Well, I just had another birthday! Woo-hoo!
Believe it or not, I really do enjoy my birthdays. Well, except the "9's" I don't really know why but I just don't like them. Oh well, it's not a "9" this year so movin' on.
We went to a wonderful French restaurant and ate some amazing food. Sis, took me out to brunch the next morning and that, too was yummy. Now I've started on Nutrisystem.
I haven't been able to win this battle of lb's and so I've decided I needed some help. In the 1st 3 days, I lost 3.6#'s. Yippee me! I won't be getting on a scale again 'til I work with my sis again next week. I only get on the scale at her gym that way I can maintain a fair amount of continuity. She's outa town right now so...no scale mounting for me.
I decided on Nutrisystem because you get all the meals delivered, including snacks, all I have to add is the veggies and fruits. I also don't feel like meetings. This 1st week has been interesting. It begins with the "turbo" week. You actually get to ingest less than you will after the 1st week. I make up the food with snacking on veggies. You do get to eat all the veggies you want.
I also chose this program because I have a habit of eating more than necessary when I do the cooking. I do love food but this way, other than veggies, all the meals provided are portioned. I have to admit here that when I see the finished meal in the bowl or plate it looks like a pittance of a meal. Ha! But I'm dealing and I'm not starving. I certainly don't expect the rapid weight loss to continue the way the 1st 3 days has, but somethings gotta go.
Typically, the 1st 10#'s of weight loss is due to water loss, but this program has you drinking soooooo much water, I can't imagine it's the case here.
I do have a lot of weight I'd like to drop and I did take a couple of pics the day I started this program. so, embarrassingly enough, here they are;

Yuck! So not happy about the weight, but at least I'm on my way. I will continue to post photos on a monthly basis so we can all see my progress.
I hope you follow me on my journey here. Please feel free to comment, encourage, ask questions or whatever and I will respond as soon as I possibly can. Still trying to find dance classes in my time constraints other than Zumba, which I'm not a big fan of. I won't give up but it ain't easy. I might have to get into a pool and at least get something done in there. Now, if you wanna give me c__p about Zumba all I can say is you won't change my opinion. It's great if it gets folks up and out, getting activity that normally wouldn't. I just don't like the brand as a whole. I do have a bit of an injury right now. My L posterior tibial tendon seems to be swollen across my instep. I tore it a number of years before and I'm not quite sure why its acting up again but it is. I am flat-footed, which doesn't help. Poor Delilah, she can't go on walks right now due to heartworm treatment so I've lost that bit o exercise. Still walking with my clients though. Maybe its a good thing I can't find a class to take right now. Walking hurts the PTT. Speaking of Delilah, actually animals in general, Halloween is coming. As much as I love it, the candy (haven't bought any yet), the costumes, the fun, there are dangers for our pets, especially cats. Cray-ray doesn't like it but he doesn't get outside right now. Not 'til the festivities are over. There can be some pretty sadistic people out there and I won't take a chance with my kitty's life and well-being. So keep your fur-babies safe and enjoy the holiday. I'm done for now. Peace out and keep dancin', folks |
