Nutrisystem Week 37

Nutrisystem Week 37 // Belle Belle Beauty

Well, I wish I had a better update for you. I lost a little momentum after a great week last week. I allowed myself a little pasta here and skipped a day or two of exercise. And what I am left with is a week with no weight loss. This morning, I recommitted and am looking forward to a workout as soon as this post is completed.

Part of the problem is a little bit of fatigue. First, I didn’t sleep very well last week thanks to restless dogs, a little stress and am amazing book (The Paris Wife). And, frankly, after eight months on Nutrisystem, I crave a change of pace now and then. Don’t get me wrong… I absolutely love the food and it is delicious. But I have been seeking out alternatives, especially since I know this is my last month on the program. While I know these last couple of pounds aren’t easy ones, I rest assured because I feel great, clothes fit wonderfully and I am a happier and healthier person. I’ve lost 35.4 pounds since I began Nutrisystem.

Nutrisystem Week 36

Nutrisystem Week 36  // Belle Belle Beauty

Well, I admit I fell off the wagon a bit. I spent a week on vacation in the Dominican Republic and did not hold back one little bit. While I am naturally drawn to fish and fruits, I threw portion control out the window and indulged on lots of tropical cocktails. So, I probably shouldn’t have been as shocked as I was when I came back with an eight pound weight gain. Whoa! How did that happen?

Partly, I think I was a little bloated from the plane. But either way, it was the wake-up call I needed to get back on track. Just goes to show you how well Nutrisystem works. Last week, I lost six pounds. Hello! While that does leave me with a two pound gain since my last update (for a total weight loss of 35.4 pounds), I’m encouraged by how easy it was to get back on track. So, looking forward to giving you another update this weekend with a total weight loss in a positive direction!

Nutrisystem Week 35

Nutrisystem Week 35 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I neither lost nor gained weight for a total weight loss of 37.4 pounds. I’m beating myself up a little bit as I had hoped to hit my final goal of 45 pounds by the time I left for my grand beach vacation. But then I remembered my first goal when starting Nutrisystem was to lose 30 pounds and I have certainly blown past that. I also am the same weight I was 10 years ago, which is by definition… healthy. While I am not giving up the good fight to hit the 45 mark, I am not going to beat myself up either. Oh yeah, PS – I just put on my jeans from high school and they FIT!

I am so grateful I get to hit the surf confidently in a bikini (mostly which have become too big might I add!). I also have resolved to keep up my workouts while on the island. How can you even resist a great long walk on the beach with a friend. Exercise clothes and Nutrisystem bars are packed. Along with a healthy appetite for island fair like fresh grilled fish and fruit.

Nutrisystem Week 34

Nutrisystem Week 34 // Belle Belle Beauty

It just dawned on me that I have been on Nutrisystem for well over one half of a year. Amazing. The reason I am so surprised is that it has been so completely easy (at least for me). The food and resources have been exceptional. Granted, I’ve had my beloved Dad and Uncle on this journey for support and encouragement. Uncle Jeff has lost an astonishing 50 pounds with another 8-9 to go. Dad has lost an impressive 42 pounds. And now for my update:

This week, I lost 1.0 pound for a total weight loss of 37.4 pounds. I’m headed to visit high school friends this weekend and so happy to be showing up youthful, healthy and slender. What a great feeling! Can’t wait to report back next week!

Nutrisystem Week 33

Nutrisystem Week 33 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I lost 0.2 pounds for a total weight loss of 36.4 pounds. Hey, I’ll take a down week no matter how small. Given my bout of bronchitis, I haven’t been running as much as usual, so I am happy that the pounds didn’t stack back on. Finally feeling a little better today, I am excited to get back in a routine STAT. And you better bet I’ll be after it harder than ever now that I have my energy back.

Speaking of routine, I wanted to talk a little about Nutrisystem’s new meals! I am so excited for the additions they announced here. The new snacks include:

  • White Cheddar Popcorn
  • Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
  • Whole Grain Soft Pretzel

Can you say YUM!? White Cheddar Popcorn is a huge favorite. And these snacks provide a great does of fiber and protein that keeps me feeling full. The new dinners are:

  • Chef’s Table® Tilapia with Asparagus & Rice
  • Chef’s Table® Spaghetti Primavera with Chicken Meatballs
  • Chef’s Table® Grilled Chicken Sausage & Peppers
  • Chef’s Table® Whole Wheat Ricotta Crepes

Oh yeah, I said Crepes. And I know my seafood nut of a dad is going to go nuts over the Tilapia! I never ever feel deprived on Nutrisystem, and with this new variety, there is always something to look forward to. Can’t wait to try them all!

Nutrisystem Week 32

Nutrisystem Week 32 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I lost 2.6 pounds for a total weight loss of 36.2 pounds. Whoa! Where did that come from? After talking to the counselors last week and making changes they suggested, clearly it is making a difference! I am so thrilled to have this great breakthrough after a slow couple of weeks. And I am actually even more confident that I will be down the full 45 pounds before my big trip at the end of July.

I’ve been adding more snacks with protein and carbs into my diet and I think it is helping me fuel even more efficient workouts. I also seem to have more energy. A new favorite snack is apples with a bit of peanut butter – carbs and protein in one! Who knew adding more food would help speed weight loss? Just another reminder that food is fuel and eating the right things and portions is the key!
