Nutrisystem Week 25

Nutrisystem Week 25 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I lost 0.6 pounds for a total weight loss of 32.0 pounds. I’ve discovered the last pounds come off a little slower than before. But that is okay. I feel stronger and more healthy each day. In fact, I just bought my first bikini in about 10 years. But the real highlight of the week was some amazing news on the family front.

If you have been following my journey, you know my father has also joined me on this Nutrisystem adventure. And he went for his first check up since starting the program around the end of November. The doctor’s report was nothing less than astounding.

First, he landed himself a solid victory in his office’s annual “Biggest Loser” contest. Since Thanksgiving, he’s lost 37.4 pounds. As a side note, my uncle, father and myself have lost over a hundred pounds combined. But here’s the real juice. My father’s BMI has dropped from 31 to 26. His blood pressure fell from 132/92 to a picturesque 120/82. His triglycerides fell so far, he was able to go off a medication that costs a whopping $3500 a year. (Nutrisystem basically pays for itself). And the doctor reported, he’s likely to go off cholesterol medication if he keeps it up.

I’m bragging on my dad… only because he’s such an inspiration to me. I am so glad we’ve embarked on this journey together. And when I hear news like this… it makes me realize how impactful this lifestyle can be. Not only are we all happier, but healthier.

Nutrisystem Week 24

Nutrisystem Week 24 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I lost 0.2 pounds for a total weight loss of 31.4 pounds. Not a huge number like I enjoy, but hey… at least it is in the right direction. I knew these last 15 would be slower and a little more difficult than the initial 30. I’ve found that my body is changing differently over the last couple weeks. I continue to tone and lose inches, but the fat loss isn’t happening as quickly. But I am enormously encouraged by my measurements. I’ve lost a total of 15 inches since December 1st. And incorporating barre classes, yoga and strength training, I’ve found my endurance has improved and I just plain feel better! Bottom line – I am sold on sweating everyday.

Nutrisystem Week 23

 Nutrisystem Week 23 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I lost 1.0 pound for a total weight loss of 31.2 pounds. Nice to be back on track after posting a gain last week. While I had lots of events and didn’t devote as many meals as I’d like to Nutrisystem, I kept up my commitment to exercise. I even returned to my practice of yoga for the first time in two years. I can’t believe how sore I am – goes to show you that yoga really does build muscle tone. And I must say… I felt pretty darn amazing upon finishing up that class.

Just a little update on goals: I have surpassed my initial goal of losing 30 pounds. I’ve decided to shoot for an additional 15 pound weight loss in three months. Just in time for the tail end of bikini season, right? Excited to continue this journey and share it with all of you!

Nutrisystem Week 22

 Nutrisystem Week 22 // Belle Belle BeautyThis week, I gained 1.7 pounds for a total weight loss of 30.2 pounds. Whoopsie. But I can say after 21 weeks straight of posting steady or a loss, I accept this gain. And I am using it to move forward with greater inspiration and verve. Like the above says, I will continue to look forward and not let this week’s outcome dictate my future.  I packed loads of Nutrisystem for my trip to Dallas this weekend, but elected to partake in the amazing conference food. And I’ve been doing a lot more strength training than cardio this week. Those two factors, I believe, resulted in a bit of a step backwards.

But I am not discouraged. I am even more confident that another week of discipline and perhaps some long runs will turn the boat around. It is easy when you have delicious entrees! My newest favorites are the stuffed chicken breasts – one with mushrooms and the other with broccoli and cheese. Totally yummy! And like I just mentioned, I’ve tied up my running shoes again after a five year hiatus. Feels good to be pounding the pavement again.

And some super cool news: Nutrisystem now offeres a 5-Day Jumpstart Your Weight Loss Kit exclusively at nearly 2,000 Walmart.

Nutrisystem Week 20

 Nutrisystem Week 20 // Belle Belle Beauty

This week, I technically didn’t lose any weight so my total weight loss remains at 29.0 pounds. I say technically because I did have a bit of a victory this week. After celebrating at the beach, I came back with 2.4 extra pounds. After just four days of eating Nutrisystem meals and working out diligently, I am back to where I was before the vacation. And you know what? It was worth it to reward myself. I’ve discovered it is all about balance. As I get closer to my goal, I know this will be a life-long routine, keeping my weight in check and making adjustments if things start to get out of whack. And I am okay with that. Because I just feel so darn good.

Nutrisystem Week 19

Screen Shot 2013-04-03 at 3.21.47 PM

This week, I lost 0.2 pounds for a total weight loss of 29.0 pounds. As you read this, I’ll be soaking up the sun and salt at the beach. So excited to celebrate approaching the 30 pound mark with some oldest and bestest friends. So, yes… I am celebrating. But after this journey, what am I really wanting to indulge in? For me, my appetite has changed a bit. Instead of fried fish and fries, I am craving oysters, shrimp, fruit and a glass of white wine. After investing so much time and energy, it is almost like your body decides it craves things differently. And to make sure I hit that 30 pound mark next week, the running shoes are coming with me.

And just in time for some celebration – for those of you who have had a great run on Nutrisystem, check out this $40,000 Nutrisystem Giveaway. Yes… I said 40K. Now through May 22nd, Nutrisystem wants to hear success stories, past or present. Click here to enter.
