Weekly Weigh In : Weeks 27 & 23 #NSNation

It’s been 27 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 23 weeks for Kaytlin. I am just going to cut to the chase. It was a baaad weekend for food around here, but I think Kaytlin and I did a great job controlling ourselves! Friday and Saturday we had our garage sale. Kaytlin purchased junk food to sell, and we ate (some of) the leftovers. Friday we had pizza for lunch. It’s just what we do the first day of a sale… takeout. Neither one of us wanted to … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In : Weeks 26 & 22 #NSNation

It’s been 26 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 22 weeks for Kaytlin. What a wild and crazy weekend it was here. I’m sorry our post is so late. We participated in our neighborhood garage sale Friday and Saturday… then Sunday was Mothers Day. Unfortunately I had failed to plan ahead with my post. I’m here now, though! ;O) I tell you what… it feels so good to declutter your house. It declutters the mind, too… kwim? The overflowing storage room … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In Weeks 25 & 21 #NSNation

It’s been 25 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 21 weeks for Kaytlin. What a wild and crazy week it was here. I had a date meal out with my husband, Easter, roofers pounding over my head for two days, Emma & Ethan at each other’s throats all week… yadda yadda yadda. I’m not going to try to make any excuses. It is what it is… an off week. I tried to be on my best behavior, but I am a stress eater. I was completely stressed out with my … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In : Weeks 24 and 20 #NSNation

It’s been 24 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 20 weeks for Kaytlin. Last week I told (and showed) you about cleaning out my closet. All of my “too big” clothes are now gone. Well, Kaytlin followed suit and cleaned out her closet as well. I am sure the DAV was happy to see all of our clothes coming in, but our empty closets made us sad. I had planned on heading to Fashion Bug (because I had a coupon) but Kaytlin’s bank account was empty from … [Read more...]

What a Mom Wants: Chilis Margarita Madness Review & $20 gc GIVEAWAY [CLOSED]

"Mom's Deserve a Margarita on Mother's Day!" Mothers Day is quickly approaching… have you made plans for her special lunch/dinner yet? No?! How about Chilis? Kaytlin and I stopped in for lunch while out shopping. We were a bit apprehensive because we were pretty sure there wasn’t much on the menu for vegetarians, but we decided to give it a go anyway. It’s been ages since I had eaten at Chilis. I have only been eating vegetarian for six months … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In : Weeks 23 & 19 #NSNation

It’s been 23 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 19 weeks for Kaytlin. It was a big week at our house! Our long awaited elliptical finally arrived to help kick our butts into gear. I was able to use it twice this week… the first time I had noodle legs after using it only 10 minutes. The second time I was able to push 20 minutes out before I had to quit. YEAH me! :O) My other big moment was emotional and scary for me. I had discussed with my … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In: Weeks 22 & 18 #NSNation

It’s been 22 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 18 weeks for Kaytlin. What a frustrating week for me this week. I was such a good girl. I ate exactly what was on the list and nothing more. I even had that nasty terrible metallic taste for nearly a full week! I slipped off the wagon a bit yesterday and was greeted with a BIG FAT ZIP on the scale today. *sigh* On the other hand, I had a beyond the scale victory! I am officially down another … [Read more...]

Weekly Weigh In: Weeks 21 & 17 #NSNation

It’s been 21 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 17 weeks for Kaytlin. This week was pretty uneventful for both of us. We have been (im)patiently waiting for the weather to warm up and and also for our elliptical to finally ship (April 1). Now we are waiting for it to arrive! Confession time here. Friday and Saturday I was a pretty good girl, but I had a couple of bowls of homemade popcorn at the end of the day. Sunday… well, we went to the … [Read more...]

#WIN Nutrisystem 10 Days of Fresh Frozen Select Foods GIVEAWAY [CLOSED]

I have been on the Nutrisystem program for five months now. I liked the program so much, my 18 year old daughter joined and she has been on the program for four months now. I have lost 30.8 pounds and Kaytlin has lost 32.4. Between the two of us we have lost a small child! There are so many more benefits of being on the Nutrisystem program than the pounds lost (as wonderful as those may be!). We are learning how to eat proper portions, what … [Read more...]
