#NSNation Update – Week 15
So a weird thing happened on the way to Madison’s First Communion this weekend. I had a stressful long week. I skipped Zumba, so I could get my house ready. I didn’t even mow the lawn to help Bill out (he did it himself!). I ate some “real” food instead of all Nutrisystem food. I was terrified of weighing in this morning.
That all being said, since I paid good money for the stuff I had at the party, I did indulge. Some of my most favorite foods were served. I stuck to my Nutrisystem plan for breakfast and lunch. Supper, and my extra smartfuels and powerfuels were used for dinner and snacking. I just chose to make smart choices.
With that all said and done, I was a little worried. I shouldn’t have been! Instead of gaining (which was my fear), I ended up with a fairly big weight loss this week! We are looking at 2.8 lbs!!! It just goes to show you that real life can get in the way, and you can still lose weight. As always, this coming up weekend, we’ll be heading to Green Bay for another party. I will just have to use everything I’ve learned to this point and again, make smart choices about what I am putting into my mouth.
I can barely believe that a 40 lb weight loss is right around the corner. I could seriously accomplish that by the end of this month! When I started this, I didn’t know if I could actually do this. I’m amazed at what I have accomplished so far, and I thank you all for joining me in this journey. You have all kept me both accountable and motivated!
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 2.8
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 36.6

Feeling Good About Shopping – #NSNation – Week 11 Update
When you are heavier, shopping is a nightmare. The majority of my wardrobe was black clothes. Why? Because they don’t make clothes if you are larger that are stylish and most of them have huge floral patterns that wouldn’t look good on anyone! Now, I still hate shopping, but it is soooo nice to walk into a store and actually find things on a rack.
As many of you may know, Madison’s first communion is in less than a month, and since my weight loss, I’ve got nothing to wear! While I was in Green Bay this weekend, we went clothes shopping. Again. This time it was to find a dress. I will also need a dress for Bill’s brothers wedding in September.
Since we were looking for dresses, we headed over to Dress Barn. We were there about 2 hours and I swear I tried on at least 50 dresses. However, we scored! I found 2 dresses that I bought there! This is the dress I got for Madison’s first communion:

It was so nice to find things that looked good on me in a size 16! I couldn’t tell you the last time I wore a size 16, and I can only thank Nutrisystem for this! Now, over the weekend, I ate out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was a little worried about what I was going to weigh in this morning at. I watched what I ate and made smart choices. That being said, I lost an additional 2 pounds! Nutrisystem has taught me to make good food choices when I am out (now, they are going to recommend that you don’t eat out but sometimes you can’t help it. Like when you are out of state like we were).
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 2.0
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 29

Save A Station Wagon, Ride a Minivan
Okay, corny title, I know. However, we love our minivan. It was one of the best purchases we ever made. It is especially nice for trips like we are doing this weekend up to Green Bay. We have plenty of room to haul all of our stuff, the stuff I’m bringing for my sister (Will’s clothes that he has outgrown), and on the way home, we are picking up a new bed for Will. Now, you can’t haul a bed in a little bitty car, can you? I think not!
Our next van may be a Toyota Sienna. We already have a Prius (yes, we have averaged 60 mpg in that baby at times), so we know what a quality brand Toyota is. Best of all, there are toyota sienna special offers happening right now. Who doesn’t like to save a couple of bucks? I know I do! I also love that you can get moonroofs in the minivans now. I love a stylish ride! Plus, who doesn’t want a back-up camera. Bill has that on his car, and it is pretty sweet.
What do you drive? Is it a minivan? A Prius? A *gasp* station wagon? What do you look for in your vehicles?
