I'm such a LOSER 3/5/2007

I’m such a loser! A FOUR POUND loser!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been on Nutri System now for 1 full week today. I got on the scales this morning, and tada…. I’m down four pounds! I know not every week will be like this, but for the first week, this is not bad! I’m still excited about it too!! Usually after a week of weight watchers, I’m ready to go crazy. However, this NS thing is actually pretty darn good! It’s easy to stick to and I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself of anything.
So far, everything except for the black bean meals and the chicken have been fantastic! I am contemplating sending back the black bean lunches. The water just doesn’t hydrate those enough to make them taste right. I’ve been eating the right amount of dairy and having my daily fruits, veggies, and water. I’ve found that the Green Tea to Go is the BEST stuff ever!!! And it’s cheaper than Crystal Light! It also has zero calories, where as the Crystal Light has 5 (I know, not a big deal, but.. a calorie is a calorie!).
We were at the lake this weekend, and that was definitely a struggle. BUT, I survived and again, I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. I was even able to enjoy some Graham crackers that didn’t make me over my calorie limit… So that was a huge plus! I didn’t allow myself to munch on things that I wasn’t supposed to. It sounds a little crazy to make your life around what time you eat, but for the first few weeks, until I get the complete hang of this, I need to keep my timing on schedule, so my body can adjust to the lower calories. I think that’ll help me in the long run. My body is already starting to recognize when I need to eat something, so it’s kind of like I’m in "spring training" for my body. Haha.
I have a goal to be in this neat cocktail dress that I had purchased a while back that I’ve never been able to wear. It has been tight since I bought it. I purchased it through Ebay so I was unable to return it. It’s a beautiful dress, but I’m hoping to be able to fit in that by Reunion time in June! Who knows, it may be too big on me, and I may have to go out and find something else. We’ll see! For now, I’m concentrating on the day to day and dreaming of the loser days to come!
Thank you all for your continued support through this whole thing!!! I know you all know how much it means to me to be able to lose this weight, but I don't think you guys know how appreciative I am of your support. You are all awesome and I thank you for that!!!
It feels AWESOME to be a LOSER!!!
