Jenny Craig Week 12

Awesome week - I dropped 2.5 pounds this week even with Thanksgiving as part of it!  Outstanding feeling to hit the halfway mark.  I did a little dance after I stepped on the scale and saw that magic number. 

I know I won't hit a loss of 5 pounds by the end of November, but I might come close with this week in the mix.  That is stellar.

I'm still battling with a bum shoulder so I can't do as much from a physical standpoint as I'd like, so my workouts are very concentrated on the lower body as opposed to full body workouts.  Still, I'm losing inches and that is a good thing.  As a matter of fact, I'm wearing pants today that I haven't gotten into in years.  I've dropped two sizes already. 

Perhaps size 6 or even size 4 is a real possibility when I reach my goal weight.  :) 

Anyhow - I would be completely jazzed to drop another 2.5 pounds this week - but I'd be happy with 1 to 1.5 pounds at this point.  Lots of running around scheduled this week and I'm looking forward to it. 

Until next time!

Jenny Craig week 5

Ugh.  Got on the scale on Friday morning and I was the same damn weight I was at the end of week 4.  How irritating.   I only digressed one day this week and had lunch at work during a vendor presentation - half a buffalo chicken wrap and a huge salad with Jenny dressing.  Not on the menu per se and it could have contributed to the lack of weight loss.

Then I took my measurements.

OK - I lost a half inch on my chest, waist and stomach and a quarter inch from my hips. Now the non-weight loss doesn't seem so bad.

I did up my work out to 45 minutes a day - that may be translating into muscle tone and we all know muscle weighs more than fat. 

So now I'm not so upset.  The weight isn't coming off as quickly as I anticipated, but I am fitting into my clothing better and am generally feeling pretty good - with the exception of the tendinitis in my shoulder. 

Next week I get to have my menu tailored to what I ordered instead of the set menu from Jenny Craig. So all my favorites, which makes it that much easier to stick with the diet. 
Here's to hoping next week is better from the scale perspective.

In the meantime - I just received my proof for Vengeance and I'm so jazzed.  It is lovely.  Can't wait until November 1 when it is released!

Don't forget, I've got Jonathan Maberry here on Friday - come join us for the fun!

Jenny Craig Week 4

Yippee - I dropped two pounds this week! 

And I started an exercise routine that I kept to.  Feels great. 

People are starting to notice . . . :) 

Sorry for the fly-by but I have a ton of things to do - including getting on my gazelle for another 45minute workout. 

I'm hoping for similar results at the end of next week - but I've got a couple challenges on my plate during the week - we'll see if I can reach the mini goal of another 2 pounds or not. 

Have a good one and here's to healthy eating!
