Im not counting days anymore... LOL

It is too hard to remember.

I didn't write yesterday because I was ABSOLUTELY exhausted. I went to bed at 7:00pm!
Those of you who know me, I don't go to bed until 11:30pm or later! I had a raging headache and couldn't function.
Yearbook was due Monday, and I didn't make that deadline. My new goal is by Friday. I got alot done today by myself and hope I can have it all done and out of my hair by Friday! Yeah!
This Friday we leave for Hot Air Balloon Camping! I can't wait! I need to get away! I'm hoping it will not be windy, as it has been for the last couple of days. Keep your fingers crossed!
Not much else is new...not sure if I will lose any weight this week. I got "Aunt Edna' and have been very munchie lately! LOL Ive tried to stay munching on the Nutrisystem for most of it. I faltered a little over the weekend and am now back on. (That kettle corn at the art festival was too hard to not eat!) LOL
Some good news though: I can fit easily into my jean shorts that were VERY TIGHT on me! I can even wear a belt again! I'm so happy that all the food I've had! It has been really good- especially the desserts/snacks!

Ready for a flashback?

Confessions on Day 22

I wasn't sure when I would come out and tell you all...but no reason why I shouldn't today.

I am excited to say I have joined Nutrisystem.

Yes, the ones Larry the Cable Guy, Marie Osmond, Tony Orlando and other celebrities have joined.
Reasons why I joined were numerous:

• get my body back in shape
• back problems getting worse with so much weight on me
• want to have more energy
• help my knee out
  
• want to be active for Cope and Tierney
• want to feel sexy, alive, energized, young...again
• want to wear the cute clothes I have, not the 'fat shorts' and oversized t-shirts that cover up my fat
• be able to go to any store and buy any clothes and have them fit
  
• want to be able to wear a bathing suit and feel good, not embarrassed
• want to fit into a M/L shirt, not L/XL
  
• want to try skiing, water sports and hiking again
• so I won't have to wear sweats again because nothing else fits! <--you all know this is true!
  

So, I started last Thursday (yes, before Easter) and just finished up my first week on the program. I will say the food is great, filling, and already made for me! The program comes with a food log and you include fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein and of course dessert! I haven't eaten anything I don't like yet, and that is the truth!
The Nutrisystem website is literally chock full of great recipes, ideas, helpful hints and most importantly- people going through the same things I am. (I sound like a commercial!)
So....I will also be posting my progress on here every now and then, as well as our family news.
Wish me good luck!
Here is a 'starting' picture of me-UGH.
