Nutrisystem Here I Go! {Week 1} #sponsored #NsNation @Nutrisystem

Disclosure:  I received this program and meals in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

So first off I want to say that I have never in my life dieted.  I am someone who loves to eat and while I do try to watch what I eat, I also indulge in foods I like.  I know I eat way more than I should at times.  I decided though that since we are done having kids (that has been my excuse) and now with my high blood pressure, I need to do something about my diet.  I need help.  In comes Nutrisystem….

What appealed to me right away about Nutrisystem is that it is all pre-packaged food.  I like that I don’t have to cook certain recipes, go shopping for certain foods for recipes, or try to figure out the nutritional value.  Nutrisystem is so easy and convenient!  I really don’t have any excuses I could use with Nutrisystem, other than of course I wasn’t able to eat the Nutrisystem food because I was out of town or something – but even then I could still eat according to their recommendations.  Yes there is an app for that and I am loving it – more to come in another post about the Nutrisystem app.

So anyways this week started my 3-month long journey with Nutrisystem and when they say the first day/week is the hardest, they weren’t kidding.  I have never measured my foods or ate pre-packaged meals regularly so it is a change for me, but I hope I can stick with it.
