No more forgetting my weigh-in day! I just gave up two days to celebrate that I've lost another 2.4 pounds! That puts my total weight loss at 7.8, which is very exciting! Despite my skepticism, this Jenny Craig program really works! I realize that I can't expect my weight loss to continue at this rate, but I'll ride this train as long as I can.
I've decided to join LA Fitness because I found this great deal online! It expires on May 31, so if you want to join me on my weight loss quest, act quickly! It's an online-only deal but at $7.99 per week (which is about $34.99 average monthly) and no sign-up fee, its relatively inexpensive compared to other gyms around; plus you can get access to all of the LA Fitness centers in your state. This will definitely make it easier to find classes at convenient times. I'm planning to start out with Cardio Kickboxing, Yoga, and Aqua Fit, but hopefully once I'm confident enough I really want to start taking Spinning classes. I've heard great things, but I'm still too nervous to try it (I recently got over a foot injury).
In the meantime I'm making good progress. I was even able to hold back a bit at a networking event I attended last night at Chima, a Brazilian steakhouse. Of course I enjoyed my free glass of wine (figured it was a safer and lower calorie option than a liquor and mixer), but I'm quite proud of myself for not gorging on all of the free appetizers (which smelled delicious, by the way). In fact, I waited until I got home to eat dinner and feasted on the Jenny Craig Rising Crust Pizza and a salad of sliced tomatoes with Italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar. I have to say, the dinner pizza is MUCH better than the lunch versions; maybe its because the sauce on it is traditional red sauce. It was a great end to a great night.
Only 42.2 pounds to go and only 7.2 pounds to go to my vacation mini-goal! Thanks for all the support! You are the reason I can do this!

Congrats on your weight loss! Celebrate every victory! I have 40 lbs to lose, but I weighed 25 lbs more this time last year! Still, I'm a bit stuck, and I want to kick it up a knotch.
ReplyDeleteReading your blog reminds me to eat healthier (even though I'm not on Jenny Craig or any weightloss program) and exercise more!
And as far as the classes go, just have fun! You won't stick with it if you don't have fun.
Great job! Exercising more is a good idea, and I think it's great that you're committing to a gym and creating a healthier life for yourself! Keep it up :)
