The Eighth Week………
I am in my eighth week on the Nutrisystem diet. I am still having issues with my Achilles tendon. I am in fact going to get an MRI on it today to see if I need surgery or not. I know if I could exercise then my progress would be much faster. I really want to get back into exercise. I like that the food alone CAN work, but I know how much faster my progress would be if I could exercise. I will keep everyone updated on my MRI report. Part of me does not want surgery, but the other part of me just wants to get all of this over and back to a normal physically active lifestyle.
One thing I am proud of over the last week was my ability to JUST SAY NO to Easter candy. Cadbury eggs are my favorite, and I always look forward to having a couple each year. I was actually able to control myself and not eat any this year. I would see them sitting in my kids baskets as I walked by and would just tell myself, “Will it really be worth it?” Each time I was able to convince myself that losing weight was more important than having Easter candy. If you missed any of my first few Nutrisystem posts, please read them HERE so you can see where I started.
PROGRESS SO FAR:
Starting Weight: 165
Current Weight: 159.8
Total Loss: 5.2 pounds!!!
So happy to have left the 160s! I wish things were faster, but with no exercise at all this is not too bad I guess.
Here’s to a NEW WEEK! I still need to work on water intake and recording my food. Please leave me a COMMENT telling me what accomplishments you had this week in your journey to be healthy!

Great job!! Don’t be discouraged by the slow progress…. in fact, it’s been said, the slower it comes down, the more likely it is to STAY down! So, take comfort in that 🙂 Keep up the great work! ♥
Great JOB! I am so proud of you! You have made such a progress in these past weeks, as I read the blog updates.!! You can do it, girl!!
Awesome job – love seeing your progress and I had the candies – they were not that good
I’ve been replacing my tea with water every day! Great job on the 5 lb loss!!!! Good for you!
You are doing great! Don’t be too hard on yourself! You look awesome!
Great job! I hope the MRI goes well!!
Good job on the Easter candy. Why do all of our holidays focus around food and chocolate?
Congratulations on your will power and healthy dieting with Nutrisystem. I hope you get some resolution from your MRI.
Wow, great job… Those Easter baskets look SO tempting!

You’re doing fantastic!! I don’t know that i’d have that kind of willpower!
What an awesome job!!! My will power is non existent!!!
Great job! I hope all goes well with the Achilles. I have not been doing well this past week. Completely fell off the bandwagon actually. I need to hop back on. 75 lbs isn’t going to lose itself!
Good job, mama! I definitely ate too much candy!
Good job having so much self control. I wish I’d been so strong! Congrats on the weight loss!
