One Month Down, Many More to Go!

Today officially marks my being on Nutri System for one full month. I’ve lost 11.2 lbs total from my start weight. 11.2 lbs is actually quite decent for one full month. This past week, I gained back the pound that I Lost in the previous week. So that was a little upsetting. However, I do think that it is just water weight. I’ll probably lose that and some next week. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! :-)
Over all, I’m feeling a LOT healthier. I feel better than I have in a long time. I have more energy, more confidence in saying “No” to foods that I would love to eat, but know they are not on plan. This past weekend’s temptation was ice cream. I turned it down and was ultimately proud of myself. Every now and then foods creep up here and there with the temptation seeming to call my name and say “Christie, Eat Me!” (okay, a little alliteration never hurt anyone). It’s learning to turn those temptations into positive outcomes by saying no thanks. It’s not really about losing weight, it’s about taking charge of my ability to decide what’s best for me; both in the short term as well as the long term.
So here I go into my second month, and I'll definately keep you all posted. Thanks again to you all! Your encouragement and support definately help me during this journey!
