Nutrisystem: Journey of a Hero Week 10 #NSNation

 Last week I shared with you some of the food options available on Nutrisystem. Truly an amazing selection for even the pickiest eaters.

This week, I tried focusing on My Daily 3.

Exercise combined with a low calorie diet can help you lose weight faster, and with our new personalized fitness program, you get the extra edge you need to succeed.

I'm not even going to try and schmooze you into thinking this is easy. It is probably my BIGGEST struggle. The kiddos and life keep me going continuously, but it's not enough.

Getting out there and moving, in my mind, seems do-able. Then morning comes and I really have to motivate myself to get out there and walk. The weather is getting nicer so I'm doing yard work. The kiddos and I have gone on a few bike rides.

I know this will get easier.

We watched part of Extreme Makeover where the viewer followers one person on their journey. In the episode we watched we stood at the bottom of these stairs and the trainer told him there was some crazy number like 248 steps. My husband asked, "Could you do it?"

I told him, "Absolutely!" Then added, "As long as there is no time limit! I'm not a quitter!"

No sooner had I said this than the trainer announced he had ten minutes to get to the top.

Oh, boy!

The man met the time limit and we watched him weigh in. He had lost 104 pounds in 90 days.

As we watched the show I also watched him struggle, and eventually leave his fiancee. I really had a lot of admiration for him. Losing weight is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's one of the few things I haven't done well. I know the pain of trying to live with people who don't understand, don't respect your diet or support you.

I also understand I can't just make the decision to walk away from my family. It would be easier on my diet, but it's not really what I want. I have to find a balance.

This week my goal is going to be to get out there and meet My Daily 3.

I'm on the second week of no gain, no loss on the scale.

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

Best Friends: A Reunion After 14 Years

 It had been a long, long time. Unbelievably, time did NOT standstill. People came and went in our lives. It had been fourteen years since I last saw the person who forever will be known as "MY BEST FRIEND." There's no need to hide anything. I was nervous. Those five tenants who rented my uterus for nine months at a time were less than friendly to my body. Not that it should matter, he saw my best and worst side for two years, and now should be no different. Saturday time DID standstill. It seemed to drag on and on. I was introduced to his son. It was like looking through a time machine...he had the same hands, fingers, and fingernails as his dad and his bottom lip matched his. They had the same neck and the shape of their eyes. Wow! Genes are pretty amazing ! I stood against the chain link fence, #72 embedded in my line of vision. He was at the starting line and I was ready to watch him race . It would be the first time I'd seen him race--something he loved. This was

Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing

We were giddy and today we learned Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing. My grandma called this morning around 11am. She had some errands to run and then she'd be by to visit. She comes over once a week. I usually do her hair and we drink coffee and enjoy being women . My two smaller children were so excited. They refused to nap exclaiming they were waiting for " Charlotte the Great "! By Noon, they were wired from their sleepiness and in need of a nap. So, I promised when Charlotte the Great came, I'd wake them up. By 1pm I was restless. Where was she? My stomach was upset, I contributed this to the six pieces of Hershey's Bliss I'd devoured while waiting. And still...I waited. I really had no place to go, but by 1:30 pm I was feeling like I was late. Like I needed to be somewhere. I think I was just bored and looking forward to "girl time" had me anxious. Then it happened. About 1:57 pm the phone rang. My Grandma on the o
