#NSNation Update – Week 1
I’ve been on Nutrisystem for about a week. I’ve had good days — I’ve had bad days but I stuck it out (even when my kids got McDonalds and popcorn and cotton candy). Now, I lost almost 4 lbs from the time I ordered my Nutrisytem food to when I actually got the food and got to start the system. So I lost 4 pounds without even trying! (If it could only we that easy all the time!!) Now, from last Monday to this Monday (while eating the Nutrisystem food), I have managed to lose an additional 4.2 pounds! Not bad for a week.
I should be happy about that. However, I know that this is a long process and that I won’t lose that much this week. I’m figuring most of that is just water weight. Things I need to do better this coming week is to add exercise to my routine and drink a lot more water.
The #1 question I have gotten this week from people wondering about my journey is how is the food. Honestly, it is pretty good. That really surprised me. I thought I’d hate the protein shake. It’s not too bad (a tad rich). I have learned that my stomach does not understand correct portion sizing though. In the past, I would have eaten 2 of the meals as one meal, so my stomach has a learning curve too. LOL
The other really hard part of Nutrisystem is that I still have to cook for the rest of my family. It is sometimes hard to watch them eat something you love. That being said, there is a lot of the Nutrisytem Food that you can match. For example, my kids and husband ate hamburgers the other night. There is a hamburger meal for you. On Friday night, the kids had pizza. Nutrisytem actually has several pizzas you can pick from (which is good because I love pizza).
So how do you think I’m doing on Nutrisystem?
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR: 8.2 lbs.

Sick, Sick, Sick
Yuck. I hate winter. I hate getting sick. I certainly hate getting sick when nobody in my house is sick either. The kids still want to bounce off the walls. I just want to lay in bed under the covers and dream of seo services or make that Brad Pitt. :) The crazy thing is that I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’ve got the sneezes. I’m freezing. I’m dizzy. I’m nauseous. I’ve got a runny nose. It’s a weird combination of symptoms. I can’t tell if I’ve got the flu or just sinus draining here.
It sucks being a woman though. Bill gets sick — he lays in bed and nobody is suppose to bother him. I get sick — I still have to watch the kids, do laundry, make dinner, etc. I did boycott last night and made Bill make dinner. You’d think I’d ask him to do something like search engine optimisation or something. However, the stinky tuna fish sandwich smell didn’t really help my stomach at all.
We’ve got a busy weekend, so I’m hoping I get better soon!

Big Decisions To Be Made
We decided to join a new church here. We haven’t 100% decided to send Madison to private school yet (we have a school referendum on Nov. 4th. If that passes, it solves all of my issues with the public school. However, after watching the debates of Friday night, that may not hold true either. If McSame, I mean McCain, wins he proposed a spending freeze. In theory, that sounds great. However, the schools don’t have enough money for No Child Left Behind as is. If they keep the amount frozen, that means even less money going towards the kids.) The church we joined is a part of hte private school we are looking at. It is a very cool looking church, and we have been there before. Bill’s friend got married there and his daughter will be baptized there this weekend. We also started working on her tuition. They have a program called VOICE. That has you buy gift certificates from them for stores like Speedway, Kohls, Jiffy Lube, Walgreens, etc. to name a few. A percentage of the purchase amount goes towards the school. Madison has to raise $150 with that. With the certificates I bought on Sunday, we are up $17. Woohoo! The cool thing is that everything we earn over the $150 gets taken off her tuition. If we don’t end up sending her there, I just figure that money will go towards another family who can use it. I just think that is super cool that we can start earning towards this now already! So, if anyone needs gift certificates come Christmas time, let me know!
I’ll be honest, this school decision makes me sick. I get a stomach ache every time I have to think about it. I would rather have to use a colon cleanser than have to make this decision. Public schools are suppose to be good. I shouldn’t have to worry about the class sizes or if subjects like music and art are being taught. I just always assumed that my kids would be able to have the same education I have.
**okay, whine over. I think**
