A year! Its been a year since I found Jenny Craig and about 13 months since I decided to do something for my life and my health.
What has this year brought me?
Today, I'm 153 lbs! Dec 2008 when I started my life change, I was 217 lbs.
I was size 18. Now I'm size 8!
It CAN be done. I look at food so differently now after where I've come from. Food is fuel and I know this. It's no longer mindless eating. It no longer holds the power over me that it once did. Although, now that I'm used to eating every 3 hours, I definitely MUST eat when my stomach starts to rumble! The difference lies here.... A year ago, a footlong sub didn't fill me. Now, a 6" LIGHT sub is too much. My body knows how much to feed itself to fuel itself for the next 3 hours.
I've managed to travel many times throughout the year and made it through 2 Christmas holiday seasons and managed to either lose, or gain a couple pounds of water weight that comes off just as fast as it came on. I went to Vegas 2 times, a Greek island hopping tour on a cruise ship, Mexico for NYE as well as travelled across Canada a couple times. All along, I brought snacks and food that I knew were "safe" and when I couldn't I ate what I needed to in order to stay on track.
Along the way, I also gained several lbs of muscle on my body thanks to my own hard work and the push of my personal trainer.
Today, I plan my wedding in Mexico for April and look towards a Size 6. My goal!
Life can't get much sweeter...
