Nutrisystem {Week 20} and Reviewer's Retreat Awaits!

I'm hopping on the scale a day early this week because I didn't want Nutrisystem to get pushed out of the limelight due to the fact that, after months of waiting, I'm boarding my plane and heading to...


That's right, Reviewer's Retreat is finally here. The first conference geared specifically for us review bloggers, I'm so excited to not only get to go chat about all things review blogging, but I get to hang out at the Great Wolf Lodge in Poconos, PA with amazing ladies like Nichol and Liz and Alison and about 80 more.

Will it be fun?

Absolutely.

Will I learn a lot?

I hope so.

Is there going to be far too much tempting food there?

Um...

I did already tell Liz that it is her job to keep me from overeating, so I hope she can live up to the task.

In all seriousness, there's a whole meal plan that comes along with this conference, so Nutrisystem is staying home this trip. However, I still have faith that I can make it a few days of making responsible, healthy choices. If the Nutrisystem Nation has taught me anything, it's that it's clearly possible to eat on vacation and not come home having gained weight.

And while I'm there, I can't help but be excited that I get to be proud of being 20 pounds lighter than I otherwise would have been had I not started with Nutrisystem 20 weeks ago. This is the Great Wolf Lodge! With a massive water park! Where people wear swimsuits! There's definitely no better time to have lost weight.

Not only that, I had to go out shopping a few days ago to find regular clothes that actually fit! Back in Week 8 I showed the pile of jeans that I had that I was finally ready to try on after having been too small for so long... well, that pile has all been tried on and, by now, they're all too big. That's what 20 pounds can do!

So, I'm all prepared now with my new jeans and my plane ticket in hand. Reviewer's Retreat awaits and, with it, a true test for me and how much Nutrisystem has taught me. We'll see the results next week! For now...

Previous loss: 20.8 lbs

This week: -0.4 lbs

Total loss: 21.2 lbs

That's just about the smallest loss possible, but it's a loss. And hey, I'm too busy heading to the airport to wish it had been more. Even though it's a tiny step, it's still a step in the right direction and that's all that matters. Now... it's vacation time!
