A New Way of Life

Current weight:  295.8 Loss to date:  6.2 lbs I haven't eaten anything at this point, that I wouldn't eat again.  A few breakfast items I'll make sure I order extra of.  Still...mostly uneventful week. The weather's been up and down. 30 minute walk at lunch unless the weather turns bad.  Today was nice (cold) but nice.  But after the walk I felt kind of tired.  I didn't really get my energy back. I seeming to be falling short in three categories: Not eating enough veggies. Not getting enough water. Not working out after work. Walking at lunch is just 'meditative' it's not about working out hard.  I still want to train to run, but it just seems like I haven't had my energy for awhile.  

So, I got my Nutrisystem box on Saturday after work.  I found out that I can log in and have them hold it at the FedEx stop.  Which is perfect for me, because that means I can go on Saturday or Sunday and pick it up, and I don't have the chance of the neighbors deciding they want my box.  I really did not like the idea of delivery/drop at my door. I cleared my cabinets, which wasn't hard since I had cleared them before the liquid diet.  And I separated my food out.  I decided I wasn't going to start until Monday, that is of course when many famous dieters start their "new day."  Monday is like the New Years day of the week.  It's that day when you can have a fresh start.  I had my little (and by little, I mean li-tt-le) muffin.  Ok, pretty good, I grabbed up my stuff for lunch, a couple of snacks, a cup for ice water, and off I went.  It really has been uneventful.  The weather has been blah, and the cold has been bugging me....

Guilt kept me from posting on Monday, and Tuesday, but I woke up this morning after a little soul searching and decided.  Things have got to change!  But if there is one thing I have learned.  I cannot be left to my own devices to make the changes.  So this morning I got on line and ordered "Nutrisystem."  Here's why: 1. I have been on it before and had fantastic results .  I went on the program in 2008 and in the five months that I was on the program I lost 35-40 lbs. Didn't feel deprived.  What went wrong?  I moved to New Orleans where a good restaurant is literally a stones throw from anywhere. Guess what? I'm not living in New Orleans, and that should make it a little easier on me.  2. The cost of Nutrisystem is going to be the same as my current food bill .  And each month the cost drops a little, so yeah for me.  Plus since I signed up today, I got an extra $20 knocked off the bill.  3.
