For the last 6 weeks I have been hovering at the same point. Losing a pound or two then gaining it back, fluctuating back and forth every few weeks. While I guess I should be glad for the maintaining and not gaining, I’m not to a point where I want to stop losing. So… I’ve decided to try a reboot (think unplug the computer and kick it a few times). I lost a lot in the very beginning using Nutrisystem and not eating anything off plan, so I’ve decided to go back on it for at least the next three weeks. I had a goal of getting to 170 before the Becoming Conference (3 weeks away) and while that isn’t a healthy goal anymore, I’d be glad to at least lose 5 lbs before then.
This weeks numbers:
Starting Weight (18 weeks ago): 202
Last Week: 178.2
Current Weight: 179.6
Goal Weight: 165
My original goal was to hit 165 before 9/1 and I could still possibly do that. 15 lbs in 6.5 weeks will be tight, but I’m not losing hope yet!
So for this week my little goals:
- Stick to Nutrisystem for all meals (thankfully we aren’t traveling any for a bit)
- Exercise 4-5 times each week.
- Drink lots of water!
I haven’t really talked a lot about water on my weekly posts. I’ll confess it’s because I’m not a huge water fan. I like bubbly drinks with taste. However, my body is a fun of water and I am realizing I do so much better when I am hydrated. So I’m adding it as a goal/plan so that I’ll stick to it. I even got a fun water bottle to tote with me everywhere to make it seem more fun.
Any other tips you have for breaking out of the rut I’m in?

Right now you can get a Brother HL-2320D Mono Laser Printer at Staples for only $59.99 (reg. $99)! It also has free shipping.

This is my all time favorite coupon printer. Being a laser printer it prints crisp clean barcodes that always scan and prints a ton of pages per toner cartridge. It comes with toner that will print 700 sheets and then head to Amazon and get a high yield replacement cartridge for around $10 that will print 2600 sheets!
I know many of you already have this printer, so leave your thoughts below to help others decide if this is right for them.

You can’t have enough printable quotes. When our daughter had surgery last year and we set her up in a temporary room, we put a lot of framed Bible verses and encouraging quotes in her new room. I love this quote for a nursery or kids’ room. Print the quote and put it in a frame and you have an instant DIY gift!
