ACK!

Wow, where did the summer go??



It was fun, (Babe Ruth World Series, baby!) but not very "diet friendly" and I am almost in a panic with how I've let the uncontrolled eating creep back in. (here I am indulging at The Melting Pot)



Bad, Mary! Bad, Mary! Ok, no more self destructing, I am ready to roll! (mmmm, cinnamon roll....ACK!) I took the first step tonight in getting back on the program, and I emailed my JC consultant- my old, totally adorable, felt like I had bonded with her, consultant- Nicole. The fact is, I don't even know WHO my consultant is these days. At some point over the summer, I received a call from Bridget, I think, who told me she was stepping in for Nicole. But then my next call was from Claire, who told me that Nicole had been promoted, if only temporarily (??), and SHE would now be helping me. And I had given my cell phone number to NICOLE, while I was in Eureka, so she and I could have a meeting while I was away, but CLAIRE got a hold of my cell phone and called me numerous times while I was in Utah and I finally called back and asked that the cell phone calls cease and what do I get? ALL calls ceased!

I'm not BLAMING anyone, this is my doing that I have "fallen of the wagon" (and eaten everything along the side of the road),

(my dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. WOW!) but I am not completely thrilled with how this whole thing went down.

Anyhowwwww- I emailed Nicole and I have confidence that she will get back to me and we will get this all straightened out. (Are you confused? You see, I am a Jenny Direct member, which means I do everything from home, not from a center.)

So I did hit my goal of losing 25 pounds and wow, it felt great! As a mater of fact, I had lost 26 lbs and then I stumbled. I slowed up on the excercise, got out of my routine, took 3 trips/vacations (2 of which were unplanned) and probably let myself have too much slack this summer and pow- 5 lbs gained over the past month. I don't feel so great anymore. I look in the mirror and I see all 26 lbs. back. But I know that is not the reality of the situation and I am taking back the control. I AM IN CONTROL!

This is a new chapter. A new beginning. And I look forward to losing 25 MORE pounds!!

Here we go!!
