day 2 Jenny Craig

and its actually feeling

GREAT!

I have yet to use the website Jenny Craig... but might need to sometime soon

since i am NEW at this WHOle thing its TAKING a lot for me to realize that i had a eating problem..

HI MY name is Brittany...." I am a CARB-O-HOLIC" lol

WEll good NEWs is that the food they have me eating right now is AWESOME!

I feel my pants already downsizing..

(well not really but will soon!)

TOMORROW is my first WEigh in (not like two days does a whole lot)

Here is what I ate for Lunch

Since I didnt have any fruits for veggies left yesterday.... I was suppose to go to the store and well life got in the way lol so i do HAVE to go tomorrow!

With this I have my ANYTIME Bar

(which when I stop eating the Jenny food....I will conitue with those they taste great and fill me UP!)

CHEERS

whats in your lunch bag today??



eyes are bigger than..

your STOMACH...

that is So TRUE!!!!

Today's LUnch with Jenny Craig I had a BLT Panani....and it looks like this..

(so the 1960's plates are from work lol...don't judge)

BUT from MY EYES prospective...The sandwich looked like this...

Looks so SMALL and SAD...lonly sandwich!

WEll the lonely part is my fault since I went late last night for a meeting I had not time to go to the store YET. Will make some time tonight : ) !

I was still a little HUNGRY but luckily I get to have  a SNACK!

ANYTIME BAR!!!

it was PERFECT...I am so filled! good thing too because my eyes were a little skeptical!

so far so good and believe it or not it all taste REALLY good!

I most definitely need some fruit and veggies so off to the store tonight

*Anyone ever try Jenny Craig before?? did it work?



Farewell ....

37 lbs! I tried tackling you alone....DIDN'T work.

Tried HIDING you behind clothes...DIDN'T WORK.

Tried HIDING behind PHOTOS ....Still didn't work...NOW...

I JOINED "JENNY CRAIG"

; )

after really dragging my feet...I knew i needed a person to help me get thought this...my hubby is awesome but he has a lot going on to help me through this journey (even though i can use him as a cheerleader!)

Learned a LOT at my first one on one session!

I am starting as 159lbs (average weight for girl my height and age  112lbs-147lbs)

GOAL weight : 122lbs (not too skinny and not too round..well for myself at least!)

my starting BMI is 27 (average for a girl my age...18-24)

SO now you know my starting weight and NOW you will see me slowly get to my GOAL.

HOW Does it WORK??

Easy. (okay well not really but basic..)

You don't HAVE to buy their food!!!

(i choose to for everything but breakfast because i pretty much got that down!)

they base it on everything from daily activity to your habits and so on...

First thing first...

BREAKFAST!

total...190 calories

(good start and i had a half a banana)

this is going to be hard because normally i DON'T eat this much and that is where I am having my problem..

Not enough in so i shut down my SYSTEM

; )

well see ya at lunch!

What do you eat for breakfast??? Whats your favorite meal of the day??

*favorite meal....DINNER! i get to see the whole family sitting around and talk : )!

PS i was gone for work ..back now!

Wheres the Granola Chewy BAR?

because this kid needed one!!!

YOU know that commercial when kids start to talk the "Truth" and an adult hands over the Chewy Granola Bar???

WELL lets just say this kid needed one...because I WAS HURT!!!!

(well I know it was the truth...but still)

As picking up my Kiddo #2 yesterday at preschool I walked in and only to have this young little boy run up to me and say MOMMY i Laughed and said OKAY i will take you home then he said OH good!

"ARE you having A BABY??" as he was touching my fat on my stomach.....YA. I know right!!!

My face turned WHITE.

I said NO! he said looks like your having a BABY!

(I had tears. HE dosent know better and I know I am trying to get rid of it but still I was sad.)

THEN it came OVER me...I AM GOING TO PROVE THIS kid WRONG!

I worked out twice as hard last night and

this morning

doubled up on my excerises!

COFFEE?? NOPE I kicked that habit this morning and did straight Juice it up with just blueberries, bananna and no added jucies just a splash of SOY!

HOWS that LITTLE boy PREGO No.

(lol) but hey he helped me step out of my rut lol!

GEEZ...kids.

bESIDES ALL THAT ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY!!!!

NOW what would you do? Would you try it ...would you eat at that resturant ??
*the thought of sitting on a pot while eating I just can't do it lol!

Lots OF love

Hubby and I don't really "DO" the whole Valentines day THINg.

SO it was not that SAD

when he had class he had to go to straight after work yesterday.

INSTEAD the KIDDOS and I had a fun, unique vday together.

Starting with this awesome PASTA we found

(okay ya i know pasta is HORRIBLE for me! but it was VDAY!)

can you see it...

here is a closer look

HEART SHAPED PASTA NOODLES!! we found this pasta at World Market!!! Ahhh I love that store...but I can blog about that another day ; )

after adding some great sauce (the pink sauce...you know you mix the Alfredo with the marinara and you get PINK!...to my kids that was AMAZING)

turned out great and we snuggled up I asked them where would YOU like to eat our dinner tonight? "LIVING ROOM!!!!!!" which is NEVER but last night it was okay...we sat and talked about all the cool cards and candies they got and enjoyed a little girl time : ) !

TO MY SURPRISE this morning the hubby (even though i made it clear) broke the rule and bought some flowers for us girls and cards for us all ...what a sweet heart.

NOW for today...extra work out gotta get those carbs away!

going to go running tonight...keep ya posted tomorrow...

DO you celebrate Valentines day??? Did you do anything creative?

U name it

we HAd IT!

LAST Week SUMMED up QUICKLY!

WE got the Flu..

(by we I mean me, hubby and kiddo #2 ...kiddo #1 was healthy as a bee)

What is it LIKE being a MOM and sick ???

(some might wonder...others such as moms might laugh because well we all been through this)

Dino's enter your bed when your not looking...only to comfort the little ones...

about 18 hours of cartoons only because its the only thing that will keep your sick kid from laying with you while you try to recover...

Besides having Day quillto get Kiddo #1 to school on time we had night quill to ignore the constant coughing of Kiddo #2 all night...(well my hubby did...i just can't do that)

Then as your Doped up on your MEDS.

YOU decide that you should Try to work out because your mom sends you this quote:

“Don’t wait to feel better to go to the gym, go to the gym to feel better.”

WRONG! so WRONG. I felt good while doing it but surly after  my body disagreed so then...

 you try to find something else to well keep them sitting still...so MANY Games of memory...oh so MANY. 

BUT any who the best part of being sick with the KIDDOs is that you get some EXTRA quality time with them ...EVEn the HUBBY. (WHO didn't want to be photographed due to sickness lol!)

Kiddo #1 was SUCH a great help I even stuck it out and took her to her gymnastics class!

(no one sat next to me...)

ANd to SAY thank you TO her we bought some SKInny COW ice Cream sandwiches ...which was a real blessing because we were SO sick of soup and Popsicles lol!

(yum!)

After having that week ... I am ready for this week and to SAY I LOVE you to MY favorite PEOPLE my family!!!!

HAVE a great VALENTINES DAY!

Whats your SICK days LIKE?? do you work out still when your sick?

*i did...two days in a row...i felt to bad the last 2 days so i couldn't do it. But it did help for a small time....very small.
