Well, as you can see I am behind in my updates! I was in Florida last week on vacation and didn’t get a chance to post before I left. Week #4 was great! I lost another 1.8 lbs! Bringing my total to 8.3lbs!!

Life was great until I left for Florida. My weight loss came to a screeching halt when I stepped foot in the Sunshine state. To start, I didn’t take any of my Nutrisystem food with me. I was flying and didn’t have enough room in my suitcase to fit the food. Plus let’s face it… In the back of my mind I didn’t want to eat “healthy” on vacation.

The first night we went to Fudpuckers, a really awesome restaurant in Destin, and of course almost everything on the menu is fried. I did try to eat healthy by getting a salad but did indulge in some hushpuppies. Which by the way are AMAZING!!! The next night was an ocean front restaurant and the list continues.

As I reflected back on my trip, I realized that I never had dessert!! Typically I would always have dessert on vacation.  Well.. Are you ready for the vacation results? I am happy to report that I only gained .5 lbs!! I was super excited about this. I truly thought I would get home and be up 2 lbs.

I really enjoy being on Nutrisystem. The food is great and I LOVE that it is prepared for me. I don’t have to second guess myself on portions or calories.  I am really glad to be back on track!

Wow, this was a tough week!! I attend a very large Fourth of July party each year. I knew before I went that I was going to be tempted with LOTS of good food and LOTS of those yummy summer “adult” drinks I had done very well sticking to my Nutri-System foods so I went to the party with the mindset that I was going to CHEAT on the diet.  I was all set to pig out and eat all of my favorite foods.

Well, guess what happened!! I couldn’t do it I tried… I filled up after a few appetizers and dessert didn’t even look appealing.  I did have a few “adult” drinks but this was a special occasion right ??

Anyway, are you ready…… I lost another 1.5lbs!!! This brings my total weight loss to 6.5lbs! I have a LONG way to go but I am well on my way.

I tried lots of good foods this week. I love the breakfast bars and desserts. My favorite dessert so far has been the Peppermint Cookie Patty. I can’t wait to order some more of those next month.

This week taught me that I can resist those temptations. It’s okay to indulge a little. Just wake back up and jump right back on the plan. I have been extremely satisfied with the food on the plan. There have only been a few meals that I haven’t liked all that much. I will tell you guys all about those in my upcoming video.

I have some exciting news to share with you! I have been chosen to be a Nutrisystem Nation Blogger!! What does that mean? Well, for 4 months I will be receiving food from Nutrisystem and in return I will blog about my experiences!! I hope you will join me on my journey.

You see… I have struggled with weight my entire life. I have tried many diets and not succeeded.  Weight Watchers and Atkins took the weight off but it eventually came right back. I never really lost the weight after I had my children. I would lose 10 or 15 lbs then go right back to my old ways.

I dream of wearing a size 10 again. I would love to be able to shop in the regular INC section at Macy’s (My favorite brand) not the plus size. 

Why is it so hard to stop eating when you know it isn’t good for you??? I have asked myself this question hundreds of time. Is that doughnut really worth being overweight? For some reason, the doughnut seems to win the argument every time.  If someone knows the answer to this question, please let me know

For the next 4 months, I will have Nutrisystem preparing my meals. They will be portion controlled and delivered to my doorstep.  They will even send me dessert!! Can’t you believe that : ) I don’t think I have ever lasted 4 months on a diet. I am hoping that you my readers will hold me accountable! I will be reporting back to you on a weekly basis about my weight loss. I no longer have excuses.

Soo…. Are you ready to hear my first week weight loss? I am ready to shout it to the world! I lost a total of 5 pounds this week!! The food was great. So far, I think the Chili has been my favorite. If you have ever had Steak N Shake chili – it tastes exactly like that
