29 luglio Splurging on vacation without leaving my brain at home.
During week 4 of my Jenny Craig program, came my 20th anniversary getaway with my husband. This is something that I had thought carefully about and planned some meals on my own with my consultant. Nevertheless, I was a little concerned that I would mess up and lose ground with the progress that I have made. My husband and I went to Sunriver and we rode bicycles wherever we went, went swimming every day and went canoeing on the river. We had so much fun! Plenty of exercise and rest. Now, as far as my food, I ate most meals from Jenny Craig's program, but I did allow myself to vary on occasion. This trip was a big deal for us; a total celebration. I did not want to feel deprived and yet I didn't want a big setback. So there was a balancing act to contend with. When I did eat out, I split my meals with Chris, tried to fill up on veggies before starting in on my main course. For the past few weeks, I have craved avocado desperately so we went out to a Mexican dinner. I had fajitas so that I wouldn't be eating something smothered in cheese and my big splurge was chips and guacamole! It was sooooo delicious. I ate slowly and savored each bite- eating a smaller portion than I would have before. My other splurge was an ice cream cone on the last day. I sat in the hot sun and enjoyed my cone for all it was worth. Then, when our trip was over, I was right back on program as if nothing had happened. This wasn't a failure or a breakdown of willpower. This was a planned event and I splurged within reason, at the same time upping my activity level. I checked in with Jenny Craig today, fully expecting to be pleased for maintaining, not actually losing. To my surprise, I found that I had lost 3.6 pounds and another inch! I actually gained some in my calves from all of the bikeriding! I can live with that... 09 luglio Spring 2009 HighlightsHere's a little clip from Jennifer's 12th birthday:
Chris wanted to go racing for Father's Day weekend. It was his first time out for a main event since the kids were babies. He did great. Took 3rd!
Then we kicked off summer with Vacation Bible School. My niece, Ashlie and my daughter, Jennifer helped lead the worship songs every night with Lynn. Lynn choreographed the songs herself and did an amazing job!
My First Week of Jenny CraigMy first week of being on the Jenny Craig plan was a great success. The food was great. There was only one meal that I didn't like-the Breakfast Scramble. The good thing is that I can pick and choose what meals I want for the week. My favorite was the Chicken Fajitas. Had that again tonight.
So the results of my first week? I have lost 8 pounds and a total of 9.75 inches! Whoohoo!
Now my next week shouldn't be so dramatic. Alot of the weight that I've lost is water, due to cutting back my sodium intake. The goal is to loose 1 to 2 pounds a week, so by the end of summer, I should look and feel so much better. |
