Nutrisystem Nation- Week 1

So Week One on Nutrisystem how did it all go right? Well Today would be 1 week from the day I started. The first day went by very easily except I need to increase my water intake and eat more fruits, vegetables and protein/dairy items. Yes that's right you don't only eat what they send you in the mail. You get a main entree and then you have to have sides to go with it that fit into the Nutrisystem diet plan. Having the support online and on my IPOD Touch as a App has really helped me know what I can have and what not to have and to keep track of what I ate and so on.
Day 2 through 4 alot more challenging for me. I liked the food  and ate what I needed to mostly minus a few dairies and vegetables but my issue was I was having my sweet cravings and the one dessert they give you is awesome but I wanted more but I stuck with it.
Day 5 through 7 alot easier. I was beginning to understand what to eat and how much and I wasn't craving the sweets anymore. I still need to increase my water intake but doing any where from 5 to 7 cups a day so getting there. I still have issues with eating as much as they say. I am not a big eater. I am more of a snacker all day. My challenge has always been when I eat right I never get enough calories. This week I stayed around 1000 to 1150 calories but one day I did only had about 800 calories which I know was bad! Next week I am gonna try to do better!
I also was exercising to help with my weight loss and shape up. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I do the P90X CardioX workout which is a 45 minutes intense workout but a good one. Tuesday and Thursdays I do 15 minutes of Yoga and 15 minutes of Cardio kickboxing. Saturday and Sunday I don't do anything but I am a mom to 6 kids kids so I am always moving lol.

My Opinion so Far:
The Food was really good. My favorite Breakfasts so far are the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and the Apple Strudel Scone. My favorite lunches have been the Chicken fajita melt and Margherita Pizza. My favorite Dinners so far are the Thick crust pizza and the Glazed chicken tenders. The desserts were awesome I love the Fudge swirl sundae and the mint cookie crisp. MMM Yummy! I wasn't too fond of the Nutrichocolates or chocolate raspberry bar but they weren't awful just not my favorite.

Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program- Pre-program post

So I was so excited to be told I am part of the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger program. I have heard alot about the program and have always wondered if it really works. So for being part of the program I get 3 months of the food and online support free in return for weekly blog post about my progress and a monthly video post. I am so excited to get started.

I have went through 6 pregnancies in the last 12 1/2 years and my body has been stretched every way possible lol. I love my kids and wouldn't change it no matter what but now I am done having kids I would like to get rid of my mommy belly and thighs. I am only 5 foot 2 inches so very short ha ha but I am now up to 130 pounds which is how much I weighed when I gave birth to my oldest lol. I have always been around 105 pounds my whole life. My whole family has always been really thin until after kids with the exception of my one sister who still is only 90 pounds. I do know I can expect to be 105 again but I would like to be at least 115 and toned up again. I want to go from a size 9 in jeans to a size 5 at least I mean I would love a size 3 but not gonna push my luck lol.

 I have starting the P90X exercising for 3 weeks now and its intense but alot of the workouts I cant do with my prior injuries and illnesses so I just mainly do the 45 minutes of the cardio every other day and sometimes daily depending on how I feel. I have tries alot of these fad diets out there to no prevail. I have tried many diet pills just to get major headaches and sick. I tried different exercise programs but I think diet and exercise go hand in hand. Most diets I have tried there isn't much variety other than salads, fruits, and yogurt and chicken.  The first week goes great then starts the getting sick of the same old foods over and over and I give up or I am always starving and weak and the diet doesn't fulfill me. So I am excited to see How Nutrisystem works, how their food tastes, and how my progress goes. I know they have a huge selection of different foods so I am not worried of getting sick of the same old food and that is a great thing plus any diet that includes desserts has to be good right ha ha.

Right now I am waiting for my first shipment of food and then I will start the system and start my journey with Nutrisystem and posting weekly about my journey. So make sure you come back and check them out weekly and give me some support and motivation because I will need it lol! So keep your eyes open for them very soon!
