly bored for some reason. I just have to try to find a way to spicy things up and not alwyas eat the same things. Variety is a key thing when it comes to chanings your eating habbits.

But then when I think about it I have always been stuck in a grut with what I eat. Everytime we go to Wendi's, Taco Bell, Burger King etc. I ALWAYS get the same thing...  I usually cook the same dinners week after week so why should I rather get bored with this thing than anything else. I am missing though cooking. I LOVE COOKING and not being able to cook sucks big time. And I HATE the fact that my hubby doesn't mind that I don't cook for him. I sometimes feel like I've lost my womenlyhood by stop cooking... does that make any sense???

Other than that life is good. We are getting the keys to your new place tomorrow and will start moving then. We have until Saturday afternoon to turn in the keys to our apartment so I know I won't be on here for a while. But I'm not gonna go off program.. if anything doing the microwavable food will be so much easier than having to move and to cook also, lol!!

And I have to admitt... it's so handy and easy to do when you have an infant. I always feel like I'm feeding her and then find no time to make my self anything and therfore I used to go to the fast food places to eat because that was just way easier. But now I just put the food in the microwave while  I feed  my daughter and by the time I'm done the food is cooked and has cooled down a bit... couldn't be easier.

Fighting temptations!!

    uffff... I am having a hard night tonight. I am so hungry since I ate my dinner early and all I want is something sweet and jucie!!! My stomach is crawling for something sweet or should I say my head is. I know my stomach doesn't NEED it nor do I but it is taking over my mind this evening. Hopefully the strawberries that I am supposed to eat  tonight will help a little. Plus my hubby is making sugar free cherry jello which I usually don't like but HECK I might when I'm feeling this way. I just don't want to fall into temptations like I usually do!!!

    I do like the fact that I am knowledging it and not just go ahead and get something to eat. I mean my hubby has been SOO good today finishing up some candy we had here. I MADE him go to the store on Tuesday when Aunty Flow came for a visit and buy dark choclate. And now all day he was been eating it for me. I didn't ask him but when I asked why he was eating it all he said he didn't want me to fall of the horse so that's why. He's so sweet and supportive.

    I am just gonna go and drink a bottle of water, eat some strawberries and maybe have some jello since it's a free food.
