Such a loser!!

The past 2 weeks have had their ups and downs. After my horrible fight with the mango I finally won. I went into my JC centre this Friday and was nervous thinking I was going to gain again.

NOPE! I lost 3.8 pounds. I couldn't believe it!! I am so excited and almost in the 200's again.
My highest weight 317 when I started JC.
The lowest I remember was 285 so it will be an exciting moment when I weigh less than 285.

I am still trying to think of rewards for myself. I have been drooling over the new Anniversary Edition Cricut that recently came out. Maybe when I hit 285? I'm still unsure...


Another week on its way and hoping there are many more losers out there!

I hate you mango!!!

Hubby and I shared a mango on Friday or Saturday night. It was delicious and was his first time trying it.  For most of the day on Sunday I felt like I had chapped lips. Monday I woke up with a reddened, rough and swollen face. I knew what was going on and went straight to the urgent care.

This has happened once before when I was living in Hawaii. The first time was FAR worse and I had to ride the bus to the University Clinic and everyone was looking at me like a was an alien. I felt like one too.

You ask what the heck does a Mango and a poison oak face have in common? Well I found this out in Hawaii that the oils from the Mango is just like the oil that causes poison oak. Yippee me huh??
I sure cannot work as my patients would probably be scared they can catch what I have! I sure hope it doesn't end up in my eyes cause I will really look like a Shar Pei dog (previous experience).

I guess this time off will give me more time to work with my cricut and make some cute cards or something.

Starting week 4...

My week three with Jenny Craig was awful. I'm not sure what went wrong really other than one day I ended up dumping my lunch by accident and I freaked out and ran to Taco Bell. After my Weigh-in and losing 3 more lbs I figured we can celebrate and we ordered pizza. Something my husband and I would do usually like weekly. Well then the next day we went out to I Love Teriyaki ...that place is amazing. Then ordered chinese, and yes even went to Carl's Junior and I think another trip to Taco Bell was in there again. Wow I was spiraling down and spiraling fast.

So I ended up reaching out for support on the Jenny forums for help and suggestions. With their help, my JCC's help I have been on plan for 3 days straight and today is a new day. I did have a small gain of less than 2lbs but that is okay. I know it wont be perfect all the time and you know what?? I can handle that.
This is a work in progress for the rest of my life.

I have roughly 150 pounds to lose with my ultimate goal. Only 117 pounds with my Jenny goal. That is an entire person. It is a shame that it has gotten this bad. But, I am miserable. My husband and I are trying to have our first child together and my weight is stomping that option out right now.

As I drink what seems  like a million glasses of water a day and run to the bathroom a million times a day/night I know this is all worth it in the end. Just have to get in the right mindset for sure.
