Today’s Nutrisystem update is going to be a quick post. I am sorry that I didn’t take any pictures to share with you. I’ll take some next week. This week has been busy with some back-to-school stuff and squeezing in some last minute fun before the kids go back to school.
I didn’t think I would be able to do the post today but we haven’t decided what we are going to do today so I have some time. We were going to the Bronx Zoo but the county fair ended up costing $$$$ more then we anticipated so we don’t have any money left to go to the Bronx Zoo. Sigh… I was really looking forward to going today too. We haven’t been to the Bronx Zoo in 11 years.
T0 be honest I was on “autopilot” this week when it came to eating. I did what I needed to do but I didn’t put much thought into it. I don’t know if that is a good thing (that I’m not obsessing about what I eat) or a bad thing (mindless grazing?). I was also concerned that I “might” gain weight this week. THANKFULLY I lost weight! Yeah me! I lost 2 pounds! (“Technically 1.8 pounds but I am rounding to the nearest pound).
I didn’t lose anything last week. Yesterday we went to the county fair and I was concerned that I might gain weight. Traditionally my husband and I love to get chicken-in-a-pita sandwiches at the fair (they are SO GOOD!). I was going to get one but opted for a steak in a pita instead with NO “special sauce”. With the chicken-in-a-pita is automatically comes with a thick and creamy sauce (not really sure what it is). With the steak sandwhich you get veggies on it instead. So I opted for the steak on. The steak is grilled and its topped with onions and peppers. I thought that was a healthier choice. After all, its a county fair, there are very limited “healthy food” options.
We did A LOT of walking yesterday so I think that helped to eat up (no pun intended) some of the calories. I also skipped my usual favorites like ice cream, fries, lemonade and a few other goodies. I think I did pretty good if you ask me. I could have EASILY splurged and eaten EVERYTHING in sight, but I didn’t. I remained strong and concious about what I ate and drank all day.
We DID bring home some roasted peanuts in the shell, but I don’t think I’ll take more then 1 or 2 at a time. Too much “work” to get at a tiny nut. LOL!
I know this is not exactly a great, in-depth post about my week on Nutrisystem. Next week will be better. This week was just an exception.

thats really good!
i would have gave in to the temptations i think! so good job for sticking to it.
We share the same weight-loss struggles. I enjoy how you always remain optimistic. You seem like a happy person!
I think walking while eating negates the calories.
