After I got back from vacation and I was looking through all these pictures and I was so disappointed by the way I looked. I guess pictures don't lie. I looked so FAT!!!. I know I had gain weight but sometimes you don't notice until you see pictures of yourself or worse yet, videos!!! So I decided to do something about it. The problem is, I know what to do, watch what you eat and exercise, which is always easier said than done. I just needed more help. So I decided to join Jenny Craig. I was very inspired by Valerie Bertinelli. She lost 40 pounds with Jenny Craig. I just watched all her blog videos and read her blogs on her journey of loosing all this weight. I thought if she can do it, I can do it!! She looks great. Of course, I would love to look like she did in that bikini commercial, but that's not my ultimate goal. I just want to feel better about the way I look and feel better in my clothes. I've always had a struggle with the way I look, I'm tired of struggling. I love food, and really hate to exercise, but that's going to change.
I've been on Jenny Craig for one week, and I weighed in this morning and I've lost 2 pounds. I was hoping for more but then I realized I wasn't following the plan like I should. I thought I could mix up the meals for the week, but found out that I needed to eat the meal plan for that particular day. Ok, now I know, and I still lost 2 pounds! This next week will be somewhat of a challenge because we are going camping. Actually I think it will be better than I think because I'm not going to bring a lot of junk food to tempt me and I usually do a lot of walking when we are at the beach. The only thing is I like to have my margarita when I'm laying out at the beach. I'll bring my Jenny food, which I love, it's really delicious and I do not feel deprived or ever feel hungry. I just need to figure out what Tom will eat. He is very supportive, which is huge. This is a big investment for me. I usually don't spend money on myself like this, but I feel like I need to do this.
I'm going to blog on my journey, which is another huge thing for me because I feel like this is really personal but I'm going to do it. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. I love the motto Jenny Craig has and it's: Progress not Perfection.
Well, until next time...
I really like this one...
It's known as Chipmunk Rock. It's near Breckenridge, Co and over looks beautiful Lake Dillon. Bring plenty of sunflower seeds and the chipmunks literally eat out your hands. It was so much fun!
