WEEK 3 -- DAY 19 -- JENNY AGAIN?

It's Saturday and I'm feeling a little under the weather.  I have a chronic chest cold that I can't seem to get rid of.  Last week, the doctor put me on one of those 6 day steroid Med Packs and in one day I was better.  Unfortunately, as soon as I finished it 6 days later, the symptoms returned.  So I don't think we'll be going to the movies this evening which is actually good as far as trying to lose any weight this week goes.

Yesterday I had bought blueberry muffins so I could have one for breakfast today.  I forgot to mention this to my husband and he went out and bought me an almond croissant which I just finished.  Delicious -- Yes.  Dietetic -- No.  Oh well.

Tonight I definitely plan on having another Jenny Craig dinner which will be back to back Jenny days which is always a good thing for me weight loss wise.  I will be having a dinner similar to one in the picture.

I was just looking back on this blog when I tried to do this in 2010.  On my second weigh-in, I was down 5.5 lbs. which is exactly what I was down on my second weigh-in for 2013.  That's pretty amazing.  So I went ahead and checked what the third weigh-in loss was in 2010 and it was 1.5 lbs.  I will be curious to see if it's the exact same thing in 2013 for the third weigh-in.  That would be fine with me.  Any weight loss would be fine.

There's so many different sites online that show you how many calories you can consume in order to lose weight.  I downloaded an app called Lose It and it computed that in order to lose one pound a week, I should consume 1759 calories a day. At the rate of a 1 pound loss a week, I would reach my goal of 150lbs. by July 6, 2014.  Obviously, if I lose more than a pound a week, I would get there quicker.  It also computed what I ate today which only came to 861 calories.  So today was a good day.  I know it's definitely healthier for me to eat more but on days I'm not feeling it, I'd rather eat the lower calories to make up for those days during the week where I might have gone over.  Sure hope it's cumulative over the week's time.
