Good Saturday Morning

Good morning to all my friends! I had my first weigh in and they were pleasantly surprised at my loss my first week. So that was all good! I talked with them about my outing tonight and how to avoid sabotaging all my hard work. My husband and a good friend are playing at our favorite italian place tonight. They have a wonderful salmon salad there that is very low cal so I can definitely have that. Just have to plan the wine into my day. Im pretty sure I can do it! I upload a few videos to youtube of my husband playing the other night with our friend, Tim. It turned out pretty good. Here's the link if anyone wants to see. My husband is the dark haired one on the left. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd1RZlvWdiQ

I am down 10 lbs!!!

Thanks to my friends here for their support and encouraging words. I resisted temptation last night and am down to a 10 lb weight loss!! WOO HOO!!!!

One week down. I am ready for this!

I'm starving tonight

I stayed on target all day but for some reason tonight I am starving. I just finished my Jenny Craig snack and some water but I want to start shoving stuff in my mouth! Ok remind me again why Im doing this??? Oh yeah....to be healthy, feel better about myself and not look like a cow!!! Oh damn this is not as easy as I thought.

Im really proud of myself

Ok not only have I stayed on track for 6 days now, I went to this wine tasting place tonight to watch my husband and a friend play music and I drank nothing! No wine, nothing. I really don't want to sabotage myself just yet so I visited with friends, listened to some great music and videotaped them. Normally I would have had some wine, cheese and crackers. I know I probably could have had a glass of wine and skipped my snack tonight but decided against it. I will be uploading sometime this week to youtube. I'm really proud of myself this week!

What I hate most

Ok what I hate most about this journey is my constant need to pee! I don't mind drinking the water if I could forgoe having to pee every 5 minutes! It's like I pee before leaving work and by the time I get home I think I'm gonna wet myself! Jesus! Ok well today was good. I stayed on track again and did my walking at lunch. When I got home I really wanted to snack. Partly because thats the time of day I would literally shove anything and everything into my mouth. So I chose a few carrots to munch on, drank some water and the feeling went away. Could it really be that easy? Of course not. Then I wouldn't be in this fat old lady's body I have at this moment. I'm not really sure how that came to be. It's like I woke up and someone had played this cruel joke on me. I have my mothers body! I don't want it. Take it back! My butt sags, along with my boobs. My belly hangs down. How disgusting is that????? Bellys should not hang! Ok not looking back anymore. Looking forward to the future. When everything does not hang....or at least not as much!

Good Morning

Starting day 5 and I am ready to go! It's 5 am and Im headed out to work but wanted to just jot down a little something this morning. I am feeling really good this morning about my program. My allergies are killing me this morning though. Damn spring fever! I almosst look forward to freezong my ass off in the operating room! HA HA Good Tesday morning to everyone!

I am sooo jazzed

Ok, day 4 just about down and I stayed 100% on track! I even walked on my lunchbreak today!! I got on the scale this morning and I am 7 lbs down since starting on Friday. Ok ok I know this is my inital "water" weight but I am still jazzed! This is not going to be difficult if I can just stay focused and motivated!!

The weekends over

It's 930 on Sunday night and I'm winding down and thought I would reflect on what I accomplished this weekend.

I stayed on target with JC since Friday when I started so that is a huge plus!

I got most of the things I wanted to do around the house done this weekend. The weather was a bit cool so I didn't wash the dogs (which they need desperately) but I did whack all the weeds in the backyard and got all my housework done.

Tomorrow starts another work week and that means my goal for this week is to walk for 20 minutes on my lunch break everyday.

I weigh in at JC on Saturday. My first official weigh in,

I'm hoping my best  friend comes up to visit next weekend but if she does, that means Antonio's Restaurant on Saturday which could definitely be a challenge. I will have to really be careful.

Anyway I'm pleased with staying on track this weekend.

"Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!"

the beginning

I have made the first steps in this journey. I think it started the beginning of this year when I decided to quit smoking. I did that 1/1/07 and then turned 45 in Feb and took a good hard look at my life. I hated my size. I hated the fact that I couldn't wear the things I wanted and just felt awful about myself. Then this past Friday, I started Jenny Craig. I am determined to lose 75 lbs and look and feel better. These first few days are the hardest I think. When I get into the swing of it, the lbs will just fall off!! I can do this! Mo
