Hey all....well I have completed 53 weeks on the Jenny Craig program, and it has been a great year! No free cake on my anniversary but...I did get a card from Lurline (my JCC) and plenty of complements.
Oh well once I stopped pouting about "no cake" I sat down and thought how well this program has worked for me. I thought about how much I learn everyday on the JC Chat room, and how much fun it is to encourage others. I have 3x5 cards to keep track of my JC chat pals success, and I am so proud of all of them.
Maintainance is going great! 134.8 seems to be the JC scales favorite number! The past 8 weeks my weight has not fluctuated more than 1 pound. I have ranged from 134.2 to 134.8, and that is exciting. The first 8 weeks on maintenance I found that it was tough to eat all the extra food exchanges (2 extra starches and 3 extra fruits). Can you imagine saying that??? Sometimes I just could not do it...had to skip it. But I never stop eating 6 times a day.
When I started JC I had to set an alarm on my phone to remind me to eat..especially my 10:30Am Yougurt or Milk, and my 2:30 Fruit or JC Snack, but now my bodies clock tells me when it is time!
So I am happy, but not complacent! I at this point religiously journal all my food eaten, and make hash marks to be sure I eat all my food. I still buy JC desserts, and snacks, and there is always a package of JC dressing in my purse. I still eat a huige salad everyday for lunch, and still smother all meals with unlimited non-starchy veggies! These things my friends have become part of my lifestyle.
You know what??? One of the benefits of maintenance is those extra starches...tonight I had a SF A&W Rootbeer Float with Dryers Slow Churned SF/LF vanilla ice cream. OMG you would have thought it was a sin....it was soooooooooooooooo good.
I was thinking as I ate it..."Bless me Father for I have sinned...it has been one year since my last Root Beer Float" but then I realized this was ALLOWED! The Diet A&W is FREE, and the 1/2 C of SF/LF Icecream = 1 Starch! Hell....Life is great!
My daughter Kari went to San Diego for some well deserved R&R, so Panga (Tom) and I (bammah) had two of our four grandsons for the evening. I am behind the camera...but we all had fun in the pool. Even hayden who usually runs for the hills at the sight of water, decided it was okay! They had a blast!
Well what else is new? The next blog will come on the road in our motorhome. We are heading out to greener pastures literally! Wisconsin and Minnesota in the motohome, and towing the Harleys on our vacation. Family & Fun! Yeah...I'll make the next pix one of me on my Heritage Softail.
Well I better get back to work...so I can leave for vacation worry free! See you in a week or so.
