Jenny Craig: End of week 2 an update

Jenny Craig: End of week 2 an update

| April 12, 2012 | 7 Comments

Well that’s 2 weeks of the Jenny Craig diet under my belt. This week has been much harder than last week. Not only because the girls both being off, but because of ….chocolate!

I also requested with Jenny Craig that I sample the whole vegetarian range, and there were a few meals that would not normally be to my taste. I did not think this through really, and left them until last.  So built them up to be something I was dreading, which was silly really.

So my highs have been spending time with my family, only really cheating once, when we visited a friends house and had pizza. I did have two small slices, but salad too, so not too bad. I have been inspired to think of new ways of preparing vegetables to have with the main meals, which the rest of the family have been happy to try with me.  I have also been drinking much more water and fruit tea’s and have been feeling much better for it. Less sluggish!

The Lows: That would be the huge chocolate egg and contents I consumed on Easter Sunday…but felt I couldn’t deny myself.

The Results

So after two weeks I have lost 4 pounds, that is a loss of 1 pound this week.  I was initially unhappy with this, but put it into context 4 pounds is fantastic, especially as I feel, and think I look healthier for it.

I think going forward, if I were to continue the plan, I now have a clear idea what I need to do to continue.   Also which of the meals, and snacks that I prefer in order to do this.

Thank you to Jenny Craig, Cherry and Luise for all of your support.

Thank you for reading

 

I was on a two week trial of the Jenny Craig plan. The thoughts and words in the post though are my own.

Easter at John Lewis

Easter at John Lewis

| March 30, 2012 | 5 Comments

We are so lucky living in Nottingham, as we have a fantastic John Lewis on our doorstep. We love the whole ethos behind John Lewis, and are regular customers.  So when Miss N (9) and I were very kindly asked to go Easter egg tasting, and for a tour of our local John Lewis we of course didn’t hesitate.  I am going to do a further post that covers more about our tour and some of the fantastic services that John Lewis provide, next week. I was blown away, so think it deserves a dedicated post.

This is all about the amazing things that John Lewis have for Easter.  I did a poll, with my friends, and the majority of them have Easter parties and/or Easter egg hunts. We actually go to two, one at grandparents and at a really good friends house. So we are always looking for both Easter gifts or decoration ideas.

John Lewis are outstanding, hand on heart I don’t think you could find a better selection of Easter goodies anywhere. As we wandered around and saw all the spring and ice cream like colours, it really got me Miss N and I in the mood for Easter.

Look at this for a beautiful Easter wreath (£18), that you could bring out every year and use throughout spring:
