Week One!

As previously mentioned (ever so briefly), I have been dieting, yet again, with the help of the folks of NutriSystem.

Those of you who know me are well aware of my bad habit of yo-yo dieting. My weight is something I have regretably fought the majority of my teenage and adult life. I used to be quite active in my 12 years of skating, but once I hit college with no real regimine to follow after my long hours in the rink, I ballooned. I wouldn't say it happened overnight, but I would say it has been a steady climb to reaching the heights most of us women, and some men, never wish to obtain.

Now that I have gotten to a point where I weigh as much as I did at the height of my preganacy, I am fed up with the excess weight I carry around each day. So once again, I turn to others to help me find the way. This time I chose the NutriSystem program for the sake of simplicity. As it has been mentioned before, my life is SUPER jam packed and leaves little room for cooking and always making the proper choices, not to mention my lack of self-control if a Dr. Pepper is anywere in a 100 yard radius on my body! Dr. Pepper has proven to be my largest downfall! UGH...

This is where I will add a before photo, embarassing as it might be to me, but I feel it will help me to show myself at it's lowest point and allow me, and the rest of the blogging world, to see my progress.

Can we say...YUCK???!!!

This by far is not a recent picture, but it does show off some of the things I would like to change about myself! Notice the flabby arms, the double chin and the back fat! This was actually taken about a year ago, but is a good representation of how I DON'T want to look! And who knows, last week I may have even looked worse!

Moving on...

Well it's offically been a week since I started NutriSystem, and I am already down 4 lbs! That can't be a bad thing right? The food is actually pretty good, and the motivation is definately there to make myself feel better, healthier and prettier over all!

Each week my goal is to report my loss (and I hope it's loss) and possibly share a picture of how I look now. I would take one tonight but I am just too tired to do that, so maybe I will take one in the morning.

WISH ME LUCK!!
