Week
One: It’s a Miracle
I
would have to say that Week one on Nutrisystem
was a success. I am so excited to finally find a program that works. As of the
end of week one I have lost 8 pounds. I know that this is not going to be the
normal loss but it is enough to kick start me into wanting to keep working on
it. I have to admit that I had a few cheats but nothing big. I took the
grandkids to McDonald’s and I found myself eating fries as I was plating their
food. I realized this week that I am a grazer. I nibble on food while I am
cooking, I find myself wanting to munch on snacks while I am working. I had not
noticed this before I had to watch everything I ate. I will have to admit that
the program is not hard but at first it is time consuming. I had to plan ahead
what our meals were and what our add in groceries would be. It took a little
time to write a grocery list then plan each day in advance. I also had to
portion out the veggies and fruits; otherwise Rick would eat more than allowed.
We had developed a lot of unhealthy eating habits that will take some time to
break. But we are excited to be in this journey.
My
husband, Rick, also lost 8 pounds but even better news is that his sugar levels
have dropped almost to normal. For the first time in years, this week his sugar
was only 150 in the morning. I can’t remember the last time it was under 200
and his “normal” was usually 350. We went to the Dr for his regular checkup and
talked with the Dr about it. He said the goal for his sugar levels is to be
under 200 (normal range is 70-120). He explained that anytime my husband’s
sugar is over 200 it is causing damage to his body, even if he can’t feel it
happening. He told him to keep doing what he is doing and he wants to follow up
in a month,May even lower some of his medication. So we are super excited that
it is this low.Rick says he can see better and he has more energy. I chuckle
when I see him running in place and swinging his arms around. His exercise has
been nearly nonexistent. I have been telling him for a year that pushing the
buttons on the remote does not count as exercise. I purchased an elliptical and the first day
he could do about 5 rounds, now he is up to 100. I even overheard him on the
phone telling our Pastor that Nutrisystem
saved his life.
Thanks
to Nutrisystem for
making this success possible for us. Looking forward to more great results.
