Week six meant knowing when to bend a bit for my healthier lifestyle. With a crazy busy schedule including Halloween, my birthday and Sharlie’s event, I was not able to control meals the way that have in the last month. Instead of feeling guilty like I normally would, I decided to go with it. In moderation. I’m an “all or nothing” person- so bending doesn’t come naturally to me.

Not quite half way through my Nutrisystem experience and I am down 14 lbs. I honestly thought that I would’ve lost more by this point. By losing it gradually I hope to keep it off for good.
Josh’s take on the whole experience up to now is: “I feel healthy.” Ummmm he’s a guy. He doesn’t want to chat about his feelings about losing weight. My take on Josh’s experience? He looks healthier. He’s excited to go to the gym. And he’s been supportive of this whole experience together.
Are you an “all or nothing” kind of person? (like me)

Good for you for sticking with it. 14 pounds is awesome!! We have made a lifestyle change around here too. I hate to call it a diet, because it needs to be a permanent change. It’s only been two weeks, and I am like “why are my jeans still tight?” I am pretty terrible with being impatient and I feel like my body should be reflecting how I feel mentally, which is like I should have lost my 10 pounds by now. And when I go on a diet and start exercising, I go a little crazy. I give myself a guilt trip when I don’t make it to the gym, and I feel so bad when I eat a cupcake or something. It’s so hard finding a mental and physical balance. Don’t even get me started on a male point of view…. they just think about a diet and they have lost weight!
Allison- you’re the best! Thanks for commenting on these posts. I feel a little (or a lot) vulnerable sharing my feelings about this “get healthy” journey. I’m a pretty open book so I didn’t think it’d be a big deal but it’s been tough!
You are just like me- the way you described what you’ve done in the past is just.like.me. It’s SO hard finding the right balance of keeping motivated and trying to change my lifestyle without feeling guilt when life happens and I can’t eat 100% according to plan. Or make it to the gym. Considering two months ago I hadn’t been to the gym for almost two years and this week I *only* made it to the gym three times instead of the 5 I did two weeks in a row before it- I need to celebrate it instead of feel bad.
Yah- guys discussing weight? Not super realistic. But I am glad that Josh has done this with me so that we can encourage each other.
Keep up the awesome work- I’m excited for your lifestyle change (same thing I am going for instead of a “diet”)!! xoxo
I am an all or nothing kind of girl but that is not always good.
I am proud of you Mique. I used to be almost 60 pound heavier and it is amazing how good you feel after you know you did it. It took me over a year and I had to take breaks here and there.
I can’t wait to see how amazing you look… Wait! You are beatiful already ;)
