Just a quick update!
I made my St. Patrick's day goal of losing 20 pounds by St. Patricks day. My new goal is to lose 30 by June 13 (my birthday). That will be a total of 50 pounds since I started on January 1st. Wish me luck.
I haven't gone to Jenny Craig to weigh in for two weeks now. I have been weighing in at home with a scale I bought from Jenny Craig and weighs the same as at their center. I didn't record my weight last week because I was up a bit and didn't want to face it. I worked hard this week though and managed to bring my weight back down and have lost 2.4. That leaves me a simple .4 to lose to make my St. Patricks day goal! yay!
The only bad part is that TOM is right around the corner and that always seems to mess me up! I've got 9 days to lose .4 so even if I go up a bit, it shouldn't be too hard to lose in 9 days. I hope I do it!
After this, I'm going to try to lose another 30 by June 13. That's about 10 pounds a month. I'm realizing that is a bit unrealistic now. I was actually looking to lose a total of 50 by June and thought I would have lost more than 19 by this point. a -50 would be nice for my birthday, but anything that isn't a gain is fine with me!

Let me start off by letting out a big sigh of relief... *ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
I was really worried about today's weigh-in. I hadn't gone to the gym as much as I should have and my eating wasn't something to brag about either. BUT, having spent the last 5 weeks dieting, I've been more aware of myself and what I put into my body so I although I "cheated" a lot, I probably still ate less than I used to. Also, even though I didn't go to the gym as many times as I had been, I did invest in a wii fit on Monday and have spent a good amount of time working on the aerobic and balance activities. To be completely honest, they had me really huffing and puffing, which means I had to have been burning some calories.
I stepped on the scale this morning at my JC center and was happy/shocked/relieved. I lost 2.2 this week which has me at a total of 15 pounds lost! That's pretty good for 5 weeks!
I walked into my Jenny Craig center this afternoon telling myself that I just need to suck it up and face the music when I stepped on that scale. I've been off the program all week (with the exception of healthy breakfasts, getting all the water in and a couple OK lunches). I don't want to use TOM as an excuse, but I've wanted to eat everything in sight. I've done a lot of snacking and eating high calorie dinners. I'm really going to have to work on this and learn how to resist temptations.
The good news is I didn't gain any weight. The bad news is that I didn't lose any either. Maintaining is fine with me knowing how bad I was this week.
I'm recommited though. I'm going to follow my diet this week and work out as much as possible, at least 3 times this week. I'll be at my water aerobics class on Tuesday night and will be doing a lot of cardio via the treadmill. I'd also like to start using the weight machines, I just don't really know where to start.
I also got a Wii this week. My arm was sore after a night of playing tennis and baseball, haha. I think I'll get a Wii fit for my 20lb loss reward or just hold out and hope that I get it for my birthday. ha.
Tomorrow is my second weigh in. I'd love to have a 2.4 loss so I can say I've lost my first 10 pounds, but I'm worried that won't be the case. I don't want to use TOM as an excuse but it's close to that time and all I want to do is eat and on top of that I'm getting the usual head and body aches. This is only the first one since I made the choice to make a change in my lifestyle. I hope and know that TOM will get easier to manage, cope with and lose weight regardless of as more time goes by. I do want to do my water aerobics class and it looks like I'll have to miss out on it. :(
