If you have read my previous blog you know that I recently started with the Nutri system diet.  Middle age has left me with a few extra pounds that seem to be nearly impossible to get rid of.  Not to mention the fact that I am a serious carbaholic, which makes it even harder to get rid of my middle age midsection.

I have good news to report, I have finished my first week and I have lost a total of six pounds, which I think is wonderful.  I have closely followed the Nutrisytem 1st week jump start that comes with shakes and bars for snacks.  I have to say not only is the food tasty, but I have only had a few occasions where I felt hungry.  The plan allows you to eat as many vegetables as you want, which allows you to fill up on those.  Though sometimes I just can’t make myself eat anymore carrots, when what I really want is a piece of pizza!

For my weight loss I have been on a 1200 calorie a day diet and my goal was to exercise 4-5 times a week.  I actually made it to the gym 3 times that week.  My excuse is that I am a nurse and two days my first week I worked OT and my Fitbit was telling me that it was okay to skip the gym on those particular days.  Not to mention the fact that I was tired and crabby already, I tend to overeat when I get tired and crabby. I chose not to push my luck.

I am excited to be entering my second week on the diet, as I will have a bit more freedom with the diet and I will get to start eating the frozen entrees which seem to be a bit more appetizing than some of the shelf meals.  The snacks look a bit more exciting too.  I will keep you up to date with my progress.  Good luck to you all out there, stick with it!
