If I live through this week it will be incredible. I am on my second week of Nutrisystem, VBS is in full swing, I have a funeral this afternoon, and my sister is getting married this weekend. I am singing in the wedding and at the reception, so I've got a lot going on there, plus it's in Knoxville, which complicates things.
VBS started last night, and it went really well. I think VBS is an incredible idea that has worked for decades, and is STILL a viable and effective evangelism tool for the church. But dang does it wear out the teachers and workers.
Now, as for the Nutrisystem...I tried this last year and looking back on my journal entries I lost an average of 2 pounds per week while on it until about the 13th week, where I just stopped losing. I don't know what happened, but my weight loss completely petered out around that 13 unlucky week, and never started back again. I went about 2 months without losing weight before finally just giving up on the program. Almost a year later, I had gained 27 of those pounds back and started looking pregnant again.
I had decided around January of this year that I would try Low Carb again. To be honest with you, I really gave it an honest go for about 4 months and didn't lose any weight. I KNOW I was doing it the right way because I was hyper careful, and I'm REALLY well educated and REALLY well read on the subject. I even bought a membership at the YMCA and averaged 5 days a week working out. Nothing.
Well, here I am after the first week on Nutrisystem again, and what are the results? My official first weigh in 9 days ago was 213 pounds. My weight this morning is 206 pounds. There's an extra two days in this first week because my official weigh-in days are on Mondays, and I started on a Saturday morning, but still...two days ago I weighed 208, which would be 5 pounds in 7 days, which is still incredible.
So anyway, I will be making entries every Monday morning specificially related to my weight loss. I am also taking measurements, but I don't have those on me right now, and I'll probably only post those once a month anyway.
