Going Strong!

I'm going strong with my diet...although I have hit a few road blocks this week. We went to the Fair last Saturday...I had a baked potato w/cheese, sour cream and bacon (hold the butter), ONE onion ring, and a soft serve. Now ,I think that was pretty good, don't you? Yesterday, I picked up dinner for me and a friend (I was weak...I think it's that time of the month coming up) and it wasn't the best choice...CHINESE FOOD!
Today, the scale says I am up a couple of pounds, but I still have a few more days until official Jenny Craig Weigh in...so if I stick to it and drink TONS of water, I should be o.k. And, if it is that time of month coming up, I retain water like you wouldn't believe! Usually like 3-5 lbs....REALLY!
So, on to a new day. I'm not going to let a little slip get me down!! It's a work in progress and my goal is to get down to 230 by the end of September....then maybe work on getting close to 220 by the end of October...then 210 by Thanksgiving. I CAN DO IT!

9 lbs??????

Hi! So, as I mentioned in my last post, I started taking that diet pill, Alli, along with following my Jenny Craig program. I've been on it now for almost two weeks and as of today, I am down 9 lbs.!!! That's crazy! I haven't had any treatment effects...well one...which isn't very pleasing to hear about (it has to do with poop and oily stools...)...but it wasn't bad at all.

So, I'm excited and committed to staying on program with JC and taking the pills. I am especially pleased that this may be the kick start I needed to get back in shape...I'll be happy with my weight when I get closer to 215...then 200 and then finally, my goal, of 185 (I'm 6 feet tall by the way)....

Nite nite....time for bed.

Am I crazy, or are people taking crazy pills?

o.k...o.k...i know what people are going to say....I shouldn't be taking diet pills. Well, I am and that's just how it is. Along with my low fat/low calorie Jenny Craig program, I have begun to take the new Alli diet pill. I've read all about it and feel good about my choice. So...BACK OFF! haha i'm just kidding. :) No, I'm not kidding about taking the pills. I take one at each meal (3x a day). I have the starter pack which will last me about 50 days. In that time, with sticking to my J.C. (Jenny Craig) and taking the pills, if I'm losing I'll buy more...if not, I won't.

Today was my first day. And, I have to say, it definetly keeps you accountable! Because, let's just say, if you don't...they call it an Alli OOPS!! If I eat too much fat for one meal, bad things will happen....I'm not going to spell it out...you can guess. So far today...no "treatment effects"! Yeah!

On to a new day tomorrow...I have like 65 to lose...If I can lose maybe 7-10 lbs. a month, I'll be a happy camper!
