Jenny Craig… a familiar friend!
05 Nov 2011 2 Comments
A few months ago, I re-joined Jenny Craig. I have been doing well on the plan. However, I have not exercised nearly as much as I should. I am enjoying the food, as I did when I was on the program while living in Connecticut. I moved back to Northwest Arkansas in 2009, but I could not afford to continue using the Jenny Craig program. My husband had a job in another state and our time apart caused me to be very depressed. When I am depressed… I eat! I ate myself back up to my original weight + 4 pounds.
Since I re-joined the program in July 2011, I have lost 11 pounds and 8 inches overall. I would have lost more than that, but I have not been exercising very much.
Today, I am recovering from oral surgery. It was done yesterday and as part of the recovery, I am not to exercise for one week. Although I cannot exercise my body, I can exercise my mind and fingers by typing. I have renewed my commitment to this blog. One way I have done that is by registering my own domain for this web site. My own little home on the web!
When I have my weekly consultation (Saturdays at 10:00 AM), I will write down my successes and challenges from the preceding week. During the other days, I will write about my fitness and thoughts along the journey.
Challenges for this week: I may be eating more Edy’s Fruit Bars than usual, since the cold soothes my post-op surgical site. The lack of exercise may cause me to stay at the same weight…. or may cause me to gain. I won’t fret about the possibilities. It is what it is.
Successes for this week: renewing my commitment to this blog; feeling good after having surgery!

I can’t believe I met someone who follows Miss Bitchcakes. Isn’t she the best? Where in NY do you live? Do you ride a bike? Do you read the Julie Blog?

Dianne,
I grew up in Connecticut but moved to the Midwest in 2004. I don’t remember how I found about Sheryl, but I have been reading her blog for years. I even have a Hello Kitty bike! Is the Julie Blog the one by the woman who cooked her way through Julia Child’s cookbook? If not, give me the link to the blog to which you refer. I love finding out about blogs!
