So, I just finished week 10 on Nutrisystem and I must say, life has really changed since the I started this journey 10 short weeks ago. I'm not sure if I've lost any more weight this week because my scale decided to become possessed and quit working. A new one arrives later today so I'll update you all next week. But even without being able to see a number this week I can still see progress. How? My Attitude My attitude has changed immensely over the past few weeks. What I once thought was ...

Clutter Be Gone!
Remember last week when I told you all about the Nutrisystem article showing the correlation between clutter and weight gain? Remember how I said I have been working on decluttering my home? Well, this weekend I worked on my closet. It was a huge task! Some of the clothes in that closet I have had for over a decade. A decade! And I probably haven't worn many of them since before Peyton was born. Well, she's 7 now. It's time for them to go. I didn't realize how oppressive having an overflowing ...
Week 9: 20 lbs Down!
Oh my gosh!! Can we just take a moment and appreciate that number. 20 lbs down on my 9th week of Nutrisystem. I am so beyond grateful, excited and thrilled. Words cannot express how happy I am. Every week I take a picture of myself to track the progress. Until this week I haven't been able to see the transformation with my own eyes. Others would tell me they could but I didn't see it. Now that I'm 20 pounds lighter I can see it in my face, my arms, my wrists, my leg, pretty much all over. I ...
When Dreams Become Goals and Goals Become Reality
Last week I was fairly discouraged. It was the first week since I started Nutrisystem that I had not lost any weight. And I struggled with staying upbeat and on track. I don't think being ill helped my attitude. For a while now I had dreamed about losing the weight and finally started setting goals this spring. Now those goals are starting to become a reality. When I got on the scale this week I was down 2 more pounds! That's a total of 18 pounds gone since I started 2 months ago. That's pretty ...

We all have it, those weeks we don't lose weight no matter how hard we try. It's going to happen. Last week was my week. I've been ill over the past month and it finally caught up with me. Between the medications and lack of energy, I didn't drop an ounce. When I first stepped on that scale I was discouraged and upset. But then I took a deep breath and put it all in perspective. In 7 weeks on Nutrisystem, I have lost 15 pounds. 15 pounds! That's right, I've lost 15 pounds and I'm down a size. ...
Two More Pounds Bite the Dust
Woot! Woot! Even though I partied like a rockstar over the weekend, by party like a rockstar I mean threw a party for a 7-year-old and a surprise party for my sister in law, I still managed to lose weight! I will admit, Saturday I fell off the wagon. I was going from sun up to sun down prepping for 2 parties and throwing both of them on the same day but I did my best. Yes, I ate off Nutrisystem but I made healthy choices. At my daughter's party, there was cake and oh how I wanted some! But I ...
