Starting Week 18 on Nutrisystem

It's week 18 with Nutrisystem ~ time sure flies when you're having fun! This past week included a getaway with my sister. I packed a bag filled with Nutrisystem breakfasts, lunches, snacks, powerfuels and water.  I didn't get in as much exercise while away as I have been and we ate dinners out, so I caught myself worrying about this week's weigh-in more than a few times. The good news is we had a wonderful time and I actually missed my morning walks in the pool. This is a first for me, I have never enjoyed exercising enough to miss it. Major break-thru here!!! The bad news is I gained 2 lbs. while I was gone. 

There is a silver lining though! Seeing the gain actually motivated me to push myself even harder when I returned home.  I told a few friends about the weight gain and they made sure I got in some extra walking around the neighborhood, biking to the bay, and water walking this weekend. I'm very appreciative of the encouragement and support I continue to receive on this journey. It seems as though nearly everyone in our community knows I'm on the Nutrisystem plan. I wonder if they all read the above note my friends, Sandy and Donna, and I wrote in the sand at our quaint little bay beach. ☺☺We'll have to recreate the pic at Rehoboth Beach after the crowds dissipate in the Fall to capture the foaming surf when the tide is rolling in. Jumping waves...there's a thought for a fun exercise, I wonder how many calories that burns? ☺

It was a wonderful week all around and I'm anxious to see where the scale ended up. 

Down .6 lbs. for the week. These stubborn lbs. sure don't come off me as easily as they go on, but I'm happy I was able to work off the "getaway gain" and grateful to see a slight loss for the week. {feeling determined}
