Week 24 on Nutrisystem #NSNation Blogger Program

Week 24 on Nutrisystem #NSNation Blogger Program

Summer has finally started to emerge here and I must say that working out upstairs in a room without air conditioning is quite dreadful. However, you do sweat more than usual, so I guess that is a plus. This week, I am going to talk more about the Nutrisystem food, in particular what my favorite and least favorite meal currently is. Favorite this week: I must say, the chicken and pasta in caccitore sauce is heavenly, but I am somewhat…

Week 23 on Nutrisystem #NSNation Blogger Program

Week 23 on Nutrisystem #NSNation Blogger Program

Since I was on summer break, I tried to work out on the elliptical every day. Sometimes it was daunting, and sometimes I just got the spurt to get up and do it, which made it easy of course since I had this unknown energy. I decided I need to work on my incline and set it at 75% instead of my usual 25%. To me, it doesn’t really feel like going uphill, but it surely does work your legs…

Down 32lbs and Counting!

Down 32lbs and Counting!

As the blog title states, I am down 32lbs, but probably not so much after this night of drinking red bull and vodka. Damn the empty calories in booze.

But I will take what I can get. Nutrisystem will be over in a month, but I will be…

I Have Lost 23.4lbs So Far!

On a more positive note… I have lost 23.4lbs and I am hoping I go down another 17lbs in the next 2 months. If I keep exercising on the elliptical that we bought, or continuously go on hikes on weekends it’s nice, I think I can easily reach that goal. I took some before and in-between progress photos that I won’t share here, since they are vomit inducing, but I can definitely tell a difference even though my pants size…

Cool Recipe Friday: Orange Peel Jello-Shots

Cool Recipe Friday: Orange Peel Jello-Shots

I think I am going to start doing a neat recipe to share with all of you on Fridays, when days are slow or unproductive for me. This one I found on Facebook by friends and I plan on making this the next time we have a shindig or are invited to one. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a lot of orange killing to provide such beauty, but I can always bag the remains and stick them in the freezer…
