Wow, 22 weeks already. I can't believe I've been on the Jenny train for 22 weeks now. This week my consult was very brief, Julia, (my new consultant) is out on vacation so I got someone else I don't know. And we all know how I feel about change, so we won't even go there this week. I wasn't really sure how much I would be down this week. On Tuesday before we went out to celebrate my husband's birthday I was at 156 on my scales at home. Having eaten out I knew that the scale would not stay there. So much sodium in restaurant food, I knew I couldn't hold on to a three pound weight loss. I did weigh in and choose my foods for next week. That said my new number this week is 157.0, that is a 2.8 pound weight loss for the week. I dropped on more lunch meal for the week, so now I am eating five breakfasts, five dinners and four lunches on Jenny the rest are on my own. I wanted to drop it to fours only but this program I'm doing until September is fixed so I spend at least $100.00 a week with $10.00 off my weekly foods. So I guess I'll be staying there until September anyway. So I'm now 17 pounds from my Jenny goal. I can tell you, I'm ready to go more on my own. But of course they don't recommend that we go more than two days on our own until we reach goal weight. I don't like that idea. We really didn't talk about anything special this week, but I will be weighing in early next week, because I work on Friday and Saturday. I hope Julia is back. 
My third week training for my 1/2 marathon is complete, is was an okay week. I finally took a day off from exercise this week. I sat on my bum yesterday and this morning I got up and ran 6 miles. For the first time in weeks the run felt really good. I didn't have to talk myself into doing "ten more minutes" or one more mile. I just enjoyed the run. I still ended up going over the mileage for this week on the plan, I'm working on trying to cut back. But I like the weight loss I'm getting from the exercise and low calorie count, I just keep saying to myself, "Only a few more weeks, then I can ease up a little." We'll have to see how I do this coming week. We are at the half way point in Ramadan, about 15 days left. Then I can go back to my regular days and plan. So that's my check in for the week. I did actually go and buy myself a couple of new shirts that are mediums and one sundress that is a large. Still feels weird not shopping in the "women's" section of the store and I think I'm just about ready to go outside in a swimsuit! In public! Now that summer is almost over. LOL So until next week, keep moving ~ Darcy
