Bad habits are hard to break, right? I vaguely remember some “rule” that, in order to break a habit, you need to go 30 days without slipping up. Well, I’ve been on this Nutrisystem journey for a short three weeks, and I already have transformed my routine in one clear way: breakfast.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I admit I thought skipping breakfast was saving calories. Clearly, that is not the case. What used to be a slog through the morning has been transformed into a nourished and productive feeling. Those “first thing in the AM” foods give me the energy to start the day right. And, I believe, kickstart a metabolism.

As a note, I am having a Nutrisystem protein shake as part of my breakfast. They are DELISH. I make mine with a 40 calorie cup of almond milk. It is a dead heat between coffee and chocolate as favorite flavor. By the time I have my breakfast and shake down, I am happily satiated.

I lost 1.2 pounds this week bringing the total to a 10.4 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race, right? While this week was a little bit slower in the “losing” department, I am thrilled with the progress, especially considering the holiday treat temptation factor!
