More than 'alive'...
..... and this time, I think I'm actually "BACK."
After my weeks of plateau, followed by weeks of "off-plan" eating and no exercise, I woke up on Monday morning with a desire to move. So, despite the fact that it would cause me to be late for a shopping date with my sister, I hopped on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Then, yesterday, I went to Jazzercise and in the middle of the 2nd routine, thought, " Oh, yeah... this is why I started coming here - it's fun!"
My eating has been spot on for the past few days and will be tomorrow as well since it's a weigh-in day. This weekend will be another story, though, because my hubby & I will be celebrating our 15th anniversary at a bed & breakfast in Fredericksburg. We'll get in some exercise by hiking at Enchanted Rock on Saturday afternoon, but I'm positive that celebratory eating will handily cancel out any exercise I get in. C'est la vie!
Oh, yes.. and somehow I was able to work out some negative emotions by whining to my JC counselor last week. She helped me to put the plateau issue back into perspective....and that has motivated me to push forward. Yay!! Besides that, I've been more open with work colleagues about how I've lost weight and I really would like to be a good "advertisement" for Jenny Craig. So, if I want the program to work, I've got to work the program. If I don't do my part, people will think the JC plan is a failure... when really it could just be me failing myself.
Okie dokie, I'm off to check on you gals. I don't think I'll post again until next week, so have a great weekend!!
