#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.

PETA – Save The Whales??!!??
Do you find this offensive as I do?
According to PETA’s press release:
A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight — and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball — that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini. [....]
Anyone wishing to achieve a hot “beach bod” is reminded that studies show that vegetarians are, on average, about 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters. [...]“Trying to hide your thunder thighs and balloon belly is no day at the beach,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA has a free ‘Vegetarian Starter Kit’ for people who want to lose pounds while eating as much as they like.
Are you shocked? I mean come on PETA. Granted, I know I need to lose a few pounds, but I’d love to just show you and go eat a hamburger when I see ad campaigns like this. (And why are they always using women to make their point?)
I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you are a vegetarian, do you like PETA doing ads like this?
