Fall isnt the time to start this....

We decided to start Nutrisystem in an effort to make ourselves feel better and be overall more healthy and fit. And of course we want to both look good for the wedding :)

We just began the program on November 1st. We kind of gorged ourselves on Halloween which was probably not the best idea. We stayed home, didnt have one trick or treater, and ate all night long! I made our "last hurrah" meal of meatloaf and baked potatoes and then we topped off the night at Big Scoop with banana royale sundaes....ugh, so bad! Food is our one weakness and we both love to eat. We are seriously dreading the holidays but we will probably allow ourselves a little cheating room on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I would regret it all year if I didnt eat my dads famous stuffing loaded in gravy :) Moderation, moderation, moderation!!

So far we have done well. We have stuck to the meal plans and so far have even seen a few pounds lost. Now we need to add in the exercise and we will be on a roll. We are both excited about the program and the food isnt too bad at all. It is actually fun to plan out our meals and keep track of our success online. The only downfall is that it takes a lot of preparation and it is expensive. However, with how much we go out to eat and buy at the grocery store, it all works out to about even pricing. This doesnt mean that you all cant ask us to dinner though :) We can stray away from the pre-packaged food and simply be more sensible when we go out. We havent gone out yet but we want to get into the swing of it first so we dont fall off track. We will keep you all posted on the program as time progresses. Wish us luck!
