Mid-Week Eval

It's sunday and I am stalling. I have a pile of school work to do but I am avoiding starting and it's almost 9pm so basically I wasn't very productive today. Thus far I am doing well with nutrition and exercise. I am hoping to lose 4 lbs this week. I have worked with the trainer 5x thus far and I have been 90% on the program. I went to a b-day cookout lastnight. I brought with me a salad to eat but I did have some mac and cheese but I didn't eat my NS entree. Tomorrow is my last day at the clinic the semester is winding down. My students have their final on Aug 4 and I have one final on Weds and one on Friday and school will be officially over for me. I am planning some type of vacay before school starts back and I start my new job. I didn't weigh in this morning. I plan to wait until Tuesday when I meet with the trainer. If I lose at least 2 lbs I will have lost 10 lbAfs in 3 WEEKS!! My goal is 12lbs maybe I should do some cardio tonite....After this week I will up date my measurements. I have a lot to prove to myself... I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!!!

Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in

I'm on my way out the door but I had to post my weight for this past week. I am down -3lbs. Total of 8lbs in 2 WEEKS YAY! I am very excited to see that because I had to modify a few times last week. Next week my goal is 4lbs. I know that sounds ambitious but I am going to at least try. I want to lose at total of 15lbs in 4 weeks. Let's see if I can do it. I gotta head out. Week 3 starts today.

My official weigh in is tomorrow. But of course I weighed myself this morning and I am happy with the results. I was worried this past week was rough with all the events that we going on all at the same time I will post them tomorrow according to both the gym and home scale. Weight loss is hard. I have enjoyed NS thus far. I am quickly approaching week 3. I can't believe how fast time goes by. It's almost time for me to call and make some changes for my autodelivery. As of now I am going to stay on NS 2 more months for total of 3 mths. During mth 3 I plan to do the flex plan where you only get 5 days/week worth of food and you prepare your own 2x/ week. The one drawback to NS is the cost. Just ordering the food is not bad at all but these weekly grocery store visits for fruit/veggies and other misc things can get costly. I am pondering going to mu local farmer's market to see if the prices are better than the grocery store. I have spend $150 or so in the last 2 weeks in addition to the NS foods. That adds up quickly. I also know how much I was spending eating unhealthy and this is gravely more important to me. Today is my students last lecture exam. The final is next the first week of august but I least I will be off for awhile after this week ends. I am also contemplating starting Zumba my PT is an instructor, I may give it a try once I finally get some free time.

making time

i am one of those people who do so much and never really make time for myself. so i have decided that i gave to start back making time for me and pampering myself. the only thing that i do for myself on a consistently is get hair hair done weekly. but for the last 3 weeks i haven't even being doing that. so yesterday after my training session. i went and got a pedicure and sadly to say i had to rush out of there because i had to go to a funeral yesterday. so i couldn't even enjoy that like i wanted to. so today i decided that i would go get a massage. at least once a week i am going to do something for myself besides getting my hair done.

Mid-Week Eval

This week has been a little rough for me. I have tried to make the best decisions nutritionally. What I have learned this week is about planning. I plan to purchase a little cooler that I can store in my car with fruits/veggies, water and if necessary NS meal. I am constantly on the go with either my business, school, work. I feel like every minute in my life is accounted for. It gets rough doing all this. I am on like the last real week of both schools the one I attend and work. So that is great!! For this week I decided to make meal planner for the week. My weigh in day is on Weds and I did a mid week weigh in and I have not lost any weight thus far this week and that sucks. I was aiming for at least 3lbs but doesn't look like I'm going to make it. Which is disappointing considering. I have only worked out with my trainer 2x thus far for this weigh in week. I plan to get on my treadmill today or my husband and I will go walking this evening.

planning...

Today is my grandmother's sister funeral and I am trying to plan my meals accordingly. Having entrees available are great but trying to add all the veggies on such on the go can be daunting. I am currently working ono the meal plan for today. I am supposed to be reviewing NS food with this blog so let me do so. Yesterday,for breakfast I ate multrigrain cereal, fresh strawberries, and yogurt I made a prafait. It was delicious. Lunch-red beans and chicken sausage. Honestly, when I opened the package I thought the smell was awful but I followed the instructions and added some shrimp, and 2/3 cups of peas and carrots, very filling. Dinner- italian flatbread pizza I added turkey pepperoni, onions and shredded FF cheddar cheese. I didn't eat the veggies servings because I was exhausted. I also enjoyed a NS fudge brownie for dessert. After officially being on NS for a week and half, I can honestly say that I like the food there are like 1 million reciepes out there which makes you want to order more to try all the different options. I plan to monitor my results for this morning and stay on NS through our anniversary. I will order the flex plan on the 3rd months so that I can start making my own meals according to the guidelines. I am not going to get back on the scale until next Tuesday with the trainer. I have an training appt today and I am going for an pedi and massage tomorrow. My trainer is a licensed massage therapist as well. AWESOME!

flexing...

Yesterday was tough. I had a million things to do and I was running my tail off. I had to flex for lunch and dinner. So for lunch I had a SW grilled chicken salad w/ FF dressing from Chickfila it was the healthiest decision I could make at the time. I thought I was going to be able to go home and make my NS lunch but I would have been late for work so I took the plunge. I counted it as my lunch veggie and protein serving and I had half a banana for fruit serving. The only thing that was missing was the lunch entree. For midafternoon snack I had some cantelope and water I saved the protein for dinner. So when I finally made it home I ate the NS lunch chicken noodle soup and my carb was 2 slcs of 40 cal whole wheat bread. Then we had to go to my dad's bday dinner. I ordered grilled shrimp, steamed broccoli, side salad and 1/2 c. jasmine rice (which was not the best choice). For dessert NS chocolate pound cake at home. For my first time eating out since starting last Weds I don't think I did too bad.
