39 Years Old and 33 Pounds Lighter!

My 39th Birthday!

Well I’m officially 39 now and I lost 33 pounds for my birthday. I was disappointed for a solid minute during my Jenny Craig consultation and then it was all about facing forward.  I’ve attached some pictures of myself wearing a size MEDIUM dress and it’s from Target.  I never could have worn anything that didn’t have at least one “x” in it 33 pounds ago, so I’m incredibly proud and excited about the next 33 pounds to lose.  I spent my consultation focusing on the next short term goal which is still to hit 40 pounds. I’m only 7 pounds away and I know I can do it.

I must admit I had to borrow a little of my consultant’s faith in me. Just hearing her say every week that I CAN do this and that she is 100% convinced, makes me take the leap of faith in myself.  I LOVE the one on one attention. Maybe it’s because I’m an only child. I like being the focus.  This journey isn’t easy so I don’t miss the days of the other program where I would sit in a large group and have to hear about solutions to problems I didn’t have.  I’m glad I found the courage to walk through Jenny’s door and I’m even more proud of the courage I’ve had to stay.  So much has happened in my life….loss of a baby, unraveling of a marriage, and the threat of being layed off.  But you know, through all of that the skills I’ve learned on this program have taught me that no matter what I belong on the list of people to take care of.  As I continue to put myself at the top of my list of priorities I continue to have more to give to others and to my job.  I’ve learned you can’t give what you don’t have and because of this program I now have a LOT to give.

39 and 33 pounds lighter!

So that’s my update.  It’s knocking on the door of another “first” and I always thought it was crazy to only be excited on January 1st. We have 11 others we could embrace and get pumped up about. So I’m pumped, I’m excited and just too thrilled at the possibility that THIS Christmas I could be weighing ‘1′ something.  Only 10pounds away now, so it’s possible. My choices are the only thing stopping me.

Until next time….Hope
