"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." A stylish truth about weight-loss obsession from The Devil Wears Prada.
That's exactly how I handled my now-eight-day sojourn into a cold and fever illness: "Eh, could be good for the scale." And it was.
The scale ceded a whole handful of pounds to my indisposition, so I am down 15 since starting NutriSystem! That's a lot. Even my kids are commenting every day about how I look.
My plan this week had been to switch-up my add-ins: the kind of dressing, the daily allowed fat, the type of fruit. These switches were based on a RealAge email about great fat-burning foods like pears and apple cider vinegar and safflower oil. Seemingly, they worked well for a day or two.
Then I basically laid down whenever I could and stopped eating for the rest of the week.
My sickness spelled the end for my add-in experiment. When I arose, I spent two days eating nothing but a bag of Lays Classic Potato Chips until they were gone. That's not on the plan, in case you're wondering. I blame lingering fever madness.
I can't comment extensively on my experience this week with NutriSystem entrees since I wasn't eating much of anything. I took much comfort and solace from a bowl of NutriSystem Italian-Style Wedding Soup yesterday -- was it this soup that finally got me on my feet? :) -- and was nourished by the Three Cheese Pasta with Chicken on another. It ticks me off that NutriSystem came in third on the Good Morning America taste-test of diet plans when I find the food pretty darn tasty.
So here we are in a new week, and I am finally capable of sitting upright for more than a few minutes. Time to renew the focus, to pump up the effort, and not gain back the sick weight. Since I'm not completely reovered yet, I am taking my NutriSystem effort very slowly, meal by meal, and cough by cough.
But I have a glorious day planned: NutriSystem Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with a pear and a vanilla yogurt; salad and a NutriSystem Toasted Ham & Cheese for lunch; and for dinner? Maybe a pizza with extra veggies and a salad.
