First Day of Nutrisystem Journey

I have been so looking forward to the beginning of my Nutrisystem journey.  I waited impatiently for the last month to see my food arrive and to begin the journey.  Yes, impatiently for sure.  So much so that I went out and got my gym membership the first week of January to help boost my journey with Nutrisystem to the best I can be.  So, needless to say - when the packages began arriving this week I was overjoyed.  I actually SQUEALED!  I was jumping up and down barely able to contain my enthusiasm as we opened the first boxes and looked at the yummy food within.

Thus today - January 22, 2012 is my first official day on the Nutrisystem Success Program.  My morning began with a trip to the gym for a workout.  I managed 45 minutes on the treadmill and an additional 30 minutes doing a weight circuit.  Let me tell you folks, there is nothing more invigorating than feeling the burn in your body from working it hard.  Especially when you manage to beat your own personal best.  Oh, and it certainly doesn't hurt that the totally HOT shirtless body builder dude working out across from you gives you an "atta girl" and offers to help adjust your equipment for you when you are struggling (more about that in Tuesdays gym check-in post). 

I got home from the gym and ate my first Nutrisystem meal.  A truly delicious ham and egg omelet that is part of their fresh frozen meals.  Listen - I don't like eggs.  Never have, never thought I would, but these - were really good!  The ham was smokey and delicious and the creamy cheese sauce in the middle of the omelet was the perfect compliment.  At only 90 calories, I was really pleased with the taste, texture and with how filling it was.  I topped off my breakfast with a banana and a glass of water and thus began my journey with Nutrisystem Success. 

My chicken tacos at lunch were very spicy but yummy and again much more filling than I had expected.  I am about to cook some broccoli to go with my dinner this evening and of course plan on keeping you up to date on the good and bad food items I encounter - but if this is any indication of my meals to come, I am going to love every second of the Nutrisystem journey! 

As you can see in the pictures above, the boxes of food were bigger than my 4 year old!  And - he has been dying to try out some of mommies special food.  :)  I'm so lucky to have such awesome support from my family in this journey!

Here is a brief video of me trying out my first Nutrisystem meal this morning.  I thought you might like to see rather than just read my reaction to the foods I am eating!  Forgive the lack of makeup and icky appearance - I had literally just finished my workout for the day.
