Losing weight is probably the number one New Years Resolution and I have made it mine many times during my life.  Some of those years I have been successful at it and others I have not.

Guess what?  It’s on my list again this year and I am determined that I am doing this!!  I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!!  I want to feel good about myself and be healthier. I want to have energy and the will to get out and do more things!!  I realize that no one can do this for me…….I have to be the one that wants it bad enough that I follow through with what I KNOW I need to do!

So, with that being said, I am gearing up to be successful.  Here is what I am doing:

  1.  I am joining Weight Watchers on Monday, January 4th.
  2. I am planning my meals and prepping ahead of time so that I am prepared to make healthier choices.
  3. I am going to get in some sort of exercise everyday.
  4. I am going to drink more water.
  5. I am going to track what I eat everyday.

Here are a few items that I have bought recently that will help me achieve my goals:

 1aStrivv Smart Pedometer Bundle $24.53 (reg. $120)

Make walking to lunch, taking the stairs, and walking dogs a fun experience that motivates you to get fit.

The Striiv Smart Pedometer has a high resolution, color touchscreen and built in apps designed to make daily fitness fun. Striiv’s activity motivation system was designed by leading experts in game design and behavior change with one goal in mind–to get you to walk a lot more.

1a Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD $6.96 (reg. $14.98) – I bought this last year and I love it!!  It is a great DVD and you can get a good workout in 20 minutes!

The program includes three complete 20-minute workouts which progress by level of intensity. Start with Level 1 and advance through Level 3 – in no time you’ll achieve a lean, shredded body.

1a Infuser Water Bottle $10.99 (reg. $29.99) – I plan to drink a lot more water this year – I am getting off of the sweet tea!!

Nutrisystem: Week 2 – Starting My Day The Right Way! #NSNation

It is so hard to believe that I have just finished week 2 of my Nutrisystem Journey!  It has flown by and doesn’t feel like a diet at all!  On other diets it is just about now that I feel like I can’t go on any longer and end up quitting, but with all the great food I’ve been eating, I don’t have that feeling!

This week I am going to talk about breakfast!  Now usually I am not a breakfast eater, which I know is not good. On Nutrisystem it is required that you start your day with one of their many choices of entrees and a protein shake (which I talked about last week…delicious!!). There are about 30 breakfast items that you can choose from but since I am not a big breakfast eater and am in a huge hurry every morning, I chose the options that were grab and run type entrees (except for the pancakes, which I eat on the weekends).  I just love the banana nut muffins, the cinnamon roll, and the pancakes.  I did order a couple of the omelets, which I really didn’t expect to like much, but was quite surprised at how good it  tasted!  I may order more of those next time because I think I need to eat higher protein items and stay away from the sweeter items…maybe save them for a special treat.

All in all, I have to say that this diet is quite enjoyable and I know that I can stick with it….it gets easier every day!

I am a little disappointed that I only lost 1 lb. this week and I have not cheated at all, but as I told you, this menopausal body doesn’t let go of fat easily!  The way I have to look at this is that at least I lost something and didn’t gain!  I will just plug along…even if it’s one pound at a time!

To see why I chose to start this Nutrisystem Journey GO HERE and then see how I did on Week 1 RIGHT HERE!
