Starting Week 29 with Nutrisystem

I purchased a few items last week in my new size. While it's fun to try on "old" clothes to measure progress, I find it even more exciting to fit into smaller sizes. I also think it's important to splurge on a few items in your new size...for a couple of reasons. One, you'll look and feel better when you're not wearing clothes that are baggy and two, if you start putting some lbs. back on, you'll notice it immediately when your clothes start becoming tight and can make some tweaks to your menu before the weight gain gets out of control. 

I'm loving this weather and have been riding my bike as often as I can now that our outdoor pool is closed. I packed a NutriCrush® Shake along for the ride my friend, Donna, and I took yesterday .... soooo delicious. 

I noticed the weeks that I exercise heavily, I don't lose as much weight as anticipated so last week I started to finally buy into the premise that muscle weighs more than fat...well, sort of. Still, I kept wondering doesn't a lb. equal a lb. irregardless of its composition? I thought it was time to find out once and for all. Turns out it is a myth that muscle weighs more than fat. However, fat can take up to as much as four times the space of muscle which is more dense. Therefore, a person who has more muscle can weigh the same as another person of the same height who has more fat, yet the person with more muscle tissue will likely be {a lot} thinner. 

With moderate exercise, I lost 1.2 lbs. last week for a 28-week total of 34.2 lbs. Yippeeeeee!!! Thank you, Nutrisystem! xox
