I am new to Jenny Craig and my first two weeks were very challenging. First of all, I traveled to another state to visit family for memorial weekend. So as you can imagine there were a number of picnics. I tried to do my best with portion control while still eating things I liked at picnics, I brought my JC traveling food for all the other days. Unfortunately Fate and Mother Nature threw me a huge curve ball in the form of a TORNADO. Yes, that's right a tornado hit my parents home in Massachusetts where there has never been any type of weather like that, ever. The tornado damaged their house and dropped trees everywhere, one tree crushed my car so I ended up being stranded out there a week longer than planned. For the first week post tornado, we didn't have any electricity, nor water, etc. Therefore we couldn't cook foods or anything. Disaster relief volunteers would come around bringing us things like Doughnuts, pizza, hot dogs, etc... Terrible things for my JC plan, but I did what I could and tried to be smart about portion control. I ate only one doughnut instead of 3 or 4, I ate 2 slices of pizza instead of 5. In the end, on a lot of days I was totaling 1600 and 1700 calories instead of 1500. One plus side was we were busy cutting trees and hauling brush from dawn to dusk and I think that helped. Today I went into the JC center for my first weigh in and I lost 8.6 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!! I am very excited and motivated to continue.
