It's Getting Easier

Yesterday I made it through day two.  Although I was still hungry, it wasn't as bad as the day before.  I hope I can get to the point where I am not contsantly thinking about the clock and what I am suppossed to eat.  I'm sure soon the plan will become habit, and I won't have to put as much thought into it.  I was going to walk yesterday during lunch but we had an early release day so my schedule was different.  When I got home, it was too dark and cold to walk, so I put on my IPOD and danced for about 20 minutes.  It was really fun.  I stayed in the family room with the rest of my family (I'm very social and perfer not to be alone).  Every once in awhile my 12 year old daughter Maddison would look at me and shake her head, but then she would smile and try to figure out what I was listening to.  It was really fun and I will probably do this more.

Eating today is going to be more challenging.  I am going with my son to his freshman orientation.  I can't believe I have a child in college.  Anyway, it lasts through my snack and lunch time (sounds like I'm in preschool).  I plan on bringing the JC snack bar (that shouldn't be hard to eat during the tour) and keeping my lunch in the car so I can eat right when it is over.  I thought I would just switch out lunches (some are frozen, some are not) but I decided I better follow the whole day that has the non frozen lunch. 

It's nice to still be motivated.  I look forward to my first WI on Monday.  I really want to lose more than 2 ponds, but anything will be a victory.

Day One with Students Day Two With JC

I completed my first day with Jenny Craig yesterday.  The day was great, the evening was HARD.  The food tastes really good.  It was actually better than I expected but I was really hungry last night.  I ended up going to bed early.  I was happy that I did not cheat, even though I wanted to.  I walked at lunch and didn't want to undo that.  Today the real fun begins because my students come back.  The only time that I have to eat during class is in the morning and I have a refridgerator in my room, so that shouldn't be a big deal.

Welcome Back

New Years Eve

I started my day at church this morning.  While there, I was filled with hope.  It feels like 2007 is going to be a year of change for me and I am excited.  After church, I went to the store today to buy my food.  I am really looking forward to Tuesday (when I start following Jenny Craig).  I must admit I am still a little scared since I have tried soooooo many times to loose weight.  I hope this will be different.  I am not telling anyone except my husband and children (and anyone who happens upon this site).  I decided to post my picture even though I said yesterday that I wouldn't.  I can't wait to post a second one of a healthier, skinnier me.

Something funny.  I went to JC to buy my food yesterday and even though I haven't started yet, I lost 2 lbs.  I'm sure it was due to the time of day.  (The first time I was there, it was in the evening and yesterday, it was before lunch).  I'm still going to claim it though.

Two days before I begin

On Tuesday, I will try (again) to shed my unwanted pounds.  I am a little (OK a lot) nervous that I will fail yet again.  I am lucky to have a husband who loves me just the way I am.  I really want to do this for me.  I am tired of being the fat one, even though my friends do not treat me any differently.  I won't be posting any pictures for a while, but hopefully in a few months, you'll see the new and improved me.
