I just watched Sara Rue’s new Jenny Craig video blog, and I love her! I think she’s such an inspiration and she’s someone I can really relate to.
In her blog she talked about going off the bandwagon over vacations (or in her situation, “workcations”), and how sometimes we can be hard on ourselves with our body image, and reward systems.
I have to admit, when I feel as though I deserve a reward for my weight loss efforts, I don’t normally reward myself with a manicure, massage, going out to see a movie, etc. Instead, I reward myself with food. I splurge. I get that milkshake I’ve been dying to have, or a chocolate dessert or fries. I ultimately go off track and end up gaining that weight back that I was originally rewarding myself for losing.
Sara really opened my eyes to this, and I’ve decided I need to start finding new non-food related ways of rewarding myself for accomplishing goals. Maybe I’ll get that full length mirror I’ve been wanting for months, or perhaps I’ll get a new nail polish that’s a fun summer color, or maybe I’ll get that egg poacher I’ve also been wanting!
What are ways you like to reward yourself? Do you tend to reward yourself with food like me? I’m all ears for suggestions for fun things to reward myself with!

Have you ever put motivational pictures on your fridge so you stay on track, and won’t grab that late-night pint of ice cream? I have!
I thought instead of putting a picture up to keep me from munching, I would put the Jenny Craig team up on JC Talk! This way they all act as reminders and inspiration on my online “communal fridge.”
Here are some awesome pictures to keep you motivated along with links to Val, Sara, Nicole, and Jason’s video blogs, plus a behind-the-scenes too!

So in case you haven’t heard . . . Sara Rue is Jenny Craig’s newest celebrity client! You’ve seen her most recently on Eastwick and Big Bang Theory. It was announced a little over a week ago so you can already find videos etc on the JC site. Check out this article from People Magazine that talks about how Sara has already lost 7 pounds !!! What a way to kick start the program. Anyhow, Val has said that she is super excited to mentor Sara, and I’m excited to see the process! If you want to follow her progress too, you can read her blog at http://jennycraig.com/successstories/blog/sara and follow her on Twitter http://twitter.com/SaraRueForReal
