Nutrisystem Week 10

I want to dispell any preconceptions that Nutrisystem is all pre-prepared foods. While my breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts are all frozen or pantry, there are certain “grocery” foods that you add in to your diet. Many of them are unlimited! This week, I’ve been experimenting with adding some grocery items to the actual prepared meals. Some of my favorites:

I love using low calorie almond milk in my smoothie – it ups the protein punch and tastes amazing
Add some grape tomatos, sliced in half, on top of the Margarita Pizza and a little extra low-fat mozzarella cheese
To fight off a cold, I added germ-fighting garlic to my Red Beans and Rice, not to mention a dose of Chalula (my favorite hot sauce)
Fresh, sliced apples go great in the yummy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
To up the veggie content, I love adding spinach to the Garden Vegetable Omelet
Sriracha and Garlic Chili paste add some zing to at least one meal a day (can’t wait to try them on the new Szechuan Noodles!)

This week, I lost 1.2 pounds for a total weight loss of 19.4 pounds. I’ll take it, especially since I skipped a few workout this week while fending off a nasty cold (successfully, might I add!).

Nutrisystem Week 9

Some people thought I was crazy for starting Nutrisystem during the holidays. And, I admit, I was a little nervous. But I took a chance. And so far, so good. My journey has been a good and successful trip and I only expect it to continue to be a great ride. So, as someone who is on the other side of taking a chance… happy to report it feels pretty darn good over here.

This week, I lost 1.6 points for a total weight loss of 18.2 pounds.

Nutrisystem Week 5

I survived the holidays on Nutrisystem! Actually, it was pretty easy. I did allow myself some cheats on Christmas Day but otherwise was healthy through and through. My savior has been my love for fresh seafood. Shrimp cocktail, oysters and grilled fish are festive and still incredibly healthy. And with my lack of a sweet tooth, dodging those cookies wasn’t hard. The celebritory glass of champagne wasn’t the same story. But…. amazingly, a glass of the bubbly is only 90 calories so I cheered away with minmal guilt.

But next up is a real challenge. This weekend I will be in San Francisco for the wedding of a close friend. And then it is onto temptation city in Napa to see friends. Wedding cake, wine, and rehearsal dinner indulgences will all be a challenge to navigate. On the bright side, this part of the country is literally the best place for fresh fruits and veggies (even in the winter). So I hope to fill up on the “good stuff” and avoid cheeses and breads. I also have a stash of Nutrisystem bars to help me out. Wish me luck!

I lost 1.4 pounds this week bringing the total to a 11.8 pounds. Not too shabby for smack in the middle of Christmas.

Nutrisystem Week 3

The journey continues! Happily might I add. I had a good week, meeting all my goals and requirements. The meals continue to be tastier than I expected and the amount of snacks required per day makes me feel like I’m constantly eating. Not to mention all the water-drinking seems to help keep me full. My favorite snack this week was a mini cup of tuna mixed with garlic chili paste – yummy! It does the trick when I am having a protein craving – in Nutrisystem language, that’s called a Power Fuel.

I have started weighing myself every day. I had a couple mornings this week were there wasn’t a loss. That can be a little discouraging given all the hard work I am putting in. It makes me question if I should weigh daily. Have any of you had a weight loss journey, and if so, did you weigh daily or weekly (or at all)??

I lost 1.8 pounds this week bringing the total to a 9.2 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race, right? I’m pleased with the consistant and healthy rate of weight loss without any sense of depravation – honest, I promise!
