I started Nutrisystem about 2 weeks ago. Pricey, yes. But totally worth it so far. The food actually tastes good! Most of it anyway. My favorites so far are the Broccoli Stuffed Chicken Breast, Thin Mint Bar, Ravioli in Meat Sauce, Trail Mix Bar, Protein Drinks, Turkey Sausage and Egg Muffin and Stuffed Apple Pie. (Wouldn't recommend the Turkey and Stuffing or Italian Herb Flat Bread Pizza. Yuk.) Yes, the portions are small, but that is what I need right now. I am at my highest weight ever and I do NOT like it. I am 5 feet tall and used to be considered petite. Never had a weight problem until my 30s. Now that I'm at the beginning of the second half of my life, I decided I do NOT want to be this big, this out of shape, this uncomfortable and this unhappy with my appearance for the rest of my life. I have a 6 year old to keep up with!
Oddly enough, since I started on the plan, I've been feeling more tired and a bit achy in the mornings and have had a lot of stomach aches (not so unusual for me in times of stress but things around here have been less stressful than usual). I'm going to assume that I'm still going to bed too late and not active enough, but I will keep a note of it. Anyway, I've lost about 5 pounds so far. Only 70ish more to go!

We now return to our regularly scheduled blog. . .
Sorry for my absence. . .it was a difficult summer. But things are looking up. . .
I finally decided that enough was enough. I tried to comfort myself with donuts all summer, and, as delicious as they were, they just made me fatter and even more unhappy with myself. So I decided a few weeks ago to join Nutrisystem. Today was only my second day, but I am hopeful. The food tastes better than I expected and I like that things are spelled out for me.
On a different note, I have become completely obsessed with shrink plastic, mandalas and backgrounds/patterns I can download. Compulsive hoarding runs in my family and in addition to amassing large quantities of crafting supplies, I have also amassed large amounts of jpgs to print onto shrink plastic. I bet you're wondering what I do with them. Good question! So far, not much. I've made a few keychains and earrings, but plan on attempting to sell some as mosaic tiles. And if they don't sell, I may make some new mosaic projects myself. Stay tuned!
Thanks for being interested in what I have to say. . .and please comment if you'd like me to blog more often!
