Offical First Week Weigh In!

Wow, I really don't feel like I lost that much weight!  Okay, so I just returned from my first weigh in and counseling with JC (Jenny Craig).  I lost 7 pounds last week.  Am I excited?  Yes and no.  Yes, because the scale is finally moving in the right direction and it's not going up as much anymore.  I know we shouldn't weigh ourselves everyday, but I have a tendency to weigh myself at least every other day and the scale only went up once this week.  So yes that makes me happy.  No, I can't really feel too excited because I'm still heavier than my lightest weight this summer/fall.  I think I will get more excited when I pass the 187 number again.  So my new number is 200, I started at 207.8 and today I was 200.8  I'm not even down below the 200 number yet.  So yes I have a smile, but I want to do better.  The week went well for the most part.  My husband is still a little "unsure" if I really NEED the program of if the money could be better spent somewhere else.  As for me, I feel that it is totally worth it.  I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat, it's all laid out for me on a sheet and I just follow along.  Right now, that works well for me.  I really like not having to think about the food choices out there, but I know that's going to be coming.  If I continue to lose weight this quickly, it will come sooner than I think I'll be ready.  I did have one bad day, on Wednesday I was at work and the day was so hectic that I did not get a lunch break and I wasn't really sure how to "salvage" the day.  I did the best I could by eating my planed dinner and a salad.  I still ended up the day way short on calories, which does concern my JC counselor.  We talked today and came up with a couple of strategies to try should it happen again.  So far the food isn't that bad, I've liked all of the meals I've eaten.  Yes, there are somethings that I like more than others, but it's that way with anything in life.  I also did get my booty out of bed and exercised two of the mornings I worked this week, so my weekly total so far this week is 15 miles.  And I'm not as tired as I thought I would be at the end of the day.  So my plan for the coming week is to exercise at least two of the days I work with at least a thirty minute walk.  I also want get in at least 3 miles on my days off, I'm still preparing to run a 10K this spring with my cousin and this time around I want to finish and finish strong.    So that was my first week in.....not bad.  I'll keep you up dated.  Until next week, try to keep a smile on your face everyone!
