We successfully made it through the hubby's birthday in week 3 of our Nutrisystem program and managed to still lose weight! My husband celebrated his 27th birthday on June 7 and it was a cheat day if there ever was one. He insisted on going all out - dinner, dessert, and a movie! We stuck to the diet all other days and were able to make up for our yummy {but oh-so-fattening} birthday dinner, by working out! Lately we have added in {or sometimes substituted} playing Just Dance 3 for Wii and WHEW that is a workout! One tip that I have in the scheme of losing weight is vitamins, WATER, and grapefruit juice. Keep your body energized. Grapefruit juice helps boost your fat burning and I have definitely noticed a difference between days when I have my juice and days when I don't. Staying active is equally important to eating healthy. Some will say otherwise. Some say you can eat healthy and lose weight without regular exercise, some say you can eat whatever you want as long as you exercise. I firmly believe you need to pair the two in order to be truly fit and healthy. So, whether you go to the gym, run in the neighborhood, play at the park with your kids, or have a Just Dance marathon party, get moving. The difference in how you will look and feel is amazing!
Here are our current stats:
ME:
Weight: 191.4
Total Weight Lost: 15.4 pounds!
Waist: 45"
Hips: 47"
HUBBY:
Weight: 200.2
Total Weight Lost: 15.1 pounds
Waist: 41"
Favorite foods this week: Glazed Chicken Tenders dinner from the Chef's Table Menu and the Creamy Fudge Bar dessert...yummmmmmy! Seriously. I kid you not. I really do love these foods. I'm not going to pretend that every single meal is appealing to my taste but there are plenty that are on my repeat list!
My husband has been taking before and after progress pictures so maybe next post he will allow me to share them publicly. I however am not quite that brave. I will see what I can come up with to show my progress though. It is definitely noticeable being that I've dropped about 2 pant sizes! I am so truly thankful to be taking my life back!
