Starting Week 41 with Nutrisystem

I realized on Saturday I had a major break-thru this week. I've always been a stress eater. Before Nutrisystem, whenever something went awry in my life, I headed straight out the door to the nearest drive-thru or if it was too late, stayed home and ate everything in sight. My sister and brother-in-law were in Fort Lauderdale Airport's baggage claim on Friday when the shootings occurred. It was excruciating being so far away and helpless knowing the terror they were enduring. It didn't dawn on me until the following day that I didn't start cramming food into my mouth to comfort myself when my sister called to tell me of the horror. I am so thankful they are okay and pray for the families who weren't so fortunate. I'm also grateful to Nutrisystem for giving me coping skills I wasn't even aware I had.

Lunch with the Ladies

This week our Bible Study group celebrated a 60th birthday for one of the ladies with a luncheon {peek-a-boo, there I am in the 2nd row on the right}. When I weighed myself the next morning, I had gained 2 lbs.!! How is it that it can take me 2 months to lose 2 lbs., but I can gain it in one day...or one meal with no problem? In one of Nutrisystem's live Facebook videos, I think it was Ryan who said if we go off our diet for one meal, it doesn't mean the entire day has to be a loss; just move on and get right back on track for the next meal which is what I did. Hate to think how much I would have gained if I wrote the entire day off.

On Saturday, I worked off the birthday cake, fries and pretzel bread that I indulged in at the party by shoveling...and shoveling...and shoveling some more. One of our neighbors took this picture at our Nature Center earlier in the day. The snow continued into the night with a thick layer of ice underneath which made for quite the workouts. 

Wound up with another .2 loss for the week. What can I say? I'm slow, but consistent...or consistently slow, not sure which. ☺ All things considered this week, I'm amazed to see any loss at all. I'm just happy to see the scale is continuing to move downward. I'm still loving Nutrisystem and even after 40 weeks, I'm not bored with it...that speaks volumes about the food, the company and the program. This brings my 40-week weight loss total to 41.6 lbs.
