A New Me...Coming Soon!

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...
