Plugging Along

Still plugging along here, eating my Jenny Cuisine along with tons of fresh fruit & veggies, walking & logging my steps. Yesterday I walked the neighborhood in the morning, did 30 minutes on the treadmill in the afternoon followed by 20 minutes of Valerie's workout dvd...




It was just enough to stretch my muscles and cause that delicious ache in my legs this morning. I think I'm going to pick up some hand weights this weekend and work my way up to the 30-minute Bikini Body portion of the dvd.

Tomorrow is weigh-in and I'm not feeling great about it. I mean, I've been working really hard but my bathroom scale isn't showing a loss yet, and "Moontime" is approaching so..who knows. If nothing else, I know that I've tightened up and my waist is becoming visible again so I know I've lost inches. We shall see. For now, I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing knowing that results will follow.

Have a Beauty-Full Day,

I Called Jenny

I have a confession to make: even after saying I wouldn't, even after being adamantly against all of those "packaged food" diets out there, even though I believe strongly in a natural, clean way of eating...after reading Valerie's book and doing some long hard thinking, I signed up for Jenny Craig last night.

I know some of you might be disappointed in me but, you know, I think I need this right now. I think the structure and portion control will help get me started on the right track, and once I see some progress I will be motivated to continue. Right now I feel stuck, tired and simply without self-discipline to do this on my own.

So, today is Day One of Jenny food. So far it doesn't look so bad, and I like the fact that veggies are "free" and encouraged, wine is not off limits (in moderation) and the program focuses on more than just the food - the food is only one of three parts, a tool to help you reach goal. The other components are mind & body, equally if not even more important than what you put into your mouth.

I hope you'll stay with me on this journey, I could sure use the support!

Hugs,
