Catching up

It's been awhile since I last posted. I just thought I would pop my head in for a sec. I'm on vacation so I have been trying to relax as much as possible. My weigh in is today. I only need to lose 2.8 lbs to reach halfway. I'm crossing my fingers. Yes, I splurged a little this week, but who doesn't on their vacation? I did it all within reason though. I didn't go over board. Heck... I could have went to Dairy Queen everyday or had elephant ears on the 4th, but I didn't. I actually didn't want it. Before JC I wouldn't have hesitated. My hubby still feels bad when he goes and he just doesn't get it. It doesn't bother me anymore. Hopefully he will learn soon.

Anyway, I will stop by again later after the weigh in. I'm crossing my fingers.

Almost there...

I was just thinking about this the other day. I'm almost to my halfway point. It's amazing how fast it has gone. When I first started Jenny Craig I wanted to lose 100 lbs, but in the back of my mind I was thinking "there is no way I can do this." Now that I have gotten closer to my halfway, my thinking is different. I can do this! I will do this! I need to do this! Everyone around me has noticed and are completely amazed with how much different my body looks. I see it, but I guess not as much as they do. I still have a long ways to go, but at least now I think I can do it. I am just so glad I have support and help. Jenny Craig has made a huge change for me and I owe it all to them. I can't wait to be skinny. I never have been and I want to know how it feels just for once in my life.

WOW!!

Today was the field trip with my son. We had fun. Got a lot of walking out of it. 7 miles!

I had my weigh in today. Get ready for this.... down 5.5 pounds. I about fell over when I saw that. It feels amazing to still be losing like that after 14 weeks of dieting. I am almost to my halfway goal. I feel so great. At least I am able to say that I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I  haven't been to that point in over 3 years. It feels great!

I must go for now, but I will be back soon.

Still losin

Just thought I would stop in and leave a little note. I am still doing fairly well. Still on the Jenny Craig plan. I am now down almost 39 lbs. I'm getting closer to my halfway mark! I go in again on Friday to weigh like usual so we will see the true numbers then. I am going on a zoo field trip on Friday with my oldest son. It will be about 70 degrees that day so it will perfect for walking all day.  I have been trying to get out a little more and do some walking or bike riding, but its so hard with the busy life that I have.

I must go for now, but I will try to post again sometime soon and hopefully the numbers will be better next time.

Feeling a little off

Today is just one of those day where I want to munch all day. I have done ok though. I munched on some pineapple, then later I had a whole wheat english muffin with lite jam on it. I still want more. So here I am. I want to get it out and maybe I will be able to fight the urges off better.

I finally got a picture of me on here. It's not the greatest one. I usually look better than that, but all you moms know what its like right after you have a baby. Let alone a C-section like I had. It's 3 days after I had my yougest son. He is 2 now. Since I had him (before Jenny Craig) I gained 30 more pounds to whopping 270.8. I am down 36 pounds now in only 12 weeks! All I can say is that I look better than that picture, but that's all I have. I'm the one behind the camera all the time.

That's all for now. I need to figure out how to get some friends around here. I don't know what I am doing yet. Feel free to leave me some advice on how to get some people to say hello to. I need all the support I can get. Also, if anyone could help me, I can't get a link posted on my Jenny Craig message boards. It never works for me. Help...

Much love and keep shrinkin!!

Bad Feeling

I have a bad feeling about my wiegh in on Friday. Its been hot the last couple of days and the water is sticking to me like glue. I'm starting to feel like a balloon. I just dread seeing that scale go in an upward direction. It almost scares me. I know that sounds rediculous, but everytime I have started gaining the weight back in previuos diets I tend to give up or cheat just becuase I have already done poorly. I don't even care if its just a little bit, I just want that scale to go down.

I will keep my fingers crossed.

Feels like Monday

Well the holiday is over and I'm back to the daily grind. It feels like it should be Monday, but it's Tuesday. I'm fighting the urges to eat "outside the box."  I just want to endulge in all the no-no's. I can do this though. I will manage. I get my cheesecake tonight so I guess that will have to do.

I just hope I can get out of this funk. I don't want to sabotage my wiegh in on Friday. I want to lose lose lose.

Not much else to say today... I need to go to the dredded kitchen and make the boys some dinner.

I can do this!!! I know it!!!

Another day's success

Today was a good day so far. I have had a hard time this week with wild cravings, but I have managed to fight them off. I just need to work on my will power.

Yesterday I wen on a bike ride. Its the first time in 10 years that I have been on a bike! Needless to say my rear end hurts. Those seats are not made for people with a larger toosh.  I will avoid the bike for a frew days, but I will do it again. It was find and I didn't realize that we went 7 miles.

Stress in on the high side. My little one is fully in the terrible 2 stage. If he doesn't get what he wants he throws a fit. On top of that my older son continues to have problems at school. I know I am only begining, but I don't know how much more I can take. I feel like I am on my last nerve. My hubby works long hours so it tends to feel like I am a single mother sometimes. I just don't know what to do at the moment. I feel so strung out. On top of it all I am trying to find another job since my current one doesn't look like its going to last much longer. Our company is going down quick.

I'm sure tomorrow will be better. At least I hope so. It's just been a rough spot lately and I am just trying to hold it together.

Rough Day

Well today was a rough one. I know that everyone has one of these days, but I feel icky now. Anything that was chcoloate in this house found its way to my mouth. Luckily the only thing that I had was suger free pudding cups. But I had 2. The peanut butter was calling my name also. I know it's only Monday, but I feel so guilty that I ate all those things that I wasn't supposed to. I didn't go was over board, but I just couldn't help having just a little.

Tomorrow is a new day and I will stay on track. I don't want to blow my great path now. I have gone 10 weeks on the program and lost each week. I don't want to gain any. It would be devastating to me. I am really hard on myself. I have struggled all my life with my wieght and now I won't let myself live it down.  Being only 26 I need to change the way my life is going and now is my chance. There are only two people close to me that support me and I desparately need that. My own parents don't even support what I am doing. My hubby and my mother in law are the ones that are there for me. I need to do this. I have to do this! If I don't I will die too young and I can't do that to my 2 little boys.

Wish me luck and I hope the rest of the week is easier.
