Okay, confession time. I have never not been able to lose weight. Ever. This summer was not good for me. Mom and Teri were doing so awesome and NOTHING was working for me, though I had been seriously trying for six months. I was not a happy person. (Some of you may have noticed. ;). I was also off my thyroid pills which did not go well either.) So, as soon as David got a job, I started Nutri System. Which was hard, because I didn't like the idea of not being able to do it myself. But desperate times.....
For the two weeks I have been on it, I have learned a ton. I was still eating too much. (Even though I had cut my food intake by half!) I was not drinking enough water, and the food I was eating were all the wrong foods.... The first week was hard. I was hungry ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAY. I also had two birthday's and family come to visit. Which means lots of yummy yummy food. But, I stayed strong. The second week was much easier. Now, I don't even eat my allotted amount. I do eat lots and lots and lots of raw vegetables. Which, I don't like and have never done before. But, it's totally working. In two weeks, I have lost EIGHT awesome pounds!!!!! YEAH!!!! I'm so happy. I'm going to continue through to Thanksgiving, see where I am, and decide if I want to keep going to Christmas.
I was thinking of not saying anything then surprising everyone at Christmas. But, I'm way too excited. Thanks to Teri and Mom for being such great inspirations!
I'm also wanting a bike. Teri, you'll have to give me some hints on what to look for.
PS I'm also walking up and downhill for 30 minutes a day while pushing two kids in a double stroller. My legs are getting into awesome shape.
