The chicken hoarding husband and I will be leaving to go on an all expense paid trip to the beautiful Hawaii island of Oahu in June. After lots of hard work as an independent consultant for Scentsy I'm going on the vacation of a lifetime.
So what's any girl to do when you realize you're going to one of the most popular tropical destinations in the world where there's a chance someone might catch a glimpse of the slight dimples in your thighs? Well, you change your habits that's what!
Now, I haven't always been so good at goals, especially when it comes to losing weight, but by-golly...I've had some determination these past few months and if I can earn a trip to Hawaii, I think I can handle dropping a few pounds. So in March I ordered Nutrisystem, against my husband's advice.
Some of his comments are as follows:
"You won't stick with it."
"It's a waste of money."
"Isn't there something cheaper out there."
Not that I ever really listen to him anyway, but I did take it upon myself to shut him up by reminding him of our chicken feed bill. The chicken feed bill on the chickens, ducks, turkey and geese that are here only too look at, lay eggs and NOT eat. Yeah those. So against his advice I ordered a months supply of food including some frozen food and my journey with Nutrisystem began on April 1.
So how are things working out for me on this plan? Well, I'm glad you asked. There's no need really for numbers here, let me just paint you a picture of the pickle I'm in.
I tried my swimsuit tankini tops on tonight for the 2nd time since I got them about a month ago. They have a built in bra to "boost" my money makers up. Well, they don't fit. The cups are too big. What's a girl to do? I can only imagine using some of those plastic like, skin colored enhancers to fill these pups up, and why not? If worse comes to worse they can always double as flotation devices if I start drowning in the blue waters of the pacific. So it really seems like I'd get my money's worth. Can you imagine a lifeguard sprinting out to save me (imagine David Hasseloff from Baywatch) and then to his horror I pull out my life preserve all the while yelling, I got it, I'm good. However, I'll drown any day for Ryan Gosling.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm better off waiting until the week before we leave since my body is changing so rapidly. I've lost 15.8 pounds to date, but the lost inches, good eating habits, and dedication to work out to accomplish a goal has proven much greater.
The Nutrisystem plan is great, but honestly I cannot contribute all of my weightloss to it. I've learned that a major part of weightloss or really any accomplishment really is support. I receive a lot of my support from a Facebook group that I share with some of my fellow Scentsy consultants. Their motivation, inspiration, and kind words have helped me more than they know. Even my poultry obsessed spouse has become very supportive of me and more self conscious of what he eats as well. I just hope he can handle being away from his fowl for such a long period.
