Nutrisystem Week 3: Food Tracking & PMS #NSNation

Nutrisystem Food Tracker

I have now been on the Nutrisystem program for 3 weeks now and I have been so happy with my results. I am able to eat other foods, and just recently even  went out to eat! Sure, I only had a salad but it feels good to make the right choices. One thing I have to hand to this program is the inclusion of chocolate. I would normally say that I don't eat a lot of chocolate, but there is one time during the month where I like to eat chocolate every day, and I can do that on this program, which is … [Read more...]

Nutrisystem Week #2 – More Food Talk & Weight Loss {#NSNation}

Fat

I have officially been rocking the Nutrisystem diet for two weeks now, and I have to say I am loving the food. Not only do I have a huge variety to choose from daily, I have also started to get in the groove of figuring out how to pair my food in a way that minimizes hunger, and literally have to force myself to down the snacks. There are a few things that I want to touch on in this post, that I think you may find helpful for your own NS journey. - The Bars: When I pulled the food out … [Read more...]

Nutrisystem Food Review & Week 1 Results #NSNation

Nutrisystem

So last week I announced that I was selected to be a Nutrisystem Blogger  and asked if you had any questions about the program. Many of you asked about two things: 1) The Food 2) How much weight I want to lose. So I will answer the second question first, cause I'm cool like that. As far as weight loss I am hoping to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 113 lbs. Which means from the time I started last week I needed to lose a total of 13.5 lbs. I know that may not seem like a lot of weight to … [Read more...]

Healthier Fast Food Is An Option!

Moes_Logo

My husband has been a fan of Moe's Southwest Grill since we moved to Mobile. Mainly because they have $1 burrito Mondays and everyone in his shop eats there! As a matter of fact, they eat there so much that they posted a sign in the window thanking the USCG for their patronage :). How funny is that?! Anyway, even though he frequents the location often, I had never been. Not because I don't love Mexican style food, believe me I do; but mainly because I didn't think the food would be very … [Read more...]

Running To Lose Weight {Are You A Running Mom?}

Schwinn-Arrow-Double Jogger

Are you a running mommy? I have always wanted to be a runner. Not because I enjoy running one bit, but because I think running looks awesome, as do the runners. Runners bodies tend to be super fit and muscular, and not in a Hulk way, but in a healthy way. The only problem is that I hate running. IT. HURTS. My friends swear by jogging strollers, not just to stay in shape but to bring that baby along, but I'm on the fence.  It's not that I don't want to bring my girls along. It's … [Read more...]

Shedding The Last 10 Pounds {Eat Clean & Workout}

Eat Clean Stripped Tosca Reno

I have been trying to get rid of the last 10 pounds of my fourth pregnancy for almost 18 months. I am READY. If there's one thing I have learned about weight loss, it's that it is a choice. You have to make a choice to stop eating the crap, stop being lazy, and stop making excuses. I have not been ready to make those commitments. I was only ready to see the results. I was sick of being fat, but wasn't really ready to do anything about it. So now I am please to announce to myself, and the … [Read more...]

Naked Fitness – The 28 Day Program from Andrea Metcalf #couchcritics #maptruvia

Naked Fitness

I read lots of  health & fitness books. Not because I am always looking to lose weight, but because I enjoy learning new tips and finding great new recipes. When I received this book I was actually using a different program (I'll be posting about that soon). It really couldn't have come a a better time because the program I was using was completely the opposite of what I should have been using and thanks to Naked Fitness I decided to quit using it. While I haven't tried the 28 day … [Read more...]
