My Other Personal Commitment

I've decided to re-commit myself to the nutrisystem lifestyle. Yes, I exercise 5-6 days a week and am pretty fit, but I am still a little pudgy. I've lost a few pounds since school started by snacking less at night, but I decided that I'm going to fight those holiday pounds by having a plan: back on the nutri schedule. I'm not purchasing their food at this time, but am going to take extra vitamins (fish oil and flax), regular multi vitamin and folic acid, drink water, and follow their plan. So, begins day 2 of my nutri plan and I weighed 149.8 this morning. (I gained a pound the week after Halloween. Now that the good candy is gone, the rest isn't a temptation at all.)

I did start teaching step two weeks ago, on October 30. It is a Saturday only class at 7 a.m. When the kids are all in school and if I can get a following , I may offer more class times during the day. We'll see. Choctaw is a small town and I am unsure of how much interest there really is...However, even though I know I'm in pretty good shape, I want to look the part for my class.

I am sharing the scan of the nutrisystem meal plan for the 2008 Nutrisystem Daily Diary Books. If anyone is intested in following this plan, I strongly recommend doing the actual program for a short period of time to find out exactly how much the portions are, info about glycemic index and what dairy, protein, fat fruit and vegetable servings are allowed. At the very least, check out the nutrisystem website.






I'm a big fan of nutrisystem because it is a livable, permant lifestyle change. I've done nestle sweet success and slim fast. Most people are not going to be willing to do that for any long length of time. This plan, however, is a format solution to offer a better lifestyle.

Even though I am not unhappy with my body at all (miracle), I keep imagining myself at my duathalon next summer or pedeling up the hill effortlessly. My goal weight is simply between 130-135. I'm shooting to be super skinny, just a resonable weight and I'm commiting in writing to doing it:)

Best wishes friends, happy crafting and every other wonderful thing that I want for all of you:)
