WEEK 3 -- DAY 18 -- It' a Jenny Craig Kinda Day

It's very important that I be especially good on my "plan" for the next three days because I'm going away on Sunday and Monday which will definitely make it harder while I'm gone. So today I decided to eat my Jenny Craig food starting with the blueberry muffin in the morning and the lasagne for dinner.

I've been on Jenny Craig numerous times and have always been moderately successful. What I like about it is the fact that I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat because it's right there. What I don't like about it is that when I don't eat the food, I feel like I'm cheating. Add to that the fact that I've never been able to do it for more than two months at a time and I hate going every week to report to a counselor, ends up in an overall dismal performance for me after the second month.

But the one thing about their food is that it tastes great. It's not diet food and doesn't have a diet food taste to it. That's probably because it is real food that's just proportioned properly. The thing that has always confused me about Jenny Craig food, however, is that the packaging is so awful. When I was searching Google Images today, for some Jenny Craig pictures, I came across this picture of some new packaging. I'm not sure if this is for real or it's just someone's idea of what the packaging should look like but, I have to admit, that it's so much better than what they have now (which is an ugly brown color). Whoever designed the original stuff really did not do a great job. Who wants to eat food that is packaged in boring brown packages? One can only hope that they are in fact revamping it.

So I'll try to do this on Friday and Saturday so my one pound goal for this week will be attainable.
