No pic today...

So I lost...not a lot 2 lb but it was still something....Since you can't see much change in only one week, for the beginning of my journey I'm going to post pictures every other week!

I'm going to step up my working out this week. My goal is to run a 5 k the last weekend in July so I have to start running outside. I think this will also help me see faster result. This week I'm going to try a couple of water exercise programs as well.

On food: I stuck to Jenny for most of the week minus my cheat day. This week I only have fathers day to contend with and I don't think it will be to hard. I also tried jennies new pasta ole and I'm in love....best lunch they have!!

Till next time.

Eat healthy stay happy!

A cheat day!!

So I am a huge country music fan and with that I am a huge Kenny fan. Tomorrow is, what my family refers to as, Kenny Day! This day is devoted entirely to Kenny. This also means I'm not at home eating my Jenny food and to make it harder there are other preparing my food. Another hurdle is alcohol....like I said on day one there are a couple of cheat days I have schedule for the summer, this is one of them.

What to do to prepare and succeed!

I worked out double today.
I'll run tomorrow before the event
When drinking I'll drink water along side the alcohol (this flush the water weight you retain.
when drinking)
I WILL try very hard to pick the best options when eating out and or at a tail gate.
The foods I'm bring for the tail gate are healthier options, skinning margaritas, chips and
salsa and guacamole,

These are all thing I'm going to to tomorrow to not get to far behind on my journey. I'm feeling guilty that this event comes in my first week of loseing weight, as I know it's the most important. I am trying to counter act the feeling with the knowledge that I can still loss maybe just not as much and that I have been going to Kenny Day for well over 8 years!

Enjoy your weekend as I WILL enjoy mine!!!

Day 1 ~ 200Lb

Hello everyone!!

My name Is Jenna, Jen, and I’m on a journey to lose Fifty Pounds before my husband returns.  I am an almost 25 year old stay at home mom of two.  I have an almost 3 year old named Peyton and a just 1 year old Taylor (both girls).  I have a wonderful extremely fit amazing husband that is in the military. He leaves for training in a couple weeks and will be gone for 100 days.  This leaves me the perfect time to give up cooking and join Jenny Craig!!  I joined them right after I had my second daughter and lost about 25 pounds.  I gained some of that back over the holidays and then just keep that on.

My kids are my everything. I don’t want to end up one of those fat moms that are just sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet in (but fully clothed) because I’m too large to move around with my kids.  Unfortunately I have the gut feeling I’m on my way there. So I have to make a Change!!

I have committed and I mean really committed to Jenny Craig.  My mother-in-law has lost tons of weight over the last couple months and she did it by using Jenny Craig’s food and tools.  So I’m on bored…Here I go….. I gave up alcohol and candy and cookies (oh how I will miss those cookies).  On the alcohol note I did give it up for a regular bases but it is summer and I do have some summer activates going on so I’m giving myself cheat days.  I believe you can only be successful if you have a couple cheat days to look forward too.

The hardest thing for me is the mind game of losing weight; this is what I’m doing to keep me on track. I will attend my weekly meetings with the most amazing consultant, Melissa (Madison east) and get my Jenny food from there.  I will be keeping up on this blog with my thoughts on the program a couples couple times a week. I will update a picture every week.  That’s right pictures.  I’m not just talking about before and after pictures I mean real pictures of me….Me in a swim suite…wait….me in a bikini!  I picked out a bikini ( one i wear the last time i was 150Lbs) and I’m put it on and took a picture of day 1….(please keep in mind that I have a very bad self-esteem and it took a lot for me to do this so be kind and don’t judge…too much)

TODAY…DAY 1…200 Lb

OK so there they are...chubby Jen.  I always have been told i have a beautiful face.....I want a beautiful body!!

I'm off to eat my Jenny lunch with my work my work out routine starting tomorrow!!
