Why am I doing this?

Progress Picture (-19.4 lbs)

This is a picture of my precious neice Ava and me taken at (Great) Grandpa's 90th birthday party. I have lost 19.4 pounds at the time this photo was taken in August 2007. I can really see a change in my face. I have officially inspired myself!

Before Picture

This is a picture taken on December 2, 2006. I started my Jenny Craig journey the last week of June 2007.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

I am so happy to start fresh today! Last week was a real doozy. I got in just two of my four days of exercise. I ate 3 servings of my mom's divine dessert. I didn't get my water in consistently. There was a couple days I didn't even eat a single fruit serving. There were some days I didn't really pay attention to how many servings of the 'unlimited' food items I ate. I didn't even meet with my counselor and weigh in this week! Need I say more?!

Today is a new day and the first day of the rest of my life. That's all that matters! No looking back!

Back tracking to catch up!

Since all my weightloss buddies have wonderful blogspots to help with their journey, I thought I'd catch up and do the same!

I've been doing great on Jenny Craig but have had an occasional setback. This has been a very peculiar week! Last week was perfect, right down to the 6 days of exercise between the previous weigh in and last week's weigh in. I was amazed to have lost only .2 last week!! I found myself feeling doubtful and depressed, but thankfully I'm back on track.

I started my weightloss journey the last week of June (2007) and have lost 21.6 pounds so far. I know it will continue to drop if I stay the course.

I have "met" some amazing people around the country who are doing this with me. I cherish their support and encouragement and hope to do the same for them!
