Jenny Craig here I come!

It is quite common to see competitions come up on Facebook, and I love to enter them and dream about the wonderful prizes. But recently I had the amazing luck to be chosen as the winner of a competition being run by mumcentral.com.au in which I won 12 weeks of Jenny Craig support and food, and a 12 week gym membership through Goodlife Gyms.

What an amazing opportunity to get my weight under control and to put myself and my health first. I have been doing the Jenny Craig program now for almost two weeks. The food is great, and it mostly doesn't feel like diet food at all. The menu is varied, and you can easily swap a meal (in consultation with your Jenny Craig support person) if you want.

For an example of the types of food that I am eating, take today for instance. I had pancakes for breakfast, which I topped with cooked apple and cinnamon, choc-chip biscuits for morning tea, a super-yummy falafel salad for lunch, fruit for afternoon tea and I will enjoy fish & chips for dinner! The Jenny Craig menu can be found here if you are interested in having a peek at what they have to offer.

But I guess that the reason for doing the program is to make a difference on my weight - so how are things going I hear you ask? Well in the first week I was amazed to lose 2.5 kilos!!! I weigh in on Monday so I will hopefully have another loss this week, although I don't expect such a big loss this week.

A big thank you to Belinda from Mumcentral.com.au for choosing me for this wonderful prize, and I am looking forward to seeing where this program takes me. I will also be updating pictures of some of the yummy things that I am eating on the program.
