Hey Guys!
I know it's been a while since I have updated, so here goes!
I weighed in this last Thursday. Ugh. It had only been 5 days since my last weigh in and I had to weigh in at 5:30 in the evening, again. So of course their scale claimed I had gained 2 pounds. Which is false, because I weighted myself at home that morning, and it said I hadn't lost anything. That I was still at my 10 lb weight loss. So I am going with a truer weight from the morning.
So Last week, I wasn't able to exercise at all due to headaches/migraines. It was awful. I was in a lot of pain and I even had to stay home from work Wed. because of it. This week is a new week though! This past Sat and Sun were full of celebrating my birthday! I literally had a week long celebration! It was nice! This weekend I did not eat well, at all. We had PF Changs and POP.
I won't weigh in again until next Tuesday. Which in all honesty, I'm not that worried about it. I have a ton of exercise coming my way this weekend. Along with some healthy eating! This week though before the weekend I would really like to get in the work, but I have so much going on and prepping for the camping trip, that I'm going a little nuts. It shall be good. I think I need to sit and have a pep talk with myself about what I really want and what my goals are every 10 lbs.
I am feeling good, but feeling tired. The headaches are really getting to me. The migraines. Oh the migraines. I can't handle them. Just trying to stay positive. I'm drinking water like a fish and I know that I am trying my best. despite what the scale says, I know I'm bettering myself. And that my friends, is the entire point of this!
Stay motivated my friends!
Until next time......

feeling good!
Hey Guys!
So I just wanted to give you all an update!
I had to switch my weigh in days from Tuesdays at 5:30 to Sat at 8am. I did this for a couple reasons. One...You flat out weigh more in the evening than in the morning first thing. It was literally adding 2 lbs to my weight. Secondly....it's been tough going to J.C getting all my food and getting home, eating and then making it to Bible Study by 7p.m. So needless to say this past week with weighing in i had only 3 days in between. but! according to their scale, I lost 2.8 lbs! So according to their records I have lost 8 lbs. As of this morning on my scale, I have lost a total of 10 lbs. I'm excited to see what their scale tells me.
Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time in who knows how long. I did a total of 45 minutes doing cardio. And honestly....it was NOT BAD! I did 25 minutes on the elliptical, 15 min on the bike and 5 min on the stair stepper. I actually felt great being there and it made me feel good for doing something for myself. I can't wait to shed these lbs and feel like myself again.
Needless to say, baby making has been put on hold for now. We both feel it's really important for me to shed pounds and get healthy. So that is what we are focusing on now. I feel the longing and need to feel good again. I feel like it will set me back by getting pregnant right now. We want to.......trust me, we just have to do what is good for our family.
SHOUT OUT! I'm super proud of my best friend Kathy, for kicking butt and taking names! She is getting married at the end of December, and she is rocking it! Keep up the awesome work darling! We deserve this!
I am for the first time in a long time, excited about my future!

Week 2 weigh in.....
So last night I went and did my official Jenny Craig weigh in. I lost another 2.6 lbs. She also told me she is worried that I'm loosing weight to fast. I'm thinking....NO! We shall see what this week brings. I have consistently lost 9 lbs for the last 3 days. So i'm sticking with that number.
I am switching my weigh in day to Saturdays, so it will be a short week of weighing in. I'm feeling really good and know I can get a grip on my shakes and my feeling hungry. It will be a great week!

End of week 2
Well it's the end of week 2 for me on Jenny Craig, and I weigh in tonight. Let me give you so updates before we get to some of the good stuff!
Last week when I met with my consultant, she switched me down to 1500 cal per day. I was previously on 1700. I have been feeling very hungry ( but I haven't caved in, to bad. A small bowl of cereal here or there under 120 calories.) I have also been having headaches EVERYDAY! Is this supposed to happen? Where I feel hungry and experience pain because of this? Well i'm cool with feeling hungry and all, that I can deal with. After all I have go give something up in order for this process to work! But these headaches are almost as bad as migraines. Advil will NOT take them away, so I have been having to take my Imitrex and last night I caved in to taking a Vicodin before bed so i could sleep. ( Since I had had the headache since 2 that afternoon.)
I feel comfortable with talking to my gal pal (that's what I call my support lady at J.C.) about these issues and trust she will have the answer.
As of today I have lost a total of 9 lbs! I'm so happy! That is according to my scale in the morning, and with no clothes on. I actually weighed myself after I got dressed this morning and it said I only gained 1 pound. We shall see. I might have to buy a J.C. scale. I will see how much they are. I'm feeling a little discouraged already due to the fact that I weight in at 5:30 p.m. after a whole day of food filling my body and I may or may not have been able to get rid of any of it at that point. I'm going to ask if I can change my day to Saturday mornings.
No matter what, I know how much weight I have lost and most importantly, How I FEEL! Which is great! I love not feeling bloated all the time and seeing my jeans fit looser. I love that my ugly belly bulge is starting to deflate. YAY for deflation! I had in my head that loosing weight was impossible. And I firmly believed it. I knew other people can do it, but for some reason, I was not able to. I know call me crazy. It's so hard being over weight. I'm just hoping I can help motivate others to get on the bandwagon. No not everyone can do Jenny Craig, it is expensive. But, If you can start eating more fruits and veggies that is the key! I firmly believe fiber is what helps.
That's all for now, I will try and post what Jenny has for me as for as weight loss.
Thanks for the support all!
