Nurtisystem Update

I’m on Nutrisystem and I’ve come to find out, I’m not very good at diets. I have already cheated twice this week, my calves hurt from working out (on MONDAY) and I bought chocolate chip cookies yesterday at BiLo so now they are just sitting there in the kitchen waiting to be snacked on. Yes, I could have avoided those nachos at lunch yesterday and yes, I could have kept a workout routine that wouldn’t make me look like I was 80 years old walking down the stairs last night at the movies but no, I probably wouldn’t have resisted those chocolate chip cookies. ha- I was bound and determined to get them. I passed them 3 times before I gave up and gave in. Of course- you can’t put something back once it’s in your cart- grocery etiquette. or what I tell myself.

I’m not a freak about weight. I prefer to be healthy than worry about a certain size. I do realize that I like being fit so I want to get back on track. Last year, I did the Tracy Anderson Method and felt amazing so I’m hoping Nurtisystem + Tracy = healthy. I’m much happier on Nutrisystem than her diet plan though. (even though I cheat) Tracy was making me eat smashed parsnips and green kale shots. NOT HAPPENING. Plus I had to buy all these silly ingredients I never cook with that cost more than her workout video. Nutrisystem is not that expensive and you eat extra things you’d normally eat on a diet like yogurt and salads. Much better. It’s sick to say that I feel the food is like a little surprise to me each day. You think you’re getting this:

When you’re really getting this:

SURPRISE! haha

It really all taste pretty good and I’ve never felt hungry. I’m actually eating more now than I did before. They make you snack between meals where as before, I only ate a big lunch and dinner and no snacks or breakfast. By eating a little bit all day, I think it will really help my metabolism. Mom is trying this with me and so far, it’s been great. We’ll see how our trip this weekend together works. It’s hard to eat well when you’re on the road. Wish me good luck!

My Staycation Weekend

Many people come to Myrtle Beach to visit each Summer but not many locals stay for a vacation. Well I decided to stick around and have a little fun and act like a tourist.

Thursday, Mom and I had a fun little day of getting fitted for a fashion show (more on that later), having lunch at Salt Creek Cafe, then shopping at Tanger Outlets THEN treating ourselves to a fine dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Cagney’s. I used to go there a lot when I was little and they had a dancing room and I’d go and dance on my dad’s feet. Did y’all ever do that? Standing right on top of them. haha

On Friday, Aaron asked me to go to the mall. I don’t think he realized how dangerous that question was. haha- Don’t worry, I went easy on him. Kind of…

Today was also the day to the end of my life. Yes- I’m not being dramatic. Mom and I ordered nutrisystem to give it a shot. I get half and she gets half so technically, the end of my life for 2 weeks. I’m gonna give it a serious go- PLEASE cross your fingers for me. It looks pretty unappealing. I’ll keep you updated.

Later that day, I went to see Step Up Revolution with Laura and it was AMAZING!!! OMG. Seriously the best Step Up movie to date. Adam Shankman is a genius. It had lots of So You Think You Can Dance stars like Mia Michaels, Twitch, and Katherine. You gotta see it.

Laura, Erin and I had a nice little SoHo outing that night with good friend Erin that came in town. Yes- SO many Erin/Aarons in my life hahahah. SO great to have girls night and catch up. Love them so…

Saturday, the cotillion I’m a part of threw a beautiful Mother/Daughter Luncheon. I have some stories for this one later. That night, I continued my tourist vacation by going to a Seafood Buffet! I can’t believe some of the food that those people in there can put away. I did pretty well myself- it was SO good. I’m just getting it out of my system in time for Nutrisystem…. HA

Sunday was a chill day with church and eating lol. The boyfriend came over and I caught him doing this while I was blogging…

Napping!! So I woke him up and made him play me in:

Rounding out my weekend was a nice spaghetti dinner at home with the parents. Even though I never left, this weekend was very nice and we managed to find lots of things to do! Hope you had a nice weekend, too.
