My first weigh-in day...

So before I tell you of either my success or failure, I just want to explain my skepticism with this program that I felt this morning before I took that dreaded step onto the scale. I was finding it hard to believe that I was really losing weight. This entire week I've felt full. I've never felt like I didn't have enough food or for that matter didin't have enough good food to eat. I know that you're probably thinking that I'm only thinking about when I ate off of the Jenny Craig program, like on Mother's day or celebrating my sister's birthday, but I'm talking about all of the other days! I found myself sometimes leaving out snacks because I just wasn't hungry for them; especially the ones between breakfast and lunch. Maybe this eating breakfast idea was a good one. Before starting Jenny Craig I was the type to skip breakfast more often than I ate it. This isn't because I don't like breakfast food. In fact, I LOVE breakfast food; I'm just not a morning person, and my old ideal was that by skipping breakfast I could sleep more every morning before work! Thanks to Jenny Craig, and all of her fabulous frozen and prepackaged breakfast entrees, I can take them with me when I leave and eat them when I get to work! So much easier!

I know that if you've been following my blog so far you're probably most interested in my first weigh in and patiently waiting until I reveal my results. It's worth the wait! I had almost forgotten it was weigh-in day this morning when I got out of bed. Luckily I remembered as I was getting ready for work. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the scale...I lost 3 pounds! THREE WHOLE POUNDS! I almost didn't believe it! In fact, I stepped on and off the scale at least seven or eight times just to check. If I could be this full and satisfied with my food choices and lose three pounds, what on earth had I been doing for so long?

Then, it dawned on me. I definitely ate "off-plan" this weekend when attending my celebrations. Does this mean that had I eaten on plan (like I was supposed to, I know) I might have lost even more this week?! That's definitely the motivation I needed. Now it's really on! Only 47 pounds to go! Wish me luck!
