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 7^th 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!

Camping, Walking and the Scale

Let’s start with the positives-
Camping went awesome! My planned Jenny Craig menu fit in easily! No one really noticed I was doing anything different. It felt great to stick to my plan!
This week my Jenny Craig consultant and I talked about making walking a priority. I was able to do 6 walks! It felt great! It definitely it gave me a boost in energy and mood to just get out so often!!! I want to keep it up!

In the end this week I was a bit disappointed. I had a great week following my plan despite challenges and increased my activity but the scale did not show my effort. I lost 0.4lbs =190.0, total weight loss of 14.9lbs. Now I do know that last weeks 2.9lb drop was a big loss and sometimes the body balances out with a smaller drop the next week. Even though I knew this it was still not what I wanted to see.

My Jenny Craig consultant was great and helped encourage me to keep doing what I am doing and the results will follow. We celebrated that it has been 8 weeks and I have lost weight each and every week. That is really motivating! I am ready for a new week with my healthy and active lifestyle. I know I can do it!!

I can’t wait to reach my next milestone - another 10lbs!!! I know it is right around the corner and I hope to share it with everyone soon!!!

Great week and can't wait to see Next week!!!

Okay well this week had its own challenges -24hr flu, 4month immunizations and company over the weekend -but with my plans all set out with my Jenny Craig consultant I made it through and feel successful!!!

This week I weigh 190.4!! So close to being out of the 190s! I am can’t wait to see the 180s next week!!!! I lost 2.9lbs in 8days. It was so great to see such a good drop when it was a challenging week. My total weight loss is now 14.5lbs and it is so close to my first goal of 20lbs! I am really starting to feel it! I feel so much more energy, my clothes are fitting looser and it is easier to move around with my little one!

I did get in 2 good walks and 1 short walk this week. I think they do help make a difference in my results and how I feel. I hope to get in more walks this week now that I am finding a routine.

In my Jenny Craig consultation this week my consultant and I made special plans for my camping trip this weekend. I made sure to have my favourite meals that will be good over the fire and salty snacks to curb any snack cravings. I feel prepared for it and am determined to see the 180s next week and my 20lbs goal in 3 weeks! I know I can do it!

Time to get Creative!

This week has been really tough with my little one still not sleeping great. That means I didn’t sleep great. Whenever my sleep is lacking I am hungrier throughout the day --my Jenny Craig Consultant explained that it is my body’s way of trying to keep me alert or get energy.

   What really helped was getting creative with my veggie sides with all my meals. My Jenny Craig consultant has worked with me on creative meal ideas to help. She had reminded me that half of my plate should be vegetables which I have read in many sources in the past. So I steamed, sautéed, cut up, ate raw, mixed in with my meal and made salads. I find that the more that I vary my choices the more appealing my veggie sides are. Plus it much more fun to be creative versus eating the same thing day after day. It also helps that the Jenny Craig menus don’t repeat any foods through the week. Everyday is different and not as boring as the easy go to choices or leftovers I used to end up eating regularly.

I lost 1.3lbs in 6days. My new total is 11.6lbs! J My goal is to be at my Goal of 20lbs lost by the beginning of August! To help boost results I am gonna try to get out and walk this week!

Down 10lbs and feeling great!

 Woohoo!!!! 5 weeks on Jenny Craig and I am at 194.6lbs= down 10.3lbs and 4.5 inches! I am feeling more energetic and definitely feel a bit smaller! Yay!

Last week I am most proud about sticking to my menu as planned with my consultant. I didn’t have any challenges or plans to start the week but two came up unexpectedly. First challenge was when I was to spend the day at a friends house. I just decided to pack everything I needed for the day and was able to stick to my Jenny Craig plan. My friend is very supportive and it was easy to do. The next challenge was a movie night. That was tricky! Right away I knew I didn’t want to have the popcorn if I could help it because it is not good for you and so high in fats and calories. To make it easier to get through it I had a late supper with lots of veggies so wasn’t hungry when I went and I reminded myself that I really wanted to see the 10lbs result this week. In the end I wasn’t even tempted and even brought home popcorn for my partner. Discussing and setting my weight loss goals with my Jenny Craig consultant really made a difference this week. I knew I really wanted to get to 10lbs this week and not put it off to happen 1 or 2 weeks later. It would have been easy to give in to temptation if I didn’t feel so motivated!

I am halfway to my first goal already and feel fabulous! I can’t wait to get out of the 190’s! Only 2-3 weeks of dedicating myself and I will be there! This is so easy!
