Nutrisystem {Week 5}

Starting off my second month of Nutrisystem, I was feeling pretty good at the beginning of the week. Things were just going in my favor, you know?

Not only were the meals tasting good, word came that Nutrisystem has now introduced four new pantry ready items to their menu and, being a vegetarian, I was both surprised and pleased when I found out I would be able to enjoy three out of the four. It's not often that the odds are that good!

These are scheduled to arrive here today, so I'm looking forward to adding them to my meals...

The Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables, Peanut Butter & Jelly Bar and Butter Flavored Popcorn are definitely going to be for me... and my husband (who isn't a vegetarian) actually loves Italian-Style Wedding Soup, so I won't have to talk him into trying that one (he's also quite a popcorn nut though, so I'll probably end up sharing a little of that as well).

So, as much as the week was going well for a while, then came the weekend. We went out of town again this weekend, although not to a resort that treated us with cake. Instead, it was for a family get-together and two days filled with buffet-style eating of chips and crackers and pizza and multiple types of homemade desserts.

Sigh.

My willpower seems to be waning a little bit lately and between these chocolates and these chocolates and all of the non-Nutrisystem food that was far too easily accessible, my heart was pounding a little bit when I stepped on the scale this morning. I really wanted to hit the 10 pound mark this week just because it was such a milestone number and I found...

Starting weight: Too much
Week 1: -3 lbs
Week 2: -3 lbs
Week 3: -1 lbs
Week 4: -1.4 lbs
Week 5: -1 lbs

Total loss: 9.4 lbs

Now, a loss of 1 pound is great... but I had stepped on the scale last Thursday and was down more than that (and had actually hit that 10 pound gone mark), so it does make me fairly annoyed at myself for all of the eating that I did over the weekend to put a little back on.

So that just means that this week I'm going to have to be extra-diligent about sticking to the plan! None of the slacking and "just one bite" that I seem to find myself doing... it's time to get back to bigger numbers again, I want not only that 10 pounds but even more! Maybe the motivation was starting to lessen... but it's back now and there won't be any excuses for next week. Just more pounds gone!
