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!

Week 1 Weight Loss
Well....I did it! I lost 2.6 pounds! It was such an amazing feeling I even squealed on the scale! lol. It was such an amazing feeling.
Yesterday was Admin appreciation day, and surprise! I was taken out to lunch. Oh my gosh..my whole world was shaken. I didn't know what to do. I felt helpless. But then I remembered what my "On Your Own" table says for lunches. I didn't do as well as I hoped, but I did a lot better than I normally would have. I got an omelet that had chili and cheese on it. I only ate half. So there was my 2 meats. I had whole wheat toast. (next time I will ask them to only give me on piece, because I ate all of it.) There was my starch +1. I also asked for fruit instead of potatoes. I ate all the pineapple. I was supposed to have a veggie, but I had a pretty large salad for dinner.
Over all yesterday was NOT a set back. It was just learning how to eat on my own. I think I could have made a better choice in what I was eating, but I think it also depends on where you go. We went to Kara's Korner, and its just really good food that is bad for you. Our office LOVES that place! They have the best clam chowder! But I need to learn what I can and can't eat there. I felt pretty awe-full physically after I ate. I ate way to much, felt it for the rest of the afternoon. I couldn't wait to go walking when I got home, and we did. It even started to rain! It was lovely.
I'm excited for this week to see how much I will loose. I'm on a 1500 cal diet this week, instead of 1700. It's not a lot, but I know I can do it. It will be just fine. I am learning to become a book worm and I actually really enjoy it! I don't snack while I read, I'm too consumed in my book.
I'm already coming away with so many great things I have learned and what life style changes I am going to make when I'm off of Jenny Craig. I'm actually excited because I feel like I have useful tools! I understand what I am meant to do and how I am supposed to feel after I eat. It's great!
Thanks for keeping up!

Jenny Craig....End of week 1
Sooo, I have survived my first week on Jenny Craig! Woo hoo! First victory! I have a few so I will list them accordingly!
- Made it through the week!
- Learned about portion control!
- Ate a ton of fruits and veggies and now know what I really should be eating!
- I have managed to stay out of my head and just dug in deep!
- I survived a weekend out of town, with my food! (Biggest victory!)
I am so happy. Tonight I weigh in for the first week. I don't feel like I have lost weight, but I am feeling so much better! I have been prepping myself all day that if I don't loose weight, I have so many awesome things I have come away with this week. I have NOT exercised at all this week, so this next week will be full of it! My Jenny Craig weeks start on Tuesdays, because that is when I first started and weighed in.
Justin has been the biggest support to me! He encourages me daily and asks how the food was that day. I really appreciate him.
I feel like I'm finally grasping a hold on what I need to fuel my body right. It's a good feeling compared to where I felt so lost, I didn't know where to start. My goal is 20 pounds with Jenny Craig. After that, I feel like I will be able to achieve it on my own. That is a good feeling. I know what foods work for me. I am no longer afraid of low-fat foods, and I finally feel a feeling of strength of myself to make better choices. For that, I'm forever grateful to my mom for helping me!

Day 2
Hey All!
I'm currently on day two of Jenny Craig, and I have to say.....I am pleasantly surprised! It has been easy peasy. I don't feel hungry or shaky, and I feel satisfied. The food has been really really good. Yesterday here's what was on the menu:
Morning: Egg and ham stuffed Sandwich
1 Fruit
1 Cup soy milk ( Dairy kinda irritates my system, actually a lot, so the less I intake is better)
1/2 Cup of cottage cheese
Snack: 1 Fruit
1 Anytime peanut butter and chocolate bar
Lunch: Pizza
Salad with Jenny Balsamic dressing
Snack: 2 Fruits
6 oz. nonfat yogurt
Dinner: Mesquite chicken with potatoes and broccoli
Veggie Minestrone soup
1 1/2 cups veggies with margarine ( I used grape seed oil in lieu b/c i hate margarine)
Snack: Cheddar Popcorn ( i could only eat a little bit, i just wasn't hungry)
2 tablespoons of Almonds (which is about 6 nuts)
So that was my day along with 64 oz of water! I did it just fine! For all of you who know me, I LOATH water..I just can't drink it... I have no problems yesterday! so yay success!
Today so far, has been great!
Morning: Blueberry Mini Loaf
1 fruit
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup cottage cheese
It was so yummy! I just can't get over it! I'm about to eat my morning snack, its always the same. A bar and a piece of fruit. Very satisfying.
I think i have finally hopeful for the first time of being on any kind of diet. I need to start incorporating exercise, this week has been crazy busy. Between 2 bible studies and doing hair, laundry and everything else. I need to start finding time to work out.. meaning walk. I have decided i will do walking and weights. I will either take my weights walking with me or I will do them after my walk.
For now enjoy one of my favorite songs done by Pentatonix!
