It really is amazing how much better you can feel when you eat right and exercise. I have gotten in a slump again, but with starting Nutrisystem then also the Mamavation 2 week challenge that has helped jump start me back in the game.
I didn’t do the actual exercises for the 2 week challenge because I wanted to get my body warmed back up to moving again. So what I did was between 2-3 miles each day of walking/jogging. Depending upon the day I either did 30 minutes or 45 minutes of fast walking and sometime jogging. I definitely have a ways to go to get back up to running again, but each day I feel better and stronger.
So in the last two weeks I have lost just over 2 pounds, for a total of 18 pounds in the last year between losses and a little gain… Nutrisystem is really helping me take a look at my food and portion sizes. I have added in tons more veggies, which for me is good because I rarely eat them. I am also back to drinking more water and have cut out the diet sodas again. I have been using my SodaStream though to make carbonated water and adding a little MiO for flavor. Almost like having grape or orange soda without the calories and sugar!!
What is even better is that hubs has joined in since he is on Nutrisystem too. He is also walking almost everday, even after he has been at work all day. We are doing family walks some days if I haven’t already done my walk. AND Little Miss is starting to try more veggies and other good stuff that I have had on my plate. Little Man is still a work in progress, but he is asking for more water or milk instead of juice all the time. Overall we are spending more time outside playing and just getting healthier as a family.
I hope we can keep this up and get healthier together!!

Yeah for veggies!!! I had no idea that Nutri System had you add in real food. When my mom was on it years ago it was all processed. Yeah on the weight loss! XXOO
Great progress. I do see that Nutrysystem came a long way from what they used to market. Great progress
yay for getting the whole family involved! With everyone being active, it will be easier to make these changes for life. WA y to go!
Great job getting everyone involved! It really does make it more fun. You have had such great results. Keep up the great work.
So awesome! Congrats on your weight loss! I hope you have a great week!
