Falling off the wagon

Some times you just gotta let a bad week go and move one... THAT'S WHAT IM DOING THIS WEEK

The summer is full of fun activities and food that you just cant say NO to all the time.  This past week i encounter get togethers and they all included not eating jenny's food and all included me drinking.  I could have said no to the drinking but that's always hard at 25 with all your friends or family members that are drinking along side of you.

This past 2 weeks i also ran out of Jenny food because i had to skip my weekly meeting.  This was due to the fact that i was on vacation out at my moms with the girls.  Although i didn't eat jenny food out there we did eat healthy and we did some many fun act ivies like going to the ZOO and swimming that i felt i got a tone of exercise in.

I was happy to find out that when i weighed in this week i lost a pound (i was hoping to just maintain).  I was 2 whole weeks so that throws me off my plan a bit by not losing more weight but im back on the wagon.  I went in to jenny yesterday and got my food and besides my daughters birthday dinner this week its all about jenny and a NEW PIC next Monday

wish me luck

stay happy, stay healthy

Bye bye Jeff bye bye food

So my husband left a week ago and our house went through a TON of changes this past week.

To start with I got rid of all the food Jeff ate. All the chips and the candy/chocolate, all the salty food and all the non Jenny food. Don't worry I didn't just throw it out I gave it to my dad. Not all this food is bad for you but it's not Jenny food and I'm on a mission.

After getting that food out of my house I thought I should get other things causing me stress out of my house too. I cleaned my garage and the whole basement. I went through clothes and closets that haven't been touched in over a year. It wasn't that all this needed to be done with in a week but you hold on to your weight because you have stress or you eat unhealthy because you have stress or raw unhappy. I figured with Jeff leaving that would give me enough stress so I should eliminate all other stressers.

So with a clean house and only Jenny food in the freezer I. Off to a good week.....I'm down 3 pounds and on my way to reaching my goal!!

I wanted to just put a note out there.....

Congratulations to Megan Hebel for join Jenny and losing 8.something pounds on her first week...stick with it.

Too all out there you don't have to do Jenny but if you want to get healthy just do something!

Stay happy stay healthy!
Jen

3 weeks in!!

OK so im 3 weeks in and hes a new pic. 

OK so i have lost 5 pounds, that is a little less then my goal at this point i was wanting to be down 7 pounds....but with Jeff leaving in 8 days we have found ourselves having a ton of plans with wonderful people before he leaves....so for this week i am hoping to maintain.  if i can keep my weight where it is i will be happy.  We are packing a whole summer into the next 8 days...that means all the food and fun that comes with that. I try hard to make the right choices when giving the opportunity put sometimes the fun and people and even get away from me....so the working out must get hard this week!!

I have lost some good inches these last couple weeks tho...so that makes me happy.  looking at pictures from the 1st week to today.  I can see it im my back fat area and a little in my BUTT!!  I mainly notice the way my face and neck feel just a little bit thinner...and I'm loving that.

This week i want to make as best choice i can and stick to Jenny food as much as possible.  I also need to add variety to my work out routine.  I have been mainly just doing cardio so here comes the lifting and Resistance trainning....wish me luck as I try to break ME from MY routine (this is not going to be easy)!!


Stay Happy, Eat Health

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!!
