My Weekly Goal 2/4 - fab ab february

Just to remind you all, last week my goal was to make 2 of my own breakfasts and lunches. That was very successful!

DAY 1 USING JENNY CRAIG "MY DAYS":
breakfast: 3/4 c. kashi go lean cereal, splash of almond milk, and 3 slices of lean turkey bacon, and grapes
lunch: mini pizza (1 english muffin, 1/4 c. reduced fat shredded cheese, 2 tbsp. marinara sauce) and carrots.

DAY 2 ON MY OWN:
breakfast: non-fat blueberry acai greek yogurt with 1 tbsp granola, and an apple
lunch: portobello mushroom sandwich (on a 100 calorie bagel thin with 1/8 avocado, grilled onions and spinach) and carrots

However, when I weighed in at Jenny Craig this week, I was up almost 2 pounds. Why? Well I was snacking on olives and not making healthy decisions with alcohol. When I should have been getting wine and beer, I was getting Dirty Shirley's and mixed drinks with different kinds of juices. I realized I do not want to make a big deal over the 2 pounds because of how far I have come, but I don't want to dismiss it either. I need to own up to the 2 pounds because then it's going to be "Oh, it was just 2 pounds this week" and "Oh, it's just 2 pounds another week" and that will definitely add up! When I found out that I was up 2 pounds, I texted one of my best friend's moms (who is on Weight Watchers and struggling with losing weight) and we decided to make a goal together. I felt like it would be good to text each other every day and keep each other in check. It is always a lot easier to lose weight when you have someone doing it with you! So I have many goals for this week. . .

MY GOAL:
1. I want to go back down 2 pounds! (But how am I going to do it?)
2. I'm going to go back to making good choices when it comes to alcohol
3. I'm going to snack only on non-starchy vegetables
4. I'm going to continue the 2 breakfasts and 2 lunches on my own
5. I'm going to continue going to the gym (I may not be able to get the full 5 days in because I have an exam in my nutrition class this week)
6. I'm going to do "Fab Ab February '13" and "February 2013 Squat Challenge"

Here's the schedule for "Fab Ab February '13" and "February 2013 Squat Challenge"!!! (Includes: sit-ups, push-ups, planks, and squats)
Challenge yourself and get a nice lifted booty and strong abs! I want to thank my friend from the gym for showing me this and we'll see if it works by the end of the month!

MY HINTS:

My Jenny Craig consultant just told me about Extra Dessert Delights sugar-free gum. I bought a couple of packs and they are great when you want something sweet. Just pop a piece of gum in! I bought Mint Chocolate Chip and it totally tastes like thin mints and I just bought Lemon Square flavor today! There are a few other flavors as well. Check this site for all the flavors!
