Baby weight sucks. For some women, it falls right off and they look like they've never given birth. Maybe they excercised or ate impeccably while pregnant, but I'll just blame that on lucky genes. I do not fall into that category. I excercised while pregnant, but less so during my second one. I was working during pregnancy #2, so that counts as something, right? Well, I have about 20 lbs that I'd like to lose that have been very, very stubborn. I've tried a variety of things without much luck, mostly because it's hard to stick to certain things while feeding a very thin, hungry husband and 3 kids whose favorite food on the planet is pasta. I worked out and did lose a little on P90X, but summer came and it's almost impossible to do anything when the kids are not in school.
So, I've decided to try nutrisystem. They deliver the food and I supplement with fresh fruit and veggies. That seems easy enough to me. My main motivation (in addition to just wanting to lose it) is that we are going to re-model our kitchen in about a week and a half, and it will take 6-8 weeks. During that time we will have nothing more than a toaster, coffee maker, fridge and microwave. The kids can easily exist on mac-n-cheese and every kind of canned pasta there is, while the husband can eat his chicken pot pies and other things that I don't ever eat. And, we are all fans of salads, fresh fruits and veggies (one of the only things my 1 yr old eats is broccoli! seriously!), and they are easy enough to make in the microwave.
Today is day 1 of NS food. So far so good. The ceasar salad was surprisingly good, and I've been eating some good fruit. I have a 28 day supply of meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I won't get sick of it, but it doesn't seem too restrictive. I'm just hoping to get in to some nice looking jeans in time for football season!
