When I first Started the  Nutrisystem Plan, I was Very Unhappy with myself.  I didn’t like the way I looked. I was getting into a funk because it seemed that no matter what i was doing I just couldn’t seem to loose the weight.  I HATED wearing anything that was “form fitted”  I remember the Day we got new work uniforms.  I was a Department Lead – and Really good at my job.  So My manager Told me that I had to wear a Woman’s cut polo shirt - because it looked more professional.  Don’t get me wrong, The men’s looked just as professional, but it was just a little Looser.  I argued her on it.  I was NOT going to wear a Form Fitted Shirt in the public. But low and behold … She won.  I hated it.  But I understood the reason behind it.  It did look a little more professional… And it didn’t look HORRIBLE on me, I just was not comfortable.  That was a year ago and I got a Women’s XL Polo shirt.
Lets fast forward to today.  I am still wearing the same XL shirt, but it is starting to get baggy… I am just waiting for a new order of work shirts to come in.  I am actually now unhappy with the way my work uniform fits because now It LOOKS too baggy and not form fitted enough!  Go figure what a couple pounds of weight can do!  I have had to go jean shopping. I now have 1 pair of jeans that officially fit me, but they are starting to get big.  I just didn’t want to spend the extra money on a couple pair because I don’t wear them often.  I am still on the look out for a new pair of work pants.  The ones that I have are starting to get a little baggy on me  - and i remember that i bought them a slight bit tighter in the waist then I usually would have.  This whole journey has been a confidence booster!

This is my 1st Week on my 4th Month of  Nutrisystem.  Everything seems to be back on track!  I am super excited!

This summer has been off to a fun and Constantly on the go time.  We have graduation parties right and left. Parties with Friends… Firework Displays… It’s been a complete madhouse!  But Even with the madhouse I have done my best to stick with the Nutrisystem Plan!  And it is still working!  I am so excited!  The past few weeks I was getting worried because I went up so much in weight one week (almost 2 lbs) that I was discouraged and thought I wouldn’t get back down to where I was aiming for.  But as you can see this week I am lower again!

I think that a lot of the success of this plan is having an open mind and realizing that I can do it… And I can still Eat  the foods I like – because they are all greens!  Like Endless Salad, Cucumbers, Green Beans, and more!  And to help me save on the cost of grocery shopping… The lil guy and I have planted our own garden.  The beans have already started coming in full – and we just go outside and pick right from the vine and snack on fresh, Crispy Green Beans!  Even Lil C has grown to LOVE the idea.(the picutre above is what it looked like when we first planted the garden a few weeks back)

As you may have noticed in my Title – I had a setback.  I was on a great path to loosing weight…Then I started gaining a couple pounds… Was it because I didnt stick to the plan like I should have… Yeah, Probably.  It is really important to keep on schdule.  I think my down fall, not having my mid morning and mid afternoon “snack”.  As crazy as it sounds…. When I have gotten use to having a small munch half way through my morning or half way through the afternoon, and I skip it… I tend to want to overeat (or choose the wrong foods) at my meals.  So with that said….

Yes!  I sucessfully completed week 9 on the Nutrisystem Plan. It is super easy for me to keep on schedule though the week, but once it hits the weekends, I have a Crazy hard time sticking to the diet.

This week we celebrated Memorial Day …  The weekend just through me completely off track.  Not only did I have to work until 6pm … We were leaving RIGHT after work to go up north for some R&R.   Literally, When I got home, I changed out of work clothes and off we went… Leaving me ZERO time to make a N.S. meal.  So,   we hit a …. fast…food…. place on the way! YIKES!  I was so excited, thinking that I would LOVE the taste…  since I havent had it in so long.  But when I actually bit into my jr burger (yes, junior size) it just didnt taste the same.  I have been so use to eating meals that are freshly cooked – nothing can compare.
I did have an EXTREMELY relaxing weekend.  I think that is something that my body needed.  It is so use to being on the go and Not having a chance to relax, that having 2 days to do nothing…. Put me in a happy mood  - and i think that happy mood allowed me to not OVER eat and Not Just hold onto the weight!

It is Extremely Amazing how eating smaller portions and realizing when you are HUNGRY and FULL is not as hard as I originally thought it would be.  It is quite very easy.  I now have my friends and coworkers asking how I do it. And I tell them all about the Nutrisystem Program.  They all thought that I was starving myself – until one day when they saw my “lunch”

A very slight loss, but a loss none the less with this week on the Nutrisystem Plan.  I have made it 7 Full weeks and going on my 8th!   I have been super pleased with the result, and even more pleased with myself.  

Did I tell you about Mothers day?  Oh yeah, probably not. Well Mothers day, I had to work, but I worked a morning shift.  That way I was able to go and have dinner with friends of mine.  I knew that since I wasn’t going to have my son, I felt like I needed to celebrate somehow.  So I went to a party.  It was a Mother’s day/birthday party at one of my friends houses- but they had HOME cooked food.  and Foods that I loved!  Well, I succeeded at not scarfing down a whole plate of food.  I was very good about controlling my proportions…. And all this I learned from being on the Nutrisystem Plan.

I do have many people now commenting on the fact that I have lost weight.  It is a good boost of confidence – confidence that I lacked up until recently!

Each week seems to get a little easier with the Nutrisystem Plan.  I am currently celebrating the weigh in from my 5th week!  Super Excited!  I am down some more!  Almost at my first Mile stone.  If I havent told you before, I had 3 mile stones. The first was going from 165 to 160 (Which is what I weighed when I got pregnant with Lil C)  The second mile stone was going from 160 to 150 (which is what I weighted when I got married)  and my final Milestone mark is 135lbs.  This is what I weighed in college.  They are all obtainable…. But I have realized that I carry my weight differently now then I didn when I was 20 – so we will see if 135 ends up being my final milestone  or if i make it a little more reasonable like 145lbs.

This past week I have learned that it is all about Portion Control.  I know everyone has the opportunity to cheat on diets – but its how do you choose to cheat… This week, lil C and I met up with some friends that we haven’t seen in about 6 months. They invited us over for dinner, and it would be rude to go and not eat… So I kept in mind portion sizes.  Even though the Bread sticks looked EXTREMELY delicious covered in garlic and butter….I shared some with my son.  And Even though their stuffed shells were delicious, I kept in mind that I needed to eat slowly – that way When I was full, I would know it….and I wouldn’t OVEREAT because of eating to fast.    I have also learned how much better FRESH bough produce is compared to frozen and Canned.   See Some of my Favorite Fresh Foods Here

Now heres the time of Truth!
