Holiday Challenges week 1

So  far it has gone really well while out of town.  I have been staying with family and they are very supportive with my weight loss plan. Having lots of veggies available with every meal has really helped.  Plus staying in to eat versus eating out has allowed me to either eat my Jenny Craig meal as planned or have a sensible portion. A big win for me was not having any dessert with my meal.  If I really wanted a portion I knew I could save it and have it for my evening snack but by then I wanted my Jenny Craig cheese curls or bruschetta chips instead. With adding in walks my effort and choices have paid off!  On the scale here I lost 3lbs.

I had a great phone consultation with my Jenny Craig consultant.  She helped me setup my plan for the rest of my trip and gave me good tips to use when eating out.  It really helped me to focus on my goals and it felt good to talk to someone who really understood the challenges I was having.

 I know the next leg of my journey will be abit more challenging but I hope my jumpstart will help keep the monentum going.  We are off to visit more family and friends in Manitoba.  I think we will have more eating out so it will be especially important to make careful choices and fit in my Jenny Craig meals whenever possible to offset and create a balance. I hope with adding in walks I will be able to at least maintain where I am at to still see a net weightloss for my holidays. I would rather be sensible and practice healthy choices instead of creating more work for myself.

And the Results are in!

I was nervous to see the scale this week. After a big drop last week and a typical eventful short week I had no idea what to expect. 184.9lbs!!! I am down 1.9lbs this week!!!! In only 10 weeks 20.2lbs and 15.5 inches are gone!!! Such a perfect way to end off before holidays!


   


Surprisingly I don’t even feel like I’ve been trying - the Jenny Craig food has been so easy and tastes great! My favorites are the red velvet cupcakes, parmesan pollock, chicken sandwich and florentine breakfast pizzas. Losing weight with the Jenny Craig menus and the support of my Jenny Craig consultant is going so well which is why I am definitely going to keep going. I know as soon as I am faced with a challenge that isn’t part of my routine, my consultant will continue to be there for the rescue!!!

I am off on holidays for the next 2.5 weeks. I will blog when I get a chance. I am planning to have phone consultations while I am away to help keep my goals in mind and keep me motivated!

I am so close!!!!!

Wow what a great week!!! I walked 5x, had a meal out with family and stuck to my Jenny Craig plan. At first sticking to it seemed a bit challenging after not seeing the scale change much last week but with the support of my Jenny Craig consultant explaining that it was a normal reaction by my body and wanting to see (and FEEL) my next milestone I kept at it! When I stepped on the scale this week I wasn’t sure what to expect but was thrilled to not only see the 180s but also got past the weight I was at right after Zach was born. My new number is 186.6lbs!!!! I lost 3.4lbs this week!!! Total is 18.3lbs!!! It seems my body has a new pattern of having bigger drops one week and smaller the next.

Here is the crunch time -I leave for holidays on Aug 7th and I would love be at my next milestone. This means I have 1.7lbs to lose in 5 days. My Jenny Craig consultant and I discussed the ways in which I can maximize weight loss to get the results I am looking for. Step 1-stick to my Jenny Craig menu as closely as possible.

Step 2- daily activity ---if possible increase/change to challenge my body more

Step 3- get in plenty of water and rest

As I start packing for holidays I am pretty excited to be able to wear some clothes that didn’t fit in June. They say 10lbs is a dress size and so I am almost down 2 dress sizes!!! It feels great to get into smaller sizes and have so much more energy! Now I know my end goal is not going to be at 20lbs but when I get to this goal it will feel very rewarding. 20lbs is a big deal and if I can do it anyone can! Call Jenny Craig today and join me in my journey!
