| My Weight Loss Journey |
| This site is to keep friends and family who are interested in my weight loss progress up to date. New pictures will be posted every 10-15 pounds. I began Jenny Craig on June 8th, 2005. I am in love with the program. I would never say weight loss is easy, but Jenny Craig is about as easy as it gets, in my opinion. It takes dedication and effort on your part, yes, but JC takes the thinking/weighing/measuring out of the equation, and let's you get the most important part of weight loss down first (that'd be the effort and dedication) I lost some weight before starting Jenny Craig- in part due to the fact I went into Congestive Heart Failure and also had a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) I was all drugged up with no appetite, so from January-June I didn't really eat. It worked as far as weight loss, but obviously wasn't healthy or something I wanted to continue! Now I have wonderful eating habits established, I know this is something I can and will do for the rest of my life. I am excited to be a positive role model for my daughter (and husband!) and even other family and friends. I exercise 5-6 days a week, and I've found things that are FUN and I enjoy doing. I've been doing pilates, cardio strip, the art of exotic dancing, as well as lots of running in the cardio studio at the YMCA. I blog a lot these days about my weight loss, as I am finding it's just as much a mental process as a physical process. Feel free to check that out, and click on the link above to see where've I've been and where I am on this journey. I guess that's it for now! I know I am SO encouraged by reading other people's weight loss journeys and seeing pictures and so on. It makes it seem like I too can REALLY do this. So I hope you guys are encouraged and enjoy seeing my metamorphis into a healthier and happier me! ~*~*~*~*~*~JEN ~*~*~*~*~*~ Update: At the end of October I hit"Onederland", goodbye to the 200s FOREVER. It makes me feel skinnier just seeing a "1" in front of my weight LOL |
