Don't get me wrong, the food isn't terrible, per se, it's just small. As I've told many of my friends, the biggest downfall/advertising lie that NS presents is that it's simple and easy. It's not. You have to supplement with fruits, veggies, dairy, protein and carbs. All of those = even more out of pocket expenses. I thought I was a friend of veggies, clearly I'm not. I used to eat virtually none, no salads, nada. This is forcing me to eat mah greens and it's a good thing, I must say.
So Tuesday (1/18/11) made an entire week down of my new 'lifestyle change'. I went from 267 to 258.8... an 8.2lb weight loss. Now I'm sure a lot of that is water weight, but I'm taking those numbers and running with 'em! hahaha.
Each day is a struggle and it will continue to be. Trust me, today I went to Wally World (Walmart) after work to pick up:
-Seltzer water
-Salad mix
-Bananas
-Apples
-Celery
-Strawberries
-Conditioner
-Tissues
That wasn't my entire list going in, but that's what I bought. I was thissssss close to buying a juicer. If anyone wants to donate to the Augustina Fund, feel free... I'll give you my acct # for money depositing! ;)... but if you know of a great brand at a decent price, DO let me know. It might make my life less boring in terms of getting my fruit & veggie daily intake. Moreoverrr, I was also this close to picking up a 6" subway sandwich meal. I was at the checkout aisle and my GOSH could I smell that dang bread... I wanted to cry. I was having such an internal battle, people probably saw me and thought I was like Sybil... :-/
Whatta mess, but I didn't give in! And that was a big win for me at the end of the day. :) I resisted the temptation and did not let my urges get the best of me.Well, I hope to be blogging regularly since the internet is now working. I will soon post a video that I made at the end of 2010. Look for that in the next post or two.
Until then, here's to praying that I have a good weekend (alcohol free, w/ no cheating).
Thank God tomorrow's Friday!
:)

Good morning! Awesome blog- I'm so proud of you! Firstly, can I just say I have been wanting a juicer since the day I saw those catepiller eyebrows of Mr. Juiceman coming out from me on the infomercials of my cable-less childhood. Still looking to get one, but if you do - lemme me know how it goes and I'll support that cause! Perhaps more relevant is lil' secret I'm going to share as a guilty pleasure. It's called http://www.bodyrock.tv/ and it's basically this chick who used to be in some sketchy film stuff but now has a fantastic blog about living healthy and loving life. My friend's mom told me about it, and I actually really do enjoy their workouts / notes and thought you might too!
Alright, back to work but stay warm out there and I'll ttys!

Morning Tina. :) I did Nutrisystem a few years ago to lose my first 30lbs. I see they've reworked their program since then. How's the food now?
I've been keeping a healthy living/weight loss blog for a good 8 months now. I keep it at http://runsqrlrun.blogspot.com if you're interested in checking it out!
You both are awesome. I shall check out that link, K. Dubzzz!... and will also let you know about my juicing experiences in the future.
Sarah, you look PHENOMENAL! I will definitely be following your blog. NS is very different for me... and yes apparently it is "re-worked", but the food is still... ehhh. haha Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tina!
I remember that about the food. It was so...ehh. After a while I got pretty bored of all my options.
Are you still in the Woo?
Sarah, yep.. stillll in the Woo. haha. Man oh man...
