Well down another pound ! Yes, in just 2 weeks ! I started my 3rd week yesterday ! I have to be honest here, I feel friggin Fantastic ! Ok, not hat’s not true ! I am so full of energy, my house is cleaner, I have been faithful with my workouts, NutriSystem is making me so stuffed that I can barely eat all the food they require and trust me that’s a first in this girl’s life !

I started thinking. I am sure there are a lot of people out there that want to ” try ” it and maybe don’t want to jump in for an entire month ! I was thinking, Hmm i wonder what they have on ebay ! So sure enough I looked it up and WOW, do they have an assortment at GREAT prices ! I have to tell the truth here, I actually ordered some extra desserts to have on hand, my favorites, like the chocolate chocolate chip pudding !

So what a great way to lose a few pounds, see if you like the food and you are not out an entire month’s food if you happen to not care for ( I have to tell you it’s an awesome program ) This is from a girl that has tried every diet to man kind and I had been a weight watchers member, not once, not twice but 13 times since the time I was 10 !

Anyhow just a quick update tonight ! Tomorrow I am going to start listing Featured products ! So be sure to watch for those !

I am leaving you with some products from Nutrisystem so you can check them out on Ebay ! Just click on the link and it will take you to the auction and item Love it ! If you have never bought on Ebay, its very simple and its very fun ! Trust me, this is from a girl that shops on it often !

Here are some of the products available which I may add have awesome prices !

Have a Great Night,

IN Good Health,

Well I am happy to report that the scale moved down again ! This makes 8.4 lbs !

I am falling in Love with the Nutrisystem program. Although I had lost weight on my own, I needed something to make it easy for the last 20-30 lbs and this is it ! Most of the food is great !

I took the pancake mix and mixed some other goodies ( all within program ) and made it into a cheesecake danish ( tomorrow’s Breakfast ) Delish ! Cant wait and I just finished my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pudding with Chopped almonds ! It’s sooooo good !

I wish I would have started this months ago ! I feel great and have even given up the WINE Since Sunday ! Which is HUGE !

I truly believe that I will be at goal no later than Halloween and I am on plan to lose 11 more by the time vacation to Cancun Rolls around ! I cant say enough about the program ! Here is my day today

Wake up 5 am - Run for 5.7 Miles ( feeling awesome )

Breakfast - Chocolate chip Granola Bar, 1 Cup Skim Milk and 2 pieces of Trader Joe’s Turkey Bacon ( the BEST )

Lunch - Fudge Graham Bar, Spinach salad with dried cranberries, low fat blue cheese crumbles, fat free raspberry salad dressing and sliced almonds, and 1 Southwestern Style Turkey Burger from Trader Joe’s

Afternoon snack - Apple

Dinner - BBQ Meat Over beans and Rice, steamed mushrooms ( couldn’t eat the salad I was too stuffed )

Dessert - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pudding with the rest of my almond allotment

I mean, does that look like a diet It’s unbelievable.

NutriSystem started a special, not only 2 weeks free but an additional 50.00 ! I wish I would have gotten that deal ! I also have coupons for anyone interested in another 30.00 off. I Just need your email address that you would use to order Nutri System and it will be emailed directly to you ! You can use the Contact Me Tab at the top of the page if you are interested ! Awesome deal !

If you have been looking for a great program, look no further. Honestly I did not think I was going to like this program and almost didn’t try it, but soooo Glad I did ! I’m just feeling fantastic !

Tomorrow I’ll be discussing Men driving us nuts ! No really, it’s true ! Actually I’ll be discussing Men and Our Weight Loss Goals.

Until then
In Good Health,
Renee

Where does the time go ? I jumped on here to see I haven’t been here since Friday ! Then the weekend hit and poof, there went the time !

Today I weighed in after my first week of NutriSystem ! Now I had to admit, I did have some cocktails at the Concert Friday Night ( which was just awesome by the way ) And Some wine Sat and Sunday Evening. I can tell you on the days I did that I did not have any more weight loss. But that’s ok because I ended at 6.4 lbs ! WooHOOOO ! Feeling great about it ! I still have not had time to finish the reviews on the 3 diets I have tried, but I have to tell you, Nutrisystem seems to be a keeper ! Cost effective, food is good to great depending on what you add to it and the support system, awesome ! So I’m going to keep on it this month and I have mine on Auto Delivery so I will get my order for next month on the 1st

We have exactly 7 weeks until Cancun ! Too bad I couldn’t lose 6 lbs a week ! HA ! I’ll keep on keeping on and see what happens

I have been working out, running my 5-7 miles a day depending on what time I get started. I have been trying to get up by 5 am but that doesn’t always happen but I’m getting better at it

Ok here is a product review of something I just purchased ! As you may have read we were in Monterey last weekend and the bed was just heavenly ! I slept so great and it had a feather bed pillow top, so Of course upon checkout I had to check out the bed to see what brand this was and then my next mission was to find where I could get one ASAP ! The feather bed is made by a Company called Pacific Coast Feather Company ! As soon as we got home, I ordered one and it arrived in just 3 days ! I put it on Friday and I will tell you this weekend, we both slept GREAT ! I thought we would have to buy a new mattress because I had just been tossing and turning etc, and with this on there ! Oh Its PURE Heaven ! Be sure to check it out, you wont be sorry you did ! Just fantastic Just click on the photo below and it will take you to all the information about it

One of my mission’s here is share items that I personally purchase and try. If I Love them I’ll let you know, if I buy something and hate it, well I’ll let you know that too !

Of course my other mission is to cheer you on with your weight Loss Goals ! So Keep up the good work and keep moving forward !

Fall is coming soon and I have lots of things planned for this site ! Contests, Photo Pages, Challenges and More ! So be sure to subscribe by clicking the tab in the upper right hand corner !

See you all tomorrow !

Well here we go ! The Countdown to Cancun ! Last year I was looking ever so HOT ! Ok, well what’s important is I thought I looked HOT ! I would Love to lose 20 lbs, by then of course would be great. I am giving it my all, my strong attitude and willingness is back after its own vacation ! As you know I have been trying out 3 different meal delivery companies. My reviews will take some time to type, however, I am already leaning towards a favorite which I will post by the end of the week if I still feel the same !!

So I am counting today as day 1. Here we go !

Monday Aug 5th

Workouts - 5 am - Treadmill Running, 5.5-6.2 mph for 60 minutes alternating between a 5-9 % incline. ( Thanks god for good music on my iPod !

8 PM - Jillian Michaels Full Frontal Workout ! OMG ! This was my first time doing this workout and I honestly think I worked up more of a sweat in 30 min then I do running for an hour ! That’s girl is CRAZY ! Holy Cow, but I will see how it goes.

Menu -

Today I followed NutriSystem’s plan. It’s pretty cool as you get to pick what you want to eat, breakfast, lunch and dinner and desert then you add your fruit’s and veggies, etc…And Of course The Getting 3 weeks of Free Food was a good choice with their special above !

Breakfast - Apple Scone, NF Yogurt Berry, Apple

Lunch - Ham and Bean Soup, Green Salad with FF Dressing, 1 Hardboiled Egg and 1/8 Avacado

Afternoon Snack - ( Oops should have had some dairy or protein and a fruit serving but the day got away )

Dinner - Chicken Florentine, Artichoke, Cantaloupe

And for Desert - The MOST Wonderful Chocolate Chip Pudding with whip cream ! How can you go wrong with that !

And because I am a mom, a stressed out one at that, like most of us, I will also be tracking and keeping reign on my Alcohol consumption. For the last Several Years I would say I would have 2 glasses of Red Wine a night at least 5 x a week ! BAD BAD BAD ! I was down to 136 when I started that lovely little ” relaxing ” habit and its’ put me back up to 157 ! So I am happy to report

Alcohol consumption - ZERO ( Of course this has been zero since the Beer Fest we went to over the weekend and the stuff that was going on there, made me think, relax ? These people are nuts ” LOL

So total today Calorie intake was - 1140.2 ( which isn’t probably enough, so I’ll be sure to add those few extra snacks I missed !
Workout Time - 60 Min Running - 30 Min Strength Training !
8 - 8 oz glasses of Water ( Very Important )
Weight - 157 ( Oh great, it will be interesting to see what it will be next week )
Night for Now ! See you all tomorrow ! Keep on thinking THIN ! YOU CAN DO THIS !

Well this last weekend was totally NUTS ! Off to the Sammy Hagar Concert and Scorpions ! What a blast from the PAST ! We took off Friday around Noon, which took 3 hours each way ! So we had to drive back after the concert because the next morning I had to pick our son up from his friends and drive to my moms because we were off to a Beer Fest, Yes a BEER fest in Monterey, CA. We ended up arriving home about 3:30 am Friday night and had to be up at 7 am ! Yikes ! I am too old for this ! Well of course we pull up and there sits a box on the front porch. It’s dark, well of course it’s dark it’s 3:30 AM ! So we pull up and its my order from my next order of Bistro MD. I figure I wanted to try 3 food delivery places and Bistro Md Was 2nd on my list So here’s the food ! Great ! Well I am all excited to check it all out and I finally get it put in the freezer, etc by 4:30 am and all I know is that 7 am is coming fast ! Headed with my son to my mom’s, visited for a bit and off we went to the Monterey Brew Festival ! It was fun but boy was it crowded ! Then it was back to our room at the spin drift inn on cannery row and out for an ” early ” night. Well that early night ended up being until 2 am ! Holy Cow ! I am getting to old for that stuff ! I did dance alot so hopefully wore off some calories there ! So we got home late Sunday afternoon, did some things around here on the farm, including taking care of all our new chickens and ducks ! Holy COW they are HUGE !! I’ll get a picture over the next few days and post it so everyone can see it !

So Monday comes, Son is at school, we run our errands and lo and behold another BOX on the front porch, this time a BIG box. Of course my husband who weighs, oh 100 lbs WET says ” what on earth is that ” . I said Oh, I think that’s my diet food. He freaks out and says ” You have got to be kidding me, AGAIN ? ” So I told him that Nutri System had a great deal and I was trying 3 so that was my 3rd ! So I am switching back and forth for one week, trying Bistro MD and Nutri System. Either way Cancun is coming with or without me so I need to get my butt in gear !

Also starting today, I will be posting my menu for the day, my workout and weight, but weight will be weekly as I am going to give up the daily weighing !

I am also going to do reviews on all of the 3 diet Meal delivery places I have tried, which have been Diet-To-Go, Bistro MD, and Nutri System. I will give my pro’s and con’s on each and let you know what I think ! I even have lots of pictures to show of the food

So that’s the update ! Hope everyone has a great week !

Keep on keeping on and Never Give up and Never Give In !

I will add the Nutri System Coupons as well as the Bistro MD coupons if you want to check out their websites !



I am totally excited and ready for the next step of my journey ! Are you with me ??
