My Craziest Week on Nutrisystem

Chunky Salsa and Wheat Thins

This week was nuts. I felt like I was constantly on the go. Peyton had her school carnival, I had a concert to cover and I had over 50 payroll tax returns to do this week on top of my typical daily tasks. But I did it. I survived the chaos and I stayed on track with Nutrisystem. Remember last week when I told you that preparation is key? Well, that could not be more true this week. Every night before I went to bed I would take 15 minutes to look over my upcoming day. It really helped me focus ...
