Another Week Done.

    Weigh in done for this week.  It's weird, but I can always tell even with out getting on a scale if the loss is big or little.  I didn't feel lighter this week again.  So this week I only had a 0.6 pound weight loss.  Now I know there are those of you out there that are saying "A loss is a loss, it's a good thing."  But I'm never happy with less than a pound and I always want over a 2 pound drop.  But yes, I am happy it is down and not up.  I'm also two pounds away from my half way point. The number this week is 175.8. 
    This is the scary and the exciting part of the adventure.  My consultant and I feel I will more than likely reach my half way point next week and begin the transition off the Jenny Craig food program.  I have already decided that I will begin with just one day at week and slowly add more days of food on my own.  So next week I will have to make food decisions for one whole day on my own.  This is what was discussed during my weekly visit this time and my lack of water still.   I'm trying to find ways to carry water and drink more water.  I thought I was drinking enough.  So I am happy with the results of being on the plan for the past two and half months.  Just a little scared that I'm not prepared to begin eating on my own.  Last week I was increased to 1500 calories a day and I have to admit that on Sunday and Monday I don't think I got any where near that amount.   Some days I still hover around the 1200 calorie mark, so I will try to work on that this week.  The increase in food actually made me feel too full sometimes after the meals.  Never thought I would think that.  I still get the heavy in my stomach feeling after some of the meals or snacks. 
    So this week on the food front I will look at what I'm eating and think about what I will eat next week when I have one day to plan for all by myself.  I need to look at a whole day and think about what I get from the foods I'm eating and how to translate that to my life and food choices. 
    My running this week was okay.  I have run every day so far this week and I did get a run of 5.5 miles in this week.  I really wanted to do a 6.5 mile run, but my legs just would not give me that last mile.  So this week I really want to  work to get in one last 6.5 mile run.  If I can't get it in this week, I will have to let it go.  I really don't think I could do 6.5 and try and do it again in two weeks.  The race is in three Saturdays from now, I've been averaging 20 miles a week and I still just don't know. 
    Well that's this week's post, how have you been doing?  Have you posted this week?  To that special someone out there (you know who you are) how is your program going?  Come on, let me hear from YOU!  Till next week, keep moving!  ~ Darcy
