I have been seeing Dr after Dr trying to figure out what exactly is causing my lack of energy. (in denial about my weight being the problem) Am I anemic? Do I have a sleep problem? Am I eating right? Do I exercise daily? The answer to all of the above is no. Yep you heard that right. I am not eating right nor am I exercising daily. Those are definitely 2 things I can remedy for a better life.

So this week is the beginning!
My initial weight is 374.6 with a BMI of 46.1 and body fat of 47.2%. I know those are some big numbers. I am also participating in a program with my local pharmacy so I will have some workout buddies who are going through these same lifestyle changes.
On the Nutrisystem program, I am sent a month worth of Nutrisystem foods, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals as well as snacks/desserts. My sample daily menu will resemble this:
Nutrisystem Breakfast (within the 1st hour of waking up)
[2-4 hours later]
1 PowerFuel (egg, yogurt, milk, etc) and 1 SmartCarb (toast, banana, oatmeal, etc)
[2-4 hours later]
Nutrisystem Lunch
[2-4 hours later]
1 PowerFuel (turkey breast, tuna, peanut butter, etc) and 1 SmartCarb (apple, roll, rice, etc)
[2-4 hours later]
Nutrisystem Dinner
[2-4 hours later]
Nutrisystem Snack or Dessert (these are the same category)
I will be supplying some of the extras like milk, eggs, and yogurt, but the majority of my foods will be provided. I am really looking forward to this so I can get used to smaller portions and learn what healthy foods can actually taste like.
Follow me on my journey and I will be posting back each week with updates. I will be posting often on my Instagram with some of my delicious meals
