This post on healthy lunch ideas is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO

When you’re trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle one of the biggest roadblocks can be life itself.  It often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get all the necessities done, let alone anything extra.  Things like the gym or getting a full night’s sleep sort of fall by the wayside.

One of the easiest ways that I’ve found to stay on track is to stock my freezer with frozen meals.  Breakfast and lunch are both frequently a “lite” or healthy entree that I can pop in the microwave.  They’re huge time-savers and you can’t beat the portion and calorie control that a prepackaged meal provides.

A couple of weeks ago I shared that I was kicking off the Couch to 5k (C25K) program and getting my run on.  Now that I have the first two weeks under my belt I thought I would share with you a little bit more about the program and how I am feeling. Continue reading »

In the weeks before she returned to college this fall, A1 became a huge fan of running.  She studied running online, talking sport with serious runners, and ran everyday.  She also talked about training to run a marathon.

That got me to thinking.  I’ve participated in a number of charitable “walks” over the years, but I’ve never participated in anything more serious than a fun-run.  In fact, looking back, I actually can’t recall doing much  real running.  I love a brisk walk – even jogging – but running just wasn’t anything anyone in my circle of friends did for fitness.

Did you know that last month Nutrisystem celebrated their 40th anniversary?  That’s a pretty amazing feat for any company.  What is even more amazing to me, though, is that over the last decade, Nutrisystem has helped people lose a collective 71 million pounds!  Holy smokes!  That’s enough sticks of butter to circle the world at the equator.

Since the introduction of Nutrisystem, they’ve continued to innovate and update in order to promote the greatest amount of success for those following the plan.  They’ve added a Men’s plan, Women’s plan, Nutrisystem Silver, the Select (fresh-frozen) meals, and most recently the new fresh-frozen Chef’s Table Collection and the SUCCESS plan.  There’s truly something for everyone.

Things are continuing to roll along well for me personally, too.  I’m doing better about remembering my protein shake (thanks to the comment from Emily last week about setting a reminder on my phone), it’s been in the 70s and 80s so the weather has been prime for lots of outdoor walking and adventures (like the zoo!), and I lost another 2 pounds!

Previously: -9 lbs

Week 10: -2 lbs

Total: – 11 lbs

That puts me over the 10 loss mark and also brings my total monthly loss of 5 pounds – just shy of my 7 pound goal, with two weeks left in the month.  I’m really confident I’ll meet my goal, and that’s exciting!

I haven’t had a chance to share yet but I’m excited to announce that I am going to be participating in the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger program!  For the next 16 weeks I’ll be following the Nutrisystem Women’s Select Program – and sharing my results with you.  My first 4 weeks of food have arrived, but I’m not officially starting until Monday.

Eating during the holidays can be a challenge, but Nutrisystem has created 10 great tips for surviving the holidays.  You can see them at the bottom of this post.

I’ll kick off my official posting on Monday, and then I’ll be posting an update once a week after that.  If you have any questions about the program, how to get started, the food – whatever! – please leave me a comment and I’d be happy to answer. Continue reading »
