I received Fit Moms for Life about a month ago. At first I was like, oh, I will start tomorrow. Oh, this weekend I will look at it. I started reading the book about 2 weeks ago at work and I feel so ashamed of myself. What I was doing is what I have always been doing. I always have a reason to not exercise. But now that I am on a diet and I am trying to be healthier, I am going to change my life. I will not give in to the tomorrows any longer. I want to be healthy today.Book cover taken from DustinMaherFitness.com Fit Moms for Life: How to Have Endless Energy to Outplay Your Kids by Dustin Maher is a great book if you really want to help … [Read more...]
Week 6 and Feeling Great with Nutrisystem #NSNation
Well, its been a month and a half on Nutrisystem and I am proud to say that I am doing well. I have been chugging water like there is no tomorrow. I have been turning down offers of fast food (oh chick fil a, why are you so yummy?) from friends at work and just bringing my lunch. I really feel like this Nutrisytem diet is going to work for me. I know I sounded all gloomy last week about my weight but I figure that if I can fit in clothes that I like and I can make up the stairs at home without being out of breath, than I am doing good.Big E is doing great on his diet as well. He actually told me last week he was going to quit because he was … [Read more...]
Nutrisystem and Me -Week 5
I am the world's worst procrastinator. Well, maybe not the worst. I can point a few fingers but we all know that's not very nice (point, point). So I have been exercising so well these last couple of days. So well that I have made all my muscles seize up. Literally. I cant even lift my arms above my head from doing planks and pushups. My ab muscles scream when I try to twist in my computer chair at work from crunches. I am falling apart. Enough complaining though. I am here. I am alive and I feel great. I take my vitamin everyday, I take my probiotic everyday, and I take my Viviscal (hair supplement). I never take the elevator and I dont … [Read more...]
Having Trouble Not Cheating – Nutrisystem Week 4
Source: bit.ly via Kat on PinterestWell, I am on my week 4 of Nutrisystem (I didnt post week 3, I apologize!!! Its been crazy around here). I am having a terrible crisis though! People keep tempting me with food. Food other than my Nutrisystem meals. I have never had so many requests for lunch, dinner, and parties. Its like everyone knows I am on a diet and they suddenly want to torture me with greasy, filled with carbs, sugar, and butter food. And liquids. Lets not forget everyone suddenly having to have me be their bartender because I am the only one who makes the strawberry pina coladas the way they like. My husband is laughing at me I am … [Read more...]
My Nutrisystem Journey-Week 1
I posted recently about getting to join the Nutrisystem Nation. Well, I finished my first week of Nutrisystem on Friday! I could hardly wait to tell everyone about it. I came home on Wednesday night and there were 6 HUGE boxes on my front porch. Then I got depressed because I bought a deep freeze that weekend just so that I would have room for all of the frozen foods my husband and I would be receiving. I have a tiny freezer which is already to capacity. The problem? Big E had not hooked it up yet! 4 of the big boxes were frozen/fresh foods. 2 for each of us. They pack them in these really awesome cooler boxes though with dry ice so that it … [Read more...]
Starting My Journey with the Nutrisystem Nation #NSNation
I have written many times about my weight and how I wish I could fit in certain clothes and have energy again. I am not going to just write about it anymore. I am taking action. I have decided that I need to get fit in order to stay well. I have been sick for weeks now probably due to the fact that Baby E is sick again. He has RSV and bronchiolitis. I want to be able to run after him and not get winded. I want to play a whole period of basketball with Little M and not feel like I am going to die. The only way I am ever going to feel healthy again is to lose a ton of weight. So I am excited to say that I am a part of the Nutrisystem Nation … [Read more...]
Losing Weight During the Holidays = Joy…Not!
Well, its finally reached the point where I have realized that my weight is a problem. Actually, its not my weight at all. Its my size. I have been between 168-170lbs for 3 years now. Even when I was pregnant with Baby E and had the utterly awful gestational diabetes, I only gained 26 lbs my whole pregnancy. I lost it all within a week of having him so I can't even blame it on the baby. And there is no use in blaming it on Big M because I was still pretty much a teenager then and I lost it and the belly immediately. I actually went down a dress size after having him. So pretty much my weight is fine. I am just fat. Great. Thank you, … [Read more...]
