Week Five Results of My Weight Loss Journey With Amway’s Nutrilite!

March 1, 2012 By

My week started off with a two pound weight loss. I have now lost 15 pounds. I should be ecstatic and motivated but I feel like this has been the most difficult week for me.

I don’t know why.

I feel frustrated.

I feel some old cravings creeping up on me.

I don’t want to go down this road and fall back into bad habits.

So, here I am not only being honest with you but most importantly I have to be honest with myself.  I am trying to figure out what has changed for me over the past week that has put me in this negative place.

I have been taking the suggested Nutrilite supplements faithfully. 

I ran out of the Nurtilite Meal Bars that I talked about in previous posts.

Excercise has stayed the same but has not increased.

I have not been taking the time to make the recipes as faithfully as I had the first full month.

 As I read what I just wrote I can see how important it is to take the time to make the meals.  I also really think having the Nutrilite Meal bars was key for me in keeping my hunger and cravings in control.

 I went back and reread some of my previous posts.  I really was into making all the recipes and was enjoying making the food.  I need to get back to that place!

Today is a new day and I am deteremined to work through this! 

I had hopes of putting a favorite recipe on last week with a step by step instructions using the Flip Video.  It didn’t turn out as I had hoped so I will redo it and see if I can get it posted this weekend.

Wishing you a day filled with healthy eating and all the nutrients your body deserves!

Week Four Results of My Weight Loss Journey With Amway’s Nutrilite!

February 21, 2012 By

It’s hard for me to believe that this marks my fourth completed week on the Nutrilite Weight loss Program for Fat Trimmers. My weight loss results for this week of 1 pound weren’t exactly what I was hoping for nor expecting.  I do feel good with the 13 pound weight loss overall for the past four weeks!

I must confess, I normally am one to get frustrated if I don’t have much of a weight loss. In the past if the numbers weren’t showing much success I would give up.  I would feel like it wasn’t worth it.

This time I feel differently.

I feel good! I feel healthy!

I feel motivated to keep going! I am looking at this as a lifestyle change something that is forever not something I am going to quit doing.

I incorporated the 4-3-2-1 Body Training DVD into my week. I had been walking mostly for exercise so I really needed to start moving other parts of my body. Whether you’re new to exercise or you’ve been working out for years, the 4-3-2-1 Body Training DVD, presented by the NUTRILITE® brand, can help you burn fat and build muscle in as little as 10 minutes a day! The DVD is simple to understand and offers two different levels of exercise. The Nutrilite Excercise Bands are great! My arms are definitely being worked! I also received an Excercise Ball but I just don’t feel comfortable using it. I almost feel as if 5ft 10 inch frame is too tall for this size of ball! I will try it again and see if maybe I can get used to it.

As I reflect back on this past month, I only have positive thoughts about this program. I have learned a lot along the way. I plan to keep moving forward on this lifestyle change using all of the knowledge, experience and wonderful tools I have been given to be successful. I have some new favorite recipes that I have made this past month and can’t wait to make them again.

I am looking forward to sharing one of my favorites with you later this week! The Greek Frittata! I think I could eat this several times a week! Check back for this simple to make yet scrumptious meal!

Wishing you a day filled with healthy eating and all the nutrients your body deserves!

Week 3 Results of My Weightloss Journey With Amway’s Nutrilite!

February 13, 2012 By

I have hit several fast food restaurants this past week.  McDonald’s, Arby’s, and Hardee’s. I am sure as you read this you are thinking, ”Oh no!  She blew it!”

I am thrilled to say I stayed with Amway’s Nutrilite Weight Management Program for Fat Trimmers and lost an additional 3 pounds this week!  I am now down 12 pounds and feel fantastic.  It was a challenge eating out at these restaurants. They weren’t my choice but I was determined to make it work.   I now feel like I have a plan for future fast food restaurants visits!

I always make sure I have a Nurtilite Meal bar with me and a fruit.  That way if I can’t find something to eat at a restaurant I have this to fall back on.

I have learned that for me, it is better to buy two side salads (minus the cheese).  Two of these work out to be about 3 cups of salad and they usually are more  reasonably priced. I think part of the key to not giving in at these restaurants is making sure I eat my breakfast in the morning, have my mid morning snack and take the suggested supplements faithfully!

I went to the movie yesterday with my daughter.  I think this is the first time that I have gone to a movie and did not get popcorn!In the past, I would walk in those doors, smell the popcorn and head directly to the concession line.  Even if I was on a diet.   I craved it so much I just couldn’t resist.

This time was different! I planned ahead.

Prior to the movie I had eaten my suggested lunch.  I also brought along a Nutrilite snack bar just to have in case I started craving something sweet.  Planning ahead is so important in staying on this new eating lifestyle!  But it can be done with making the time and thinking ahead.

This week, one of my favorite recipes in Amway’s Nutrilte Weight Management Fat Trimmer Journal, was the “Veggie Fajitas.”


Veggie Fajitas
Serves:  4    Prep: 25 Min.

Ingredients
2 cups diced zucchini or yellow squash

1-2 cloves minced garlic
2 cups red, green and yellow pepper strips
1 cup onions, sliced
1 T. Chili powder, or to taste
1/2 cup fat-free refried beans, heated
1T. slice jalapeno peppers, or to taste (I skipped this!)
1 cup salsa
Shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes
Large Lettuce leaves, such as romaine
8 Multigrain tortillas

Prepartation
Steam zucchini/squash until cooked, but not mushy.
Add peppers, onion, garlic, and chili powder.

Place one large lettuce leaf on each warm tortilla.
Top each lettuce leaf with warmed beans and vegetable mixture.
Add salsa and jalapeno toppings to taste.
Wrap each tortilla “burrito-style” and enjoy.
Exchanges: 3 vegetable, 2 carbs
Having some fantastic, easy to make recipes really helps me in recognizing that this can be for a lifetime.

It’s real food.
Food that I am making.
Food that I enjoy eating!

Wishing you a day filled with healthy eating and all the nutrients your body deserves!
