I'm 1/4 of the way to my goal!!

That's right, at my weigh in today I hit 149.8 lbs for a total loss so far of 10.4 lbs.
I am very excited!! I am still on Jenny Craig and doing very well. It has been very easy for me to stick to eating the JC food with added fruit, veggies and dairy. I find if the rest of the family is eating something that just draws me to it, like last night when they all got McDonald's after the baseball game. I had just one fry...that was enough, and when I got home, I had my snack for the day. It was the incredibly yummy lemon cake. I love to pop it into the microwave so it is just a touch warm. Soooooooo gooood!!

Something interesting that I have noticed over the past couple of weeks is that I seem to have a lot more patience with the kids. I am thinking that it has to do with the fact that I am taking in a lot less sugar than I used to. Never thought about it before, but the snacks in the pantry are being replaced a lot less often. I mean, what's up...there is a box of Devil Dogs in there that I bought a week ago and no one has even opened it. If I was allowing myself to eat that stuff, the whole box would be gone by now. Now, I digress, my new and improved extra helping of patience doesn't mean that I still don't yell once in awhile. I am Italian after all, and really we don't "yell", that's just the way we talk.
