NutriSystem, Week 8

Oh, what a week it was with NutriSystem! As you may recall, last week I hit a weight loss plateau. My solution was to break from routine, mix it up and let me body know that I was still paying attention. And, what a perfect week of ‘change’ it was, since I flew to Toronto for a couple of days, to film the new Dove Singing In The Rain commercial. So, like it or not – my happy little routine was going to get shaken up.

I left for the airport prepared with some NutriSystem breakfast bars. I knew that I would be slacking on the food department, due to the circumstances. Yet I thought I could at least try and get a NutriSystem breakfast in there {good intentions, right?}. Yet, those I took, also can home with me {#Fail}. Here are the high’s and low’s of this past week….

#Fail’s

• Due to nerves and stubbornness, I ordered coke to drink, on the plane
  {I had kicked the pop for months until then *sigh*}
• I didn’t go to the gym for 5 of the 7 days
• I indulged in the wicked catering provided at the film studios – a lot
• Upon celebration of a most awesome day, a couple of us hit a pub for caesars and loaded nachos {yet we barely made a dent in the plate}
• Nervousness caused me to not sleep for a solid 3 days
• the same excuse caused me to take a liking to {regular} lattes

ok, ok – so as you can tell, I was a bad girl for most of last week. But, these #Fails do come with some plus-sides:

#Yaa’s

• I wore a miniskirt again, in front of cameras and an audience
• I danced my butt off during rehearsals and filming
• Eating so much caused stomach pains for days, proof of what that can do to a person. Though it was the hard way, I did learn
• The day after I got back, I hit the gym again
• I also slid {very easily} back into the NutriSystem meal plan
• Going back to the NutriSystem plan took the tummy pains away
• And after all that unhealthy food, it tasted sooo good
• I lost weight this week – take THAT plateau!

Week 8 results: -2 lbs
Total weight loss to date: -19 lbs
