Today was my first weigh-in and I lost 8.5lbs!.....AMAZING. Instinctively, I felt accomplished. A whole week (and a few snafus) of dieting finally paid off. After the initial shock of loosing more then 1 lbs a day wore off, reality set in. Next week will not be the same. Next week's weigh-in will not reflect what they call "The Big Drop". Most of the 8.5 lbs was water, backed up poop and probably even the heavy lunch I had that day. The real test of my endurance is what tale the scale will tell after week 2. What will happen during the next weigh in, now that my body had gotten used to surviving off of 1200 measly calories a day.
Something I did discover this evening that I feel is SO worth sharing is this.... J.C lunches and dinners are interchangeable. Ummm, HELLO????!!! I wish I would of know that from jump street. I really can say there is not one single J.C. "lunch" that I enjoy. I really can't stand them at all. I ate them because I had to, but there was nothing pleasurably about it. My J.C. consultant ever so casually mentioned that I could choose 14 "dinners" to be used as my lunch and dinner for the week. Now all I gotta say it, GAME ON! I though FOR SURE I was gonna drop out of this race after 2 more weeks of soggy fake chinese food, and bitter tomato cardboard pizza. I really can't believe how much better the dinners are then the lunches. I was told that they assign the lunch food to lunch because they are more "lunchy" type of foods. All I can say it. FUCK THAT...I'll take the dinner Penne Pasta over their "Lunchy" Chef Boyardee-esque Rotini anyday!
On that note....here's one more inspirational pic to keep us focused.......I can taste success right around the corner...!
Congratulation on the big loss!. I agree that the lunches aren't the best. My favorites are the turkey burger and beef chow mein. Give those a try if you haven't already.
