It's 3:43pm and I'm still trying to figure out how I could forget that today was weigh-in day! I've become so used to the Jenny Craig program that I'm barely even thinking about the scale. I guess that's a good thing since weigh-ins have stressed me out in the past. This morning, though, I had other things on my mind.
For the past few days, my dog, Jack, had been making this gagging noise and it was starting to get me a little worried. I quickly made an appointment with the vet. I turned out that the noise was reverse sneezing caused by allergies. Definitely strange but not overly harmful. The vet sent us home with antibiotics and also told me to give Jack benedryl. At least that's one less thing to stress about.
Back to my dieting! I know that I'm slowly inching my way towards the 10 pound mark, and I can't wait to get there. I have to admit, I wish that my "big drop" stage lasted longer as I'm assuming that I didn't lose more than two pounds this week. This past weekend I spent some time checking out some local gyms and got some week-long guest passes so I could check them out. Tonight I'm heading to a cardio kick-boxing class with a friend of mine at LA Fitness. Should be interesting since it's been awhile since I've taken a class like this. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. I've narrowed my gym choices down to two different gyms but I'm definitely leading towards one. The grounds were so nice and everything looked brand new! The only issue is that it's a higher monthly cost than the alternative one. Guess that's a decision I'll have to make at the end of the week. Some of the classes I've been looking at taking are spinning, cardio kickboxing, aqua fit, and maybe a boot camp here and there. The only one I've ever done before is the cardio kickboxing, but it's been a really long time since I've done it.
I'm hoping that by adding physical activity to my routine will help me on my journey to losing weight. I really want to have lost at least 15 pounds by the time I go on a cruise with my family at the end of June. That doesn't give me much time but I do believe that I'm about halfway there.
Thanks for all of the motivational words of encouragement! It really helps! 44.6 (probably less!) to go!
