Day 24

Just to clarify, I took yesterday off of Nutrisystem, not work. And it was glorious. 

I have been completely honest with you all here, about the struggles, but also about how very easy this program is. It is nice to not have to make decisions about what to eat. And there's no guilt. But to have one day was really nice. 

Now, here are some justifications/excuses for why. Aside from the fact that hash browns are delicious. I did read somewhere at some point that it's good to have a day here and there where your calorie intake is higher. Something about your body and metabolism getting used to having less food. So I'm thinking maybe my day off will kick my metabolism back into higher gear? Maybe? 

Also, I read on the Nutrisystem site that weight loss counselors consider a person successful if they follow a program 85% of the time. So I think a day off here every few weeks is totally acceptable! 

Well, at the very least, it was good for my soul. 

In other news, I purchased the Nutrisystem Activity Tracker. It was on sale for only $30, so I figured why not. It's only day one, but it's amazing how little I move. Yet another excuse, it's a work day and I'm at my desk all day. But really, I move even less at home on the weekends and days I work from home. So we're gonna work on that...
