After almost 1 year of Jenny Craig, I've lost just over 20 lbs. All of that was lost over the first 5 months and I've spent most of the remainder of the year maintaining. I say "most" because I've lowered my goal weight another 5 lbs and have had a couple struggles along the way. One being the 3 lbs I gained (and then re-lost) after 5 weeks in Grand Cayman and the other being the 4 lbs I gained on my recent month-long trip to visit family. I can honestly say our summer trip home is always the hardest for me to behave. The trip consists of many a night out with friends and an alcoholic beverage in hand almost every night of the week. Not so conducive to the Jenny Craig program! I tried to counteract most of it with workouts but even that is hard away from my home equipment and twice weekly Pilates class. I am happy to say that after a week back on track, I've lost 2.4 of those unsightly 4 I gained.
Things should be smooth sailing now because Rian took off for training camp today so our lives now have structure. Well, for the next 5 months or so. Another NFL season is upon us! This will be Rian's 9th year...unbelievable! It feels like just yesterday we were hoping he'd make it through his first season. As an "NFL wife" without children, training camp is always fun for me. Of course I miss my husband but I also love the freedom of a month to myself. Quiet days, no cooking (well, I don't cook that often to begin with, but at least I don't have to feel guilty about it), and the only things I have to put away are those that I, myself took out. I'm heading out to dinner with my friend tonight to celebrate the beginning of training camp...shhhh, don't tell the guys!!
