After several days of consideration, I have decided to try Nutrisystem for one month. See, the problem is that I have trouble deciding what to eat, and by the time I am close to figuring out what I want, I have been snacking here and there on foods and have taken my caloric limits. Then I really dont have a meal and I end up picking at food the whole day. Its a vicious cycle.
People say 'try pre-planning your meals.' Well, we do that, but it never lasts and we still end up buying so many cheat foods at the store that we spend like 200 bucks. Its horrible.
So, I decided to give Nutrisystem a try, and have vowed to stay at it for at least the one month. My theory is that we paid 300 bucks for this food, darn it, I'm gonna stick to the diet. My food hasnt come in the mail yet, it should come on Monday. I will keep ya all updated when I start the diet.
Has anyone out there tried Nutrisystem? How did that work for you?
I dont really know if anyone actually reads this, but I really need some support right about now. I think I am addicted to food, and find myself eating when I dont think I should. This is really doing some horrible things to my self esteem (not to mention to my diet!) Some days I am a total diet fanatic and only eat 1000 calories a day. Other days I eat and eat and eat and dont keep track of it. Its not horrible eating, but I know its more than I should.
So, I dont know if anyone reads this, but I gotta tell ya all something. My hubby and I were on the Dr. Phil show in January. They are airing it again this Thursday, July 31. It was related to Paul's Star Wars obsession. Let me know if you watch it.
Anyway, because of the show, we got a free gym membership and a personal trainer. I did really well with him. But I got injured a month ago and maybe have gone 4 times in the past month. I know I am gaining weight, and some of my clothes aren't fitting well. I am so frustrated.
Camp was an adventure. I found that they really don't feed kids nutritious food at all! I gained 3 pounds at camp! Today was my first day back at the gym since my wrist/arm issue. It was hard getting back in the swing of things, but I will have to jump right in.
While I was doing my leg workout, my trainer came up to me and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow. Darn! I am gonna have to jump in faster than I though. He knows about my injury, and I am sure he is going to torture me with a million lunges and a horrid leg workout. I know I will be sore when he is done with me. But I wouldnt have it any other way. Its the last week I am going to have with my trainer, he is going to work at another brance starting next week. It makes me sad. But after 5 months with him, I have learned how to do my routines and how to eat properly.
I need some more motivation. My main motivation is to be healthy and take care of my body. God gave me this body- which is supposed to be His temple. I don't want God's temple to be fat. So I am attempting to change that. Its not so easy. Food is yummy. Its nice to be lazy. Working out is tough. Cookies taste good.
I am all gung-ho about this. The only setback is that I recently severely damaged the tendons in my left wrist and arm. It has been extremely painful, and the doctors want me to take it easy. Thats hard to do when you want to do cardio and strength training!
I am going to be a counselor at a church camp next week and I am so stoked!
