So this week's weigh in not to bad.  I've lost a total of ten pounds and I'm under that 200 mark again!  197.2  is this week's number, so I'm now about 10 pounds from my lowest this summer.  I have been eating and I've only felt devprived once this past week.  Let me explain.  My husband went to the International Deli here in town and bought some naan and prathra (Indian breads).  I reallly like the breads from India, but I was good and only had a small bite and I do me small.  I have never felt hungry, in fact by the end of the week, I was having trouble trying to eat all the foods on my menu. 
   For those that are wondering how the plan really works, I will explain a little.  Each week I get a menu with planned meals for the day, including snacks.  The menus contain both Jenny Craig program foods and fresh or frozen fruits and veggies from the grocery store.  As well as milk, or Almond milk in my case, low fat cottage cheese and nonfat yogurt.  Every day has a salad at lunch, this can be as large or small as you like, but you can only have one serving of salad dressing.  My salads are usually small because being a floor nurse we get 30 minutes for lunch and that's it.  We are so busy in our hospital we don't even get breaks, so if I find the time to take a potty break, I'll sneak in to the break room and get one of my three alloted snacks on work days.  On Wednesday last week, I went to eat my salad and I just was too full and I didn't want it.  I like salads I do and I add a lot of "free" vegetables to my salads like tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, but I just couldn't eat it.  And this continued on until Saturday when I had my appointment.  So this week I am going to switch up the meal that I eat the salads to dinner and see if that helps.  So I don't feel like I'm watching other people eat while I'm starving. 
   On my exersice front I've been pushing myself hard.  This past week my cousin challenged me to repeat my miles from last week and I have to admit that by Sunday I was tired, tired!  I really had to push myself to get in that last mile, but I got on the treadmill and got in my 23 miles for the week.  This week I think I'm going to give myself a small break and take a whole day off!  So this week my daily steps may drop and my JC counselor maybe asking "What happened with moving this week?"  But quite frankly, I'm tired!  So this the third week of my program maybe the first "real" week and I am not expecting a loss or a very small loss if I get one.  I did however register for the 10K "River Run" now called the Kansas Health Foundation River Run.  This has been my goal for since last summer when I failed my last 10K.  So I am offically in "trainning mode" and this I hope will push me and keep me going in the exericise area.  Currently I can run about 3.5 miles before I start to get tired and 4.5 to 5 miles is where I finally just say "I'm done!"  So I feel I need to get my milage up to at least 5.5 or 6 miles to be able to know that I will have no problems finishing the 10K this time.  And I feel like I've been stuck on the 3.5 mile distance for a little too long now.  So I think it's time to push my comfort zone again. 
   So there is another week done.  I've lost a total of 10 pounds in the last two weeks with JC and I'm 10 pounds from my lowest point this summer.  I am learning what a "normal" portion size is and how what I thought was control really wasn't.  Till next week, keep moving!
